[Oz is sitting at the beach in Sector One. It’s one of the first times he’s ventured out and about since that class about werewolves and how to kill them. Right now he’s sitting in the sand close to where the surf is coming in, his pants are rolled up so that the water just hits his feet and ankles before receding again. He’s leaning back on his palms, eyes closed, face turned up in spite of the overcast sky. He looks very calm, as always – very peaceful, as always. But also, as per usual, what’s on the outside doesn't always match what’s on the inside with Oz.

He’s enjoying the quiet and his solitude. But he won’t turn away anyone who might come across him.]

	Not great, no. I, uh... I signed up as a relief worker in a civil war. They were short on people and I needed to get off th' grid for a while. Ended up helpin' th' medics a lot. [ So, you know. There's that. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He nods. Understanding getting off the grid for awhile. He's done it before. He did it again the past few days.] Are you a medic? A friend of mine, Helen, just opened a clinic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-03 07:23 pm UTC (link)
	Nah, nothin' like that. Most of th' time I just helped holdin' people down. Didn't exactly have a lot of pain killers out there. [ But plenty of amputations. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	taciturnbeast 2013-08-03 07:38 pm UTC (link)
	Ouch. What was the civil war over? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-04 11:36 am UTC (link)
	I, uh... [ Well, this is awkward. ] I don't really know. I mean, I kind of know but they didn't go into details and I don't speak th' language. They just... they needed help and I could help 'em. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	taciturnbeast 2013-08-06 01:18 pm UTC (link)
	Stellar choice, helping just because it was needed. [ He gives Aidan a sidelong look. He likes him. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-06 06:31 pm UTC (link)
	You think? [ Genuinely curious. Most people don't. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	taciturnbeast 2013-08-08 09:32 am UTC (link)
	[ He nods. ] Oh yeah. I'm definitely pro helping, especially if there's a void that needs filling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-08 04:34 pm UTC (link)
	Not a lot of people think that way. 'Least not where I'm from... they think it's stupid or risky or somethin' to go out of your way to help someone else. Even more so when you're not gettin' anything out of it for yourself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	taciturnbeast 2013-08-08 05:05 pm UTC (link)
	I think those people are everywhere. Luckily my world also has a lot of people who wanna help... people who can make things happen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-08 06:05 pm UTC (link)
	That must be nice... I mean, it ain't like we didn't have any of 'em. They were just hard to find. [ And he was pretty gung-ho about it. ] There's a lot of 'em here too, I guess. Plenty of people going out of their way to help. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	taciturnbeast 2013-08-08 06:13 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, here could be worse. [ And he knows that. He keeps reminding himself of it lately. Over and over. ] As far as prisons and the people in them go, we have all the luck. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-09 04:47 pm UTC (link)
	Agreed. Never thought prison could be like this... almost makes me wanna stay. [ Less almost and more definitely. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	taciturnbeast 2013-08-10 02:29 pm UTC (link)
	It's reprieve-like. [ He nods, then sobers a bit. ] Makes me feel selfish. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-11 09:16 am UTC (link)
	Why's that? [ Softly prompting. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	taciturnbeast 2013-08-13 11:19 am UTC (link)
	Because of things people are going through back home, like wars. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-14 04:55 pm UTC (link)
	Oh yeah... yeah, I guess there's that. [ It makes him think though. ] Y'know... when I went back home, it didn't really feel like any time had passed. Maybe it just screwed with my head... I don't know. Ain't like I remembered it until I woke up... or more like I remembered that I forgot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	taciturnbeast 2013-08-14 06:06 pm UTC (link)
	Did you remember this place at all when you went home? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-14 06:28 pm UTC (link)
	[ Shakes his head. ] Like I said... it's more like I remembered that I forgot when I woke up here again. Maybe I didn't go home at all. Maybe it's all in my head. [ And his hair, but that's practically the same. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	taciturnbeast 2013-08-18 02:58 pm UTC (link)
	I had the same thing happen. Remembering here when I got back but not when I was there. Like... extra years just got shoved into my head. It's not much with the sense making. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-20 11:46 am UTC (link)
	Right? It's been real hard to explain... I'm not even sure I get it, so it's nice to know that you do. [ No, really. He appreciates it a lot. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	taciturnbeast 2013-08-21 10:38 am UTC (link)
	Do you have people from your home here? Sometimes that helps. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-22 02:48 am UTC (link)
	I got Helix. [ Who you may know as the guy who stunk up your place of residence way back when. ] He helps, but... I don't know. He doesn't get it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	taciturnbeast 2013-08-24 11:44 am UTC (link)
	Yeah. I know how that is. [ Having friends who just don't get some things. But still, they help here and there. ] I have a family back home. A wife and a baby. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-08-24 01:09 pm UTC (link)
	Oh... oh, I'm so sorry. I can't even imagine... [ That gave him a sickening feeling for so many reasons. He kind of want to scootch over and give Oz a hug, but he's not sure if the guy is a hugger. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
