Except you just said where you're going anyway and they can probably read these things.

Panicking again now!

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

FUCK EVERYTHING.

WHOOPS

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

LOOK.

HERE'S A PLAN.

You just find someplace. I don't even care where the hell you go. I'll look for you. Anybody else you want to come can come too. We should talk about this where we know it's only us that'll know.

<3

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

No.

It's ME they're after.

I ran way. I ran away and let them get away!

I'm not going to let anybody else get hurt. I'm staying away until I can think of what to do.

Let me know when everything's done processing cuz I wanna know if I can count on you to fix this damn mess or not.

Not saying you made the mess, just that it IS a mess. Damn those guys, I wanna kick their ass like I did to my own evil self's.

[handy-psychic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it is a mess.

.....

I just... I can't do anything til I'm thinking clearly.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

So long as you don't go drinking or something. That's about the worse thing you need right now from what I remember of Vegas.

I'm sitting tight til Alexi gets here. And Kanin, maybe. ... if they don't kill each other first.

[inthecenterfold.livejournal.com]

Alright. Sounds like a good idea for now.

Meanwhile I'm gonna... try to contact some folks. Get some more ideas.
