Camp Drop Post

[ihulk]

[Today, just outside of Camp's barrier there is a kid with a backpack on his shoulder. He looks pretty confused, like he doesn't know how he got there.]

Wait, what?

Can you come back through?

[ihulk]

I tried! It won't budge.

[pushing against the barrier with all of his strength]

[subourbon]

[... hesitating for a second, but then steeling her nerves!!! and pushing on her side of the barrier as well! ... without success]

[ihulk]

Brianna's gonna be pissed.

[subourbon]

How are you feeling?

[ihulk]

Weird? We've been in Camp for so long. What am I supposed to do now? We were supposed to stay together.

[subourbon]

Maybe they're just letting you out first to help get things settled for both of you.

[ihulk]

But I don't know when she's coming too.

[subourbon]

I'm sure it will be soon, Jack. Time works differently here, right?

[ihulk]

Yeah. But...I still know it might be a while.

[subourbon]

I wish I had a solution for you but... [helpless hand movements!]

[ihulk]

There isn't a solution. It just sucks.

[subourbon]

... you're right, it does suck.

[ihulk]

...I don't want to leave.

[subourbon]

I know you don't. I don't really want you to go either, but it doesn't look like we get a say in this.

[ihulk]

I'll...I don't know. Come back or something.

[subourbon]

If you can't come back, you're going to Toronto, right?

[ihulk]

Yeah. That's where we said we'd go.

[subourbon]

I think it's better if you go ahead, Jack. It's not safe for you to just sit out there on your own.

[ihulk]

But I don't want to go.

[subourbon]

I know you don't.


... I'll stay here with you until you're ready.

[ihulk]

...Just for a little while. Okay?

[subourbon]

Take as long as you need. I don't have anywhere to be right now.

[ihulk]

I won't ever leave if you say that.

[subourbon]

Oh, Jack...

[WISHES SHE COULD GIVE HIM A HUG :( ]
