Does anyone know if a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster exists in some door? I would very much appreciate directions.

[Mikey C]

Leo's gone. [...] Does that mean you're going to leave soon, too?

[Flash T]

[Nothing on the journal, but Donna's crafted a whole bunch of lvl 60 gear for him~]

[Mingmei S]

I'm going to be setting up some investor meetings soon. If they get to the negotiation point, would you be willing to join me?

[It's her turn for a long pause.] you can't let yourself worry about everything. is she sick now? sometimes you have to cross that bridge when you get to it instead of standing there and wondering what is on the other side. clones are inherently unstable, yes, and she's lucky to have someone that could help her spot any defects. but what ifs will drive you bonkers. just be her friend.

	she's not sick yet. [...] i keep thinking it'd be easier on me if i just act like i don't see her. or i don't accept it, you know? just sorry you aren't her, see you later. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: flash/donna recursion 2015-07-13 11:03 am UTC (link)
	possible that she won't ever get sick, you know. don't throw that 'yet' around so fast. [...] is that how you want it to be? just write it off? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: flash/donna flashofvenom 2015-07-13 11:04 am UTC (link)
	why is it easier to think nothing is going to happen instead of everything bad? [...] no. i mean sometimes? [...] that's why i do this. play games. i cant be in the real world all the fucking time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: flash/donna recursion 2015-07-13 11:14 am UTC (link)
	[...] i didnt say that. i wouldnt because bad things happen. they shouldn't but they do and we are supposed to be prepared. but if we concentrate on everything bad all the time, we'd never leave the house. i know the feeling. escape. but [...] we don't have to talk about this anymore if you don't want.

	[An obvious attempt at a joke:] well i don't have a working wheelchair anymore so idk if I'll be leaving anytime soon anyway. nah i mean. [awkward.] i ask because [...] she doesn't have a whole lot of friends right now and i think you're really fucking rad [...] so i was wondering if you wanted to come hang out. if she turns out to be ok.

	it's a good thing there's 24 hour delivery, right? [There's a pause. Maybe a little flustered.] of course i would. i'd really like that. [...] you know, i wouldn't have known about the clone thing if you hadn't said anything. and i still would have come to hang out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	imma get pizza fat. [honestly surprised. enough that he misses a fish.] yeah? [...] well, i didn't want to fucking lie to you. [...] and it's gwen, you know? if i asked you to come hang with us, you'd know something was fucking weird. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: flash/donna recursion 2015-07-13 04:29 pm UTC (link)
	there's so much more to delivery than pizza! [...] don't let my brothers know i said that. it will get back to dad and he'll be so disappointed. oh [Another pause as things click in her brain.] well you never know how things work around here. everything is pretty weird to me. she's okay though? all things considered.

	im sure they got tired of it eventually, right? i think so? [...] i think she's not sure what to make of everything. [...] i think she's scared of going back to being gwen. we all want it to be the same but- well. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: flash/donna recursion 2015-07-14 11:26 am UTC (link)
	something like that. more like the family joke got old. i think she has a right to be scared. and fear isn't bad. it's how we know there's something we need to question. how do you feel about it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Did you get teased at school for the naming thing your dad did? Spent a lot of my life knowing she was going to die. And she did, right? But, now she's back and anything could happen. I fucking hate the uncertainty of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

sometimes? it's not like a lot of people think donna is short for anything. most people didnt pay any attention to me.

everyone dies. everyone. you can't sit around and wait for it to happen. you have a second chance to spend time with someone you care about. that's a rare opportunity you've been given. uncertainty is terrifying, yeah, but no one knows what's going to happen even ten minutes from now. (please don't list those few people that do. i am trying to make a point.) 'anything can happen' is sort of the whole backbone of living. no one's life is pre-destined, so you can't say you knew what would happen. [...] i mean, the comics aren't some weird prophetic gospel, right?

i was like that until i started giving nerds swirlies.

we thought our lives were pre-destined. like for real. every spidey comic was exactly the fucking same. gwen dies. i get fucked. pete and mj hook up. harry goes nuts. [....] and that's why they are like that, man. im sure the other comic book characters are living out how they are in the comics, too. like tony? drunk scientists who's lonely. That's the fucking comics, man!

	i think i'd rather be ignored. but it doesn't have to be, right? things can change. [...] right? [A long pause because what if they can't change?] like us talking doesn't ever happen, so that has to have some sort of weird effect, yeah? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: flash/donna flashofvenom 2015-07-16 04:42 pm UTC (link)
	did you have any friends? gwen says it's hard to find other nerd girls. idk man. [...] what if you're just a stand in for someone else i knew in the comics that isn't here? like betty or some shit?? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

i had a few. seattle is forgiving to nerds. most of my friends were virtual though. i guess it is sort of hard, but we're around. you'd be surprised how possessive of nerdy things guys can be. the girls get buried a lot, or chased out because we're not as smart or should be in the kitchen.

[LOL at Betty] i doubt i'm betty or anyone. if anything i'd be random victim number eight. barely a stand-in. doesn't mean that it can't be different. butterfly wings and tsunamis, you know.

	after shit went bad with my dad, the only guys who would talk to me were these MLP dudes. yeah they were shit to women sometimes. tried to make them stop, but i think everyone's fucked up at that age. i don't think of you that way. [pause and then he's done talking.] imma sign us up on the duty finder, yeah? let's go kill stuff. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	everyone matures at a different speed, and sometimes people just don't know any better. they probably know better now because you said something. [Good, she doesn't want to argue why he SHOULD.] sure, let me get on my summoner. brb (Reply to this) (Parent)
