Public - forward dated to Thursday

[umgekehrt]

[Stildyne spent some time collecting a filter of important people; it got ridiculously large and he was still worried that someone was left out. So have a public post.]

I haven't got a pithy way to say this, but I've given in my notice to the Admiral. I'm heading back to Jurisdiction. I'll likely be back; you can't get a miracle just anywhere, and I'm likely to need one or two in the coming years. But I'm not fit for duty any longer, and I can't put off what needs to be done.

I'm staying on till Sunday. There's things that need to happen. We need a new Warden to help Connor out in the gym, at least one. And the Zero guard rotas will need to be updated.

Also I can't take most of my belongings home with me, so if anyone wants some tapes of an adult nature, or an art-book likewise, stop by the room, would you?

[most_feared]

I think I'm good in the adult content department, but I wish you luck, buddy.

[He got himself a nickname.]

[umgekehrt]

Take care of your bureaucrat, would you? And if you're out adventuring and run into the Langsarik fleet, ask after me.

[most_feared]

I could bring you the man in the moon. That might be easier. [A joke at Narvin's ability at landing himself in trouble.]

I'll do that.

[Private]

[timesbureaucrat]

[Narvin is awkward at good byes, and awkward at thank yous, and now he feels he has to do both at once because he may not get a chance to say thank you later.]

About Braxiatel...

[He looks to the side, looks to the ground.]

Thank you for taking care of him. And taking care of the...situation that arose between him and me. I may not like him, but he is my colleague and I'm grateful that you saw him through to graduation.

[There's the first awkward out of the way. Now for the good bye.]

You still owe me a favour, you know. For the information on Gallifrey and Rassilon. I expect to see you again so I can collect sometime.

[Close enough to good bye.]

[Private]

[umgekehrt]

I know. Still glaring at me from my mental ledger. Obviously I'll need to make good.

[Cough. Ugh. Goodbyes, who the hell came up with them.]

Take care of yourself. Keep the Agent from working too hard. Try not to, yourself.

[Private]

[truth_is_cold]

A wise man once said that "every person above the ordinary has a certain mission that they are called to fulfill." Good luck with yours in the future.

[Private]

[umgekehrt]

And us of and under the ordinary, too.

I hope I'll get the chance to see you again. They just don't make rear ends like yours where I'm going.

[Humor? Hah? Makes this less of a misery? ...no.]

[scentbombed]

You're leaving?

Oh.

[umgekehrt]

Yes.

[What are goodbyes; they weren't part of any Fleet training. To hell with all of this.]

I'll miss the drinking and the gossip.

[Private]

[lastmanstanding]

[Hoffman is full of feelings. However. He understands. If anything the last flood with his inmate has shown him that he understands.

This place can build inside you, destroy you. rip you apart. He just wasn't aware of it. He buried it down deep and seeing Seth experience it has made him think.

And now this.]

...Holding you to that. Coming back. Once you're settled of course. Better come and visit too.

[A lot of emotions]

[Private]

[umgekehrt]

I'll do what I can. When you graduate that inmate of yours you ought come visit yourself.

...I'd been holding out for an inmate because I wanted you to have some freedom. I thought if I could make the deal for Angelina's life you wouldn't have to stay somewhere you weren't happy.

But you've got yourself on track. You don't need me.

[trenchcoatedly]

[Castiel considers what to say for a long time.]

Are parting gifts acceptable per your customs?

Re: private

[umgekehrt]

I haven't got customs. But I can't take much with me.

[sharpememory]

What, you don't want to give my face a goodbye kiss?

[umgekehrt]

[It's like snarking at a brick wall.]

Not without Prefect behind it, he being the gentle that it will hurt to lose.

[scarlet_discord]

...oh.

[The good ones always leave. She's not even surprised at this point.]

Can't say I blame you.

[umgekehrt]

I'll try to get back, once life has settled.

[nolongerhollow]

You are leaving?

Ah, well, you will be missed. Do you mind if I come visit once I graduate?

[umgekehrt]

I'd be vastly disappointed if you didn't.

[thestarspangledman]

If you still need someone to look after the gym, I can.

[umgekehrt]

Would you please? With Bennett and I gone it's just down to Sarah Connor.

And someone has to put up the new bags.

[omar]

Surprised to see you don't have many takers on that last bit. Unless they shy and keepin' it quiet.

[umgekehrt]

So'm I. [The comm pans across a sad array of soon-to-be-abandoned all-male discs and the finer graphic novels of Touko Laaksonen.]

Some of these were gifts, and the art books I got in Paris. It'd be a shame if they were just to go.

[strangehistorian]

I hope to see you again, Chief.

[umgekehrt]

And you likewise.
