PIRATE TEAM, ASSEMBLE /conch

[redmarksthespot]

[This is the five of you all getting the same terse phone call:] Come to the house. We have to talk.

[... after which the nice captain hangs up before you can object and sits and waits. :|]

[yellowhasthechest]

That all depends on him.

[redmarksthespot]

[... nope see now I need to punch something! whatever, Don or Gai can fix a hole in a wall]

He's here, isn't he?

[yellowhasthechest]

For now. That's not a guarantee that he's not going to just abandon --

[You are frustrating as shit, you know that? Let's try this again.] That isn't a guarantee he won't do it again. I can't trust that he won't. I'm not stopping him from coming back but I'm not going to go chasing after someone who doesn't want to be here, either. I'm not setting myself up like that.

[redmarksthespot]

And that's why I have to deal with him being gone.

[yellowhasthechest]

You don't get to pin his decisions on me.

[Standing up.]

[redmarksthespot]

You gonna walk away?

[yellowhasthechest]

Are you done yet?

[redmarksthespot]

I'm not losing anyone else.

[yellowhasthechest]

You're not losing me. I actually plan to come back for the night.

[redmarksthespot]

So does he.

[yellowhasthechest]

Then what are you bitching about?

If he's back, what does it matter to you that I'm upset with him if everyone's back in the house again?

[redmarksthespot]

I thought I told you. I'm not losing any of you again.

[yellowhasthechest]

I'm not going anywhere. Apparently, he's coming back. Are any of the others planning on running off that you know of?

[redmarksthespot]

Better not be.

[yellowhasthechest]

Then relax.
