a text | un: fivestar ..... possibly at like 1am

[coolerjunpei]

how about instead of going to the moon we say "going through a phase"?

[Hey, what's up.]

text; un: theEND

[winddaughter]

[Who sleeps normally anyway.]

That's

That's really great!!

[She's actually incredibly impressed right now.]

Rhys came up with "Heading up to Darma's" which I also like, but yours is perfect.

[coolerjunpei]

[She's going for it?? Holy shit.]

wait, really?
that's what i thought! going through a phase it is!

i don't know who rhys is but give them my apollo-gies for the loss.

[winddaughter]

Yes, really! I'll try and spread it around.

He's really weird but I guess he's okay. He really likes it if you call him old. Likes to think of himself as experienced and all that.

[definitely 100% a fact]

[coolerjunpei]

yeah, do that.
it'll catch on.

and let me guess: kind of full of himself, but it's just annoying?
i know the type.

[There's no way at all she could be embellishing... actually,]

hang on, you told him about the code words before we had good ones?

[winddaughter]

Exactly the type!

[She only picks on people if she actually likes them. Oh well.]

I was looking for ideas because I couldn't think of anything.

And he likes making himself useful.

[coolerjunpei]

apparently not useful enough.
that's too smug for a code word, huh? even a really good one.

but really, heading up to darma's? what is she, our crotchety old aunt?

[winddaughter]

[Well he hasn't really proved super useful yet...

But she has some form of hope that he'll improve. He's at least good for a laugh. That matters a lot in her book.]

I think it should be a song. It sounds like it should be a song title, doesn't it? [Says the girl who barely knows any music.]

[coolerjunpei]

a crappy alien christmas song, maybe.
my friend's a musician, but he probably won't go for it. still, i can ask.

[winddaughter]

[She doesn't ask "what's Christmas" because that would only prove further how messed up her life was and she doesn't need to deal with that.]

Oh, can you? I don't know, maybe Darma would like to have a song about her. Just, you know. In spirit. Not actually... saying anything about what or who she is.

I'm not sure what that would leave. I'm not a musician.

[coolerjunpei]

you know, i don't think he actually writes lyrics? so uh that's fine.

it'll be like she has her own soundtrack. i don't know anything about music either.

[winddaughter]

I guess we could always play it on the Station if we got worried about "risky" lyrics.

...Have you gone back up?

[coolerjunpei]

do you sing? because i definitely don't sing.

[Give him... a minute or so to formulate a good enough reply to that question, though. It's a simple answer, but for stupid, complex reasons - he doesn't want to, the thought of going back up there makes him cold to the very core, just like all the people up there and all the things he's purposely pushing away right now—]

what for?

[winddaughter]

Only when I'm alone.

[It's okay there's an equally long (if not more) pause from her.]

To make sure the people up there are actually okay. To make sure we're not being lied to.

[coolerjunpei]

we're not being lied to. uh, i have a feeling.

[Which means essentially nothing, but he's been through enough of these kidnapped/rescued for a higher purpose scenarios that it's easier just to believe. And the alternative, if the people up there aren't okay... or aren't there at all, somehow - it's too much.]

they can't keep us busy down here if someone finds out about foul play up there. those people have to be okay. they have to be.

1/2

[winddaughter]

I think you trust too easily, Junpei.

2/2

[winddaughter]

I might go up. In the morning.

[coolerjunpei]

[Okay, right in the naive idealism he pretends he doesn't still have in spades, ouch!! He has... nothing to say in his own defense, she's right.

Give him another minute. Frankly: goddamn it.]

want some company? at least for the trip.

[winddaughter]

[Optimism wasn't a trait she got from... anyone.]

I wouldn't be opposed.

[coolerjunpei]

[He needs a kick in the ass every now and then and that's as good as any; but it's probably weird to say thanks for pointing out my character flaw, so uh.

Anyway.]

i'm not going to follow you around up there so don't worry about that.
just... you know.

how the hell do we go back up, anyway?

[winddaughter]

...We can go through a phase.

[Heh.]

It'd be alright

if you did

[jeez Anemone don't be weird]

I think you just... think on it really really hard? I don't want to try and then do it by mistake though.

[coolerjunpei]

ha ha.
and
look, you're probably going to want [he is sighing irl] space, right? at least to start.

[It won't be weird to stare at people in cold storage with an audience at all. Nope.]

i guess we'll have to find out tomorrow.

[winddaughter]

[sure it'll be fine she'll just go in to see the pods she wants and just never come back out, perfectly okay :)]

uh, yeah

[smooth]

I'm sure other people have had trouble trying to do it. Or looked weird trying.

[she's assuming other people have gone back. she can't be the only one that has the need to??]

[coolerjunpei]

[gurl that's 3 bad coping methods away from sleeping fully clothed in the shower because you're too drunk to move

don't do it]

i... guess? if it's just thinking hard about it, that's not bad.

[winddaughter]

[It's a better coping mechanism than most of her normal ones though so that should count for something right]

I'll see you in the morning

[ish]
