Been a while since I've heard from either of you, but as far as I've seen, the names are still here.  [Excluding Tucker...]

Are you guys still alive? [Yes, that might be some worry in his voice. York did give him a responsibility to keep an eye on them.]

I'm here. Don't know about Tex.


Tucker left.

I'd suspected as much with Tucker. I was more talking to you and Tex. Haven't heard from her lately?

No

[and guess who's not taking either turn of events well. At least he hasn't been completely holed up in his room or rage-quit out to outposts... so that has to count for something.]

[dontpatr0nizeme]

She should still be here, as long as the name plate is. The place works in odd ways, Church.

[originalcopy]

I know.


She took off after Omega got her to kill Meg. I haven't been able to find her since.


Also, We kind of had a fight.

[dontpatr0nizeme]

Church, short of the castle sending her away, she'll be back. No matter what you fought about. She will always come back to you.

[originalcopy]

Fuck her. I spent almost three weeks in the dungeon because of her.

[dontpatr0nizeme]

Church, I know you don't mean that... You need Tex.

[originalcopy]

...

Fuck you

I don't need Tex. God I'm not completely fucking pathetic you know.

[Only he does need her and between losing her at Blood Gulch and then here, he knows it now. It's just hard to have Wash put it out there like that. Tucker knew it, Wash knows it... everyone figured it out before he did.]

[dontpatr0nizeme]

Church, you don't need to be pathetic to need someone. Really.

Even I needed people. And if you say a word regarding that to anyone... I will kill you.

[[OOC: Sorry about the belated reply.]]

[originalcopy]

Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.

I just, I wish I knew if she's okay. [Sure, she's the single biggest bad ass he's ever known and even to him, the idea of him worrying about her is kind of laughable... but he does.]

((OOC: No worries!))

[dontpatr0nizeme]

Thanks.

I know you do. I feel the same way, only not for the same reason.

[originalcopy]

oh yeah?

...

...what's your reason?

[dontpatr0nizeme]

A lot of it is that York wanted me to keep watch over you guys, since you can't escape to the Dead Zone like he and Carolina did.

the rest of it, you don't need to worry about.

[originalcopy]

I don't huh? [skeptical Church is skeptical.]

So uh, do you think they made it? To New York?

[dontpatr0nizeme]

I have my reasons, and none of them are harmful to you or Tex.

I hope so. But whatever happened, wherever they are, at least they're free of this place.

[originalcopy]

Yeah, there is that.

Hey uh, thanks for checking in... even if it's only because York told you to.

[dontpatr0nizeme]

It's better for them out there. But not everyone can leave.

It's not just that he asked. But the fact that York wants to know that you are okay doesn't hurt, Church.

[originalcopy]

[mutter mutter... look he's trying to be thankful here, it's not exactly easy for him you know.]

[dontpatr0nizeme]

[Amused] You're welcome, Church.
