	You want talk therapy too, huh? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No, but I'll listen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Pause.] What makes you think I need to talk? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ou were about to take a gun to McKendrick's door, Main. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm still doing that. Don't worry. I'll use a silencer. [Another sip of her beer.] This is all a blast from the past. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I liked my future before. Though it was getting complicated. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[The bedsprings creak as she flops back.] What was complicated about it?

I can't say mine was so hot. I ruined another relationship, and I really liked the guy. I hated that school, no matter how much I tried to like it. I miss my kid more the older she gets. I burned bridges with my brother, and I don't even know how or why. But, on the bright side, I fixed things with my kid sister, and my best friend's in town now.

	I like how you balance things out. It appeals to my sense of organization. [...] Well, my ex-girlfriend came into town, I get the sense that neither of us are sure whether or not to be pleased. [He stops, as if there is more, then decides and moves on.] And I got attached to this... reporter. But now that I'm dead, I guess it doesn't matter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you have to make me sound so boring, HQ? What did you just leave out? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Comm: HQ/Main orphically 2014-01-20 08:40 am UTC (link)
	I actually didn't mean it that way. [Shrug, purely mental.] He's a photographer. Half the time I want to see him, and the other half the time he gives me cold chills with the 'record everything' impulse. He literally twitches. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Comm: HQ/Main anything1 2014-01-20 04:08 pm UTC (link)
	That's because you think organization is hot, Rawlings, everyone else would think it was boring. So, take his camera away. Problem solved. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Comm: HQ/Main orphically 2014-01-21 06:42 am UTC (link)
	Organization is hot. Without it, we'd all really be dead, instead of just pretend. [Rustle of cellophane.] How would you feel if I took your gun away? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Comm: HQ/Main anything1 2014-01-21 06:47 am UTC (link)
	McKendrick took my gun away from me once. I let him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Eyeroll.] Permanently? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Comm: HQ/Main anything1 2014-01-21 06:58 am UTC (link)
	No one said to take his camera permanently, HQ. Just when you're with him. If things are going to work out, you'll get to the point where you trust him, even with the camera around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Comm: HQ/Main orphically 2014-01-21 07:00 am UTC (link)
	[He makes a sound, frustrated she's not understanding.] The camera and his profession are part of who he is. Not trusting him because he has both is not going to go away. McKendrick never asked you to put down the gun. Metaphorically. [Snap of a lighter. Inhale.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Comm: HQ/Main anything1 2014-01-21 07:02 am UTC (link)
	[Sip.] Yes he did. So did Brandon. Giving up the gun wasn't the reason either of those didn't work, before you claim it is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Comm: HQ/Main orphically 2014-01-21 07:03 am UTC (link)
	[Astonished pause.] How incredibly stupid of them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Comm: HQ/Main anything1 2014-01-21 07:04 am UTC (link)
	Not the point, and since when do you smoke? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Comm: HQ/Main orphically 2014-01-21 07:06 am UTC (link)
	You're telling me you're not resentful? [Lighter snaps closed.] I think I mentioned being bored. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Comm: HQ/Main anything1 2014-01-21 07:08 am UTC (link)
	Not about the guns. They have their reasons for not liking them, just like you have your reason for not liking the camera. I understand baggage, Rawlings. I have plenty of it myself. And you already had the cigarettes before you were bored. Are they stale? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Comm: HQ/Main orphically 2014-01-21 07:23 am UTC (link)
	I smoke a lot. I'm a goddamned nicotine addict. [GASP he swore.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Comm: HQ/Main anything1 2014-01-21 12:59 pm UTC (link)
	You're cursing? This is getting desperate. How about an early morning run, Rawlings? No cameras. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Comm: HQ/Main orphically 2014-01-22 06:32 am UTC (link)
	I just told you I'm a smoker and you want me to go run? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Comm: HQ/Main anything1 2014-01-22 06:35 am UTC (link)
	I smoked like a chimney until I got pregnant, and I still ran. We can go slow. How's that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
