had enough

[rustyhonesty]

I... I've had enough.

[Jean's voice come across the network as very quiet and rather weak. He's back from the death again, this time remaining in liminal space.]

I was killed. Again. What sort of a person gets killed twice in the same jaunt? It's ridiculous. [There's a forced, nervous laugh.] On top of that this time it was... it was... more painful, both mentally and... becausewhydidIrunintothemjustwhy-

[The way he talks is more panicky at the end before an abrupt pause. He's quiet for quite a long time before gathering himself and continuing.]

I'll be staying in Liminal Space. I don't think I would be useful anymore even if I came back.

Well you could probably use me as a shield.

[Ha ha. Ha..... ]

[Look, all his Lurkglider instincts want to climb, despite how very human Jules looks.

...and sure enough, he appears up at the top of that pile.]

Hey!

[rustyhonesty]

... hey. We really were on the opposite sides, huh?

[Jean's wearing his usual Survey Corps clothes with the green cape to offer him some warmth. Good thing he learned Hammerspace before the Jaunt. At least his clothes didn't get ruined.]

[failgoyle]

Guess so! I'm coming down, hold on...

[Jules's own clothing looks like it's seen better days, considering all he's been through in it. He also stumbles there at the top of the pile of coins and ends up sliding down to where Jean is on his butt.

Let him just lie there for a few moments.]

Hello.

[rustyhonesty]

[That's... one way to make his way down.]

... you didn't hurt yourself with your sliding did you?

[failgoyle]

Nah, I'm fine. I've had way worse.

[He's picking himself up again.]

How you holding up?

[rustyhonesty]

[That's a relief. Kind of? Jean's not very sure how to react to that.]

Could be worse... I suppose. I'm holding myself better than thought.

[failgoyle]

That's good.

[He pauses as he dusts himself off.]

But sometimes it's good to...y'know, get it all out. I feel better after I do that, you know? Wear my heart on my sleeve and all that.

[rustyhonesty]

... it's really hard to put any of my feelings into words right now.

[failgoyle]

So if you just wanna scream or something, that's cool. I won't tell anyone.

[rustyhonesty]

I think I'm too tired for that either, but thanks for the thought anyway.

Are you thinking about going back... there?

[failgoyle]

Yeah. For food and stuff. I can bring you some, if you want!

[rustyhonesty]

... I don't have much of an appetite, but I guess something light wouldn't hurt.

[failgoyle]

Alright, I'll keep an eye out for something light out there.

[rustyhonesty]

Thanks. I appreciate it.
