Look, it's not that I have a problem with the idea. I don't. I should be with Abby. But...the fact is, you don't have a computer right now. You can't put me in there yet. So why keep talking about it? Be patient, okay? I really want to go be with my sister too, but it will happen in time.

What? What do you mean I'll need a life outside of my sister? I've never needed that before.

Comments

I was already in her journal so clearly I had to.

[handswillwork]

Of course you don't! You have the garage and you have me to drag you out of the garage. I think that's a pretty awesome life, personally.

My mun says yours is not allowed to stress out about this, and that it will happen eventually, and we can all wait till it's less inconvenient. And so do I.

clearly xD

[onlywaytolive]

It's the best life, Abs. And hey, maybe I'll be starting my own garage up when I get around to being around.

Yours should know mine stresses easily.

I just want to be there. I mean, I know I am technically, but I'm not. And I don't Luke to think about the four months your were gone...I pro ably didn't take that well.

[handswillwork]

Well, it's about time, Gabriel. You've missed the boat on being a child prodigy, there goes a whole line of advertising.

And that's why they're forbidding it, for whatever good it will do.

I know. It sucks, and I don't like thinking about it either. Any of it, but... especially that part. But it's not forever, right? We'll be okay.

[onlywaytolive]

I wasn't a child prodigy? Are you sure?

We're always okay, because in the end it's always us, right?

[sugarpink]

They're not very good at the whole 'patience' thing, if there's anything I've learned from being trapped inside this one's head.

[handswillwork]

Not one with his own garage to sell on the premise of being one.

Always. Nothing's gonna change that.

[onlywaytolive]

So I'll find another selling point. Free air-fresheners, or sex. Sex sells, right?

Nope. Unless Del follows me. Then he might always be around.

[onlywaytolive]

No they aren't. How do you manage?

[sugarpink]

Lots of alcohol! [ A beat. ] I'm kidding. Maybe.

[handswillwork]

So I hear, anyway. I'm not doubting that you will, I'm just saying.

That's not change, that's just... addition. ... Wait, Del out of New York for extended amounts of time? That I would pay to see.

[onlywaytolive]

I don't know, i've never needed selling points before.

It would be a shock wouldn't it? But say he comes to visit and finds a ward. He'd be stuck with us! And Zip would eventually have to come visit.

[onlywaytolive]

A drinker?

[handswillwork]

Yeah, well, when it's your garage, you have to think about these kinds of things. Or... hire someone to think about these kinds of things. ... I wonder if anyone in the family is good at marketing.

Ooh, he would. Both of them would. It'd be kind of nice having more of the family around.

[onlywaytolive]

Spring would probably be pretty good at it. I'm sure we've got other smart business minds too.

Yeah, we don't see them nearly enough anymore. Please tell my mun she can't move our entire family to Chicago.

[misfitted]

Yeah, I'm usually more impatient than my mun is so I don't ever have this problem. I have the opposite problem.

So is the Abby person you're talking about your sister?

[onlywaytolive]

I guess I'm more patient because even though I'm hiding in the shadows, I'm still there with her. If we were seperated I'd be....really impatient. [Read: a complete and total mess]

Yep! She's my twin. Or...I'm hers. Do you know her?

[misfitted]

Yeah, that makes sense. If you're still getting basically what you want, it's easier to be patient about it.

No, not really, but I live in Chicago too. I... ended up there after my sister did so I get the whole wanting to be where your sister is thing.

[onlywaytolive]

You're a Wanderer? It's kind of nice that you have each other. I mean...not that youythere, but....Chicago isn't so bad.

Sisters are like that, aren't they? Abby wanted to move to Chicago three years ago, so I came with. We've never lived apart.

[handswillwork]

We can ask around at the next big meet-up, see if anyone has some ideas. Kitty could do posters. It might keep her in Chicago for a while. I miss her.

I don't think Chicago can hold our entire family, without moving out a lot of people. So no. Some of them, on the other hand....

Since you asked. <3

[findawaytogrow]

I kind of thought you'd be more worked up about this than she would. Considering the part where you really don't have a life outside your sister.

...She might be right about that one.

[Hello, pot. Meet kettle.]

yay!

[onlywaytolive]

I would be more worked up about it if we were actually apart. Like if I was waiting in New York to go to Chicago.

What about you? Do you have a life outside of your brother? And no, Til doesn't count.

[onlywaytolive]

I miss Kitty, too. But....I'd rather her be off doing her thing than us be stuck in brokenverse. If she does drop in Chicago, we should definitely make her stay awhile.

Don't get them started, Abby.

[findawaytogrow]

Ah, that makes sense.

I have work, I have the girls. I even have friends with different last names. Not many, true, but some.

[handswillwork]

... I don't even want to think about that, yeah. Better to have her off on her own. But we should visit for Christmas, if she doesn't come by before then.

What? I'm just saying, it'd be nice to have a presence in Chicago.

[misfitted]

Yeah, I am. I've been in Chicago for over a year. It's a lot better than where I'm from.

They are. Elena was the only family I had left. We were the only family we had left so I wouldn't have wanted her to be there or anywhere without me.
