Joke Thirty Five | Everyone leaves me

[crazy_clownwoman]

[Harley has been having a blast, Halloween coming up after all. The best holiday of all. And they were going to have a great time! Everything was awesome for once! 
Of course it never lasts. She found Vince dusting the toy shop. A quick run to his house and she see's everything she needs to. ...Or more like the lack of everything she needs to. She is not pleased.

The phone is knocked off the hook. Mayfield you may now here a HIGHLY distraught woman yelling through tears. It sounds like someone is throwing things as well.]

-OUT OF IT!  VINCE! 

Stop it! Stop it right now! 

[A smash]

"Mrs. Quinn I think we should get to work."

DON'T CALL ME THAT! 

"Well I'm going to go and clean the window's now. Keep an eye on the shop won't you?"

[And just sobbing now.]

.....You weren't supposed to leave me....

[Harley notices the phone and grabs it up.]

Fine! Take everyone away from me why don't you! What's the point! I try and try and EVERY TIME they leave. I'm tired of all of this. Torturing us every month, taking away people. Bringing people back who don't remember you anyway!

Well I've had it! I QUIT! I'm not doing anything here ever again! I don't CARE if I get droned. This place is horrible! And whoever's doing this is a sick freak! 

[And with that she slams the phone down and marches home. Call back? Try to drag her out of her locked bedroom? She's inside crying but she'll answer the phone or a knock on the door.]

Open the door, child.

.......







No.

[uranophobe.livejournal.com]

[SIGH] And why not?

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Because then you'll come in, and try to cheer me up and then it'll just be even worse when you get droned....

Harleen... [okay, switching tactics here]

I did walk all the way down here. The very least you could do is open the door.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

........

[Long pause.]

Fine.

[Opens the door. Stupid. Why does she always let people in...]

[Several factors have come together all at once to make this one incident happen.

One: They are the only people there. He's checked. Several times.
Two: This is obviously a very dire matter, one that requires drastic measures such as this.
Three: Harleen being depressed is one of the most horrifically wrong things he has ever imagined. He can't be having that.
Four: He'll never be foolish enough to try this ever again. And he's well aware of that.

And, so, Crane hugs her. It's not a very good hug, obviously coming from someone with very little experience with it and with plenty of room for the Holy Spirit in between, but it is one, and one of the very few he's ever willingly given another human being. This is serious.]

[.....Crane is hugging her? Clearly she is in opposite land, because what the hell.

Yes, you are getting hugged back Crane. Screw you Holy Spirit, she's sad and Crane's her friend.]

[no gdi keep it there this plan is falling apart in front of his eyes]

It's a pointless exercise in futility, bonding with these people, the ones from other worlds. In the end, all they can do is leave. And there's not a thing anyone could do to stop it.

[Just small sniffs, she's still not done crying.]

I-I know..... but it's hard not to...a-and th-then...they just leave...


A-and people from home leave all the time too..

[uranophobe.livejournal.com]

But, it's not as if we'll never see them again. There's no use getting upset over it.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

No.....but I can't help it.

They'll just come back and they won't remember anything and that makes it worse.
