Freedomtown IC

While I'm still far more full of sadness than I'm used to... it helps to have people that understand you.

Thank you for being there for me, Harley. I feel like we gave each other the first real comfort either of us have had in a long time.

Now if only I could find someone who can make me forget Mic- fill that hole in my heart.

Sometimes you can learn new things about yourself in unexpected ways.

I realized today that I've always been a bit arrogant. Always thinking of myself as a disaffected loner... I was a fool.

Because until I got here, with no friends, no family, and no Michiru partner - I didn't really understant the meaning of the word 'alone'.

Kick. Ass.

Don't even worry about this, Vanellope. I'm loving it.

I've got to admit... I feel much more like myself right now.

I wanna get more drunk and do things that should be under an age filter.

... But I miss Dustin. I wanna hang out with him.

Oooh... Hey, Steve! You still here?

I have to admit... other than the couple of more troublesome things, I actually like this place. Literally a whole new world, in every way.

Alex Vause found herself in something of a funk. She'd been happy to help teach Mere Delany onboard Serenity, but more and more lately it felt like she was training a replacement rather than a co-worker. Mere cracked her up and was great company, but Alex had been thinking that maybe it was time to move on; much like Chase had before her. The trouble was... what did she move toward?

Not to mention the fact that while things with her girlfriend Gwen had been going well, she felt stagnant in their relationship. What did she do with these feelings? She did what any responsible adult would do. She found a bar and decided to drink until she didn't feel feelings anymore. Right at the moment, she was in the middle of a boilermaker. She dropped a shot of whiskey into a pint of beer, then guzzled as much as she could until she needed to take a breath. "That's the shit, right there."

Well. I suppose I should be thankful for the Welcome Center. At least it prepared me for how... different things are going to be for me here.

Anata wa koko ni imasu ka?

Haruka-san? Usagi-chan?

*Translation: Are you here?
