Where would you go if you graduated tomorrow?

I'm not asking in the sense of do you want to leave the Barge. Given an option of going wherever you want assuming you could leave the Barge tomorrow, would you want to return to your home universe?

[Someone has been doing some thinking about his options, and this may or may not be him finally actually being almost ready to get out of here.]

Why not?

[tobecaprican]

Because when I left, my world was in the process of being destroyed by nuclear holocaust. I didn't see much of it, but from what I know, the objective was extermination.

But I want to go home, all the same.

So, I don't know.

private.

[resultofwar]

I see.

Earth?

private.

[tobecaprican]

[ That gets a small, husky chuckle. ]

No, not Earth. Caprica, in a solar system no one's heard of.

[resultofwar]

What happened?

private.

[tobecaprican]

[ Takes a bit of time for message to go through, but then it does; ]

Humanity's children came home.

private.

[resultofwar]

Meaning?

private.

[tobecaprican]

Working that out myself, still, actually.

Anyway: war happened, the kind you lose to instantly. I've no idea the shape of things left behind, so it's difficult to long to find out. We've fought this enemy before, ages ago, but I don't think it was anything like this. History says we were the winners, for one thing.

[Lol is Star Trek one of the only relatively angst free Scifi canons we have on board. :|]

I'm sorry.

private.

[tobecaprican]

[ My canonpont is like 20 minutes into the pilot episode. Battlestar Galactica is made of post-apocalyptic pain. ]

Oh, it's perfectly fine. I'm here, after all, and frak knows what happened to everyone else.

[resultofwar]

[Exactly why I don't have the emotional fortitude to watch it while in school. That, and it's apparently more addictive than most drugs.]

You don't care?

private.

[tobecaprican]

[ Basically yes, there's no stopping 'til you're done. 8| ]

Funny thing to ask.

I mean more you don't have to apologise to me. I got my second chance, or whatever this is supposed to be.

private.

[resultofwar]

[Sob. Maybe over break. :c]

Your planet didn't.

private.

[tobecaprican]

[ Do iiit. ]

Planets. More than one. Caprica's just where I was at the time. And no, they didn't.

I do care.

[ The emotional equivelant of patting down his pockets for empathy goes here, but at least no one can see. ]

private.

[resultofwar]

Do you?

[Heero is just starting to come to terms with his own extreme MUST SAVE THE COLONIES AND EARTH :V urge so. Excuse him, Gaius.]

private.

[tobecaprican]

[ It's okay; have some defensive neurosis. ]

People care in their own ways, don't they. It's just a lot to take in.

private.

[resultofwar]

Understandable. [Okay fine, he's cutting you some slack.]

private.

[tobecaprican]

I suppose I could make a soul searching network post instead. Did you find what you're looking for?

private.

[resultofwar]

No.
