lost - entry #3

[winterobsession]

I appear to have...gotten lost??
Crackbaby: THIS SUCKS!

And all these people...It's...
Crackbaby: FREAKING ME OUT! @~@
a little overwhelming...

-sighs-

My apologies, Demyx, Lexaeus, and Miss Namine.
I may be some time...

[heroic_silence]

There is no need to apologize. I shall remain where I have been until you arrive.

[winterobsession]

Yes...well.
All the same...It shouldn't be much more of a wait...
I may have found my way..Or...*a sigh*

[heroic_silence]

'Or...'? Am I to understand that you are still lost?

It did not seem that difficult a journey...

[winterobsession]

Yes, well...so it would seem.
Perhaps not to one accustumed to travel...I haven't left my lab in...oh, about 4 years. I should just go back -_-;

[heroic_silence]

Did you not simply take the train? There are several that would have easily transversed the distance from Macalania to Twilight Town.

[winterobsession]

I...did not take the train.
Although I am -quite- aware of their existance, thank you.

[heroic_silence]

It was not meant as an affront to your intelligence, merely curiosity. Had you taken the train, you might not find yourself in your current predicament.

I assume you had your reasons for declining public transportation?

[winterobsession]

I'm...I'm aware of that, as well.

Yes. I have my reasons...don't we all? I do not...do well...around people.

[heroic_silence]

Hmm. And this social phobia outweighed the disadvantage of becoming lost?

[winterobsession]

...Yes. Yes it did.
I don't care how ridiculous it sounds either.
I've never felt safe around people.

[heroic_silence]

I see. Curious.

People can be treacherous beings.

[winterobsession]

...Curious?...What do you mean?

I agree. Completely.
Do they...put you off as well?

[heroic_silence]

That you would sacrifice efficiency and productivity in order to avoid personal encounters.

Not entirely, no. I am merely stating a truth.

[winterobsession]

Ah...I see. I suppose that -would- be curious...to anyone who doesn't understand it.

Hm. Alright then.
*sighs* And here I'd almost hoped to have found someone who understand the affliction.

[heroic_silence]

More the fact that, as a scientist, I would have assumed you to value such traits. But perhaps not at the risk of personal discomfort.

Affliction? You make it sound as though people are a disease.

[winterobsession]

I...I do! Dammit, I do. But not enough to put myself...that many people....ugh.

No...not people themselves. But not being to be around them? I've been called sick before.
