[Video for the hell of it]

Considering what I've heard about past years, I guess this isn't so bad.

Happy Halloween.

Pleased to meet you, Allison.

How long have you been here, if I can ask that?

EEEE I don't think we have any others tho |D

[as_damaged]

About... nine months, give or take. You get surprisingly used to it.

we had a couple more before i swapped them out D:

[mamawallbreaker.livejournal.com]

I guess it's not too different from being off-planet, only by force.

ahhh well <3

[as_damaged]

If being off-planet involves random, temporary disasters every few days, then more or less.

[mamawallbreaker.livejournal.com]

Not every few days, but we have our own share from time to time.

[as_damaged]

You're with Starfleet, too? I can't believe I'm asking that.

[mamawallbreaker.livejournal.com]

I'm a Starfleet officer. So was James' father. You can say it runs in the family.

[as_damaged]

From what I've seen of the show I understand, then, you're right. It probably isn't all that different.

Just, with no way out.

[mamawallbreaker.livejournal.com]

So I can't take my son with me? I know, he's an adult now, but you know, your kids are always your babies.

[as_damaged]

It's unlikely, I'm afraid.

[mamawallbreaker.livejournal.com]

I was afraid you'd say that. I guess it's for the best anyway. With him being a captain, I doubt he want his mother hovering around on her days off. He won't even let me call him Jimmy anymore, much less worry over him.

[as_damaged]

People do leave, from time to time, but I don't think there's any way to predict it. Or to affect it.

I'm sure he's glad for your visit, though.

[mamawallbreaker.livejournal.com]

So how do people leave if they can't choose how and when?

It seems like it, even if I have to remind him of how many hours of labor I went through when he starts feeling like testing his boundaries.

[as_damaged]

They just... do. Sometimes they know a little beforehand, long enough to say goodbye, but by and large they simply vanish.

It's nice that you had the chance to see him. To tell you the truth, I think I unsettle him a little.

[mamawallbreaker.livejournal.com]

That has to be hard on them, just to pick up and leave without a change to say goodbye.

Why would you think that?

[as_damaged]

I think it might be harder on the people left behind.

Put yourself in his place. Dealing with doubles is a little odd, especially when the person you know isn't at hand.

[mamawallbreaker.livejournal.com]

I would expect people get attached to each other here. Any port in a storm and everything.

Understandable, though he hasn't tried to backtalk you, right? It seems he feels he has the right to do it to me now, but if he does it to you, just tell him I gave you permission to set him straight.

[as_damaged]

And when people leave, most of the time you won't see them again.

He's always been polite. If it becomes an issue, though, I'll keep that in mind.
