So.. let me see if I understand this.

You watch everything that happens to me, then after-- y'know, you decide to make me an account? So you can send me to one of those horrible games? Don't try to sugarcoat it; I hear the other muses you have talking around here. Look, murders and death and.. being trapped and scared? None of that counts for interesting, mun. Maybe you should get your head checked or something. I mean, if you were looking into an actual decent place with some of my friends, maybe I'd consider it better than the Island, but the places you're checking out..



No.  Nu uh, no way, sorry not happening.

...Jack?

[howlermonkeys]

I'm sorry?

[thisisgoingtosuck]

[Excuse Sully, he is just going to stare in shock at you for a moment. It has been a long time dude, seriously long time. He already remembers how hard it hit when Shea and Madison told him Danny gave his life to let them escape.

This motivates Sully to send them off the island, yet he stays, god how does he do this. One so much excitement at seeing Danny, it is blowing his mind. But, Henry, everything about Henry, Danny wouldn't know yet, would he? Oh screw it.]

Danny! Man, you've no idea how good it is to see you're ugly mug.

[howlermonkeys]

[ He can't help but smile; it's Sully. He hadn't seen Sully since-- before he died. And at the thought, his smile slowly falls. How much did Sully know? How much would anyone know about what happened to him? Shea and Madison-- it's a scary thought.

But he'll force a smile a few seconds after his original one falls flat. This one's tighter. ]

Sully! C'mon, man, you know someone has to look out for you. And if it has to be me.. [ There's so much he wants to say, so much he's worried about, but he'll just hold his hands up in a defensive manner. Keeping it light seemed best for now. When was the last time they could actually do that? ]

[thisisgoingtosuck]

[He sees it, Sully almost wants to ask, okay he really wants to ask but he had walked this line with Abby before, considering she knew nothing and he was afraid of making a mistake and hurting one of his friends.

He had failed them enough.]

Hey, I can recall saving your ass a time or two...[That does not cover the countless others Danny saved his but hey! Finally though his resolve breaks and Sully moves forward, one arm around Danny's neck he hugs his friend tight. He is not going to cry, he swears his eyes are just watering.]

I never thought I'd see any of you again,

[howlermonkeys]

[ That actually makes Danny chuckle. Saving each other's asses.. it was routine. It was something they began subconsciously doing every day on the island. It was something he had someone like Sully there to do for him. He wasn't so sure he'd trust anyone as much as him. He doubted he could. ]

And I saved yours, what? Three? Four? Eighty?

[ But the hug somehow catches him off guard and he freezes up. The simplicity of the embrace makes all the pain real. All the suffering.

All the loss.

He purses his lips and gives Sully a rough pat on the back, biting back tears he knows are there. ]

I'm dead, man.

[thisisgoingtosuck]

More than that man, more than that.

[He swallows hard, there go the tears, he sniffs and wipes at them hard to stop them. But they remain. His voice is strained when he does finally speak.]

I know, Shea and Madison, they made it, you saved them man, I got 'em off the island.

[Did he tell him more, did he tell him about Henry, about his own fate.]

[howlermonkeys]

Eighty-one?

[ His voice is strained, and he feels a tear slip down his cheek. Dry humor.

But when Sully tells him about Shea and Madison, relief flashes across his features. Even as he wipes at his eyes with his arm almost viciously. ]

They're okay? They.. they made it back, right? You're sure nothing happened to them? [ It feels strangely worth it now. ]

[thisisgoingtosuck]

Sounds about right.

[Trying so hard to actually sound like he's joking.Sully reaches up and pulls at the bottom of his nose, allergies, so many allergies right now, it is not a fake to stop him from sniffing.]

I got them on a boat and off the island before they could get to them.


[Shit! Damn his mouth, just damn his mouth right to hell.]

[howlermonkeys]

[ Danny's eyes are glazed with the tears that have yet to fall, but he looks relieved when Sully finishes his sentence. He's smiling, feeling the worth of his sacrifice.

But his happiness is quickly replaced by confusion. ]

-- they?

[thisisgoingtosuck]

[Sully looks down at his hands, his voice is strained, full of pain as he speaks.]

It was Henry man, all along, he's Wakefield's kid, brought us all there, to kill us.

[gonnabite]

Sounds like a good time.

[howlermonkeys]

Sounds like you needa get your head checked out, too.

[gonnabite]

It'd be a hell of a more interesting version of Survivor, by the sounds of it.

[howlermonkeys]

Yeah, well it wasn't.

[gonnabite]

So what is it?

[howlermonkeys]

Real.

[gonnabite]

Besides that.
