[ The video feed comes on early, just after the morning greeting. Aidan is definitely looking worse for wear, perpetually stifling a yawn and doing what he can to drown himself in the first pot of coffee of the day. It's been a few rough nights since Euphie moved in and not for the reasons one may suspect. ~~Or maybe exactly for the reasons one may suspect~~. ]

So, uhm... [ Clearing his throat. ] Anyone got any advice for stayin' awake when coffee don't cut it no more? I've tried cold showers, but uhm... I got a feelin' I'll give m'self a cold if I keep that up.

Anythin' would be helpful. Please.

	Yeah, I uh... I guess you could say that. I grew up on a farm. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What's that like? I mean, I always lived in DC. Not a lot of farming there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-03-10 09:40 am UTC (link)
	It's... real different from living in a city, that's for sure. Lots of fresh air, hard work... everything has a place, I guess. Ain't no time to wonder 'bout who you are. DC a city, I assume? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Uh, yeah. The capital of America. D'you wonder about who you are here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-03-18 06:37 pm UTC (link)
	[ That he's heard of. Okay. Capital. ] Yeah, all th' time... don't you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's more like I try not to. Spending too much time in my head like that--no one wants that, y'know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-03-19 10:42 am UTC (link)
	I, uh... I guess. [ Good point, actually. ] How do you do that, though? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-03-19 05:36 pm UTC (link)
	Haven't figured that out yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-03-20 05:50 pm UTC (link)
	That's how it usually goes, huh? Ain't all that easy, doin' it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-03-20 09:06 pm UTC (link)
	Guess I can't help you with your problem if I'm no good at controlling what's going on my head, either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-03-20 09:19 pm UTC (link)
	That's okay. I guess we're all in th' same boat in th' end. [ Sigh. ] Why d'ya call yourself crazy? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-03-20 11:23 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, well... most people probably are. 'Cause I get these pictures in my head, and there're some... compulsions. Like, usually I can handle it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-03-20 11:27 pm UTC (link)
	Pictures..? Like what? [ More curious than anything. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-03-21 01:28 am UTC (link)
	[Well, at least he tried to be slightly less forthcoming about what's rattling around in his head.] Like killing people. Whores, I mean, but I won't do it--kill anyone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-03-21 11:34 am UTC (link)
	Oh. [ Yes, oh. If you expected him to be really really scared or maybe disgusted right now... well, think again. ] That's no good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-03-21 06:37 pm UTC (link)
	[Meh. Most people around here aren't nearly as horrified as they should be. Nathan thinks that says more about them than about him.] Not really. ...Have you ever killed anyone? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-03-21 07:57 pm UTC (link)
	[ And he's probably right about that. ] Nah... I tried once, but guess I ain't as good a shot as I thought. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-03-21 10:16 pm UTC (link)
	Really? [There's a "wow, cool" tone.] What'd they do to make you want to shoot them? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-03-22 11:45 pm UTC (link)
	Well, uh... 's kinda a long story. He's th' chief of police back home... real asshole. [ And he could go into details but not everyone wants to hear all of that. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-03-23 04:30 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah? What kind of stuff did he do? [No, please, go into details!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-03-23 08:45 pm UTC (link)
	Your usual corruption stuff... an' he was kinda in charge of the near extinction of an entire race of aliens, so there's that too. An' he kept my boyfriend as his personal fightin' dog. There was just lots of bad stuff 'bout that guy. Trust me, I'd rather not kill anyone if I could avoid it but there was just no savin' that jerk. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-03-24 01:17 am UTC (link)
	What stopped you from killing him? He woulda deserved it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-03-24 04:12 pm UTC (link)
	Well... like I said, I ain't as good a shot as I wanted to be. I hit 'im a few times but he's darn resilient. Helix stopped me before I got another shot in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	questionofwhen 2014-03-24 11:52 pm UTC (link)
	You think it would've been wrong to kill him? Now, I mean, not then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2014-03-25 04:13 pm UTC (link)
	Nah. If anything, I'm more determined now. If I ever get back home... he's dead. One way or th' other. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
