On looking for a CRAU game for him

[justamobster]

Lemme guess. You want me t'remember what happened on the station 'cuz you wanna torment me with it.

I got you figured out by now, you loopy dame. And fuck you. Things didn't work out-- they never do. Don't need you rubbin' my face in it.

I'd love to see her 'gain. Or Jin, or Cathy, or any of 'em. But that ain't gonna happen. So at least let me forget. Don't ask for much, but you can at least gimme that kinda mercy, yeah?

She wants to take you somewhere with your memories, knowing we won't be there?

[justamobster]

Yeah. She's a sadistic piece of work sometimes.

[ranfromnormal]

No kidding. It's bad enough being separated from the people you know back home, but to do it with the people you met while stuck out around here?

[GLARING AT ALL OF YOU.]

[justamobster]

She's also hopin' to find a place with someone who looks like Toby. Because just rememberin' ain't bad 'nough, gotta be reminded on a regular basis.

[ranfromnormal]

That bitch.

[She's really mad now, on Ladon's behalf.]

Any chance you can breath fire on her and escape or something?

[justamobster]

It don't really work that way, doll. Though sometimes I wish.

[ranfromnormal]

Going to have to play hardball with her then. Get her to give an inch and then take a mile. That's how it goes, right?

[justamobster]

Problem is, she can just make my life back home even worse. Don't get me wrong, glad the bad shit ain't fallin' on someone like Conrit, but y'learn not t'put anythin' past muns who got a say-so 'bout your life in and out of games.

[ranfromnormal]

Yeah well mine knows better than to mess with me and mine.

[HMPH.

She gives Ladon a look, and then in all of her anger realizes that she hasn't seen him since Toby left and he ran off.

Have a hug, Ladon, she's missed you lots.]

You're in trouble with me too. Left without giving me a chance to say good bye, and then you...you left the station.

[justamobster]

[ He's relieved by the hug, because it gives him something else to concentrate on... and because he hasn't had one in a while. He gives her a good squeeze back. ]

Sorry, doll. I was hurtin' pretty damn bad back then. S'no excuse, but that's what was goin' on in my head.

[ranfromnormal]

Nothing to apologize for. I know you were I just...you didn't have to go through it alone.

[She eases back but reaches for his hand to give it a squeeze.]

[justamobster]

I wanted to. Go through it alone. Was worried I'd hurt someone if I stuck 'round. [ He looks away, frowning, though he holds on to her hand just the same. ] My kind ain't so good with lettin' go.
