116 - Taking a break from his emo

[major_west]

If I-- that is, my... soldier... shagged any of... er, your loved ones, I apologise. My men... they were all really quite young, and they hadn't seen any women in quite some time before we died. They thought the human race was dead-- all of it, except for us. You can imagine the relief, then, that one would feel upon coming out of that situation.

That's all I have to say about that flood.

[ADDED LATER: Private to the Admiral & Morgan]
I want them back. I don't care if they're here or on another Barge, somewhere else.

[OOC: ALRIGHT, so Clifton was sort of hitting on all sorts of ladies because he just got back from an apocalyptic sausage fest; HOWEVER, I'm not patient enough to hit on all the girls, and I didn't troll quite as many as I'd intended. If you were playing an easy chick and want to assume he boned you, GO AHEAD. Otherwise, I figure there's just an annoyed Paddy and Cox C:]

Somewhere between 20 and 23 would be my guess.

He was 23. My youngest was 19. He was the one who was stabbed to death-- the Infected didn't kill him. A man did.

Can you imagine being that young and having everything you've ever loved and enjoyed taken away from you because the entire world seemed to be ending?

And then you have it back, but it's only for a day or two, before everything is taken away from you again. You lose it all twice.

There is nothing good to derive from this flood.

I know what it's like to watch things like that happen to others. Not because the world was ending, but because we all thought we'd been doomed to death in a strange land and everyone turned against each other. I was medic to the entire group, and I was also assigned to care for two small children, a brother and sister, who were all alone. I slept next to them, and they were taken from me in the night by another group native to the place who were so fast and so quiet I didn't hear them until it was too late. The kids, a good friend, and many others, aside from those who died in the crash, were stolen from us. I'm afraid horrible things might have happened to them, and now believe them to be dead.

I don't know what it's like to be Clif, West, and I will never insult him by pretending to. I still might know a little of what it's like to be where you are right now.

And I'm sorry.

Believe me, you don't know a fraction of it.

The flood was another unnecessary cruelty of the Barge, and that is all.

[thatlibbychick.livejournal.com]

If that's the case for you, then I'm very sorry you were put through it.

...I'm not anywhere near you right now, so just imagine me giving you a hug.

[major-west.livejournal.com]

I don't need a hug, thank you.
