[Sam's currently taking the time to heal after certain people we shall not name shot him in the arm; it's all good, it's all good. Pop some pain meds, keep the arm from getting worked too hard, it's going great. But now that he can't go do some work down on the moon, he's a bit more restless. Maybe he should tell Katie about his arm, have her work a little magic mojo...? Or should he just. Not tell the small child that someone shot him in the arm. Anyway.
He takes some time to voice some internal stuff. It was mostly spawned by Nightingale, and he can't help but speak up; it's utterly bizarre, he thinks, that he does that now. Speak up. He's still shitty at it, like, 60% of the time, but every percent counts. He compares it to the guy who was dying in a chapel not so long ago, and really, the amount of worth he's found in himself compared to then is staggering when he thinks about it.
Things change. He feels like he's been changing at a vicious pace for the last eleven years. But is that so surprising? Considering the friggin' circumstances, he supposes it only makes sense.]
Someone here asked me how to think positive.
More than that, how to be positive about yourself. And honestly? That's a work in progress. Don't get me wrong, you're talking to a hypocrite if I go... chiding you on healthy outlooks. But you know, someone from another world gave me a task, back when I was low — I mean, really low. She said... Even if it's only once a week, once a month, you should stop and remind yourself of something positive — about yourself. Some good thing you do, or some skill you have. Something that makes you you. Strengths. Foundations for others to work off of. Or hey, maybe you just like the way your nose looks.
If's kind of important, isn't it? Feeling like you're worth something in some way. I'd argue it's kind of a survival technique, right? Believing in your capabilities, they kind of help you get through rough situations. Help you be a better person, or contribute in a way that makes you feel like an important puzzle piece.
[He sweeps his hands though the air, palm-up, simply gestures that come with conversation. One arm is less lively than the other.]
And yeah, I can already hear some of you, telling me to pipe down on the armchair psychology, can it with the talk show advice. Kind of sappy, right? But I mean — hear me out, huh? Humor me.
What's something you guys like about yourselves?
...

And if you give some creepy, flippant, or otherwise wise-ass reply for some chuckles, we get it. You like how edgy you are.

You met him? So he wasn't imaginary?
no subject
Imaginary friends in my world are actually a special race who help kids in need of it. I saw him last when I was nine, and then met him again just recently; he needed my help with something.
[He chuckles, looking down like he's embarrassed. Maybe he is, at the thought that he totally thought Sully was from his head. Awkward kid stuff.]
He pretty much never changed from what I remember.

[Her eyes get big with eager interest.]
That's so cool! I wish we got spirits like that in my world.

[Said with all the confidence in the world as she brings her hand to her heart:]
I ain’t seen ‘em but I know they’re there. And reapers… I guess they don’t truck with people like me so much. [She grins.] I’m too much trouble.
But fairies! I’d love to meet some fairies!
no subject
Reapers don't like to bother with me too much, either.
Most of them aren't so bad, though. I mean, for what they do. It's good that people have someone who can help lead them into the afterlife.

Sometimes we can all use a little guidance.
