.09. [VOICE] i return

[tangentdarko]

I gotta admit, I didn't really think I'd be coming back here. I think I got trapped in some kind of time loop, because I went back there just to come back here again and I.. I experienced the same thing over again there anyway. Who cares if I die again if I'm going to come back here to be redeemed? Again. [...] You can't just.. take a person away for a month and expect them to come back all eager to change. I didn't wan-- [...]

Okay. I'd rather be here than just.. gone. It's like chapter seven said.. "The Manipulated Living will do anything to save themselves from Oblivion." Grandma Death was right. I don't want to fall into Oblivion. I'd rather be here.

[Long pause.]

Are Paddy, John, and Warren still here?


[Fail!Private to Tommy, meaning public:]
Hey, Tommy.. Are you still my warden? I know it's been a month, but I didn't really have a choice to leave and I don't want to come back and start all over again unless you moved on and you want me to start over..

You're right. Nobody wants to die alone, an' John didn't. My boy and I found his body and buried him on the hill, an' I lived for three more years after.

I didn't think I'd find him here when I showed up, but I did. Whatever brought him here took him back though. That's all.

[tangentdarko.livejournal.com]

How did you die?

[left-that-life.livejournal.com]

Consumption, or something like it.

Genius in some ways, retard in others.

[tangentdarko.livejournal.com]

Consumption of what?

And this is why he's "endearing"

[left-that-life.livejournal.com]

Coughin' fits. Coughed up blood an' ran fevers.

Or something. :3

[tangentdarko.livejournal.com]

[A little bit later.]

Everything's going to be okay.

indeed. <3

[left-that-life.livejournal.com]

As you said, here's better than oblivion.

<3

[tangentdarko.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it is. I can only hope that things get better for you.

[left-that-life.livejournal.com]

That's why we're here...or so they tell me.

Anyways, welcome back. You need anything....hell, did I even ask for your name?

[tangentdarko.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Donnie Darko. It's.. it's better than Donald. Who are you?

[left-that-life.livejournal.com]

Donnie Darko ain't such a bad name. I'm Abigail.

[tangentdarko.livejournal.com]

That fits you.

[left-that-life.livejournal.com]

I'll take that as a compliment. I'll be seein' you around, Donnie.

[warrenwhite.livejournal.com]

I know. I'm beginning to think that I have some awesome survival skills.

[tangentdarko.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's your super power.

[warrenwhite.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'd say so. The Admiral might have given them to me.

[tangentdarko.livejournal.com]

That's really cool.

[warrenwhite.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you never know when he might give you some secret powers.

[tangentdarko.livejournal.com]

That would be pretty cool.

[warrenwhite.livejournal.com]

What do you reckon he'd give you?

[tangentdarko.livejournal.com]

I don't know. Time travel. [A laugh.]

[warrenwhite.livejournal.com]

That'd be a good one. [Thinking pause.] You wouldn't even have to be on the barge if you didn't want to be there.

[tangentdarko.livejournal.com]

Maybe I can ask him for that for Christmas.
