♕ 008 warden filter voice

[breathoflight]

[Snow has been thinking. A lot. About deals and going home and everything. She feels like she's at a crossroads. She's recently been unpaired from her inmate, which she supposes isn't like losing her inmate, but it's still a little discouraging. It would be simple to just return home. Let that be that.]

[But she's started to wonder if it's just her deal that keeps her here. She's started to create bonds and friendships here that she knows she'd miss dearly if she were to return to her world. In short, she doesn't know what that means.]

How many of you have intentions of returning to your world once you have succeeded with your inmate? Do you wish to return simply because the deal you have arranged is all that you have left to do or wanted to do in the first place?

Or must you return?

[Snow hesitates a moment before adding:] Have any of you changed your mind?

[myresponsibility]

I'm going home. I mean, I'm definitely not planning on staying here forever. [He's got Aunt May and Gwen and his city to go back to.

Although okay, the fact that you're asking this is vaguely concerning.]

Why?

[breathoflight]

I, myself, must return. My people need me.

I suppose at the beginning, I did not think that I would be here for so long nor that I would develop such strong friendships. It's hard for me to imagine walking away from friends like that.

[She's just going to stick to talking about friends. Alex might be in a coma, but he could go back and look at this and she just doesn't want to cross that bridge right now. :c]

[myresponsibility]

[Hey, Peter would actually be relatively qualified to discuss stable long term young adult relationships.

Admittedly, Gwen would probably be the better option here, but. You're stuck with Peter.]

Yeah. I don't know, maybe there's a way to keep in touch. It's not like that would be the weirdest thing that's ever happened because of the Barge.

[megamind]

There are-- There are things here-- people here-- Well. [ he shrugs ] I'll wait on... well. Just the one now.

[ Since Tosh decided not to be a part of their... arrangement any longer. ]

It's complicated. Barge life always is.

[breathoflight]

You are certainly not wrong about that.

[megamind]

Unfortunately it's this what makes life on the barge... both stable and maddening. Without that-- person, those people, it's easier to forget... well.

I want my deals, don't get me wrong. But without the family I've grown here, it wouldn't be the same.

[surfaceshine]

Well, I've got a couple things I need to fix, but yeah. Eventually I'll go home. Otherwise what's the point of all the work I'm doing here?

[breathoflight]

That makes sense.

[Wow, Snow agreeing with Dean. World's ending. Hold onto your pants, kids. It's probably going to be a bumpy ride.]

[surfaceshine]

[Hey, he is right. Sometimes. Occasionally. That one time.]

Having a crisis of faith?

[warisart]

I do not, ma'am. I have never intended to go back to where I came from.

[breathoflight]

Snow is fine. [We've been over this, Ben, u kawaii.] May I ask why?

[warisart]

You may. The answer is complicated and likely to be unpleasant.

[That's his brother down there saying what he always says, but Ben purposely does not lock his message.]

[onlysurvivor]

I'm afraid I can't go back. If I did... I would do more harm than good.

[breathoflight]

Do you mind if I ask why not?

[Private]

[unknownsoldier]

[welp that's his little brother up there saying he's not going back. But Zack's voice over the audio feed is calm.]

I'm going back. I have a family.

[Private]

[breathoflight]

I am glad to hear it. I take it then that you are a close family?

[Private]

[unknownsoldier]

... I guess you could say that.

[intelligently]

I plan on going home. Eventually.

[breathoflight]

When your deal is complete?

[intelligently]

Yeah. Whenever that is.

[lastrat]

I hope there aren't many planning to stay here forever.

[breathoflight]

What made you decide against returning and staying home after you graduated?

[lastrat]

I was shot.

Warden filter;

[notdreaming]

Going home is the whole point. I mean, I guess I could come back here if I wanted to, but I'm definitely going home.

[breathoflight]

You will. I pray it is sooner rather than later, but I know you will.
