1.1.01.01.034: open returns.

[needshumility]

[Eddie has his stiff, formal tone on.]

It seems Tommy has left. I don't know if it's permanent or not, but all evidence points to permanent.

[pause pause]

We should make sure people aren't forgotten here. Somehow.

[pause, pause. He sounds like he going to say something else, then just... doesn't.]

[worstsongever]

Maybe we should start a massive scrapbooking project.

[needshumility]

I sort of...

I have half of an idea. But I need to discuss it with some people.

[worstsongever]

Well what's the idea?

[needshumility]

I... I need to talk to my inmate and someone else before I share it around. Technical reasons, mostly.

[19centconstable]

But what can we do beyond think of people fondly?

Because if you're suggesting we all get tattoos, I'm afraid I'm going to have to decline.

[needshumility]

I do have a vague idea, but I'd rather check it over with Victor first. He's got very specific views about this sort of thing.

But not... what is a tattoo?

private

[19centconstable]

Oh?

It's a sort of permanent picture they carve into your skin.

Re: private

[needshumility]

Yes. It's a little like something they do at home, but before I tell people, I want to... see what he thinks. It might offend him.

Do they... burn it?

[naughtbutlife]

Tommy....as in Tommy D, Tommy?

Oh.

[needshumility]

Yes, him.

I...

[Private]

I hate this.

It happens more than people have probably told you. He'll have just gone home, but... but still.

private

[naughtbutlife]

Do they truly just leave without a word?

Do they leave by their own freewill?

Re: private

[needshumility]

Sometimes, yes.

And we don't know. I don't... I don't think so.

It's quite awful, really.

Private

[thebestnose]

You alright, Red?

Re: Private

[needshumility]

Not really.

He was so much like us in some ways. Not explicitly, but... he just felt a little closer to home. Which was awful in sense, but made him easier to talk to than some of the Previous.

Re: Private

[thebestnose]

What do you want me to do? What...can I do?

Re: Private

[needshumility]

I don't... I don't really know.

I think I'm just going to make ovaltine and go to bed. Hopefully this'll be better tomorrow.

[majorum_pride]

...I was hoping he would get his deal.

[And that's Rhade's way of saying that he's sad about it.]

[needshumility]

I was hoping for a lot of things.

I didn't even know what his deal was.

[majorum_pride]

I don't, either. I just wanted him to have a chance to have something he wanted.

[needshumility]

Isn't that... a bit short sighted? To not know what he wanted but hope he got it anyway?
