Martin is away from the phone right now. Pleas leave a message and he'll get back to you.
Martin takes the book and he smiles as he looks at it, the photos and the writing. "Yeah, might be a good idea. It's- it's grounding."
He hesitates for a moment before his next suggestion. "If you're worried about- the Not-Them, tape recordings and film photographs seem to be a bit more reliable."
Better than digital at least.
"I- I'm alright I think. I- I've spent a lot of time at bed-sides and- I don't want to intrude."

"I- I'm alright I think. I- I've spent a lot of time at bed-sides and- I don't want to intrude."
[That seems oddly specific and he's not quite sure how to answer it. So instead he doesn't.]
Worrying about and indirectly taking advantage of are two very different things.

"I am a little. The men who fixed my memories before aren't here anymore. I don't want to forget her ever again." Although he chuckles a little. "Film and tape recordings, huh? Is that why only some of the statements would record digitally and others wouldn't?"
"Yeah, I mean, I think so? Maybe the entities just don't like the retro aesthetic?"
It's not really that funny though, is it? Not when he'd heard Jon obsessively listen to those tapes from before things went bad over and over again.
"Jon killed it, you know? The thing that took her."

Alright. Just know I'm here for you if that does ever change.
"Yeah. I've been told." Although it was still so strange to him. Something he can't picture that had taken over his memories of his friend. These are things that he's told, but he feels so disconnected from it at the same time. "I hope it suffered."
"It did," Martin says, with some venom in his voice. "I know it did. It screamed."
"Good." His voice is dark. Full of anger. "Sasha was the best of us. It deserved to suffer." Now he sounds a bit more like the Tim who was ready to go head to head with the Unknowning and willing to give up anything to stop it.
"Yeah. Yeah it did," Martin agrees. That had been personal in a way the others hadn't been. Well, Jude Perry had been personal for Jon, and that made it personal to Martin, but the Not-Them had broken so much between them all. "Lots of people... creatures, deserve that."
"I wish I could have seen it. Wish I could have heard it's dying screams."
"It was horrible. I mean, everything was in the apocalypse. But also very satisfying."
He should feel more guilty than he does probably. But that death... that death had been deserved.

"If it had to be an apocalypse at least you got to kill some monsters still."
Would you be willing to go out and grab a cup of tea with me? Or lunch if you're hungry?
Sure. Is this an occasion or just catching up?
Catching up mostly, but I do have a couple questions. Don't worry, nothing serious.
"Plenty of them realising that they don't like the apocalypse too. Or at least, not the Eye being in charge of it."
But he's still not sure any of the rest of them could have actually caused the apocalypse.

What about Honestea? Remind us a little bit of home while we chat? My treat.
"What a shock. Something entitled not being happy getting what they want. Good to know even cosmic horrors can be huge bitches as well."
Yeah, that works! Especially if you're treating.
"Pretty sure cosmic horrors are more likely to be huge bitches. All those millennia of practice and time to think about it."
Did you want to keep the thread here? Or move it into a closed log post?

Shall I meet you there when you're able to join me? I can go get us a table.
"Not to mention all the time in the world to piss each other off and get under their skins."
