Regarding canon updates and looking for a game.

[moretolife]

I don't think it's a good idea.

If you're gonna force me, I wanna go some place where I'm not gonna be alone. I can handle it, sure, I can protect myself, that's not the issue.

I'd wanna know Dad was alright, Judith... Enid... Everyone.

All I'm askin' is that you at least think before sendin' me off some place. Think about what it'll be like for me... Would you wanna go there? Consider that before you send me off.

As for 'updatin' me' really, Are you kiddin'?

I mean, unless you're gonna change the whole medium you've mused me from... I think it's a stupid idea.

I really don't understand why muns get the great idea just to toss us in a game...

[moretolife]

It's stupid. Cruel even.

[ He's a bit frustrated presently. ]

They want to rip me from you all and just drop me off some place. Like I have no opinion at all.

[notaafraidanymore]

Mmm

[She crosses her arms slightly]

My own jun has been looking into a game. No better than what we deal with back home but it's kinda caught her interest...

[moretolife]

[ He kicks at the ground. ]

Yea? Mine can't make his mind up just yet... I don't like none of them...

[ He's curious as to where you might going now. If you'll be alright? ]

[foreveralonewanderer]

Don't tell them to think about what it's like for you, because the worse it'll be for you? The more likely they are to shove you off there.

[moretolife]

So what am I spose to do?

Just sit back and let them make decisions about my future?

I can can't allow that... Not after everythin' that's happened.

[foreveralonewanderer]

Yeah, well...sometimes your future is totally out of your hands and you can't do much about it.

[Or maybe she's just biter but she prefers to think of it as her being right.]

[moretolife]

[ Carl's future has never been his own to control. He understands where she's comming from... Doesn't mean he has to like it. ]

... There's always hope.

If you don't got that, then there really is nothin' left.

[foreveralonewanderer]

[Likewise.]

All hope does it build you up only to tear you back down. It's not like I'm saying to give up or anything, just don't get caught up on that light at the end of the tunnel. Just survive.

[moretolife]

There's more to life than just surviving...

[ Muttered more under his breath than to her. ]

I've got too much to lose. I've already lost so much... I'd just be tryin' to get away the whole time.

I wouldn't be able to forget. To stop worryin' about my people. I'd need to know they were all okay.

[foreveralonewanderer]

[There is a tiny, tiny, part of her that's a little bit jealous. All she has to worry about now is herself, her dog, and her robot.]

I guess that's the difference then. I don't really have that kind of burden.

I mean, no offense to your people...or anything.

[She's bad at conversation...]

[moretolife]

[ It's okay. Carl gets it. He's lost so many people so far too... He's scared, just doesn't want to show it. ]

None taken.

[ An after thought. ]

So you're what, out on your own? I mean, have you been forced into some place too?

[foreveralonewanderer]

Sort of. I used to live underground - it's called a Vault. The idea of leaving it was just unheard of. I'd get in trouble as a kid just asking about the outside world. [Light shrug.] Then my dad left and I kind of had no choice but to go out and find him. I'm not allowed back in the Vault.

[Adding almost immediately after:]

Anyway, what about you? You've got a big group you travel with or what?

[moretolife]

Oh yea? I've been in a place like that before. It had a shower, bed, food... Man, it was good.

[ He'll not mention the part about the suicidal scientist who was going to blow his group up though... She didn't need to know that. ]

Normally yea, Id be with my dad and our group. Been separated from them since I've been here.

We had.. Have? I dunno anymore... But we lived in a small safe town. Better than bein' out on the road.

Now it's just me.

[foreveralonewanderer]

That sucks. I mean, if you're not used to being on your own it does.

What happened with the town?

[moretolife]

People happened.

Other survivors. Just decided they wanted it. Killed a lot of people, then the dead joined in... As always

[ He looks off. Remembering the events he spoke of. ]

[foreveralonewanderer]

You know, of all the things I've encountered in the wasteland, people are always the worst.

[Well, no. The Deathclaws are probably the worst but she's trying to make a point.]

What do you mean "the dead joined in" though?

[notaafraidanymore]

I think mine is pretty set. She's a bit stresses about this whole application process. I guess she doesn't think she has the best grasp on me.

[She glances at him slightly, worried about just where he's going to]

Is the place safe?
