Charlie's still gone?

[He meant to start differently, meant to use text, but it happens before he can stop himself. The question comes out earnest and worried.]

I still owed him a remix of that song from his musical. We were going to make a new one together.

[But that's not really what he meant to talk about, either. He swallows the thought and turns his attention.]

Listen, Ginger, I don't know you real well, but I don't think you're a burden. The whole thing where you try to make clothes for people? That's useful. Not everybody can do that kind of thing around here. You give me a needle and thread and I'd probably stab myself sooner than anything. But hey, where are you now? I just revived, I'm up at the funeral home. I could try to come meet you for that sock you made me, if you've still got it.

[Overall, his voice carries more emotion than that time they met during Escher's nightmare.]

[lacecase]

Yeah...I really miss him. Like, a lot. I shouldn't have let him go off by himself in the first place. It's totally my fault. He died right after he left. Why didn't I ask him to stay?

[She knows she shouldn't say all of that, but it comes out anyway. Before she can stop it.]

We just left the hospital, heading south.

[The idea of finally getting Davesprite his very special and Important sock successfully distracts her from word vomiting more of her self-doubt.]

I can ask England and America if we can wait up to meet with you?

[mrcreamsicles]

I left Homura and she died. I get it.

[It comes out tired and sore but sympathetic.]

I'm at the funeral home; it would take me a few days to get down there. If its easier not to wait you can leave it behind for me to pick up that way.

[lacecase]

I'm so sorry, sweetie.

[She's just bringing up bad memories, isn't she? Oof. Feelings are so hard!]

I don't think it's going to be a problem at all. I'll talk to them. I really want to, like, see your cute face in person.

[mrcreamsicles]

Uh. Shit. I don't think I'm cute, but thanks?

[He sounds flustered. He clears his voice.]

So does that mean you guys are going to settle at the aquarium, or somewhere else? So I know where I'm aiming for.

[lacecase]

That's fine. Not many people think they're cute. That's why other people need to remind them.

[And that's precisely what she's here for, don't you worry!]

We can just double back to the hospital. That's closer than the aquarium...is that okay?

[mrcreamsicles]

[How is she so darn nice. What the heck.]

[He brightens at the idea.]

Oh, yeah, that definitely works. Shouldn't take me more than a couple days if I can make it to the tunnel entrance tomorrow. I'll let you know if I get delayed.

[lacecase]

Good!

[Great! Awesome! Fantastic!]

You be as safe as you can, okay?

[mrcreamsicles]

I'll definitely try. Feels like something might come up and kill me again if I drop my guard, but...

[Damnit, stupid mouth.]

You know what I mean. You keep safe too, Ginger. You and the people you're with. I'll talk to you later.
