So you're going to keep shuffling me between New Jersey and Chicago just so you can make a joke about how Chase and Casey have never been in the same room together?

This is why I come and go on you, just so you know. Dumb jokes like this. Please just let me get back to practicing medicine and stop coming up with these cutesy ideas.

Wait.

What am I doing at a hospital in Los Angeles?

This is just so wrong. I would not be married to a cheater. And I certainly as hell wouldn't be blonde.

Don't get any ideas in your head. Nobody at this Angels Memorial would want me, and I'd like to think Connor would notice if I left Chicago. Especially after what happened yesterday.

Although marriage would be nice.

It'd be good to see the old team from Princeton again. They did put me in your head in the first place. Chase, Cameron, hell I'd even take Foreman if he wouldn't be riding me.

And House, of course. The sandbox does have his name on it. He'd probably be offended if I didn't mention him.

I'm not sure any of them would even be around, or want to put up with me now. Not with all the drama that I've been through. But maybe getting back to my roots would make my life make a little more sense.

Or maybe I'm just being sappy. You decide.

While I'm absolutely glad you brought me back again...can you please be sure you know what you're doing? Moving me to another new city is a big deal. I know you're trying to give me a clean slate in case Jack's mun returns, but's like I can't ever settle down somewhere.

And I know it's scary for you but you have to at least try to introduce me to some other people. Especially Kelly's friends. They may not want to talk to me (and trust me I'm ready for the jokes about sleeping with Severide), but you've got to make the effort. He can't be the only person I ever talk to. I want to have a life.

If you want me to come out of my shell, you've got to do it too. I think that's how this works.

He's not "other people," he's my husband. And this is his sister, my sister-in-law. Whether she's missing or she's still in recovery, either way I should be helping. This is what I do. I help people.

Can you get on this, please? It's more important than me just...actually I don't know what I'm doing right now, so that's all the more reason for me to be contributing.

OH NO

You forgot that I'm getting married this weekend?!?
privatelives: (getting nervous)
[personal profile] privatelives
Um, mun? You couldn't possibly find my fiancee, could you?

I mean, I know canonly I see him every day and we've probably done a bunch of stuff together, but we're two months away from our wedding and we haven't technically played out of it. I was looking forward to getting his opinion on stuff, and how he'd probably act like an idiot at the cake tasting, and you know all that cute little stuff he does to make me feel special.

I don't want to complain, but - I want out of here, and I really don't want to do it without him.

I can't believe it happened. I'm now officially a member of the Wharton staff. I never thought they'd keep me on, especially after they found out about before. But I'm so excited to start my permanent life here in Los Angeles - and let's not forget getting married!

But I want to do a thread where I say goodbye to Princeton and to PPTH. I know you think it's stupid since I've never really played with any other House muses. But that's the backstory you gave me, and I want to respect that. You forget that without Foreman giving me a second chance, I wouldn't have been able to get to Los Angeles in the first place.

There's Gabriel, too. He changed his whole life to come and work at the hospital, what kind of friend would I be if I just packed up and left without saying anything?

We need to write this out. It doesn't matter if no one responds to it. It's something I need to do, for me. And who knows? Maybe someone will stick their head in and I'll make new - or old - friends. Just because I'm moving doesn't mean I can't keep in touch with everyone. In fact, I probably will.
privatelives: (hey I know something)

I'm not allowed to comment on the doppleganger situation. You already insisted on introducing me to that other guy who looks exactly like my fiancee, so I obviously already know there are people who look the same out here.

And I'm not worried about me. We're not in any hurry to get married. I sort of think that's something that should take more than fifteen minutes to figure out.

I'm worried about Danielle. You made her up and then you're just sort of letting her sit there. How is the girl supposed to be happy if you don't introduce her to people? You didn't know what you were doing with me until I met Jesse and then Jack. So do something, please?

...I'm a nurse, of course I care about everyone.
privatelives: (deep in conversation)
[personal profile] privatelives
I don't even know where to start with you.

I've got so much stuff to worry about already. Like my job, and Nora trying to prove to the hospital Powers That Be that I'm not a liability, and all really want to do is go home at night to my boyfriend and sleep.

But you decide introducing Gabe is a good idea? Knowing that Jack hates Gabe? And I'd even forgive you for that except for the other thing.

Chicago Fire spoilers under here )

This is all so fucking ridiculous. I need to go buy Kelly a wedding gift.
privatelives: (deep in conversation)
[personal profile] privatelives
Yes, I'm scared. Actually, I'm terrified.

But I had to do this. It's not right, having to keep half my life a secret every day. I should own who I am, and I should be able to tell Jack that I love him without being afraid of who might hear.

I don't want to live my life in fear anymore. Not of my past, not of my ex-boyfriend, not of my boss's boss. I want to get up in the morning without a weight on my shoulders. And if that means you and I have to take some big risks, I think that it's worth it. I think Jack and his mun would appreciate it, too.

Who knows? Maybe this will go badly and I'll get suspended and everyone in the hospital will look twice at me from now on. But it could also go really well, and I could have a boyfriend I love, a job I enjoy, and a team in my life that I finally don't have to keep secrets from. That means more to me than anything.

I'm going to sit here in this corner of your head and be scared out of my mind today. But tomorrow, I'm going into Nora's office and I'm not hiding anymore, and if you can't keep up then that's your problem.

[Pause.]

By the way? The Transporter thing? Kinda cool. Maybe we'll see that guy again and I can ask him what's up with his face.

