[ Will knew that he pushed Flynn ruthlessly, even to the point of cruelty at times. Perhaps there was something about Flynn that reminded Will of himself, before he had tumbled to the frailty of his own mental instability.
Will hadn't let himself study it too closely, though he realized he might have to start factoring it in to their conversations in an attempt to stop being deliberately provoking.]
[Flynn chuckles at the screen, running his hand over his beard. Talking to Will is unpredictable, always. Sometimes their arguments drive Flynn through the roof and sometimes there's... this.]
[ He was often unpredictable to talk with, and sometimes you couldn't even be sure who was talking, depending upon how tightly one of the monsters was wrapped around his mind at the time.
But for the moment, Will is also chuckling softly. ]
I have my moments. Though usually they are unintentional.
[It's a nice change of pace and a welcome truce on this already exhausting day. If they can make it through a conversation without provoking and prodding at each other Flynn will gladly take it, no questions asked.]
I'll keep that in mind.
So how are you these days? Besides being unintentionally funny.
Maybe they were both just too run down by time at this point for either of them to pick up the habitual poking and prodding. ]
Mostly in one piece. Say what you will about House, but he's good for keeping our hides intact, so long as we don't give in to the urge to be too self-destructive with our experiments.
[Ugh, the experiments. Flynn will make an exception and skip that tidbit just for today, just for their little truce here but it doesn't stop him from pulling a face.]
Well, that's good to hear. Are people still trying to assassinate him?
[It's really somewhat of a morbid running gag at this point, the people going after House.]
I guess it's just too embarrassing to officially give up at this point?
[ When wasn't someone trying to assassinate House? It was a flipping past time around here; better than cable. ]
I don't know about embarrassing, but it might be our final death sentence. The fact that we keep trying may be all that is keeping us from being scrapped as a 'failed attempt' and a new batch of unfortunates drawn into this nightmare.

Horror is often in the eyes of the beholder. This town is suffering and it needs help.
no subject
Is that mutually exclusive? Horrible people often need help.
no subject
But I'm wondering how easy it is to lose ourselves in our own misery, that we forget the people who have already suffered greatly in all this.
Then again, I suppose you can make the argument that they're already gone, so why does it matter what happened to them.
no subject
[He considers that for a moment.]
I think it matters what happened to them. But I also think it matters what happens to us along the way.
no subject
They may be gone, though sometimes I wonder, but regardless our fates are intertwined now.
Horrible things happened to the people of this town, and someone tried to erase them ... sweep them under the bed like inconvenient bits of dust.

[If a separation of these two is even possible.]

[ Will didn't know that he had anything to go back too and he felt no desire to go home with someone else, as he'd heard Gabriel suggest.
Right now, Will's perfect end game was simply to keep anyone else from having to be dragged into this hell and put through these trials. ]

Might be on to something.

We might hurt ourselves if we agree on too much, too soon.

We've all been here too long.

Stop, stop, I can only agree with you for so long. This day was hard enough.

Norfinbury will implode on itself!
