28th Hangover - Actions Have Consequences [Phone | Action]

[hisnameisthecaptain]

[So, the fight against the Postman ended as these fights always do.

Still, long after it was over. Long after the pain has faded from memory. The Captain was still no where to be found! About a week later The Captain finally reappears. First with a phone call.]


[Phone | Unfiltered to Everyone]

Hey, this is Captain ☠☠☠☠.

The Postman is a lot tougher than he seems and he's a ☠☠☠☠.

Also, ☠☠☠☠ it. Unless your name is Elsa Bloodstone, I work alone. Don't bother calling me, I'm not going to be here.

[Click! Hangs up and leaves.]


[Action | Around Town]

[The Captain heads to his favorite place to escape, the bar. Though he stands outside it for a long moment before changing his mind and walking away.

He'll wander aimlessly around town. His eventual destination is Makeout Point since it's a nice view. Sitting up there and watching the town as he tries to think.]

((Name where you run into him if you tag. He can be wandering past anywhere.))

I know that! But you can't talk to me like I can make up for it within my lifetime! It's an insult to all of those families, those friends! Don't pretend to begin to understand what that burden is like!

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Don't use them as an excuse either.

If you want, mourn them, I don't care. Just stop trying to kill yourself thinking your doing something good.

[imaginenumbers.livejournal.com]

I would never do such a thing.

*a pause*

Isn't that what you're doing?!

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

...

[Yes. No. Shut up.]

No. I don't have anything to make up for and I'm already dead. It's different.

[Not really, he's still letting himself get torn apart trying to fix this.]

[imaginenumbers.livejournal.com]

You aren't dead until you're sent home or until this town is defeated.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

I know that, but I am not going to stop trying to beat this town.

[Yeah, without explaining why this sounds like a dumb idea.]

[imaginenumbers.livejournal.com]

Why? I don't understand...

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

The last time I was here I promised people I'd help get them out. I'm not going to ☠☠☠☠ everyone over just because I lost back home.

I choose to fight and lose back home, why not here?

[imaginenumbers.livejournal.com]

Then you're just like me.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm tired of that argument. Just do me a favor?

Survive and go back home when this is done.

[imaginenumbers.livejournal.com]

Why are you so worried about me?

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

You helped me out before. That doesn't happen often.

Also, I'm tired of people who can go home being so willing to give that up.

[imaginenumbers.livejournal.com]

Ah, that? That really wasn't a big deal...

... If that's what you want I'll do my best.

[heartstar-blues.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sure, nothing.

Thanks though.
