The Hidden Door Chat Thread

Ciro nodded. Judging by the silence, it'd taken a lot for her to admit that. No one liked admitting they weren't okay.
Especially not those who were used to only looking to themselves for help.
Meeting her gaze, he found that it was forced, and looked away for her.
"It's hard to fix."
He left the slot for the direct object, the receiver of the fixing, wide open. They had to fix others, they had to fix themselves, and now they had to fix the world.

It was hard to do it all.

"There's a man back home," Ciro began suddenly, surprising himself probably more than she was. "Señor Serrano. He had a good life, good job, great family. But he sure loved his drink. Then he lost everything good until all he had left was his alcohol. His wife gave him the option to drop the drinking or be kicked out."
Why was he telling her this? It wasn't even entirely relevant; certainly Hana and the others weren't irredeemable alcoholics. But he got the distinct notion Aella didn't want to talk about herself. So Ciro the storyteller was going to fill the lull.
"He got kicked out. Now he roams the streets with never more than a dozen pesos in his pockets, a headlamp around his neck, and always, always, that wretched bottle not far from his lips. In the rare event he's sober, h-he calls me…” Unexpectedly, Ciro teared up. It was the first time in a whole few days that he’d lost it over the life the vortex had taken him from. And, weirdly enough, it was Señor Serrano that got him crying. “…he calls me his son. But, the thing is, he could have his own sons back- and his daughters. All he has to do is drop the bottle in his fist. But he won’t. He will not, and what he also will not do is admit he’s going about anything wrong. He’s got his pride.” He shook his head, but he kept his eyes open and let the dim world spin around him. “Pride. People and their pride.”
This is so beautiful at it made me emotional and I love it

hsghjdhgj thanks, but I don't even know why...it's just honest.
Ciro's supposed to be so very honest and I've neglected his true self so much.


speaking of someone else I've neglected I've literally forgotten that Colby exists for about five straight months!

Cam violently sliced the mysterious meat and chewed her forkful thoughtfully while he spoke.
“Ya know,” she said. “I want to get home more than anything, but it might not happen. I mean, I sure hope it does, but this isn’t like September anymore. We’re not even on Earth anymore.” She sighed.

How do you expect Kipp to react to this? Cause.... it's not good. Was that your intention?

No... but I think that’s what Cam would do. She’s a very optimistic person but she’s not very faithful in the group’s abilities to achieve this level of impossible.
 
"You think I don't know that?" He said coldly. "I'm not stupid." He knew he shouldn't have sat down. He really wasn't in the mood for conversation. He knew getting home was near impossible, but he had to have something to cling to. Why did Cam feel the need to take away the only thing he had left to hope for? Kipp sighed, pushing himself up from the table and looking at some random object in the distance. "I'm..." He was going to lie, and say he had to sleep, but he knew despite how tired he was he wouldn't be able to, and he didn't want to have to confine himself to the bedroom upstairs. "I'm gonna go, track down Take or something."
NO OH MY GODS THATS A TERRIBLE IDEA KIPP
