Homeless... Forever and ever.. (Canon is Stephen King's The Stand.)

We're back to that again?
I know...y'don't think anyone else's face will do for me. I'm not complainin' 'bout this one. I don't understand why y'have t'keep bringin' that up. [Mun is distraught at the idea of anyone but Gary playing Stu.] Y'should just calm down and see how things go.

While we're talkin'... I still don't think y'need t'worry about me.

[A pause. He's typically a man of few words unless he has something important to say.]

Do us both a favor and don't send me anywhere.

[He gives a look.] I'm not goin' if Franny isn't there. No if ands or but 'bout it. We have enough problems without you throwin' me in some shithole worse than back home without my Fran. It's bad enough I ran off t'go to Vegas [We both know how that went.]

So please, if you care 'bout me at all.. Don't do it.

But the potential for adventure~

That doesn't interest you~?

I've had enough adventure for a while.

Mmmm~ I can understand that. What if you were to look at more like a vacation, though~?

That could be fun~

[He scrubs a hand over his face.]

I s'pose it could be but... Last 'vacation' I took didn't go so well.

Well, then~! Clearly a new one is in order, hmm~?

Could be, s'pose I'll have t'just wait and see how it goes.

She got one of them places in mind for ya?

At the moment? No. But somethin' tells me she's lookin'. [That something would be the shiny paid account.]

Well, at least there's that. If you can keep her eyes from strayin' all over these lists of places, you got a damn good chance of not actually being put in one.

Works wonders til they get too curious, I reckon.

One can only hope.

You could always threaten her if she goes too far. Doesn't seem to do much of anything you want, but it's cathartic enough.

Well, from what I understand she'll need information from me. I don't have t'give it to her.

I don't think that's a big concern of theirs, considering most of what we got hidden is...pretty laid bare, all things considered.

It's the interpretations that'll snag 'em.

[He pinches the bridge of his nose.]

I can only hope that she gets busy with some of th'others and maybe I get pushed into th'background for a bit.

[Don't pinch it off now.]

She got lots of others?

[He will if he wants to. After all the shit he's been through the last thing he needs is to be sent to a new place with new people who know nothing about what he's been through. The cherry on top would be Fran not being there. Stu lets out a slow sigh.]

Fortunately she does.

[No one has had it as bad as those poor fucks overtaken by poop aliens, man. But go on and pinch your nose off to spite your face, Jack doesn't give a shit in the end.]

That's more like it. Maybe someone else is a lot more...shiny.

No offense intended, you seem like a real swell guy.

[Or the one's that have dealt with Zombies, he has a couple of them rattling around up here with him, along with a few demons and a poor Welsh Bastard that died from an alien fart. Among others.. it's a regular party.]

With some luck. [Though his luck has been for shit latel-- well, that's not true he's been fairly lucky if he's being honest.]

Thanks...

[Oh gosh, don't get Jack started on the crazy fuckers running around with him. There's even a guy who looks exactly like him and apparently runs around a nuthouse.]

Yeah, no problem.

[That...must be awkward.]

What about you? Yours plannin' on se--you know what? Don't answer that I don't want t'give her ideas.

[JUST A BIT]

Nah, man, it's cool. She's pretty hard to motivate in the first place. For me? She don't think there's any game that I'd be a good "fit" in, so I'm pretty much safe.

That's a blessin'. Me? I'm pretty much screwed 'cause should she get the idea. I could almost go anywhere. Problem is I doubt she'll find a place where Fran would be. That'll be a problem.

Then maybe you ain't got much to worry about if there's no Frans around.

I hope your right. Be wrong t'send a man off somewhere and expect him t'make due if he doesn't have his girl with him.

Hardly any of them do. Best get used to it, I'm afraid.

Great. That's the last thing I need is someone else tellin' me what t'do with my life.

It could be worse.

I could be Randall Flagg.

*goddamnit Nyarly.*

...

...

What? Just a joke.

I don't even like the guy.

*pettiness in his scope, mostly. No better than humans. Power? Please.*

Not a very funny one if y'ask me.

Good thing, Randall Flagg doesn't like anyone, but Randall Flagg.

[His only real power is fear. And that isn't really power, it's the illusion of it.]

Yes, I've noticed that.

*not a very convincing effort to be thought of as one of Nyarly's masks.*

That's alright, he'll get his sooner or later. With some luck it'll be sooner.

[Sorry, Hoss, you're not winning any brownie points with him.]

*considering this Nyarly is the embodiment of humanity's negative emotions, brownie points don't really apply...*

The same might be said for humanity as a whole.

[Touche.]

Where I'm from humanity 'got theirs' already.

LIEUTENANT DAN, YOU GOT NEW LEGS!

Oh my GAWD So much laughter.. Snorting laughter..

I couldn't help it. I love Gary Sinise far too much.

I do too.. He was so PERFECT for this part OMG

I HAVEN'T READ IT but it is Stephen King and Gary so Jack had to play :D

Oh MY GOD.. YOU NEED TO READ IT.. HELL I EVEN HAVE A PDF VERSION IF YOU WANT IT.

I have a reading list out the ass (including the Shining) to go through first!

I do too.. Next on mine is the entire Dark Tower Series and the new books.

I actually bumped up the Shining to next on my list a-ha

I LOVE King.. Seriously... he is my favorite.

I am getting into him, slowly but surely.

I've been a fan since I read The Stand when I was like 12.. almost 20 years now I've loved him.

That's a whole lot of love!

It really is. I think I own a copy of just about every book he has.

Do you have Storm of the Century's manuscript? :o

Yes, I do..

Is it amazing?

Yes... Yes it is.. I think somewhere is storage I have Silver Bullet too.
