The Roof, Friday evening

John trudged up to the roof, thinking.

Not so much thinking as trying not to think. Trying not to think about the imposter professor, not to think about Syd, not thinking about everyone else who left.

Always leaving.

John stepped up on the ledge, toes hanging over.

Self-fulfilling prophesy said he'd live to defeat Skynet. Didn't say if he'd be directing from the battlefront or from a wheelchair.

He looked down at the ground 6 floors below. He hocked a loogie to see how long it took.



roof's open for emo-y purposes!

"People leave. Not to sound callous, but that happens."

"IT DOESN'T HAVE TO HAPPEN." JOhn's voice started to crack as he took his cue from Book 5 Harry.

Walter frowned in the face of John's vehemence. Obviously he'd hit a very sensitive spot with him.

"Are you sure about that? Most of the people here have duties to return to when they're done here."

"I know my duties. I will report as planned, and see Operation Clusterfuck enacted with Operation Savior planned for aftermath." John's heels smacked together slightly, as if he didn't even notice.

"That sounds rather like home," Walter said, raising an eyebrow slightly at the heel clicking.

"You don't know the half of it, soldier." JOhn's back straigtened of its own accord.

Interesting. "In what way?"

"Military training. Paramilitary training. Tactics. Scenarios. Training. Moving around, never having roots, all in the hope that one day I won't fuck things up and actually pull it together."

"Do you think you're the only person here with that story?" Walter asked oblivious to the fact that John's got a super-sucky future ahead of him.

"The fact that I'm not the only one proves that whoever writes the stories can suck it."

And with that, John decides enough is enough. (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/803097.html?thread=61672217#t61672217f)

Walter watched John go and shrugged, sitting down to enjoy his cigarette.
