[If you were to visit the Girls' 8 cabin today, you would see a bag of random food sitting on a bench in the kitchenette, most of which looks half eaten. You would see bottles of nail polish scattered randomly around the floor. And in the middle of all that, you would see a girl curled up on a couch, apparently reading a magazine. Very slowly.]

((ooc: this post is mostly intended for more ridiculous babymutant bonding but anyone else Cessily has met may feel free to tag in too if you like! ON ANOTHER NOTE I have picked up a handful of threads for both Cess and Rick from where they left off before the weekend. If I missed one somewhere and you want to continue it, just PM me or email me with a link and I will be happy to. ♥))

I know.

So, um. You seemed pretty okay with it all. Do I have something like that to look forward to when I get home?

...no. No, you don't.

Figures.

You wouldn't want it; it made me feel like I was dying and people with physical mutations had it worse.

... Julian, what happens? Does it get any better?

You told your parents off. I already told you that.

And that's cool, but it's not really what I meant.

What do you want to know?

I want to know that everything gets better, but I don't think that's what you'd be able tell me.

...I guess Utopia's okay when it's not being invaded or whatever.

We're not at the school any more?

...oh, God. Cess, the school's trashed.

But it's... I mean, I know it was in a bad state, but we couldn't we just, I don't know, rebuild it a little? Everyone's there, we can't just leave.

It's ruined, Cess. They'd have to rebuild from scratch and that's not possible.

But why... but Julian, that's where everyone is.

I know, Cess! I was there when we put them there.

I just don't know why we'd leave them.

I was in a coma at the time and now it's just not an option to go back there.

What happened there?

We got kicked out of all of the States.

What?!

I'm hazy on the details because ...

[he sighs]

Once I got captured and lost a month of time in prison and once someone infected me with the Legacy virus and tried to use me to blow up the UN building. It's kind of blurred.

[listening to all that with increasing levels of horror and disbelief]

Julian, I...

[clearly just.... doesn't know what to say right now.]

It's okay! I survived, didn't I?

It's not okay... none of that is okay. One day I wish we could have more to say about something than just "I survived".
