0thingsonmymind: (What once was)
From: [personal profile] 0thingsonmymind
*Its been a hectic day, so he doesn't get to messages until after lockdown..and then he nearly drops his tablet when he sees the response. Beckett was back? That was--well, not really great but it was good for him. His fellow seeker was back!

But...with him like this...did they really have that connection anymore? Should he wait until things are back to normal before responding?

No. He can't do that. Instead he switches on the video and sends a response.

His hood is still up (cause its cold) but his mask is off. He doesn't look so great under it. His face is rather gaunt and terribly pale (lack of proper nutrition or sunlight for years will do that). His hair is messy and clearly cut by himself with no style other than to keep it short. He has a similarly scruffy and patchy start of a beard that's only barely beyond its five-o'clock-shadow phase but already obviously uneven.
His eyes are rather hollow and haunted, but he smiles anyway. Its awkward and out of practice, but its a real smile.

His voice is still hoarse though. Getting your sanity back doesn't ease years of speaking as little as possible.*

Beckett! I thought I'd never...I mean...fuck, I don't know what I mean. I just...

*Short pause for a coughing fit.*

...uh. Hi?

*He thinks the few friends he has here deserve something, some sign of trust, after everything. He probably won't be happy about it after things go back to normal, but he at least shouldn't regret showing these three.*

Not sure if its good or bad luck, though. Heh.


All of--well, as much as I could then. There are a lot of holes that I usually don't worry about. Unless you mean before everything, then...not all that much.

I, ah, I don't know if you heard but I...I died. So this...


*He kinds gestures to himself.*

this is just temporary.

*That he's recognize? ...Oh.*

It was like...some sort of gross mockery of the Operator. I guess that's sort of how monsters here work.

*The thing that got Jade had looked like something from her world, at least.*

...yeah, I'm not really sure what to make about it or...do or...anything.

*He sighs.*

But it'll all go away in a few days so it doesn't matter.

*He's accepting of this, though not really happy. Its just how things will end up and there's no changing it.*

I...I don't know. Right now its just really confusing. I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about it.

Yeah, I still remember. And I remember how deaths here work.

*Which means after a few days he'll be back to normal and none of his issues about this will matter.*

*He doesn't really know how he feels about it. Its all so confusing and makes figuring out if he wants to be like this or not too much for him. He knows he wouldn't normally, but now he understands that he only thinks that because he gave up...however long ago it was. But it wasn't like he could try to be like this normally--he was right when he said it was too complicated.
But in the end it didn't matter. Norfinbury or the @admin or who/what ever controlled the death loses here would take this away. He knows when it happens he'll be grateful but now...
...now he just resigns himself to it. Its depressing, in a way, but also somewhat freeing. Nothing he does these next few days really matters much.*

Yeah. This won't last too long.

*He still sounds kinda depressed about it, though.*

Its not strong enough for that.

*He's still cerain of that. He's still positive the Operator is all-powerful.*

But it doesn't really make waiting any easier.

I don't know...I hadn't really had time to think about it yet. Right now I'm just trying to get steady.

I appreciate it, but I don't think so. I think its something only I can sort out.

*He shrugs.*

*He mumbles something that sounds like 'I'm alone anyway' before properly replying.*

I'll keep that in mind. Thanks.
