Phase 11

Kinda weird how fast you get used to being in a place like this.

Guess time just flies right by, huh. How long's everyone else been here?

It didn't really hit how long it's been until recently. It's a good thing time doesn't pass back home the way it does here. I still have business to take care of.

How many months has it been for you now anyway?

[makesitpossible.livejournal.com]

...no kidding. Can't miss the next few hours back home.

Bit over two months. Came here end of July. When the psycho was running around.

[seasonofsamurai.livejournal.com]

Does that have anything to do with Rau le Creuset by any chance?

Seriously? Some welcome that had to have been.

[makesitpossible.livejournal.com]

It was an interesting week, I'll put it that way.

...yeah. He's part of it.

[seasonofsamurai.livejournal.com]

About as interesting as running for you life can be, anyway.

Is he unfinished business as well?

[makesitpossible.livejournal.com]

Running and then camping out for a few days making sure no one steps over an invisible line in the grass? Yeah. Interesting week.

He is. Have it on good authority that business gets finished, though.

[seasonofsamurai.livejournal.com]

Right. I've dealt with my share of whack-jobs, but that week's not something I want to go through again for a while. It's too optimistic to wish for a "never" on that sort of thing here.

Someone you knew back home's here and further down the timeline, I take it?

[makesitpossible.livejournal.com]

Eh. No point in worrying about it, is there?

...yeah. Figures that this place'd grab me from right before the battle that ends the damn war.

[seasonofsamurai.livejournal.com]

Not to paranoid extremes anyway. It's a good idea to stay on your toes just in case.

A war? You told me you were a pilot. You never said anything about a war. I had no idea you were in shit that deep.

[makesitpossible.livejournal.com]

Pilot and a soldier. Means sometimes I get into a sticky situation or two.

Like a war. A damn bloody war.

[seasonofsamurai.livejournal.com]

That kind of comes with the package, doesn't it? You know, having to defend your country.

[makesitpossible.livejournal.com]

...bit more complicated than that this time around, but yeah. We'll go with that.

[seasonofsamurai.livejournal.com]

Fair enough. All of that's far from here for it to matter right now.

[makesitpossible.livejournal.com]

No kidding.

And hey. My friends make it through okay. Can't complain much about that, huh?

[seasonofsamurai.livejournal.com]

I doubt your friends would appreciate it if you did.

[makesitpossible.livejournal.com]

I could see 'em getting ticked with me.

[seasonofsamurai.livejournal.com]

That's putting it lightly, wouldn't you say?

[makesitpossible.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty good at putting things lightly.

[seasonofsamurai.livejournal.com]

That's fine as long as you're not doing it with things that matter.

[makesitpossible.livejournal.com]

Sometimes you've gotta lighten the mood.
