❧ 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.)]

Of course. [he opens a little compartment on his hip, pulling out the handkerchief] I've kept it with me since you gave it to me.

[she's surprised--such an item seems a strange thing to carry in his metal suit. but she smiles] I hope you find it helpful. Good luck.

[vengefulagent]

[lightly, possibly even amused by her surprised expression] It's a protective charm. I'd hope the least it could do is its job. [he places it back into that compartment, closing it]

Good luck to you as well, Miss Hatter. [holds his hand out to her]

[fortune_sought]

[she smiles faintly at that] And hasn't it so far? [she also sincerely hopes it continues to]

[she accepts his hand] Good-bye, Agent Washington.

[vengefulagent]

[he gives her hand a careful squeeze before releasing it] Good-bye and...congratulations. You'll be a good mother.

[he gives her a nod of his head, then turns to walk away]
