[ Voice, open to all ]

'Bout a week ago, some guy asked me how many people I'd seen come an' go since I got here. In three months it's somethin' like... 70 out of 110. Probably more now, I ain't bothered countin'... but that kinda stuff can really get you down, even when you don't know th' numbers. We lose people all th' time here. People we got to know here, friends from back home... [ He falls silent for a beat. Draws a steadying breath. ] An' it's sad. It's damn sad an' there ain't nothin' we can do 'bout it but keep goin'.

...I guess I just wanted t' remind y'all about th' Memorial Garden down in Sector 4. Anyone who wants t' plant somethin' there in memory of someone they lost, whether they were here or back home... you're welcome to. It's for all of us, th' ones that are still here an' the ones that aren't.

[ Voice, locked to Sougo ]

Hey, Sougo... I need your help with somethin'.

[ Action, open ]

[ Aidan will be dividing his day between lugging boxes between Sector 2 and 4, and later spending a few long hours in the Memorial Garden. Feel free to approach the pensive country boy! ]

	Because your lives are so incredibly short. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ The look Eric gives is 'are you fucking kidding me' ] You will live at most a century missing whomever it is you miss. I am one thousand years old and I miss my children and my wife all the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So you're sayin' that just because we die quicker, we hurt less? That's a load of bullshit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vikingly 2013-12-15 11:31 pm UTC (link)
	I'm saying that you don't hurt as long as we hurt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-12-16 12:34 pm UTC (link)
	So what? You wanna measure dicks too? [ Grow up. ] Hurt is hurt an' if you've lived that fucking long, you should know better than to say someone else's hurt isn't as bad as yours. Asshole. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vikingly 2013-12-16 05:41 pm UTC (link)
	[ Eric rolls his eyes at that. Humans always take things far too personally. ] And if you'd lived as fucking long as I have, you'd know that's not true. There are varying degrees of hurt, human. [ He manages to make it sound every bit as insulting as Aidan's asshole. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ A snarl. He knows who you are, dickweed. Don't think he's forgotten. ] I guess compassion ain't a thing you get to keep when you're old as shit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vikingly 2013-12-16 05:47 pm UTC (link)
	In other words, a useless emotion. Yes. You'd be correct there. [ No, not really. Eric's lack of compassion here has more to do with the fact that he is hurting from losing Sookie than anything else. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	...If this is what livin' forever turns you into, I'm surprised you haven't staked yourself a long time ago. What's the fuckin' point if you're dead inside? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Eric's expression goes cold and dangerous. ]

I believe you've missed the entire 'fucking point' entirely so let me reiterate it for you. Humans have entirely too short, pointless, meaningless lives to truly understand the meaning of hurt, love, hate or any other fucking emotion that isn't entirely self indulgent. Perhaps you're missing someone that you pledged your life to. [ Yes, he's noticed the Blueberry Boy is gone ] You're what...twenty? At the most. That means you've pledged at the very upper estimate of your life seventy years. Boo-fucking-hoo. I've had parties that lasted longer than that. [ No he hasn't]

Miss someone for a few fucking centuries and come back to talk to me about being dead inside.

	[ There's a silence here. A long, contemplative silence and when he speaks he's not angry. More toneless, quiet compassion vibrating underneath. ] I feel so damn sorry for you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vikingly 2013-12-18 05:31 pm UTC (link)
	[ Eric doesn't like that tone of voice. He doesn't want pity. When he speaks it's a short, sharp burst of a word. ] Don't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-12-18 10:13 pm UTC (link)
	[ Sorry, but he's not leaving it there. ] 's a damn pity, 's all I'm sayin'... that you have to be stupid as shit just because you're old as balls. An' here I thought age brought with it wisdom, but I guess you're th' exception to th' rule. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vikingly 2014-01-03 05:01 pm UTC (link)
	And you're an ignorant fool to speak of things you have no grasp of. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-01-04 10:30 pm UTC (link)
	I'd rather be a fool than an old geezer with no respect for anyone else. Go fuckin' cry me a river already, unless you got someone else's boyfriend to munch on first. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vikingly 2014-01-05 10:40 pm UTC (link)
	Oh is that what this is about. [ He sounds wickedly amused now. ] Respect is earned, human or ripped out alongside someone important's throat. Take your pick. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-01-06 11:30 pm UTC (link)
	Then you can rest assured you ain't gettin' mine any time soon, jerkface. [ Goes both ways and he's sure entertained the idea of sinking a stake into that chest of yours. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vikingly 2014-01-07 12:49 am UTC (link)
	And here I was so clamoring for your respect. Jerkface? Really? Would you like to try that again? Bastard, dick and asshole are often used to describe me. Although, I dislike bastard. It's inaccurate. I know exactly who my father was. [ In other words, he doesn't feel dick or asshole are inaccurate. WHO KNOWS] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-01-07 08:44 pm UTC (link)
	....Are you serious right now? You really tellin' me what abuse to throw your way? [ The fuck. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vikingly 2014-01-07 10:46 pm UTC (link)
	You're obviously irritated. I want to make sure you air it properly. [ he's just being a dick and trying to get under aidan's skin. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Piss off, shitstain. [ Mmnyep. And with that he cuts the feed. ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
