Considering apping... (Canon is Bioshock)

[make_me_a_star]

Oh, no, no, you're really not considering that.

[A sigh.]

You've already got two characters there. And believe me, they're not enjoying it. I wouldn't enjoy it either. And no, you can't convince me that I'd meet nice people there. Nice people doesn't negate torture.

Oh, I'm so sorry. How long has it been since you saw her?

[paper_knight]

Tricky question.

But I've been here two years, now. Working on a third. [This with an accompanying wave at the vast, vague expanses of headspace.]

She was six years old when I lost her.

[make_me_a_star]

I'm so sorry. I can't even imagine. I don't have children, but...

[paper_knight]

It's all right. She's out there, I know it. And as long as there's a chance, I'm out here too. To answer your question.

[make_me_a_star]

I know you'll find her.

[She looks genuinely emotional about the whole situation.]

aaw. AW.

[paper_knight]

[He gives her a weary sort of smile.]

Thanks.
It's nice to hear that from someone else, every now and then.

I'm absolutely convinced of it. And, hopefully, convinced that I will find a decent game to go to.

[paper_knight]

Of course you will.

[He pauses. He wouldn't wish Wonderland on anyone, but sane adults are so few and far between.]

If...your mun changes her mind, I'd certainly be glad to see you.

[make_me_a_star]

I'll keep that in mind. I... it would be nice to go somewhere where a gentleman like you was.
