I was wondering--how long do you think you should wait until you decide that someone's really gone?
[In view: Beth, in a tank top, shorts, and a bunched-up scarf, sitting on a porch swing that moves idly to and fro. Good weather, the hints of picturesque countryside, even if the capsule-like building behind her is on the ugly side. Someplace out of view, a dog barks once or twice.]
Like, my boyfriend's been in and out for weeks at a time. And it's happened a lot--this is the third time now. Other people, though...they're gone, and that's it. Or they leave and come back, and the next time, that's it. It all seems so random. Looking for a pattern's gonna drive you crazy.
So when do you stop checking for their name on the network? How do you decide if this time's forever, or if it's just another phase? [A pause, her mouth tugging downward.] It's almost harder than really losing people--at least then, you know they're gone.

[It's the rote answer--sorry, dude. She'd really like for it to be true, at least.]
we were only dating for a few months
how long were you and your boyfriend together????
no subject
about the same, though we had a long history back home
i'm lucky in that way, that he was even from the same place as me
at least there's the few months to hold onto. even if he doesn't come back.
though... it's also very easy to be bitter about what you lost, but that's okay too
no subject
[I hope.]
sometimes you only get a little while with people
but it's better than nothing
at least here he could come back
when we lost people at home that was it
tell me about him????
no subject
on all fronts
[he doesn't bring up the memory thing, the fact that he could come back and not remember her at all. this situation is depressing enough without rubbing salt in the wound, even if it's at the back of his mind all the time.]
i'm sorry for the people you lost at home. you're right about the cruelty of people coming back here, too. the uncertainty makes it very hard to fully move on or accept what's happening, sometimes.
very tall, very kind and very emotional
i still have a lot to learn about interacting with people from him, even if he's not here anymore
who was it you were with, if you don't mind me asking?
no subject
the best people are still there even after you lose them
still changing who you are
[My dad was like that. The kind of person you never stop learning from, whether he's there or not.]
his name's jesse
jesse pinkman
do you know him????
no subject
[he has to smile at that, though it's bittersweet. matt is a great guy, but archie won't ever forget how his own actions had hurt him so much, to the point where he lost some of those good things about him.]
we spoke a few times
my crobat was very fond of him
he was a great guy
[who... also disliked him, but that's neither here nor there.]
very caring. i do hope he comes back to you.
no subject
he is
[She's about to type I wish he could see it, but that's a little too personal. Jesse worked hard to hide that sadness of his from people, and Beth, of all people, won't give away the details.]
your crobat????
that's a pokemon right??????
no subject
yep! you're welcome to meet him as well if you want, or if it would help
no subject
people don't stop being who they are just because they leave
idk if it would help but all the pokemon i've met are pretty cute
makes it easy to see why you guys like them
no subject
he's a giant bat though, just a warning
if not him then i have a dog, shark or whale you can hang out with instead
just being around them really helps, i find
no subject
[Which isn't a no.]
animals help everything
they're always so happy
no subject
it might be a little weird, but if you talk to crobat he'll be able to understand you and the concept of what's going on
they're all sentient, but he won't reply with words
i won't come over myself, just let me know where you are and i'll get him to fly to you
no subject
[C'mon, dude, she's not just gonna use you for your intelligent bat.]
or we could meet up someplace
i'll bring my dog she loves going to parks
no subject
if you're sure
we can meet at one of the dog parks? i'll bring my dog too. make a proper zoo of it.
no subject
yeah
where do you live?????
no subject
it's good for dog parks but i dont mind going to another city if its convenient for you
no subject
no subject
no subject
gimme like half an hour?????
no subject
i'll be there.
