Besides Jay Gatsby's Daisy, has anyone else vanished? I don't mean in death either. I mean just... 'before your eyes' poof. ~~Daryl's here longer than I would have figured if this was some Island fuckery~~

I want to keep track of the people who just evaporate, to see if this is something new the island is doing with people or if this is the end to a whole new fucked up set of island fuckery.

Sorry for all the language for people who don't like it, but there's no better way to put it. This is FUBAR, ya'll.

So you were the guy to rub elbows with?

Well, having the mutation gave me an upper hand. It allowed me to survive and take out some of the oppressors that were trying to kill me and the kids. They don't persecute me as a mutant, just someone with loose morals.

The kids get along real well. Neither one seems to fuss at all, which can both be a blessing and a curse, when they're with each other.

He's lucky he got off with what he did. If anyone else would have caught up with him, he would have probably been missing a few limbs, or a few key male parts.

I suppose so, yes. I wouldn't say that many people actually knew me. Of me, certainly, but even that was all gossip and very little substance. Nick really is the one person who knew me best- real me, not public persona me- so you understand why I would take it so personally for someone to harm him in any way.

They tried to kill you? I'm so terribly sorry. I suppose I can imagine it would have been the same in my own world, sadly. They felt strongly enough about anyone who wasn't of the Nordic races, goodness knows what they might have thought of mutation. Here? Why, everyone seems to have loose morals by my world's standards. But then, I suppose I've always been persecuted for that, as well. Screw their morals.

That's really good. It's interesting that there is a whole generation of children who will grow up here, thinking that this is- how the world is.

Ah, it was tempting, really. It took some self-control not to kill him, but it seemed more fitting to make him live in fear. Goodness, that was much crueller sounding than I intended.

Of course, and you do seem very honorable. And like most honorable men, or women, you stick by your friends.

Hah! I love that 'screw their morals'. I have to be honest that would have been the last thing I would have thought you would say. Don't ask me why, but you saying it just tickled me pink. Anyway, they tried a number of times. I kind of wish I was in the books that follow a select few of my kind around, that way I'd know if I'd live or not if did get dumped back home. But what can you do?

Yeah, that hate will be mild. Which is always nice.

Fear is good though! I personally might find it hard to fear you, but it's not anything you did or didn't do, it's more to the fact that you look like a friend of mine.

I do? Well, thank you.

Really, I think I surprised myself a little! I've just found people to be incredibly hypocritical. I have been harshly judged for bootlegging, by people who are drinking the liquor while doing their judging. Or judged for losing my temper by a man who once broke his mistress's nose. And countless other things that are in no way just my own personal experience, but the way of the world, sadly. Well, I understand what you mean, but perhaps it is better not to know. It might change the way you lived you life. You might live in constant fear about what you knew was coming, or you might live more recklessly assuming nothing could hurt you.

Oh, I wouldn't want anyone else to fear me. I wouldn't want to give anyone a reason to fear me unless they deserved it. I look like a friend of yours?

You're welcome.

You're full of surprises, Jay. Hypocrisy is so ugly. I don't understand why people enjoy using it so much. I think it would make me want to stay here more. I don't know that I would want to live my life much differently.

Yes, his name was Ira Spencer. He helped me run the cafe. I did breakfast and dinner, he did lunch. He had a smile that could light up a room. And I don't think he would want even a fly to fear him.

	Oh, well good, I would hate to be dull and predictable. I don't know, I think it just makes them feel superior when they can beat others down. No, perhaps it is a blessing that you cannot read of your future. I see. He sounds like someone I should be glad to share an appearance with. What happened? He died?

	Well, to me, they only look like jackasses. Maybe. My kid will keep me rooted to this place as much as anyone else, I suppose. He got turned into a vampire. I don't think it went well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maryanne gatz 2013-05-20 08:29 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, I'm inclined to agree with you there. That's true, yes. It certainly complicates matters. Oh, goodness. That's- well, I'm terribly sorry to hear that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jay maryanne_walker 2013-05-20 10:08 pm UTC (link)
	It does, but it also keeps me from doing stupid stuff. I miss him. He's part of the reason I can't go in there anymore. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Into the restaurant? Yes, I can imagine. I don't think he would want you to avoid the place, especially if cooking is something that gives you pleasure. Perhaps with time, it will get easier. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jay maryanne_walker 2013-05-20 10:24 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. But Daryl, and Bruce and... I start having a panic attack when I stand in front of the window for too long. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maryanne gatz 2013-05-21 01:19 pm UTC (link)
	I'm so sorry to hear that. I know how it is to be haunted by the past. But I'm sure that you have some pleasant memories of the place as well? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jay maryanne_walker 2013-05-21 09:23 pm UTC (link)
	They're all pleasant. That's kind of the problem. That's why I cook at Mitchell's part time. So I'm not bombarded with... ghosts. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maryanne gatz 2013-05-21 09:25 pm UTC (link)
	I understand. I'm sorry. I hope that you can find peace with the past, some day. Until then, I'm glad that you have a place to cook without the pain. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jay maryanne_walker 2013-05-21 09:56 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, and it's fun there. I don't feel like I have to cook. Only when someone absolutely wants something. And then I generally resort to bribery. Hobbit hugs, big puppy eyes, and flirts will get anyone one of my island famous burgers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maryanne gatz 2013-05-21 10:16 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, yes! I forgot. I'm meant to ask really nicely if you'll make me a cheeseburger sometime, because I've never had one! I can do puppy eyes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jay maryanne_walker 2013-05-21 11:42 pm UTC (link)
	Oh sure, sugar! If you come into Mitchell's and give me those sweet puppy eyes, I wont be able to resist one bit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
