I blame Plurk for this.

Has anyone ever told you how easy it is to make you do stupid things?

One conversation you're hardly even participating in and you got struck with this dumbass urge to drag me back out. What the hell are you even gonna do, drop me into some of those stupid memes? I was enjoying my break perfectly fine, thanks, so why don't you just go back to focusing on those other kids and that obsolete mess you call your job?

I mean, really.

You don't have the time for me, and I really don't have the patience for you right now.

I'm in no position to argue over impressions or the matter of whether that was called for or not, seeing what foolishness [in retrospect] I committed, but...

Isn't this rather harsh?

[fonewearl]

Has yours gone and repeatedly stuck you in humiliating or potentially life-threatening situations on a frighteningly regular basis just to see how you'd react? That dork calls me 'Murphy's chew-toy' for a reason, and I'm willing to bet all the Meseta I've got that if he keeps me around again, he's just going to do all the same crap.

[Not that she has much on her as it is, but that isn't entirely the point.]

He's only begun with me...but the closest thing he's done is force me to relive things I would rather leave in the past. [Like her search for the fragments. And, you know, being a host to the Profound Darkness lurking within each one. That too.]

Does that count?

[...And suddenly the urge to take back the accusation that this Newman was being harsh built in her throat. Well then.]

[Although it's for some very different reasons, the past is a rather touchy subject for Mirys as well, thanks to just how quickly her life had, for lack of a better way of putting it, gone straight to hell.

Having nearly everyone you know turn against you for reasons you don't even know is most definitely not a pleasant experience.]

Yeah, I'd say so. Hopefully he doesn't go making a habit of it, like a certain somebody else here.

According to others that I've had the pleasure of being...ah, what was that word... 'spacemates' with-- [Was that the word they used? It still baffled her that people could just make these things up on the fly and have adequate meanings for them...] --that might be a lost cause...

[Still, they're gonna have to walk into a meta bar at some point and share stories, aren't they? Or at least have an actual encounter somewhere, provided she can even be sent anywhere given her side of the canon's status...]

It happens.

[She eyes the FOmar a bit cautiously. She doesn't recognize him―there are very few people here that she would―but his looking like he's from somewhere around the same part of the timeline as her has her wary.]

More often than I'd like.

[His own glance at her is only mildly curious.]

The mundane act as they like, and are easy prey to nostalgia. It's unfortunate.

If you do end up anywhere, I hope it's with more thorough consideration than it apparently was to throw you here.
