It's too broken to fix now.

Is it?

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

Yes... It's... all gone. Nothing can save it. If I even try, innocent people are going to get hurt.

I'm leaving this place. Just... getting out.

[ticktabby.livejournal.com]

Seems like a lot of things happened since we last spoke. You okay?

I'm leaving, too. Nothing to stay for.

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

I... I've realized I can't stay here. If I do, I'll want revenge. And he'll make sure I take out innocent people to get it.

Better to just... leave it all behind.

Where are you going? Or don't you know yet?

[ticktabby.livejournal.com]

Good. Don't give him the satisfaction of turning you into what he wants.

Yes. No. I don't know. I might visit a friend I have in London. After that, I just wing it. I've never been good at staying in one place, anyway. You?

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

That's why I'm leaving. He doesn't value human life at all, and if I stay here... I won't either.

Probably winging it myself. I cashed out my bank account. I don't want any easy way for him to try and pursue. But I have plenty of money to keep me going until I find a place to settle in.

[ticktabby.livejournal.com]

I...don't. But I always find ways to come up with cash.

Listen, if you ever want to meet up or something, here's (http://ticktabby.livejournal.com/2547.html) my number. Let me know how you are and stuff.

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

Do you need some? Believe me, I'm more than willing to help you out. I've made... a relatively good fortune.

That sounds great. We should get coffee or something before you go to London. Gotham's only a couple hours from New York, and NYC might just be the place for me to start my wanderings.

[ticktabby.livejournal.com]

Nah. I have no qualms about taking other people's money or stealing it unless I like 'em. Go figure!

Definitely. I was thinking about delaying my trip a day or two, anyway. We could have the fun we were talking about.

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

I'm much the same way.

We could. I could probably use some fun at this point.

[neveranyeasier.livejournal.com]

Then get out.

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

I... am.

My accounts are cashed out, I have a suitcase packed...

[neveranyeasier.livejournal.com]

Then you've got a blank slate ahead of you.

Good luck.

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

Hopefully I won't screw it up.

Thank you.

[star-core.livejournal.com]

I doubt it.

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

I know it.

[star-core.livejournal.com]

Then why is it?

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

Any way I try and fix it, innocent people will be hurt and killed. I would rather retain my sense of value on human life than fix things by taking revenge.

[star-core.livejournal.com]

I don't see how revenge would fix anything.

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

Good for you.

[star-core.livejournal.com]

Don't blame me, you haven't explained much.

[questionorigin.livejournal.com]

I didn't know I was required to tell my life story to a stranger, particularly one who manages to sound condescending on his first remark to me.

[star-core.livejournal.com]

I wasn't, you're not, but you shouldn't expect me to know what's happened either.

[arkhams-dr.livejournal.com]

You can go where you want, but you can never leave. Gotham is there with you, everywhere you go. It's in your blood. It will wait for you, and so will I.
