[broadcast mind] only in it for the smoke of the gun

Sep 17, 2011 20:46

There's a girl, there's always a girl in your mind and on your lap, but this is your last, win or lose. She means nothing to you and maybe that's why it's so easy to tug her close, her hips rocking against yours as that soldier drives on ( Read more... )

[Silence for a long while. A tip of her head; a sigh.]

Always a war.

[video] bedsidemanners September 18 2011, 21:07:20 UTC

This wasn't exactly--

It was more like a coup.

[video] halcyonthird September 18 2011, 22:04:22 UTC

Sometimes it is the best option.

[video] bedsidemanners September 18 2011, 22:11:42 UTC

And sometimes it's disastrous. I don't even know how things turned out.

[video] halcyonthird September 18 2011, 23:33:38 UTC

Often, disaster comes either way. Better to go out fighting than to regret. Or to believe rather than question.

Would that change things? If you knew?

[video] bedsidemanners September 18 2011, 23:55:32 UTC

I'm not so certain.

Sure. I could know I stood a chance of going back to something.

[video] halcyonthird September 19 2011, 00:19:00 UTC

I am certain now.

You may still find out. Both kinds of answers sometimes find their way here.

[video] bedsidemanners September 19 2011, 01:33:54 UTC

And what makes you feel that way?

I hope I do, Miss-- I don't think I got your name. I'd surely have remembered it. [And a grin.] I'm Raphael.

[video] halcyonthird September 19 2011, 23:27:56 UTC

I found answers. To things I wanted to to know, and things I did not.

You didn't. My name is Irene.

[video] bedsidemanners September 20 2011, 02:41:05 UTC

You went back home, or were you told by other people from your world?

That's a lovely name. I'm Raphael.

[video] halcyonthird September 21 2011, 01:23:52 UTC

Many from my world came through the Door, one being my executioner. There's something to be said about finding out the truth of what you'd only suspected.

Then the war came here, Raphael.

[The slightest pause and a fix of gaze.]

Her name was Rafaela, the warrior that took my head.

[video] bedsidemanners September 21 2011, 02:04:40 UTC

I hope you don't hold my name against me. I do more healing than fighting. [He tries for a light tone, but doesn't quite seem to manage it.]

So there would be nothing for you if you returned.

[video] halcyonthird September 25 2011, 01:59:04 UTC

I do not.

I suppose I could run. [Again.] Who's to say I would even remember this place? Or such meetings. The outcome would likely not change, and I've had my fill of hiding.

So besides death? Nothing at all.
