Who: anyone!
Broadcast: why not!
Action: sure!
When: Whenever!

[ what are you up to, flooters? passing the time playing cribbage? watching Die Hard with a Vengeance, or maybe trying to repair friendships and perceptions of people that were dashed by invasive dreamscapes?

This is a mingle, so enjoy! ]

[takeabow]

Okay. If you say so.

[ starts rubbing her neck again ]

[reconstitution]

[ A frown. ]

Are you okay?

[takeabow]

Just... stuff coming back, like I said.

[reconstitution]

I guess that makes sense.

[takeabow]

Yeah. Not great things, like I said.

It's a long story but I was rescued from... a bad situation, but we had to leave my friend behind.

[reconstitution]

I'm sorry.. it must have been hard.

[ If she needs someone to listen, Winter is a very pliant ear. ]

[takeabow]

They were supposed to choose him. Save him, instead of me. He's better than I am.

[reconstitution]

They must have thought you were important.

[takeabow]

I don't care.

[reconstitution]

They don't think about what you want most of the time. Or how you feel.

[takeabow]

No, they really don't. But I don't have to do what they want.

[reconstitution]

You're right, you don't.

[takeabow]

[ wiping her cheeks a bit ]

Anyway. Sorry. It's just... a lot.

[reconstitution]

It is a lot. You shouldn't have to go through it.

[ Not alone, at the very least. ]

[takeabow]

Maybe not, but I did. It doesn't mean I have to make everyone else miserable.

[reconstitution]

I don't think it's you who is making people miserable..

[takeabow]

[ shrugs. she's clearly self-conscious about all the angst ]

[reconstitution]

It's easier to think that.

[takeabow]

It's just kind of a mood killer.

[reconstitution]

You're allowed to feel things.

[takeabow]

I'll write that down.

[ dryly ]

[reconstitution]

If you'd like.

[takeabow]

Joke.

[reconstitution]

Right, sorry.

[takeabow]

It was bad.
