I don't understand?

seattlelites January 18 2011, 02:46:04 UTC

What's the use of coming back - to life, I mean - if you'll be missing something?

sewards January 18 2011, 02:52:26 UTC

I wish I knew.

But... Did any of them? Those that died here and came back? It happens, it's happened so many times. You see them die but... then they're back. Without a scratch on their head.

Why did they come back? Is HQ that powerful...

I for one don't have any problem with this place. I don't have to climb out of bathroom windows anymore to avoid questions about my budget.

sewards January 18 2011, 02:44:17 UTC

Really? You're not...

You're not sick of it? I am.

illannoyance January 18 2011, 02:47:00 UTC

What is there to be sick of? Shit happens. We see it all the time with our populations.

The only difference is this time it's cities, states, and whatever else.

sewards January 18 2011, 02:58:35 UTC

[[a silence.]] No. We don't.

I've seen deaths and murders and ravaging animals. Earthquakes and destruction. But this place... This place. I c-can't even explain. C-can't even...

[[she shakes her head.]] And now... I know I can't leave.

I heard if you die enough times you can~

sewards January 18 2011, 02:59:47 UTC

[[alert!]]

Where did you hear that...?

moskva_prince January 18 2011, 03:31:44 UTC

I was joking silly.

Do you will believe everything I say?

sewards January 18 2011, 03:38:59 UTC

Oh. Right. Of course. Joking.

Haha.

[ Glaring at nothing in particular. Thinking. Sometimes, when people say things, he listens. He wish he wouldn't have. ]

You're not beat up about this too, are you?

sewards January 18 2011, 03:05:34 UTC

I am.

I wish I wasn't, though. [[her eyes are seemingly dimmer than usual. hazy, clouded.]]

grizzlyland January 18 2011, 03:26:03 UTC

You shouldn't be. [ And his glare increases, although he's still not quite looking at her and so hasn't noticed anything off yet. ]

There's probably been 20 deaths here, and they should all be treated the same.

sewards January 18 2011, 03:31:10 UTC

How can I not?

[[she holds her head and rocks a little, trying to lull the oncoming headache away before it becomes a hassle.]] You say that. And, a-anyway, were they really "deaths"? How many came back? How many are still here?

[[pause.]] I can't even define death anymore.

[Low muttering. Of someone who is both upset by this, and of someone who can sort of understand.]

I know. I've tried.

sewards January 18 2011, 03:36:36 UTC

You... you've tried? [[a small wave of surprise crosses her face, but it quickly replaced with a sleepy, but terribly sad, expression.]]

Logan...

ouragans January 18 2011, 03:42:44 UTC

Yeah.

[He taps the right side of his head, not quite looking at her while doing so.]

Didn't work so awesome. Kind of sucks when you wake up.

[He does a half shrug, also tired.]

Fuckin' selfish, huh? Especially after today.

sewards January 18 2011, 03:54:25 UTC

[[she has to hold back shock. logan, of all people...]]

Ah. Y-yeah. I mean, you-- I don't know.
