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..... ]

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.
