40th Resurrection

[Mail call! Theo's at the mail box on his way home when he notices there's been a delivery. Inside is a small envelope with his name on it. Great, more bullshit from home, he thinks. Whatever it is, is small and most likely metal.

He takes it inside and opens it at the kitchen. Out of it falls a small .38 caliber bullet which clatters to the table. Looking at it closely, it's smeared with blood. Theo stares at it blankly. He immediately knows what it is.]

You sick sons of bitches...

[Family members are free to come across this scene.

Later, Theo can be found walking around town, glad the weather is finally warming up. He's looking rather sullen, but accompanying are his two crow familiars. One flies ahead, or slowly around him, and the other sits on his shoulder. He's also talking aloud to them, and they chatter back.]

No, I really can't explain it. I missed a lot of it. There was a highway, and then a robot, and... no, you're not going out to the highway. There's nothing there.

Except maybe bears.

[Hi my name is Theo Crawford and I'm paranoid with a mildly guilty conscious.]


No, I didn't, okay?

Why not? I mean... I bet you got pretty screwed by Grady, didn't you? Did you even live through it? I know that things went pretty badly for most of the people who sided with him eventually.

I knew he wouldn't come though, but I don't really care. It's over now anyway.

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

Well, we might have learned some stuff at any rate.

[she scowls at Theo.]

You know, you might do better in life if you were a little nicer though. You fell for the town's game when you sided with grady, they just wanted us fighting and killing each other, instead of dealing with the crap they were doing. Don't let them sucker you.

Do you really think I'm that stupid? I knew exactly what was going to happen! I didn't fall for anything!

[flameyedhunter.livejournal.com]

I'd say anyone working for grady was pretty stupid.

And I'd also say I thought better of you. Way to be a disappointment.

[His eyes narrow. There's about a hundred things he wants to say but he can't get them out. So he'll do what he usually does in this situation - storm away.]

Pff. running away! Coward.

Come back later when you're willing to talk, I'll be waiting.
