It occurs to me now that my birthday is probably coming up, seeing as it has already passed here once before. I was probably dead at the time-- Barge dead, that is, since I am already as deceased as can be-- or in a port, or lost in a flood. I don't know how old I would be... Thirty-two forever, or would I be approaching thirty-four now? I don't feel any older, physically; no wear and tear outside of injuries. Mentally, I suppose it's a different matter entirely.

It's odd to think that I've let my last birthday slip without any thought. But then, I hardly keep up with time at all any more. It's difficult to think of it continuing for me when I'm no longer part of any world. The only way I really ever track it, these days, is through this...

[There's a long pause as he looks over things in his journal and begins to do the math]

Oh, you have got to be joking. I could not have possibly--

[HAVE SOME OUTRAGE]

ONE HUNDRED ENTRIES?! I have been here for over a year; have I really done nothing more with my time than dawdle about with a journal like a teenage girl? This is what my afterlife is?













I could use something to drink. Right now.

[OOC: I've decided that West's a Scorpio, since it seems to fit his moody craziness, so YAY I GUESS THIS MEANS HIS BIRTHDAY'S COMING UP IN A COUPLE MONTHS LOL. But only Billy and probably Morgan would know that]

Tonight after dinner. Can you wait that long?

He hasn't spoken to me since.

I honestly don't know. He just didn't want to talk anymore and he told me to leave him alone.

...what? He didn't even bother explaining himself?

He still considers himself married.

Oh, that is rather problematic. Stay away from married men; they're more trouble than they are worth.

He was dead more than a lifetime before he came here.

Or they'll stay away from you.

It's for the best. They'll never actually 'leave their wife' or whatever other rubbish they spout out. Honestly, I'm rather disappointed in him.

Yeah.

Me too.

For what it's worth, I'm sorry he did that. He shouldn't have led you on.

He wasn't leading me on. It just -- for as long as he'd been dead I'm sure that means his wife passed on, too.

So I'm caught in this place where I want to respect that he's still in mourning and where I want to just grab him and shake some sense into him.

I-- um.

Has he expressed any interest in you? If he hasn't, it may be best to leave well enough alone.

Private

gimmethemap: (yeah)
From: [personal profile] gimmethemap
We were close, Henry.

Just -- not romantically. He seemed to be the last one to know.

So, what exactly do you wish to do with him?

Private

Date: 2009-09-08 05:39 am (UTC)
gimmethemap: (yeah)
From: [personal profile] gimmethemap
I wish I felt like I could trust him like I did before

Henry, I'd be happy if we could just talk the way we used to.

That may not happen easily. Was there anything else making things awkward before er... your talk?

Besides you and Libby jumping down his throat, you mean?

I didn't jump down this throat. I told him not to leave again because you had been insufferable the last time.

I didn't speak to him the day he came back. When I contacted him the next day he acted like he was mad at me. And then he wanted to know what you and Libby were getting at.

Whenever I tried to be delicate about it he just got angry, and then I finally just blurted it out.
