○ 67;

I was talking to a Mister Veidt the other day- and it made me think again.

I don't really know how to say it. And it's really not my place anyway.

Not many- well, really, not many of you know me... and I guess who I am isn't important.

Just, for those who might be reading.

This can be your second chance. This place can be that for you.

... And I guess that's it. Thank you.

I agree.

That's a good way of thinking about it. A second chance to make yourself a person you might not have had a chance to be otherwise.

... Exactly. A lot of times, the negative parts of this place come up. But, there's this, too.

So you're making a second chance for yourself? Is it working?

My name's Alex by the way, sorry, that was really rude of me.

A quiet life. I like it.

I'm Carmine.

I...know the feeling. A little. Sorta.

Have you been here a long time?

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

letslip on March 11th, 2009 10:22 pm (UTC)

... A long time, I guess.

Just before Thanksgiving- year before last.

feltlikeafreak on March 11th, 2009 10:55 pm (UTC)

That is a long time.

Do you think, like, even if we figure we have to leave here eventually, that what we do here counts? Like, if we fall in love or something.

... To us, it does.

There are many chances.

(Reply) (Thread) (Link)

letslip on March 11th, 2009 10:31 pm (UTC)

True. But this... is a good one.

worthyofhislove on March 11th, 2009 10:33 pm (UTC)

Yes. It is for those to take the right kind of benefit.

letslip on March 12th, 2009 12:08 am (UTC)

I hope many do.

Mm. A second chance to many.
A prison to others.

And home to a few of us.

letslip on March 11th, 2009 10:31 pm (UTC)

It's not a second chance for everyone, no.

One's hell if another person's Heaven.

There are no absolutes in this world.
Only point of views.

I suppose.

That's true, isn't it?

Mm.

You shouldn't apologize for saying so, you know.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

letslip on March 12th, 2009 06:35 am (UTC)

In the case it's not my place. Some people offend.

im_not_alice on March 11th, 2009 10:51 pm (UTC)

Well if you are wanting to meet new people, I am willing to offer a friendly face. Who you are is the most important thing in meeting someone! So naturally I'd want to know.

I'm Quinn. What's your name?

(Reply) (Thread) (Link)

letslip on March 12th, 2009 12:09 am (UTC)

That's... not quite the point.

But hello. I'm Carmine.

im_not_alice on March 12th, 2009 12:56 am (UTC)

I figured it wasn't an announcement on making friends, but at the least...making one could possibly make your day a little better. You sounded upset.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

letslip on March 12th, 2009 06:35 am (UTC)

Ah... did I? I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.

When you have the time.

I guess so... I thought about a lot of things while I was still in the mansion, too, I suppose...

Mm. When you have the time to think, you can wonder about a lot of things.

Is that what this place is for you, Carmine?

(Reply) (Thread) (Link)

letslip on March 12th, 2009 06:35 am (UTC)

... yes. I think so.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

silk_for_calde on March 12th, 2009 10:01 pm (UTC)

Then I am glad, that you were able to come here, though it isn't always a good place to be. That you were given a chance.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

letslip on March 12th, 2009 10:20 pm (UTC)

I'm very grateful.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

silk_for_calde on March 13th, 2009 01:44 am (UTC)

It might not be my place, but--

If... if you ever need to speak to someone, about this sort of thing... I am here to listen. If you need. That sounds odd and awkward, I'm sorry.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

letslip on March 13th, 2009 01:48 am (UTC)

It's alright. Anyone who wanted to know- about my past, my world. I would tell.

somekindofsin on March 12th, 2009 12:58 pm (UTC)

I'd like to believe that we're all given an infinite number of chances, but I suppose you're entirely right; the City offers a sort of blank slate, doesn't it?

(Reply) (Thread) (Link)

letslip on March 12th, 2009 06:32 pm (UTC)

It does. If you come here, and no one knows you.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

somekindofsin on March 12th, 2009 06:40 pm (UTC)

Do you believe slates can be emptied without jumping between worlds?

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

letslip on March 12th, 2009 06:43 pm (UTC)

It's harder.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

somekindofsin on March 12th, 2009 06:45 pm (UTC)

But not impossible?

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

letslip on March 12th, 2009 06:50 pm (UTC)

No, not impossible.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Link)

somekindofsin on March 12th, 2009 06:58 pm (UTC)

In that case, my apologies for questioning your... ah, activities prior to coming to the City. If you might consider emptying that particular part of the slate... well. I'd be most appreciative.
