Open - Every verse but demon

[a_time_slip]

I don't know how to live?  I've been living for... a really long time, I think I know what it is. 

Lynn's moved out.  She'll be staying at my Dad's.  I sent Xander and Frankie somewhere to be safe and now I'm all alone.

Someone help.  A job, or orders, someone to rescue.  ANYTHING to get my mind off of this.

*he doesn't know what to say but here he is*

*She looks up, surprised that he's there, and very glad that she isn't alone*

I'm sorry. I want to give up.

[animus-nocendi.livejournal.com]

Why?

[a_time_slip]

Lynn went to live with my father... she's all I had left.

[animus-nocendi.livejournal.com]

Why did she do that?

[a_time_slip]

We had a fight, and she said that she was going to move out until I learned how to be a person. That I didn't need her.

[animus-nocendi.livejournal.com]

...and you let her? Who's the parent here?

[a_time_slip]

What was I supposed to do? She's evil when she's where she doesn't want to be.

[animus-nocendi.livejournal.com]

Evil. Right. That's called being a spoiled brat.

[a_time_slip]

She's not as spoiled as you think, but with a child like her I have to be careful.She may burn the block down.

[animus-nocendi.livejournal.com]

I think you have a discipline problem.

[a_time_slip]

How do you suggest I discipline her?

[animus-nocendi.livejournal.com]

Find a British nanny.

I wish I could help better than suggesting to get wasted.

Want to talk?

[a_time_slip]

How do you fill your time?

[lostinthefog]

... with getting wasted.

Well, not all the time, but quite a lot recently. I'd rather do something useful, find a new job, anything, but. Where to start?

[a_time_slip]

I was supposed to get you training, wasn't I?

I'm sorry, I've been self-absorbed.

[lostinthefog]

That's nothing you have to apologize for. It's more than understandable.

I'd still like to get that training, though, but it can wait.

[a_time_slip]

I'll get you set up for training.

Maybe... I'll study. Or read. I feel like I've got no purpose.

[lostinthefog]

Thank you ... that would be great.

I'm not sure if reading or studying will provide much distraction. Maybe ... I don't know. A trip with your boat? Go to a place you've never been before?

[a_time_slip]

What... I'll try that, though I'm not sure what to do when I get there.

[lostinthefog]

Well, you could meet people, learn about them, about a different culture or something. Depends on where you go.

... or you could get wasted there. Always an option.

[a_time_slip]

Right, I'll... find somewhere.

[lostinthefog]

I'm not that good at giving advice, I'm afraid.

But if you need some company, I'm always here.

[a_time_slip]

I need company, please.
