034 - [Video] - GRADUATION DAY.

Well, seems like it's graduation season. We've had a few lately. [The video opens on Perry, standing outside a door, some time after this conversation. He looks almost embarrassed but a smile plays over his lips. He swings the door open and turns the camera around to show the room's contents: it's a full bathroom, attached to his shitty motel room cabin.] Yeah, that's actually in my room. I'm not normally a bandwagon guy; looks like my timing just lined up right this time.

I'm done here. [He closes the door and turns the camera back on himself. He shakes his head.] Nearly three years since I arrived and I never thought I'd do it, but I actually met the Admiral's standards and graduated. It was goddamn hard, too, no bout-a-doubt it.

The system is fucked up here, you all know that. All the shit we go through... [He shrugs.] It's not this place that got through to me though. It's the people, despite the Barge shit. All the work they did. They're the thing you pay attention to. Took me a long time to realize that.

I'll be leaving soon. I've got stuff I've got to deal with, back home.


[Private to Arthas]

Sorry, man. It's the only way off this tub.

[Private to Guerrero]

You're a good dude. Get yourself out of here.

[Private to Arthur]

I know I wasn't an easy guy to deal with. Thanks for sticking with me.

Well, I'm sure I had my moments, too. [Let's face it, Arthur was a bit of a shit warden sometimes.]
paradoxlol: (pleased)

See Ariadne. Consider a change in profession. [A pause.] I'm thinking about going straight.

No more stealing from dreams. [Maybe. He's still not sure.]

[There's a pause. WHAT WILL HE DO WITHOUT EXTRACTION? But he owes it to Perry to at least try another path.] Yeah. Okay.
paradoxlol: (go to sleep)

I guess it is.

Good luck out there.
paradoxlol: (uh huh)

[Arthur chuckles.] Yeah, I think I got used to being around you, too.
paradoxlol: (sitting around)

Private

[personal profile] paradoxlol 2013-06-21 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
I'll keep an eye out for you.

Bye, Perry.

[And Arthur cuts the feed. Time for him to go home-- he's got people waiting for him and a job to finish up.]
