Needing a Purpose [Right before Daniel disappears]
(NOTE: This post is made right before Daniel disappears. I will be posting a thread where he gets his crab bite, and he is going to get lost and not be home when he claims he will be. Anyone who cares is welcome to feel worried after a day has passed.)
Hello again. Your friendly neighborhood linguist/archeologist/explorer here. How is everybody doing this week? And if you're from my team, please respond immediately. Sam? Come on, Sam, you've been able to figure this sort of thing out before...
[muttering] Why am I the only one from my whole universe who ended up here?
You know, I hate this. Usually when I'm get in situations like this, I'm able to do something. There's some ruins to investigate, or a hidden archive of knowledge, or a species who's language I need to try and master so that we can communicate. Here...I don't feel all that useful. There's no place I need to be. No real direction to look in for an answer to our problem.
Ironically, I'm also not used to getting into these situations on Earth. There's irony for you.
...You know I'm getting lonely when I've started missing Vala. This is ridiculous.
So, I'm going on a walk. A loooong walk. I don't know where. Maybe I'll be a daredevil and go over by Central Park. Maybe there's something out there that I'm missing. Or maybe I'll just happen upon a library that hasn't been destroyed and hole myself up with some ancient texts. Anything to keep busy at this point. Too much is happening, and yet not enough is going on. I need to...keep moving. I can't sit still.
So yeah. I'll be back...sometime. Probably in the next few days. I'll post to let you guys know when I'm back. Take care everybody.
Oh, and happy Valentine's Day.
