Look, I know it's strange and it's just going to sound strange when I re-iterate it, but we're just dead. On a more metaphysical level, if you will. [He's looking around with curiosity.] It'll stop once we actually leave, but just about every culture has some vision of a place like this, and the living don't go there. So...we've just sort of

[Just this face. Then she looks away in disgust.]

Go pawn one of your jewels and buy it at a grocer.

[mightymorbid]

What?

[can_has_vodka]

You heard me. You get it at the bloody grocer. [Her voice is hard and flat and a little slurry.]

[mightymorbid]

Or you can tell me what it is you think I did so I can pretend to apologize and get on with my existence.

[can_has_vodka]

You've been a colossal ass since the moment you posted. Trying to explain to you how won't stop you, so why bother?

[mightymorbid]

I didn't do anyth --

No. Forget it. When you feel like making sense, I'll likely be headed back to the ship.

[can_has_vodka]

[mightymorbid]

There's no failure to communicate. He's being an ass and apparently it's up to me to finally call him on it. [she sounds a little drunk.]

I've been stripped of half of myself. I'm psychically blind for the first time in my life. Everything is flat and silent and lonely. Add to this the fact that we were forced into this realm by Rex and I know I'm not the only unhappy person around here. It's not right to discount what we're going through. And deliberately being nasty to me on top of that is too much. I need a break from him.

[der_umgekehrte]

Are you sure he's.

I don't think he means it quite that way. I'm not happy either. But we're all dealing with it in our ways. Possible he didn't mean to discount anyone. Just to put his own context to things. You know him better. But you sound-

[As bad as he's ever seen her, even that night in Paris]

Where are you?
