Somewhere nice, then? Suburbia? I can't help but think you're trying to do me a favor I don't need.

It'll be weird, that's for sure. Good, though. Just a vacation, I'm not fool enough to think it'll last. Could take some getting used to, but Alexandria was alright for me before... well.

It's always hard to transition when you go from a dangerous world to a peaceful one.

[bucket_hat]

Unsettling, yeah. Sort of like everything feels fake, like a set on a stage. Maybe I'll get used to it with practice, eh?

[bucket_hat_ftw]

I haven't yet, and it's been a few years.

I just keep waiting for the other boot to drop.

[bucket_hat]

The must be frustrating. Unless... do you want to relax? A guy I knew, he didn't want to drop his guard. Didn't want anything to do with going back to how it was.

[bucket_hat_ftw]

No...yes...I don't know.

I was made to protect my creator, and then my sister. Now they're both gone.

[bucket_hat]

Oh. That's limiting.

Guess you gotta find someone else to protect. It's what I did, and it didn't work out so bad.

[bucket_hat_ftw]

I guess so.

It's hard to imagine myself doing much else. My partner...she likes to garden but all I know how to do is fight.

[bucket_hat]

Hell, I can't stand gardening so I don't blame you much for not taking part. Weeds aren't very battle savvy.

because I can

[Roar!]

[theleader]

[Mun is screaming. Also, even though this is AMC Rick mun has read most of the comics.]

Andrea?

[bucket_hat]

[SCREAMS BACK. And I'll try not to spoil anything!]

Sure is. Didn't mean to surprise you or anything.

[theleader]

[Happy dance. Don't worry <3 I think I'm at least up to #90.

Though this is so delicate. How are you as far as TV series? Walking a Canon blending tightrope.]

Just didn't expect to see you.

[bucket_hat]

[I only watched a few episodes into season 2, but I know what happens -- haven't had time to sit down and watch it properly.]

Come on, Rick. When haven't I been your shadow? You should expect me by now.

[theleader]

[You should as soon as you have the time, I'm very pleased with how things are going.]

[He smiles.] And you've always been able to take care of yourself.

So. Your mun is thinkin' 'bout sendin' you someplace?

[bucket_hat]

[I have them all downloaded! It's just a matter of finding the time, haha.]

Oh, Christ. It's suburbia, you know? A gated community without the walkers. Which just makes me wonder what the point of the gate is in the first place.

I get twitchy in Alexandria, you know? Can't even imagine taking up the life of a... a soccer mom.

[theleader]

...If there's a fence, there must be-a reason. We had reason t'be twitchy in Alexandria, that place was a time bomb, at best.

[Hold on just a second because that gets a laugh out of him. He can't imagine you as a soccer mom either, though you did give it a good go for a bit there with Dale and the kids. Which he won't be mentioning.]

Could be worse. Mine has me stuck in a house. Jus' a house, but it's full of monsters and there is no way out.
