Trying to cut down on castmates, apping to new games, and lastvoyages

[lastmanstanding]

...You keep...coming to this. Do you remember how Simone was?

You're seriously deluding yourself. Just work something out or maybe try and ask people to do things instead of just..

chasing this utterly deluded..fantasy.

...Yeah I'd like to see Eric again. Or Rigg. [choked up? Yep.] Allison too but it's pretty obvious they're not talking to anybody or talking to anybody yet. It's not going to be changing anytime soon either.

Seriously, you're starting to hurt me. Just keep playing with the obnoxious kid and the guy with the bow and arrows. I'll slide to third.

Then just get me my deal. So I can get out of here.

Problems in purgatory, mate? [Doubtful, but he's trying that whole 'talk to me'...thing.]

[lastmanstanding]

[Hoffman stares at him.] Everything about purgatory implies there would be problems.

[vfranklinmott]

[Shrugs.] 'Course. It's never entirely easy. That's half the fun.

[lastmanstanding]

You know what?

No. It's not fun. I'm not having fun. I don't know how to reach my fucking inmate, I don't know what I want to do-I talk to no one. The easiest thing I could see would be taking up drinking again.

It's not fucking fun I just want to get my sister and go home. If I go home without her?

I have nothing and no one. [And he just, curls in on himself]

[vfranklinmott]

[...Ouch. Unexpected feelings. What do. Pretense at joking falls and he becomes serious; respectful, even.]

Drinking would only add to your problems. If you know the damage it could do, and continue anyway, after you've made so much progress?

[Small wave. Your alcoholism is your own. He's not the best at helping others cope with addictions.]

I'll not lecture you any further beyond that. Now, to your inmate, perhaps request a transfer. You seem to me like the sort who'd consider that a failure. Maybe. Maybe that's part of your problem, I don't know. What I do know is that it couldn't help talking to other people, other wardens, maybe.

[lastmanstanding]

[Hoffman just glares at him.] I don't want to leave Seth. He's a good guy. A lot of what he's done that makes him who he is was for family. I...I can understand that.

[Snort] gonna find the inmate to warden translation tough my friend.

[vfranklinmott]

I never said you had to. It was just a thought. If you can relate to him, on some level, especially one as important as that? Then at least its a start, yeah?

[Sighs, sits back.]

Here I am, giving advice, like I actually know what the fuck I'm talking about. Honestly, how can I possibly help someone when I'm still dealing with my own shit?

[lastmanstanding]

...what are you talking about? You thinking about going back?

[vfranklinmott]

Yeah. Minus the 'thinking about it' part.

[lastmanstanding]

I'm sure you'll do fine. Honestly...you can't help what you are man. It's your nature.

[Hoffman and his soft spot for vampires]

[vfranklinmott]

[He smiles at that. Really, you're too nice, Hoffman.]

That's not entirely what I meant, but thank you for saying so.

[lastmanstanding]

[His eyes close.]

...See? I'm a nice guy.

[So why aren't people nice to him? He's nice, but petulant. :[ ]

[vfranklinmott]

You won't hear different from me, mate. Far as I'm concerned, the more tolerant wardens we have on board, the better.

[Guess who he's not looking forward to seeing? Hint: starts with 'B' ends with 'Slayer'.]

[lastmanstanding]

...I just..

[He puts his head in his hands] I just don't know if I can keep doing it.

[vfranklinmott]

[Reaches over, taps at the back of his hand.]

None of that now. You're feeling down, lost, I get that. But if your deal is worth it, you'll keep going. You got to.

[lastmanstanding]

[He shakes his head]

...I'm drinking again.

[vfranklinmott]

[Just a look. Not judging, mildly curious.]

You think it's helping?

[lastmanstanding]

...Yes?

...No.

I just. [He closes his eyes] ...I'm just..lonely.

[voyeured]

That's what they do.

Pick you up, throw you around like a rag doll, then drop you and forget about you until who the hell knows how long. But don't feel so lonely, you're not the only one they do this too. Plenty of others have been treated the same, well, with the exception of a few favorites they have constantly hanging around.

Well, look who's missed me. Fuck you very much too.

[lastmanstanding]

[Hoffman just looks mildly amused] My writer's missed you too can you believe that?

I personally was hoping for one of my coworkers. [translation: he misses you too man.]

[voyeured]

I should be surprised, but I'm not. [Liar. You are surprised. Admit it. Even the mun is.]

You know, it's hilarious. She's honestly expecting to find more of us on here. As if that's going to change her mind about putting me somewhere. Hey, I like where I am right now. I don't need to be subject to another one of those horrible games you've put me through. [Let alone the one Jigsaw tested him with.]

[lastmanstanding]

[He glares] Games I put you through? ...I just looked the other way.

...Does she have any ideas? Amanda is everywhere. Everyone fucking loves Amanda Young. [bitter why no] But others.

[voyeured]

My mun. Writer. Whatever they're calling themselves. But sure. You. Jigsaw, whoever the hell else wants to be thrown in that list.

I'm being told no, but her mind is changing more than my last girlfriend's attire, so who knows.

[lastmanstanding]

There's "Rapture"

[voyeured]

Don't tempt her! She's thought about it, already has one of her 'favorites' in there. I'm tired of being trapped, and I don't need to be in Atlantis.
