I just wanna go home. Why can't-- why can't things be like they were? No more Infection, anything. Just... reset. Go back to normal. Can I go home?



Dad, Mum-- I miss them.

Where's Selena?

Heavy.

Can I get you tea or something, yeah?

[major-west.livejournal.com]

I don't want tea. I'm not... I don't need any.

[cantmissscooby.livejournal.com]

Would you like some lentil casserole then? I could make you some...

[major-west.livejournal.com]

I'm not hungry...

[cantmissscooby.livejournal.com]

Oh.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Who're you?

[cantmissscooby.livejournal.com]

I'm Neil. Hello! Who are you?

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Hannah...

Thanks for being so nice, Neil. Everybody else here's a bit creepy, 'cept for Billy.

[cantmissscooby.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there are a lot of really heavy people here that, like, want to bring you down and hassle you.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

That's true... but I guess there really isn't much to be happy about here, is there?

[cantmissscooby.livejournal.com]

It's really uncool and heavy most of the time, actually.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Sounds just like the place I came from.

You'd think here would be better, being the afterlife and all.

[cantmissscooby.livejournal.com]

I've learned that when things get really, really miserable and it doesn't look like they're gonna get any better, and everyone is really uptight and uncool and, like, even the lentils have all gone bad...

...things still managed to get even worse.

WAY TO DEPRESS HER, NEIL

[major-west.livejournal.com]

...well, that's just brilliant.

You make me look like a ball of sunshine, Neil.

It's what Neil does

[cantmissscooby.livejournal.com]

I should, like, kill myself, but I'm already dead now and I'd just come back...

[major-west.livejournal.com]

That isn't the way to go. Why don't you... find something that makes you happy?

[cantmissscooby.livejournal.com]

Because, like, everything I like, right, no one else likes. And then, like, whatever I like breaks or gets destroyed or catches on fire or...

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Well... what d'you like?

[cantmissscooby.livejournal.com]

My guitar. Lentils. Scooby-doo. Like, people being really beautiful to each other...

[major-west.livejournal.com]

You play guitar? Why don't you try to like... put on a show for everybody?

[cantmissscooby.livejournal.com]

Because Rick will break my guitar if I take it into the open. He's already told me he's going to do it.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Who's Rick? He sounds like a complete tosser.

[cantmissscooby.livejournal.com]

Rick's my...friend. Sort of.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Doesn't sound like much of a friend if he won't let you play guitar.

[cantmissscooby.livejournal.com]

He's a bit of a bastard, yeah.
