[...] Sure. I guess it could have been a probie prank. Or some others have a good reason to want it gone.

I don't think I understand, you think things have gotten a little lax with all this summit stuff?

was it an eyesore or something, i'm kinda blind to that shit thanks to growing up in a car graveyard

he only got the job a couple weeks before roswell shot that guy, it's an outta the cooking pot and into the fire deal

I'm having trouble remembering anything beyond red and fire truck shaped which are both perfectly acceptable things a truck could be. Were you decorating it or something?

And it was Celia's to begin with. I can't imagine it's been easy [...] but if you're noticing stuff like this keeps happening, I think you should probably say something. You're a leader too.

nah [...] was i supposed to be?????

4th in line's pretty much just a title and it ain't a big deal, beau steals a car, jem gets to flirt with her, it's a whole cycle and i ain't about to stop him gettin ~~dist~~ attention from a pretty girl. and besides she says she didn't do it [...] this time

It's your house, your choice to make it homey. There's got to be needlepoint out here somewhere.

I've seen you in action, it's not. That kind of flirting sounds like a lot of work and lost property, but who am I to judge. I see it all.

You believed her though?

i can cross stitch. are you impressed

what else'm i supposed to do, i don't feel like stomping over to the fort to look through all their shit. they'll call me officer rattray and that's the worst

I really am actually. Why haven't we seen any of it?

Youth are so mean. It'll turn up eventually, probably after you find somewhere indoors to settle in. That's just how the universe ~~and your~~ works. There's probably space here if you're looking?

didn't pack my notions and shit when we evaced

that's awful nice but i can't leave prescott i'm supposed to be here

Sounds like a nice gift idea for your Secret Santa.

So what are you going to do then?

i got plenty to keep me busy though. like finding my truck.

the usual spots are off the table so i'm kinda hoping it'll show back up if i whine about it enough??? otherwise idk i'm out of ideas

~~They'd be cruel to l~~ I think cross stitch might be a better use of your time.

Yeah, I think that's going to have the opposite effect. Has whining worked in the past for you? Why can't you sleep at the school?

but i'm a growin boy who needs his sleep

it worked when i was young n precious. the school's [...] lonely. even though it's kind of packed. i tried sleepin there again when that storm fucked with my truck and it wasn't any good

Yeah, I get not wanting to be lonely [...] can't you just bite the bullet and stay at the station? People are worried about you, there has to be space, it makes everyone happy, and you can cross stitch cozy and warm.

that's where court stays

And? Is that you needing space or her? There has to be a locker room you can fit into. A hulk sized closet?

[...] me. and closets're fire hazards

I notice you didn't say anything about the locker room. There must be space there somewhere you can at least be separate. You're kind of out of options and the truck has been taken off the board completely.

Or you become a Whitney resident. Would love to have you at the Distillery.

it might come back somehow

[...] you really think i should leave?

Sure.

No, unless you want to. I'm just giving you options is all, because I feel like you're making things harder for yourself. To the point where someone had to steal your house.

i said i was thinkin about it to court but i was mostly talking out of my ass cause we'd just fought and i was big into my feelings [...] and most of my feelings were me bein an asshole

but i don't think i can't not be a responder. and i don't wanna leave prescott. especially after we just spent a week blowin up all the folks i used to serve, i need it

Edited 2024-12-14 01:00 (UTC)

I'll believe you, but it sounds like you're taking all of this pretty hard and could give yourself a little grace maybe. You seem like you're doing a lot of punishing yourself because you think it'll make other people feel better, when you're the one hurting too.

Hey, I get it, they're your family and it's your home. You're a good responder and you want to help people. But if you also want to take the opportunity to figure out if there's other things you might like to do, what you need, then it sounds like good timing to me.

everything just feels weird. or nothing feels right i guess

ain't nothing else for me [...] and don't get all "arlo think more about yourself" cause i don't mean it like that, i never felt as good as i do when i get to help folks through a shitass time. i doubt becoming a [...] scav at the depot or a cowboy at the mill'll scratch the itch the same way

Edited 2024-12-14 06:06 (UTC)

It's not like those are your only two options, by the way, but I get it. Being a responder is your calling.

You don't want to leave Prescott, you need Prescott...I think you have your answer about the sleeping situation. You see Court all of the time anyway. So sack up, things don't feel right, then figure out what does. We're out of just survival mode now and going to really build a community. Your possibilities are endless ~~and you probably need to get laid~~

I've got a bunch of ideas for you already if you want to shoot them all down for fun.

yeah and the trick to seein her all the time's to stay over her, which ain't gonna stick if i get a gander every day when she wakes up. ~~like sorry but my ex-wife's hot as~~

duke said i'm being a baby so. hit me

Exposure therapy. You should ask your brother, the resident therapist about that because I agree with his assessment.

Okay:

Start a stitch and bitch

Start a quad garage with some of the container fort as a side gig, since we'll need one anyway and they need supervision

Get a dog

Get a FWB situation

Get everyone in the quad up to fire safety standards. Train new volunteer fire fighters

Magic Mike at the Lobby

I can keep going.
