This is different. It's not the cabin...or the breach...or Eld Fen. Tanis. Whatever we're calling it this week.

I've been there enough times by now to know. It doesn't feel the same. There's not that sensation of being stretched thin and too awake but at the same time impossibly tired. That's not a good description of it. I'm not sure I have a good description of it. But then again, both times I've been there it was...not good.

( a snort of amusement )

Not good. Losing your car keys is not good. The cabin is...yeah. I don't have words for that. I think the sessions with my therapist point to a lot more than not good. I think the hardest part is that it just...isn't all there. In my head. I know I was there. I remember it. I just don't remember all of it.

My socks held up great though, even with all the running and nearly dying and breaking my ankle. Bombas socks seriously are great for running, whether it's a morning jog or fleeing a magical death cabin in the woods.

( a slight, awkward pause )

But this isn't the cabin. Tanis. Or I hope it isn't.

I think I would remember all the dinosaurs.

	If it helps, it wasn't nefarious monologuing? Podcast, actually. But I do work for a studio, so it's professional. Just not mainstream. Nice to meet you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's a slippery slope, my friend. It's a slippery slope. Huh. That's definitely a sort of. But I guess I don't really have room to talk there. At least as nice as it can be in a weird dinosaur city. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Are we friends now, then? In my defense, most of my friendships do happen as the result of someone saying "we're friends now". Alex did that in high school and I still haven't gotten rid of her. Oh? So what do you sort of do? Hey, at least weird dinosaur cities make for good stories. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Most of my friendships happen because of workplace proximity and pity. At least, that's the only reason I can think most of them don't hate me outright.

I used to be a secret agent, but then I got blackballed by the CIA so now I'm sort of a Private Investigator, but I've got to work under one of my dick co-workers who was the only one of us with enough legitimate experience to get a proper license. Because apparently twenty years in black ops doesn't matter when it's all classified.

I guess there's not many other situations you'd encounter something like this and not get eaten.

	~~What would MK~~ No ~~What would Geoff do?~~ Do you want to grab a beer and play some darts? I can guarantee there's no work or pity involved. I'm pretty sure I'm more pitiful than you anyway. Oh. Wow. That's...wow. That has to be weird, leaving behind something you've been doing for that long. Exactly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'd totally be down for that. And that would really depend on your definition of pitiful. I didn't want to work for the CIA to begin with. They're a bunch of giant prolapsed anuses. If the only option to stay in covert ops had been to stick with them, I would have rather gone rogue. I really hope we're not setting ourselves up for a Jurassic Park situation.

	I'm a 5'9", skinny Jewish guy on crutches. Pretty sure I'm pretty pathetic compared to you. I guess that makes sense. That would definitely be bad. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hey, look on the bright-side. At least you're above average. Total blood bath. I mean, the gates aren't anymore substantial that the ones they had. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That is true. At least we'll all die quickly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Screw that. Dying's stupid. I'm wrangling an Ankylosaurus, a couple of submachine guns, and going to town. (Reply to this) (Parent)
