Homeless, Canon is "Gone: By Michael Grant"

[paidinbeer]

...I thought we were done here.

He'll be happier without me. He's not happy now but he will be...probably. I'd just get in the way.

He doesn't need me and neither do you.

Please go away.

Orc?

Hey, man, what're you talking about?

[paidinbeer]

Nothing...don't worry about it.

How are you?

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

Yeah, 'don't worry about it' totally works on me. You've met me, right? The one who worries about everything?

Alive. I think. You?

[paidinbeer]

You worry too much. It's unhealthy.

I'm alive...I think.

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

Dude. You shouldn't lecture me about health.

Where are you? Maybe it's somewhere I can come get you.

[paidinbeer]

Wouldn't have to if you were healthy.

Some place...it's like lord of the rings or something. Swords...knights. Weird people. This little guy...he's like a kung-fu guy.

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

I'm fine, Orc. You're not actually worried about me, are you?

...Weird. We got some big Mordor eye staring at us, but...

Orc, you didn't die, did you?

[paidinbeer]

mmf, how would I know? I'm not in hell so...probably not?

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

Well, I'm not in hell either, and I know for sure I died.

[paidinbeer]

You're not a murderer. And lotsa people liked you.

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

So what? I'm not in heaven either, and let's not pretend I'm a saint or nothing.

[paidinbeer]

Some things are forgivable. Some things aren't.

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

Dude. Orc. You been repenting enough.

Tell me where you are so I can come get you.

[paidinbeer]

Can't. Mun says I gotta take a journey.

Sounds like alotta walking.

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

Oh.

Don't go.

[paidinbeer]

You don't need me.

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

Maybe. But even if I don't, I want you around. You're my best friend.

[paidinbeer]

We can't always get what we want. Usually never.

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

Yeah, but right now you're willfully denying me.

[paidinbeer]

No. Just telling you how it's gotta be. I don't have a choice.

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

Bullshit.

[paidinbeer]

Getting mad won't change his mind.

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

Doesn't mean I can't try. You're not even trying.

[paidinbeer]

What the point of trying if you know it's not gonna work?

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

You don't know that, you just always think that.

I'm not supposed to be the positive one, you know. This is weird for me.

[paidinbeer]

Have YOU ever convinced your mun not to do something bad to you?

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

...okay, good point.

But come on, man, at least tell me where you are so I can find you. I miss you.

[paidinbeer]

...

Mun says you can watch but no meddling.

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

That's not even fair. Who's going to take care of you?

[paidinbeer]

I dunno...

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

I'll find a way to come get you. Promise.

[paidinbeer]

Don't get hurt.

[iselldrugstothecommunity]

You neither.
