An Announcement. [Network - Audio Only]

Date: January 2nd
Characters: Walter Weekes, via some still-unwritten Number


[There'd been several seconds' worth of internal debate, whether to put this on the Network at large, send it to everyone's known Number individually to make it less public, or even to mention it at all.

Walter's voice is clear, but it's obvious there's effort behind that. He sounds... resigned, exhausted, generally unhappy.]

Has anyone else tried to contact Jim? My own attempts have been... unsuccessful. Including through his Number.

[He'd checked at Jim's workplace, too, but the only answers there were annoyingly vague. Either the man'd gone ghosted, or he was out of the country.

And Walter can't shake the thought that he could have had something to with it, as irrational as it might come across. (At least Jim won't have to remember dying, anymore, unless until he comes back.)

What a way to begin the New Year, huh?]

makes sense

Then he might have gone outside the boundary. Forgot about all this. Didn't bring a cell phone, or else doesn't recognize the number on it anymore so isn't picking up.

[He looks and sounds apologetic.]
scarsolderthanyou: (thinking)

Sorry, kiddo.

[He gives Walter's shoulder a sympathetic pat.]

I could try to give him a call, if you like. He knew me before all this shit started, though he might be surprised to hear from me.
scarsolderthanyou: (patience)

We'll see how it goes.

[Sam heads back to his car, where he left his cell phone.]

I'll at least leave him a message even if he doesn't pick up. He ought to still have my number-- I gave him lessons, once, in flying.

Hey, it's not like I've got anything better to do.

[He does flash the kid a sympathetic sort of smile over his shoulder, though.]

This shit is messing with all of us in its own ways.
scarsolderthanyou: (curious)

Unless you need company.

[He's offering, if Walter wants it.]
scarsolderthanyou: (patience)

[personal profile] scarsolderthanyou 2019-02-13 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
You go for a little walk, then, and I'll wait here at the car. I can take you somewhere for ice cream or whatever the kids these days like doing.

[He's only about half-teasing there.]
scarsolderthanyou: (thinking)

[personal profile] scarsolderthanyou 2019-02-15 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Doesn't mean I won't do it if it looks like you could use it.

[He shrugs, as if it's no big deal. (It's not, really, but.)]

I'm retired. I don't have a lot else to do, so it's no trouble.
scarsolderthanyou: (Default)

[personal profile] scarsolderthanyou 2019-02-19 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
It's up to you. I'm not going to force you to go anywhere with me if you don't want me to. But if you need somebody, I'm offering.

[Last chance. He'll let Walter go, if he gets turned down this time.]
scarsolderthanyou: (smile)

[personal profile] scarsolderthanyou 2019-02-23 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
[That gets him a nod and half a smile.]

Hop on in, then.

[He pats the hood of his car.]

Unless you'd like to take your walk first.
scarsolderthanyou: (smile)

fade-out is good! :)

[Sam gives him a couple pats on the shoulder in response, then heads around to the driver's side.

Ice cream, here they come. With luck it'll even make Walter feel better.]
