Post-Jaunt thoughts and coping

[gotabadfeelingaboutthis]

That was just...weird. I mean, I was myself and all, but I was someone totally different. Is it always like that, having your head messed with and everything changed around?

Anyway, I'm just glad to be Han Solo again, instead of Captain Solus. And I never thought I'd say it, but I'm happy to be back in liminal for now.

Infiltrating is always a strange experience. Especially the way the other lives seem to prod at specific themes.

It is a very disconcerting experience, I must agree. I was pleased not to be subjected to it this time.

Pretty much. Though I'd say it's even worse when you spent a whole Jaunt thinking you know someone you've never talked to before. That gets...awkward.

I kinda think my daughter had that feeling. It's gotta be a lot worse to come back and realize it was your own dad, y'know? I'll have to have a talk with her, make sure everything's okay.

[runawaystory]

That seems like a good idea?

[gotabadfeelingaboutthis]

She should, she's pretty strong, but it's still good, yeah.

...Must be weird having your kid along for something like this.

[gotabadfeelingaboutthis]

Yeah...yeah it is, in quite a few ways. It's less lonely, but more worry at times, I'll say that.

Usually. Lucky if you considered your version in the Jaunt 'yourself'.

[gotabadfeelingaboutthis]

It was very similar in some aspects. Different in others.

[Rorschach's tone is always a little flat, but there's something slightly more dry to this comment.] Very description.

I know, I know.

I was still a captain, just not the kind I'm used to being. Different kind of ship in there than back home.
