Lucky me, I get to be the bonus shot.

[christ_onabike]

There's a special place in there just for you. Obviously.

[intofireforever]

I'd congratulate you on a year, but I'm not sure if that's something you'd want to hear. I know I wouldn't.

[christ_onabike]

I think if I were still an inmate, then yeah, I wouldn't wanna hear it.

Even now, I'm not sure what the hell to make of it.

[intofireforever]

Beats me. I just actively try not to keep track of how long I've been here; I don't really want to know. It makes everything easier.

[christ_onabike]

I don't fucking blame you.

I just noticed in passing, y'know. It's a weird thing to think about. I ain't gonna spend long wondering about it.

[intofireforever]

Like I did with my birthday.

[christ_onabike]

Your birthday? Now, when was that?

...I was fourteen on my birthday. That was fucking weird.

[intofireforever]

July 22. It was during the summer camp flood.

I still don't feel like I can really call myself 18.

[christ_onabike]

Ah, right. I wondered why the fuck this was the first I'd heard about it.

Unfortunately, I went home and made the 50 official. But... I figure, if you've had a year's extra life experience, then you're a year older, y'know.

[intofireforever]

I don't want to go home.

[christ_onabike]

I don't blame you.

But you ain't stuck with that.

[intofireforever]

I shouldn't have said 'home'; that's not where I'd be going. I should have said 'back', because even if I graduate, the Lodge will have me again as soon as I leave.

[christ_onabike]

C'mon, Laura. You'll have more fucking choice than that in the matter.

[intofireforever]

That seat has been saved for me for a long, long time.

[christ_onabike]

Don't mean you have to turn up and take it.
