❧ Two Roads Diverged in a Yellow Wood

[luministimods]

[Nothing much has changed in the interior of Dr. Caligin's office since Nathan gave everyone leave to make their decisions. Nathan is still there waiting by Lab #3. If they are returning from doing whatever around the spacestation, they'll notice that all of the photos on the wall have been removed and stacked neatly on the desk, along with all of Caligin's possessions that had been shoved into a desk drawer. (Of course, if one had never left the office, one would have seen him pulling all of the photos down.)]

If you have made your decision, please let me know now. And, uh, if you haven't for some reason and want to ask me something, I guess you can do that too.

So what have you decided?

[ooc: When your character is ready to leave, please write "Going home!" in the subject line of your comment and that will be your exit from the game for the season! And if your character is staying, please write "Staying in this universe!" in the subject line of your comment once you are done with your conversation with Nathan. (This will also be your "exit" from the game, but just in a different sense.)]

[Hawk took most of what he thought he'd need when they had to evacuate, but it doesn't hurt to double check. His hand is still bandaged when he gets back to the office, and he raises the other hand, smiling. He's fairly sure of his decision, but before that…]

…are you alright for help?

[luministimods]

[he nods] I have a few interested parties. I won't say no to more, but I know people do want to go home.

[desertdaggers]

…yeah. I'm afraid there's too much going on back home for me to feel confident I was giving everything I could, but I hope this works out.

…is this likely to happen again?

[luministimods]

I hope so too. And...well, that's what we're going to work towards. So it won't happen again. But I can't give any guarantees, not right now. [sorry Hawk, but he isn't going to sugarcoat it]

[desertdaggers]

[he's fine with that. Better to know there's uncertainty than have everything completely upturned again.] Then I'll wish you all the best of success.

[luministimods]

[he smiles, holding his hand out to Hawk] And you too. Good luck back home.
