[Lucy is pacing her apartment, wringing her hands as she does. She passes by the piano in the living room and hits a couple of the keys before she turns to the device sitting on top of it.]

Okay, has anyone seen Jace lately? He's been gone since Sunday and yes I've checked the hall of missing. He's not there. I'm kind of worried because he usually stays in contact at least some what.

And on a happier note, was there goodness to be had for everyone with all of the visitors? I saw Hardison and I met someone who could have been my twin. It was awesome sauce. Harry didn't show up and...I'm kind of okay with that.

On what?

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Emo. You know, woe is me, my life sucks, the world sucks, I'm so depressed, everything is awful and I hate life feelings.

I'm expecting him to wear eyeliner and go totally black with the wardrobe soon.

[And a nose wrinkle]

Which might be kinda hot but more if it's a temporary thing than a lifestyle.

[thewildone]

Hey, I'm catching up on like...thirty-something years of slang.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

No judging here. Just informing.

[thewildone]

Informing is good.

So, uh...I know you know about the thing with Stephen that I didn't tell you about.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Yup. He told me. Things are good there, right?

[thewildone]

Yeah. Actually, really good. Like, we're definitely...together, I guess.

[Yes, that sounded very definite.]

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

[There is so much smiling here.]

Awesome sauce. He's a good guy so don't break his heart, kay?

[thewildone]

Yeah, well, I'll do my best.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Just so you know, he'll get the same 'don't break his heart' speech. I'm an equal opportunity heartbreak lecturer.

[thewildone]

All right. But, you know, I don't think it's something most people do on purpose.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

So I've heard but it doesn't really seem that way to me.

[thewildone]

I've had enough experience to see it from both sides.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

I guess I've only stuck around to see the one side. [She's probably broken more hearts than she wants to admit though.]

[thewildone]

And sometimes everyone just gets hurt.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

See, this why relationships suck. [Yes that is a pout]

[thewildone]

Yeah, but the alternative is being alone. Some people seem totally okay with that, but...

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

You can also do the friends with benefits and one night stand sort of thing.

[thewildone]

Yeah, but that's just sex. I mean, still pretty awesome, but not the same as having someone special. Or maybe I'm just starting to think different because I'm getting older.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

No, you've got a really good point. I just have a hard time getting past the whole relationships give people the power to hurt you thing. I mean, I adore you, Curt but if you'd decided that we just weren't having fun anymore and you wanted to kick me to the curb...the only thing that's bruised is my ego.

[thewildone]

I'm sure there's a line between casual and getting completely wrapped up in another person but based on past experience I can't say I have idea where that is. But I'm not the kind of person who writes songs about the times I've been--content, I guess--so maybe I need to get hurt.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

It's hard to tell where that line is. That's why I usually try to stay a long, long way away from it.

[And then she gives him a confused look.] So you want your heart broken to fuel your artistic angst?

[thewildone]

Look...there were plenty of times times I've gotten into things when I should have known better, so I guess I'm just not a 'knowing-better' kind of guy. And if I'm gonna have angst I might as well use it artistically.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

I agree. I mean heartbreak ought to be good for something besides Ben & Jerry's business.
