Thirty Third PSI

[Well. It had been a day or two since being rescued from Westport, and Lucas finally felt well enough to return to his daily activities. After the first day of binging, the thought of eating more food had been slightly nauseating, actually. When he's finished with school, he will make a call about something that's been on his mind since returning.]

Ah. Hi, everyone. This is Lucas. Um. First off, I'd like to say thanks to whoever it was that brought us all back. . . . I really don't want to think about what would have happened to us if you hadn't come. I think Vince said your name was Mr. Doctor...

The other thing is, I'd like to talk to the people who were in Westport last year. Did any of you take a look around for more clues . . . ? I guess no hazmats means no clues, and I don't really mind that, but. I know I didn't find anything important. . . . There were a few things, though - Some things that were odd. There wasn't a church or a library. And, Kay, do you remember the television in the house you hid in last year? I went back to the same house, and . . . there wasn't anything there. But I know it was the same. The place where the TV had plugged into, it was missing entirely.

. . . I'm not sure what any of this means, but it might be important to think about.

It's alright. What matters now is you're here and you're okay.

Thanks. . . . You probably should worry about me the least of all, though. I'm pretty good about healing myself when I get hurt.

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

Probably. But that doesn't stop me from being a little worried, yanno?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Well. I'm sorry again, then. I'll try to be more careful in the future . . .

How was everything here? Were you alright?

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

... Let's not talk about it.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

W-What? That bad? . . . Then I should have been here to help.

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

Not to be rude, Lucas, but I said I didn't want to talk about it.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Um. OK . . .

[rapier-ex.livejournal.com]

... Just gotta keep pressing on.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Right.

I'm glad to be back, anyway.

It's good to have you back.
