To anyone who gives a shit, North Dakota is gone.

He left letters. They're in his room. Have at it. Someone take the dog, I can't look at it.

[Text because she can't risk talking right now.]

Action -Stealth camo

[hatesgoodbyes]

[Stealth camo was just one of the perks that came with her armor, it meant she could more or less walk right behind you and you'd never know she was there. It also let her get close enough to leave thing without being noticed. Things like a hand written note, a page torn from a journal with near mechanical precision, and penmanship that could hardly be more uniform or precise. But the fact was it was hand written.]

Words don't mean much when you lose someone, and your brother was an outstanding man. He made people better just by knowing them. He will be missed here.

[Under the note was a simple offering, it might not be as grand as possible but it was deemed appropriate by the anonymous gifter. Two bottles of scotch, a six pack of beer and a framed photo someone in the village had been paid handsomely for framing. Well the payment was to keep their mouth shut, but the picture of the tall blond sniper was well done and captured his usual smile in a lean against the castle.]

F-U

[i_got_this]

[Fuck you Tex making the mun cry.]

[South's keeping that note with the letter, and although she has her suspicions she's not concerned with finding out who left it. Not now. That's all getting stashed in her room, the photo going next to the one of her twins, reverently, before she seeks out Crowely.]

Dictated

[hatesgoodbyes]

[That gift left and enough time between it and her next response to not connect the two she spoke.]

What's the dog's name? I've been thinking about a pet anyway.

[i_got_this]

[It's a bit before she replies, trying to think through the painful fog she's suddenly found herself in, but when she does write a response it's certain and unhesitating.]

Mason. he'd named it mason.

dictated

[hatesgoodbyes]

Good name, I'll go get him and settle him in. If you ever want to walk him or whatever just let me know. [It's subtle but there was something left there, if she needed to talk, or yell or scream or just take a dog for a walk, Tex was going to be around.]

written

[i_got_this]

unlikely.

[Even if she makes no indication of it, she appreciates the offer. She still didn't know why Tex was being nice to her, especially now that her brother that was everyone's favorite is gone.]

South

[originalcopy]

[Well fuck. Just when shit was starting to back to some sort of ok.]

Hey, I know you probably want fuck-all to do with anyone right now... but if you need anything...

church

[i_got_this]

yeah yeah i'll keep you in mind.

[Although it would probably be a long while until she's ready for paintball again.]

South

[originalcopy]

[There's always take-out food and video games. Just for the sake of not being alone.]

[i_got_this]

[He's going to have to find her first.]

Yup.

[babyaliendaddy]

I got no porn. You want some booze and a blow-up doll?

[i_got_this]

doesn't really work in reverse.

[She appreciates the offer, though.]

South

[encryptedlock]

[Well, that figures. That fucking figures. No wonder he hadn't heard from North about going on the expedition or not.

And South had almost even been in a good mood.]

You probably don't want to talk about it and if I ask you if you need anything, you're going to say no. So. Can I at least treat you to dinner when I get back? You don't have to talk if you don't want to.

York

[i_got_this]

we'll see.

[Turning down booze, sex, and free food. Yup, she's not taking this well at all.]

South

[encryptedlock]

Offer stands. And I know you don't want to talk, but if you want someone to hang out with while you don't feel like talking, let me know.

York

[i_got_this]

what is it with you people just leave me alone

[lucre]

Who is he to you?

written

[i_got_this]

my brother.

[Essentially the most important person to South.]

written

[lucre]

[ No shit, that's probably the worst thing anyone can lose in Lucrezia's book. ]

Will you make the castle pay?

written

[i_got_this]

is it even possible? stupid piece of shit place always rebuilds itself. what's the point.

[She wish she could make it pay, but counting that fruitless she's going to hide in the city for a while.]

text; forever South;

[youfallback]

[Well that sure is disappointing. She remembers how much South had wanted her brother to show up, but now that he had and then disappeared again, what was there to do about it. Carolina does at least know she doesn't have the capacity right now to be much help to the other woman, so she says to her what she hasn't said to anyone else since showing back up in the Castle,] I'M SORRY.

perma text/perma filter

[i_got_this]

[And, sadly, South isn't in the proper frame of mind to appreciate what Carolina's doing.]

are you really?

yep this

[youfallback]

YES [Okay, so it's not the most elaborate apology around, but it is at least sincere, if difficult to express.]
