	Sure I have. What were the houses you drew? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	wolfishane 2010-05-30 03:44 pm UTC (link)
	~~...? oh, the houses~~ Places I lived. I wanted to see how many I could remember. What happened to Billy? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	His momma didn't want him kissin on a girl with no family to speak of. I didn't move round. Just had the one home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She didn't know what she was talking about. The first few years I don't think I stayed anywhere longer than a few months. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_sanguine300 2010-05-30 03:59 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, she did, sugar. Poor Billy'd be all wound up in the Family if she let him kiss on me instead of on Mary Ellie. Why don't anyone realize that system's broke? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wolfishane 2010-05-30 04:15 pm UTC (link)
	Because people like to pretend all parents are good ones, and that everything works out like Annie for orphans. Fixing the system would mean acknowledging that kids suffer in it, and no one likes thinking about that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_sanguine300 2010-05-30 04:18 pm UTC (link)
	But then nothin ever changes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wolfishane 2010-05-30 04:18 pm UTC (link)
	Then someone who already knows what it's like should try to fix it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_sanguine300 2010-05-30 04:23 pm UTC (link)
	Shane, you know the system well as I do. It's all papers and waitin and nothin ever gets done without a million judges agreein on things. There ain't a bit of money in fixin it so no one cares. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wolfishane 2010-05-30 04:26 pm UTC (link)
	Then someone should make them. Or at least try to make things better for the kids that are stuck with it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_sanguine300 2010-05-30 04:29 pm UTC (link)
	How? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wolfishane 2010-05-30 04:33 pm UTC (link)
	At the bare minimum? Get them someone they can talk to, someone who's not going to brush off the things that bother them or just yank them out of that home and send them off to another one just as bad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_sanguine300 2010-05-30 04:39 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, sugar, who? There's so many of em. How do you even decide who gets help and who don't? It ain't as easy as setting up a hotline, is it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wolfishane 2010-05-30 04:42 pm UTC (link)
	Of course not. Nobody can be everywhere. You focus on the kids that are close. ~~this is starting to sound like less and less of a good idea~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_sanguine300 2010-05-30 04:43 pm UTC (link)
	[...] Maybe we do set up a hotline, sugar. And just see if anyone calls? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wolfishane 2010-05-30 04:45 pm UTC (link)
	[...] Maybe. I think they would. And they wouldn't have to leave, for that, if the family they're with wouldn't want to let them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We can put up fliers in the schools? We'd have to sneak to do it, but we could. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wolfishane 2010-05-30 09:21 pm UTC (link)
	That could work. All we'd have to do is arrange to get the phone number reconnected. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_sanguine300 2010-05-30 09:27 pm UTC (link)
	What phone number? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wolfishane 2010-05-30 11:38 pm UTC (link)
	Mine. As long as it's redirected, why not? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_sanguine300 2010-05-31 01:07 am UTC (link)
	We gotta think this through more than that, darlin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wolfishane 2010-05-31 01:10 am UTC (link)
	Why does it need to be more complex? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Cause messin with kids like that ain't legal for one, and going against the system ain't legal either. We gotta cover our tracks on this.

How is it you're alive again?

Untraceable cellphone, darlin, with a signal they can't triangulate. That's for starters. Something that ain't ever been used before and they can't pull up a history for a find calls to your dentist or my psychiatrist.

	I'm aware of that. You're right, cell phone's better. I'll find something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Luck. Being more together than I am at the moment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think all the credit goes to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wolfishane 2010-05-31 02:27 am UTC (link)
	And because of you. I thought that was a given. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_sanguine300 2010-05-31 05:48 am UTC (link)
	Because of me we're all messed up, you mean. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wolfishane 2010-05-31 05:59 am UTC (link)
	No, I don't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's the truth, honey. I paid the Family. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wolfishane 2010-05-31 06:06 am UTC (link)
	It's really not. Good. Are they satisfied? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_sanguine300 2010-05-31 06:07 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, they are. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wolfishane 2010-05-31 03:16 pm UTC (link)
	~~Finally~~ What did you tell them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_sanguine300 2010-05-31 03:46 pm UTC (link)
	I didn't say much. Mikey came by and we worked it out. He's still hopin to run everythin one day, and he's soft on me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wolfishane 2010-05-31 03:48 pm UTC (link)
	Did you cut ties with them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_sanguine300 2010-05-31 03:51 pm UTC (link)
	They ain't payin the apartment anymore, and I ain't workin for them. It's a start. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wolfishane 2010-05-31 03:55 pm UTC (link)
	Where are you working? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_sanguine300 2010-05-31 03:56 pm UTC (link)
	Nowhere yet. I'm paid through June, so I got a few weeks before I start panicking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wolfishane 2010-05-31 04:00 pm UTC (link)
	You don't have to panic. You'll find something. I'll help. ~~you could move in~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_sanguine300 2010-05-31 04:05 pm UTC (link)
	Don't ya know that I'm real resourceful? Plus, my apartment's plenty small, since the one next door's bigger than most on this floor. It's gonna cost less that the others here, bein a studio and all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wolfishane 2010-05-31 04:08 pm UTC (link)
	I know you are. ~~doesn't stop me from worrying what might happen if you run out of money~~ But if you can't find anything, tell me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_sanguine300 2010-05-31 04:11 pm UTC (link)
	I ain't gonna throw my problems on you, sugar. The coffee shop round here is hiring. I might go there come tomorrow. If ya wanna walk me, ya can. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wolfishane 2010-05-31 04:12 pm UTC (link)
	I'll walk you. (Reply to this) (Parent)
