012 | dictated | back dated to the 7th

[Usually when Apollo doesn't see his husband for a few days it's because he's lurking around the town knocking out the teeth of anyone who dared to engage in criminal activity. So when a week went by without word, it didn't bother him. But as time went on he got increasingly more worried, until one day he decided to check for sure.

He really should have expected it. He's seen the way this place drags people in, only to eventually discard them. In time it was eventually going to be either the Midnighter or him. Selfishly, he just wished it would be him. A few hours later, after giving the news time to sink in-he wasn't brooding, he doesn't do that-he opens the journal to make the announcement.]

For those of you that knew him, the Midnighter has been sent back home. [There, short and sweet and right to the point. He didn't have the energy for anything more.]

I could use a drink. You in?

[ :'( ]

Is that your husband?

Yeah.

Leave it to the bastard to disappear right when I was getting too comfortable.

That sounds like the castle's doing in that case.

Don't give the castle all the credit now. My husband has always had impeccable timing. [Or crappy timing, depending on your point of view.]

It's always kind of a mixed blessing when people leave. On the one hand they're gone, but on the other hand ... they've escaped.

If by escaped you mean let out.

But, I do feel a little better about it thinking he's home looking after our daughter.

[They have a kid? He didn't know that.] Better that than have her show up here. Kids in this place is just depressing.

[That makes him think of Goku.] Yeah, no kidding. But at least if she was here I could keep an eye on her. Trouble always seems to find her.

They say when we come here, time freezes back home. So she's probably okay.

I know that, in theory. But that's different from actually knowing. I've never been sent home to test it out.

You and me both. But I think I'd rather just take people's word for it than fret constantly.

I guess. Plus, there's the fact that fretting is hell on the skin.

No kidding. I'm always worried about something, and look at me.

Trust me, I've seen plenty worse off than you.

Nice of you to say.
