15. If only my life was more like 1983/All these things would be like they were at the start of me

[Filtered away from the First Gens and anyone who would aid them or wish to harm/attack the castle.]

My thoughts are with all of you headed out on your mission today- I have had enough adventuring for one lifetime, I think, and there are several talented medics accompanying you already, so I will send my support from afar. I have someone back here who requires my full attention, anyway.

[Filtered to friends of Simon Tam.]

If anyone is curious as to what those markings on me a few days ago stood for... I am starting to feel like it is quite useless to hide from my past here, so I would be willing to discuss things in private.

[Simon had the word "FUGITIVE" prominent in several places across his body during Samkranti. If you're not sure whether or not you'd be on the friends filter, ping me and I'll say yay or nay!]

At least you didn't look like a giant open burning sore.

[Yeah, Katniss had not been thrilled with that. At all.]

Filter forever

[pompous_today]

That had to be distressing... to say the least.

How are your real injuries healing?

Re: Filter forever

[the_effect_she_has]

Just one of my favorite things about the castle - it's always getting interesting...

Anyways, I'm going on the journey so - I just wanted to let you know. That I was going.

[A pause.] They're healing okay. Thanks, for helping.

[pompous_today]

Always.

Well, if anybody can take care of themselves out in the wilderness, I know you can, Katniss. I will still worry about you and keep an eye out for your writing, though.

[the_effect_she_has]

[She gave him a grin, and a nod.]

You got it. I'll set up a message, just for you.

[pompous_today]

Glad to hear it.

Simon

[kungfuwitch]

Only if you'd like to talk about them. We were all exposed pretty dramatically.

Phoebe

[pompous_today]

I would, yes. I'd rather speak of the truth myself than have a garbled or untrue version forced out of me some other time.

Simon

[kungfuwitch]

Why don't you come over for tea, then. I'd rather that than talking over the journal.

[pompous_today]

I will, then. Thank you.

[kungfuwitch]

You're welcome. I'm free now if you'd like, though my door's always open.

[pompous_today]

And I am very appreciative of that.

Well wishing is well received. I hope we have no need of your particular skills, Simon.

_{{ You know, because that would mean people might be dying and that's not fun. ]}

[dictated forever]

[pompous_today]

I sincerely hope not, either. I know you have several medics along for the trip, at least, which does help put my mind at ease.

Re: [dictated forever]

[peacockherald]

Yes, but again, I hope we really have no need of them. I know a little Healing, but not enough to be of real use to major wounds...

[pompous_today]

And nobody knows what you will encounter out there, right? Well, again, I hope you will not have to worry.

[peacockherald]

We can hope, and I suppose there is no use in killing it so soon.

[pompous_today]

Right. And you may be successful in at least finding out what caused the earthquake.

[peacockherald]

I am sure we will at that. What awaits us there though... 

[pompous_today]

I'd say it probably won't be anything too terrible, but I know this place too well by now.

[peacockherald]

Again, I hope not to quash hope to soon, though I admit I waver between hope and dread more than I like.

[pompous_today]

I am starting to feel that way more and more the longer I am here, too.

[peacockherald]

I sometimes think the Castle plans it that way.
