I'm alright. Dying was... it was bad. [ ... ] Much as I hate that they had to die to do it, Strohl and Hulkenberg getting there when they did was probably... good.
...I remember you said it was really hard for you, being alone on that side back in your last round. I'm glad you weren't as alone after they got there, at least. But - that doesn't make what happened to you any less painful, either.
[laughing a little at the contact, before he gets more serious]
...I think places like this are always hard, no matter which side we're on. Just in different ways. But - we're making good progress, at least, it feels like. I'm trying to focus on that.
But yeah. [ ... ] Tell me about what's been going on here? Your team stuff. Stuff I couldn't see on my side. How you got Strohl wrapped around your finger, maybe.
Jeeze, I barely remember -- well, actually. That depends on how much you know about his home. You guys had the memories thing happen here, right? What'd you see of his, because you'll get how pissed I was if you know.
The memories I saw were - of him getting his magic, and something kind of scary happening to Will. But I know about what happened to his village, and... I know what happened right before he got here.

Uh. [ probably don't tell him about everything, bad idea. ] I'm doing better now.
no subject
I mean - I won't pressure you or anything, but I'd like to hear it, whatever it is.
[i'm not a kid, i can take it.]

[you've been through way too much.]
no subject
You've been dead before. It's rough to be on the other side and watch people - you know, be friends.
[ for as much as they all curse each other, there's like... love to it?? bullying is a form of love. ]
I'm fine now. I want to get out of here. And I'm glad Strohl and Hulkenberg got here, too. They've missed you.
no subject
[quiet for a moment, before he leans into her briefly.]
Almost done with it. Then it'll - hopefully be easier. But either way, I'm really glad to see you.
no subject
Yeah. I'm glad to see you too. [ ... ] I get the impression the mood's fucking sucked on this side.
no subject

no subject
The only reason not everybody came back is because there's still stuff to do on the other side. They weren't unhappy to be there.
no subject
[amused for a second, but then]
Yeah. So... Everything's going to be okay. We'll make sure it is.
no subject
[ she'll sound like spamton and she refuses ]
But yeah. [ ... ] Tell me about what's been going on here? Your team stuff. Stuff I couldn't see on my side. How you got Strohl wrapped around your finger, maybe.
no subject
How I did? You know he thinks of you as his best friend, right? Talked pretty much every week about how much he missed you while you guys were apart.
[happy as he says that, grinning]
I think... You know, for as much as a fuss as he kicks up about stuff, he's pretty easy to get along with, besides.
no subject
she flushes slightly... strohl is so uncool. she's also so uncool. weh. ]
Ugh. [ I missed him too. More than anything. ] He - told me, yes.
[ she had very big emotions about it. ]
I've always thought so. He's easy to tease and people think he's too stiff or uptight but - he's one of the best people I've ever known.
no subject
[amused... but he nods. i missed him, too.]
Okay, but now you have to tell me what the six things were, if you remember.
no subject
Added like five points to the tally.
no subject
no subject
Yeah. Right before he got here is what I'm talking about. [ punched him for it, actually. ]

I'm glad he had you, while I wasn't here. He talks about you like you put the stars in the sky, man.
no subject
Yeah, he's very embarrassing, I know.
