The darkness the other day made it kind of difficult to do anything about replacing everything the earthquake broke. It was a busy week of not-so-natural disasters... the rain was a mere inconvenience, but the earthquake was a rude reminder of how unpleasant this place can be. Aside from having a lot of cleaning to do, and a lot of dishes to buy, everything's fine over here... and by and large, considering the fact that we had an earthquake, most of the people coming in to the hospital weren't too badly hurt.
I guess it could have been a problem if you're afraid of the dark... terror of the unknown, and all that. I never have been... not even when I was little.
Besides. We've had things like that before-- fog, a while back. That arena showed up the next day, though I haven't seen anything new now. Curses are curses; the bright side is, no matter how awful they are, they never last.

Somehow I'm not surprised she'd win a drag race. Sounds in character.

Are you...upset with me?

[cold_dry_pieces]

It was-- actually, it was a little scary.

[Private]

What, about the needing-space thing?

It was scary?

[Private]

Well if that's what comes to mind first...but that or anything. You never get me presents anymore. Things were good for a while, but sometimes I think you're disappointed in me. I also think I'm cursed because I really didn't mean to say that, but I can't risk talking to anyone else right now, so...

YAY HONESTY CURSES |D

I assume you've seen her drive.

I was a little irked that you'd want to get away from me, but... no, I'm not upset. Generally you'd know if I were upset, little brother, because chances are Debra would be dead.

...shit, I didn't mean to-- I'm not going to do anything, it's just, that's what I tried to do last time and... I'm... cursed, too, if you couldn't tell.

I hate your Code and everything it stands for, but that doesn't mean I'm disappointed in you. I wish people didn't come back when you disposed of them. It's hard to have any fun.

I'm starting to lose patience.

It's good for them, they just don't think so

Good point.

Not far away or permanently. I'm so used to living on my own, even with the ticking I think I'd prefer it. But you're not the one who drinks the milk straight from the carton. I'd be okay with Deb moving out and you staying if there were possible.

I hate it when I feel like you're holding that over my head. If I could have anything it would be to not have to choose. If only she could go home.

Part of me wishes you held to the same Code but you wouldn't be half so interesting then.

What bothers me is that so many people here are more powerful than I am. I'm used to feeling like the biggest baddest thing around. There are some that fit the Code, but even if they weren't going to just come back--damn. It is really hard to stop typing right now.

She used to spend more time in her apartment, I think she got in the habit of staying here when it was just the two of us, and never went back.

I try not to, I wouldn't have said that. It just... slipped out. At least if she's here I don't have to worry about her going home and then coming back, having experienced... everything that's yet to come. There's no good solution to this problem.

I understand, I do.
