... Jesus. All right, since it looks like we're all gonna die anyway, I may as well do this now. I'm taking a vote - who agrees that Fear asshole is a complete dick?

Also, not that it really matters, but was anyone else in Vancouver before you ended up here? Humor me.

It's a big park up in Vancouver. Lots of huge, old trees.

[She smiles sharply, rubbing at her temple.]

Trust me, if I get outta this place, I'm staying as far the fuck away from Canada as I can get. Who knows, maybe I'll give LA a shot. Not like I've got anywhere else to be.

[As homesick as she feels for Chicago, it's still too weird to think about going back. She's spent too many years there, with Andy, and Kennedy too, and it's a big city, but there are still too many ghosts waiting for her around corners and down darkened alleys.]

Staying out of Canada sounds like a plan, actually.

[He'll probably do the same for the foreseeable forever; his only reasons to return to the country are pretty gone now, after all.]

You should; at least LA is warm like, all the time. I'm pretty over snow at this point.

[Nick laughs weakly.]

Yeah ... I always feel like winter in Chicago's never gonna end, but it always does, eventually. It just takes forever, and it feels even longer when you're right in the middle of it, y'know? This kinda feels the same.

[Except maybe this winter really will last forever - or until they all die, it's more or less the same thing.]

I think it's the waiting for it that makes it feel like it takes so long, or something like that.

[He knows that the night on the mountain had definitely been the longest night of his life; it's hard to believe everything happened in only ten hours. Coming straight from it to this place, and even more now that it's snowing here too, just makes it feel like it's all been one long event.]

Yeah ... like when it's busy at work, the time goes by pretty quickly. But when it's slow, it just drags on forever. All that waiting. You'd think these assholes could at least give us a book to read or something.

[That's what she did, when work was slow - read, or sometimes write in the journal she kept in her purse, things she never let anyone read.]

Though I guess that would spoil their fun of watching us suffer.

If one of those guys was called Boredom I'd think it was on purpose, but they might just like... Not even realize. Though that's probably a good thing.

[Because if Fear figures out they're bored, he'll might decide to entertain them with monsters or something.]

They're both assholes anyway. I don't care which one actually brought us all here - if they won't send us back, they both suck in my book.

[Because Nick is totally rational like that, yep.]

[video]

[thechoiceisyours]

I wonder if they even know how to do it? Like, are they being assholes on purpose or are they just really incompetent?

[He's not sure which would be better.]

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised by either. Maybe it's both - Fear's an asshole just fucking around with us, and the other one, Hope, is an idiot.
