Living Quarters: John's room

by **John Hino** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 3:57 pm

John was sitting on his future self's old bunk, looking at the objects he had kept. His father's antique netsuke, a happy picture of him and Kaylee, and a necklace belonging to his sister.

"I hate this..." he sighed.

On her way from Will and Sara's room Robin passes John's door and after a moment's hesitation stops.

"Hey..."

by **John Hino** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 4:11 pm

John looked over.

"Hey," he answered, trying not to sound depressed.

by **Robin Stanton** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 4:20 pm

"Haven't seen you in a while." she tries to joke.

by **John Hino** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 4:23 pm

"Yeah, all off an hour ago," he half-chuckled.

by **Robin Stanton** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 4:26 pm

"You know what I mean."

by **John Hino** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 4:32 pm

"...Yeah... I do..."

by **Robin Stanton** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 4:38 pm

"Sorry about you and Mizuki..." she says quietly. "You know, on behalf of this awful future."

by **John Hino** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 4:56 pm

"It... tore a hole in me... him... didn't it? Losing her I mean."

by **Robin Stanton** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 5:01 pm

"Yeah. You never really got over it..."

by **John Hino** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 5:10 pm

"Which is why I have to get back and stop this... or die trying."

by **Robin Stanton** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 5:13 pm

"Seems to be what everyone's saying."

by **John Hino** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 5:23 pm

"Unlike some of us... I have nothing here."

by **Robin Stanton** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 5:31 pm

"I've been told it's not all it's cracked up to be."

by **John Hino** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 5:38 pm

"... I'm being selfish aren't I?"

by **Robin Stanton** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 5:47 pm

"I wouldn't blame you for it. Some had it worse than others..."

by **John Hino** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 5:56 pm

He looked at the photo and sighed with a slight smile.

"At least I had her..."

by **Robin Stanton** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 5:59 pm

"Compared to most you were lucky. I know that's not much, but... well it's something that keeps you going, you know?"

by **John Hino** » Thu Aug 19, 2010 6:02 pm

"Yes. It certainly is," he smiled.

by **Robin Stanton** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 2:12 am

"Sorry there isn't much to cheer people up with here." she smiles wryly.

by **John Hino** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 11:47 am

"I hadn't noticed," he smirked in return.

by **Robin Stanton** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 12:14 pm

"Wait till you see our Sentinel-Thrill-Ride though."

by **John Hino** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 12:17 pm

"Does it involve punching them in the face? If so, I've been on that ride."

by **Robin Stanton** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 12:19 pm

"If you're lucky and don't run into too many or one of the big ones, sure."

by **John Hino** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 12:37 pm

"The big ones?"

by **Robin Stanton** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 12:59 pm

"Yeah. They're mostly guarding Parliament and stuff like that but if you're really unlucky you could run into one of them."

by **John Hino** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 1:03 pm

"Luckily, I assume they're hard to miss."

by **Robin Stanton** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 1:19 pm

"Kinda, yeah. I still wouldn't recommend trying to get even remotely close to one though."

by **John Hino** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 1:51 pm

"Yeah, they'd identify me as a mutant a mile away."

by **Robin Stanton** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 4:38 pm

"That sounds about right. Maybe more."

by **John Hino** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 4:48 pm

"So... I hear you like to build things. Sounds like a good way to alleviate the boredom between fights."

by **Robin Stanton** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 4:52 pm

"I'm good at building stuff at least. Most of it is just keeping this place running or preparing something for going out there though..."

by **John Hino** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 5:01 pm

"You must appreciate having Talos around as a helping hand," he teased.

by **Robin Stanton** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 5:03 pm

"Just so you know, I could totally make him have a tea party with me." she boasts.

by **John Hino** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 5:16 pm

He laughed, "I bet you could."

by **Robin Stanton** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 5:20 pm

"But, uhm, yeah, he built most of the stuff here. I usually am the one going out there looking for stuff we can use."

by **John Hino** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 5:29 pm

"Or make the stuff bring itself."

by **Robin Stanton** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 5:38 pm

"If it's too big to carry, sure. It's really more useful for finding stuff that's buried under garbage though."

by **John Hino** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 5:43 pm

"I can't even imagine what it must be like to scrounge to stay alive."

by **Robin Stanton** » Fri Aug 20, 2010 5:55 pm

"I'm guessing you will soon enough."
