28th Hangover - Actions Have Consequences [Phone | Action]

[heartstar_blues]

[So, the fight against the Postman ended as these fights always do.

Still, long after it was over. Long after the pain has faded from memory. The Captain was still no where to be found! About a week later The Captain finally reappears. First with a phone call.]

[Phone | Unfiltered to Everyone]Hey, this is Captain

Mr. the Captain? ...are you alright?

phone;

[heartstar_blues]

[☠☠☠☠ phones, people calling him. He sounds more annoyed than anything.]

It's Captain ☠☠☠☠ now. Also, I'm fine.

[No he's not.]

phone;

[ariesapocalypse]

If you don't mind, I'll just stick to the original version. Also, being inexperienced with emotions I guess I could be wrong, but you don't seem "fine."

phone;

[heartstar_blues]

Go with whatever you want then, I don't ☠☠☠☠ care.

Unless you're trying to be my shrink, I don't really care what I seem.

phone;

[ariesapocalypse]

If that's the type of person you require, I could try.

phone;

[heartstar_blues]

No, I don't want a shrink. They're all scammers anyways, kind of like AA.

phone;

[ariesapocalypse]

AA? That was my Trollian handle, before I got here. It stood for apocalypseArisen.

( kind of realizing she's rambling, she clucks her tongue after a pause. )

Look, I think we have two options here. I can tell you something nice to distract you from whatever happened, or you could tell me what that thing was. Which will it be?

Re: phone;

[heartstar_blues]

... I mean alcoholics anonymous.

Fine, you want to know what I did? I got a 16 year old brutally murdered in a fight I knew we weren't going to ☠☠☠☠ win.

phone;

[ariesapocalypse]

Oh. That is a bit worse than I had imagined. However, given the circumstances of the environment, I hardly think you were to blame.

phone;

[heartstar_blues]

Yeah, sure, this town does terrible things. We know that.

Doesn't mean I shouldn't have known better...

phone;

[ariesapocalypse]

Probably, yes. But sometimes we can't help trying. It's not your fault.

Re: phone;

[heartstar_blues]

Yeah but I shouldn't have done it. I shouldn't even have tried.

phone;

[ariesapocalypse]

So because of that mistake, you're going to be grumpy forever?

phone;

[heartstar_blues]

[Technically, he never stopped being grumpy before that incident.]

Yeah, so what?

I just told you guys I'm working alone, you don't have to deal with it from here on out.

phone;

[ariesapocalypse]

Self-imposed exile? An interesting thought, but seldom affective, Mr. the Captain.

phone;

[heartstar_blues]

Well, why not?
