[There is fumbling on the phone line for a few seconds and a bit of hesitant breathing, as if the speaker isn't sure whether or not he should say what he's about to say. When he finally gets the words out, though, they are spoken firmly, with confidence.]

I believe him.

I'm not sure whether to believe him or not, but I'd hate to miss an opportunity if this happens to be the real deal.

[Though he's kind of bummed, as he can't find his own ballot anywhere. Little does he know he already filled it out.]

Mind if I come over now?

I don't really think he has the power to help us escape entirely, but I think he'll try to do something.

If you're free now, please do. . . . Are you feeling better, by the way?

[Filter] bluecapboy January 3 2011, 18:54:18 UTC

We'll see what happens soon enough I suppose.

Right then, I'll be right over. [A pause.] And um, yes, I'm feeling much better now.

. . . Good.

You, um. Well, alcohol's a poison, so. I guess if you drink too much again, I can . . . try to help?

What is it, Lucas? I can be over right now if you want.

[Filter] a_gentle_boy January 3 2011, 04:52:22 UTC

It's actually something I should've shown to someone earlier. Um. It's not urgent, but . . . come whenever you can.

"I'll be over in a few minutes, then."

[Kay hangs up the phone, and in about 20 minutes or so, she's knocking at Lucas' door.]

[Filter] a_gentle_boy January 4 2011, 01:07:42 UTC

[And the door is opened to a softly smiling Lucas who gestures his friend in.]

Hi, Kay. Come on in. . . . I'll take your coat for you.

[This certainly hits home. He wishes he could be optimistic like this. But, he will pass on remarking in it, for now.]

I'm free whenever you need me, Lucas.

[filter] a_gentle_boy January 3 2011, 04:54:18 UTC

[If Lucas knew, he would feel pretty bad.]

Well. If you'd like to come over now, you can feel free. . . . I should apologize beforehand, Crowe. You've been through a lot lately.

[filter] perfektsymmetry January 3 2011, 05:07:33 UTC

It's not a problem. I'll be over then in a few minutes.

[Knock knock, right on schedule.]

a_gentle_boy January 3 2011, 05:14:41 UTC

[And Lucas opens the door to greet Crowe with a soft smile.]

Please come in. Can I get you something to drink or anything . . . ?

.....

When one has been damaged constantly, for an extended period of time, that fear becomes part of their psyche. There are those who grew up being indoctrinated into this fear, our ability to trust being seen as a burden.

However... that fear may very well be our greatest weakness.

a_gentle_boy January 3 2011, 05:15:39 UTC

I understand what you mean. It's too much to expect that people would be able to trust after what we've been through. And I wouldn't be very surprised if I was wrong, either.

But I want to take the chance.

has_a_name January 3 2011, 05:32:05 UTC

... I doubt that we will actually be sent home, but a chance is a chance, isn't it...?

a_gentle_boy January 4 2011, 01:11:57 UTC

I don't honestly believe anything worse than what happened this last week can come out of voting. They could surprise me, but . . .

has_a_name January 4 2011, 03:32:34 UTC

... we'll find out soon enough... hopefully with a favorable conclusion...

a_gentle_boy January 6 2011, 01:28:10 UTC

. . .

I know it's silly, but at the very least, I'm expecting the post to give us something back after all of this.