I don't want to hide it anymore. And I'm probably not going to be any good at hiding it either. Can't you just use your "dramatic license" and make it okay?

I can't believe you had me drunk text about grabbing my new boss's ass.

Yes, Dr. Gallagher has a nice ass, but I don't want to be fired before I even start a new job! That's like page one in the sexual harrassment handbook. And do you want his mun to think you're crazy? We're lucky they want to play with us in the first place.

Plus you gave Kelly more to laugh at, like he doesn't have enough.

I hope you're happy. You're terrible.

And my boobs aren't shrinking.

You watch one show about a mental hospital...and you think that's appropriate storyline material for me? For us? Me getting a job for some hotshot psychiatric director in Los Angeles?

We're not crazy. Just because I'm a recovering addict, and one...okay two of us are former drug dealers, and the other one of us might have commitment issues, that doesn't make us crazy. It makes us people who made poor life choices and are probably damaged, but not mentally insane.

I mean, sometimes Gabe and Jesse make me crazy, but I don't mean it like that!

I guess I can take comfort in the fact that absolutely no one is going to remember this short-lived TV show of yours, let alone drag out a Dr. Gallagher for you to have inflicted on me. But I'm still really offended that you think the best place for me is a mental hospital.

Hey. I need a word with you.

How about, inside of side-eying the Emma Swans and Caseys and people who look like the people I've crushed on, you get off your ass and just find me Cameron and Chase? I'm not gonna lie, the blonde is super-hot, but like that'd work.

I know you're frustrated with me and trying to find something for me to do. But the answer to that is maybe this thing called patience. You're about as bad as Andrew, who by the way if you don't let him out of here soon is probably going to start throwing another temper tantrum. I'm just saying.

I miss Rob.

I'm not all that sorry that I'm not more exciting for you. Some people out here in the RP world are just normal people. My plans this weekend involve waiting for Jesse to get home and making dinner and maybe a late-night trip to Wal-Mart.

And I'm sure my honeymoon was awesome, thank you very much. Jesse wouldn't let me have a lame honeymoon. He's protective like that. We might be a pair of recovering drug addicts, but that doesn't mean we're defective people.

So... Do you want to be the one to tell them or should I?

[ Well, I- ]

Oh, right. You're opinion of the situation isn't very reliable now considering you've lost your mind. I'll just tell them for you then.

[ Wait. I- ]

This woman is insane!

First I thought that I was the crazy one but now I am more your hallucination than you are mine. I'm not playing into anything either. It's more like I'm being played upon. Cuddy can go suck on that.

[ This is a fairly normal creative process for plenty of writers. Most of us- ]

-don't knowingly converse with their hallucinations on a regular basis. Playing some meaningless game of God over fictional characters instead of contributing to the real world in sciences or medicines. You know. Not any of your fantasies? Unless they include mini-skirts. Then I'm totally in.

[ There aren't mini-skirts. And I did go to college for dental assisting, so technically I- ]

Would you like me to prescribe you some fictional anti-psychotics? Or maybe I'll just let this play out for a while and see what happens. More evidence to back my diagnosis. Because you know that I know that we both know that I'm right and you're wrong.

[ Didn't you just take Vicodin before we had this conversation? You shouldn't- ]

What can I say? I'm a hallucination that's getting a massive headache from the hallucinatee.

The time off was nice, but it's time to get our shit together. It really is.

[This is hard for her to say. Kari nurses her beer for a moment, trying to find the right way to put this.]

I miss everybody just as much as you do. I'll probably always love Fitz, but he's not coming back for me. But I don't think he or anybody else that's gone quiet would want me to be sitting around waiting for them. I think they'd understand, same as you wouldn't want them all waiting for me.

And we are keeping people waiting, babe. I owe Chase some serious me time. Then there's everything in Chicago. Honestly to me it feels like a mess, one I created because I wanted to have my cake and eat it too. I really need to have a serious sit-down with both those boys, and tell them how I really feel. We keep getting distracted by the pretty and that has to stop.

We've got a couple hours left in the weekend. Let's get out here and at least try to get something accomplished, before everyone thinks we fell off the planet.

Would you please stop telling me not to be so nervous? That's ridiculous. I finally get a date with the love of my life - the person I probably should've been with all along - and then just when I tell him something super-important, Storm Watch 2014 hits your house and destroys the Internet. I think all of those things amount to a damn good reason to be nervous!

Not to mention that everyone I know seems to be in their own special version of hell. Cameron's gone, Matt's MIA, and the last time I heard from Shay it was to tell me things were upside-down in Chicago, plus yeah, I'm watching the President of the United States turn into what appears to be an alcoholic with an anger problem. My whole extended family here is giving me lots of reasons to be concerned.

I know you'd love it if all we played was cute, romantic stuff. And it's not like I wouldn't enjoy that. But that's not reality. The reality is the sky is falling. So I'm going to be nervous and you're going to just deal with it.

Hey. Mun.

We're going to find a Chase. Either one will pop up, or the old one will come back from the dead, or we'll just keep NPCing him. Because I'm not me without my badass Australian sidekick with better hair. We're like Starsky and Hutch.

And I know I rode your ass before, but I want to say I really like some of these directions you're trying with me. Obviously, they won't all stick, but it's a damn sight better than the bullshit about my disapproving parents you started with.

I feel like I have a life now, with a lot of great people in it. It still doesn't make a lot of sense sometimes, but IMHO sense is overrated. As long as you're happy, then I'm happy and let's just enjoy it.

Keep up the good work, sport. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got patients to see.
