...[What good's this gonna do? But either way, he listens. Hey, his parents taught him right.]

...'S real nice, man. Good, uh, sentiment, anyway.

accusedjonah May 28 2011, 07:06:52 UTC

I... It... Sometimes, it helps.

I-- I thought it...

[Confidence? He lacks it.]

justalildrink May 28 2011, 07:08:50 UTC

Hey. Don't you worry. Y'know, you gotta take what you can here, to be happy and all, right? With the fog and all, especially. So people should at least... y'know. Like the sentiment. Even if it's not so much their thing. Right?

accusedjonah May 28 2011, 07:14:54 UTC

[He might have actually chuckled. But it's weak. And... perhaps not reassuring, considering what comes next.]

To be happy... yes...

justalildrink May 28 2011, 07:22:32 UTC

...Hey, you all right? [He sounds genuinely concerned; before, he just wanted the man to be a little more self-assured, but now he's actually worried something might be up.]

accusedjonah May 28 2011, 07:24:39 UTC

It... It's nothing.

justalildrink May 29 2011, 05:34:29 UTC

You sure? I mean. You're talkin' a lot about finding some kinda faith or hope or something, but you don't really sound like you've got it yourself.

accusedjonah May 29 2011, 18:36:46 UTC

Do... Do you... Do you know the story of-- of Jonah?

justalildrink May 30 2011, 11:17:34 UTC

Uh... There's a whale in it, right?

accusedjonah May 30 2011, 16:27:53 UTC

It does.

I-- It's nothing.

justalildrink May 31 2011, 08:42:23 UTC

Why'd you bring it up?

accusedjonah May 31 2011, 16:54:13 UTC

It's...

I used to... to be part of a ship's crew. There... M-most crews believe that... that when many things... go wrong... it's... because of a J-Jonah. S-some--someone who has... offended God. And is... the cause o-of their misfortune.

The-- The ship I was on... th-there... there were so, so many things...

justalildrink May 31 2011, 20:59:44 UTC

...So, what, they blamed you? You can't... really be at fault, y'know. 'S just not how things are. You're not Jonah from the Bible, y'know, you're just, uh, you're just some guy. No offense.

accusedjonah May 31 2011, 21:02:37 UTC

N-not-- Not specifically that Jonah. But... a Jonah. B-bad luck. A... a curse on them.

It-- These things... They-- they always happened... when I was on watch.

E-every-- everyone was sure. Even my captain.

justalildrink May 31 2011, 21:08:04 UTC

Seriously?

What a bunch of nobodies. You take this kinda thing seriously? It's just a name, man. It's not a curse. No such thing as curses.

accusedjonah May 31 2011, 21:10:12 UTC

I... doubt that, sir. Seeing... what I saw.

I do hope... their fortunes improved, though.
