[Guess who's done being a spoiled brat by now? This kid. No more whining from him about being stuck here this time. Actually, he looks like he's in a pretty damn good mood. Because he is. This is also known as 'guess who's slipped back into old habits and is high again'. Yeah.

Dyme's half hanging over the side of the bed in his room, holding the camera in both hands. The room's pretty dark except for the glow coming off of his Crystalden clothes, but that's good enough to see his face clearly, at least. He seems fine if you don't look too closely at his eyes, which are a little glazed, pupils dilated.]


So you know, I've been here a while now, and I've been thinking. This place isn't really so bad in some ways, you know? It's pretty cozy, actually, at least if you're not really in a hurry to get home. Lucky for me I'd been about to take a vacation anyway so I'm not missing anything. [He grins.]

But hey, there's a point here, and the point is, how many of you have a sweetheart back home? Or here? Hey, there's nothing else to do here right, so might as well talk about something. I'll even start to get the ball rolling.

The guy I'm missing back home was my boyfriend for like...I don't even know, months. And then one day he broke my ribs and kicked me out. I miss him 'cause I wish I could break his face. [That grin says he's joking...uh, maybe.] He was a looker though, had to pry the chicks off of him.

So who wants to go next?

Yes. That's -- how it's worked for me a lot lately. . .

I'm sorry, I've probably made you all upset now.

I see.

I don't know if I really helped any. . .but I suppose it's at least somewhat nice to know you're not the only one in this situation.

Yes, something like that.

I hope so. I -- think I need some hope that I can maybe see her again.

Still better than nothing.

Or somehow they'll end up here -- though I don't know how good that would be for Alice. She was prone to seeing things back home, and although I know her mental state is better now. . .

Me either. I'd rather just go home.

. . .I never thought I'd actually be MISSING Whitechapel.

[Though he doesn't, not really -- he just misses the girl who made living there worth it.]

Whitechapel was a miserable place to live. Full of crime, poverty, and

[Things he doesn't want to talk about.]

bad memories.

But it also has Alice, and I suppose I wouldn't mind seeing Dr. Wilson again. Or even the children. They were brats, but -- they'd gone through a lot.

Yes, exactly. Buildings are just that, but the people. . .

I really hope she's all right. I hope they're all all right.

Thank you. I'm sure the people you miss are all right too.

[He hopes, anyway, but one reassurance certainly deserves another.]

[Indeed.]

One day, we'll see them again, like you said. Until then. . .just treasure the memories.
