5th Encounter - Wiped Memories

Sep 27, 2009 22:02

I'm What I don't know what to say. Now that the headache is gone and I can actually focus enough through the sound of the rain to get writing again, I don't know what to put down. I guess the simplest, most obvious thing should go first.

I'm so sorry.

I can't even hope to explain what it is that happened to me, or why I acted the way I did, but I ( Read more... )

[insert some shaky, sloppy handwriting here.]

Roswell...

Was that you last night? With the bottle?

You shouldn't be apologizing. It was my fault! There's nobody to blame except me.

[A few small wet spots appear at the end of this reply? Are they ink or something else?]

yourealrightnow September 28 2009, 03:52:21 UTC

I don't think...I don't think I recognize your handwriting. Who is this? Who did I hurt?

Yeah. All of the bottles. And I think something else. Don't ask me to explain how. I can't...I don't even know.

Don't do that yourself. You were just trying to keep me from making a bigger fool of myself and you got hurt in the process. I should know better than to try and solve my problems with alcohol. I'm so, so, so sorry. Please, if you can, forgive me.

[He stops writing as he spots the drops.]

Are you crying? Please don't cry. You have nothing to feel bad about. You should be yelling at me. Are you alright? How badly are you hurt? Please tell me. I have to know.

I'll talk to boss-man for you, but I think he'll cut you some slack. You're the new guy, and we'll have to wait for you to make some money before you can get around to paying us back, at any rate.

You write too much, New Guy. You also think too much. You can't take your alcohol, you went absolutely insane and now you're better. You didn't behave so much as fall, and we've all done that at least once.

[pen taps]

That stuff what did can you

Next time I'll serve you shirley temples. Got that, new guy?

yourealrightnow September 28 2009, 05:13:46 UTC

I appreciate that. I don't deserve it, but I appreciate it.

Again, I don't deserve this kind of understanding. You're a good guy, Grift. I don't know how I keep running into people like you in this crazy place. It makes me wonder when my luck is going to run out.

What...what were you writing, there? Is there something you need to ask me? I'll do anything you need, Grift. I owe you. I'll answer whatever I can.

As long as it doesn't have any alcohol in it, I'm for it.

grinninggrifter September 28 2009, 05:33:27 UTC

Enough of the self-pity already, my friend! You collapsing in the middle of the bar didn't bug--no, I tell a lie, it did happen to bother me, but this nonsense bothers me much more. Pick yourself off the ground. You're all right now, aren't you?

Oh, it was nothing. Just thinking of a properly girly drink for you to try, and I tell you, Shirley Temples are the epitome of girly non-alcoholic drinks.

...They are tasty, though, I'll grant them that.

yourealrightnow September 28 2009, 05:55:51 UTC

Alright, yeah. I'll stop whining to you about it.

Hey, if all that's left is tasty girly drinks, I'll take some tasty girly drinks. That's better than the alternative, right?

Stay in my place as long as you need to, Roswell. As long as you like. I am in the Scavenger's Yard currently, but if you need anything I can always come home.

And don't worry about me. I only sustained a small cut on my cheek, a mere flesh wound. It will be healed in next to no time.

yourealrightnow September 28 2009, 05:19:06 UTC

That's still more than you should have had to put up with, Fred. A hundred times, I'm sorry.

I also actually went home while you were gone. I didn't feel right taking up space in your house after everything I did. If you ever need a bigger place to crash, though, you can always come up to Sector 3. I'm not sure how claustrophic or whatever you are. I know the Temporary Quarters were getting to me.

Hell, after all you've done? You're more than welcome to move in. To be honest, this place is too big and too quiet for just me. It makes my insomnia worse. It wouldn't be imposing, I promise.

At least think about it.

burntorangesky September 28 2009, 05:29:46 UTC

Don't be ridiculous. I was helping out a friend; you would have done the same for me.

I'm glad you felt well enough to make your way home, but you were more than welcome to stay there longer.

That is a very tempting offer. I don't mind living in Section One, but it isn't the roomiest of accommodations.

I shall, thank you.

yourealrightnow September 28 2009, 05:40:17 UTC

I would have, but...still. I don't know. Just, you shouldn't have had to.

The headache was mostly gone and I could see straight. I figured that was more than enough strength to take an elevator ride and go home. It worked out mostly flawlessly.

Good, let me know whenever you've decided. I'm at the [he draws a poorly-sketched map to his place in Sector 3]
