N-no, it's not fair... You can't be here, too. you can't. How did you--

[A chair clatters to the floor as Neil backs up into it; he grunts a little as he trips over it, keeps going. Obviously whoever he's talking to, he doesn't want to be anywhere near them. He pauses for a moment; but no other voice is audible.]

I'm not going to-- don't come any closer-- I won't drop out. I don't want to, and they need me, and you haven't done anything for me and how could you even say that, after what happened? This is all I've ever wanted to do, why won't you understand...

[His voice drops nearly to a whisper, but he sounds much bolder, much more sure of himself.]

You can't make me give it up. I won't. My friends here won't let you-- you can't make me do anything!

I won't!!


[ooc; guess who was in Neil's living room this morning. ;____; as long as he gets the gist of this being a curse he'll be fine to perform later. if a little freaked out. SO PERFECT BRB WEEPING WITH JOY]

I think the shock might have knocked anyone off guard, especially considering the way the City brings people without warning.

[had_not_lived]

Yeah. There's no reason he couldn't just show up in my living room.

[moresake.livejournal.com]

Well, perhaps not if you lock your doors. New arrivals seem to cluster around the fountain.

[had_not_lived]

But not always, right?

[moresake.livejournal.com]

No, not always. A good check would be to see if your housemates could see the person as well.~

[had_not_lived]

Todd's father is here, too. But I can't see his, and he can't see mine.

[moresake.livejournal.com]

That seems to be the nature of the curse. Visible or not, these fathers seem to be causing a great deal of distress across the City.

[had_not_lived]

You aren't affected?

[moresake.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen my father since I was fourteen. I imagine the City might have been a little much for him.
