check_dat: well, let me lay it down and you can just see how you feel after. check_dat: you know how I work with that surveying agency in Camphoreon? check_dat: well I caught word today that they're looking for someone in their Jinko office. _backspace_kun: cause I know so much about surveying check_dat: you honor me with your response. check_dat: it's not really a surveying position is the thing. check_dat: it's summer and it's hot and they need a runner for one of their crews. check_dat: like someone to go back to the office if something gets left behind, or someone to pick up some cold drinks for afternoon shifts, or someone to help cart equipment. _backspace_kun: so a gofer check_dat: well, yes. check_dat: it's basically an apprenticeship in land surveying. check_dat: but you're also being paid as a gofer. _backspace_kun: eh… check_dat: not crazy about it? _backspace_kun: I'm not in love _backspace_kun: but its better than what I've got now _backspace_kun: which is roughly jack s**t check_dat: before you make any kind of final decision, I wanna warn you. check_dat: it's gonna be a lot of manual labor with some jerks who are probably gonna be incredibly condescending and it'll all be for minimum wage. _backspace_kun: man you are not selling this huh check_dat: what happens in the Jinko branch isn't really my problem. check_dat: if you think you're gonna be unhappy with it, don't do it. check_dat: it's literally no concern of mine whatsoever. _backspace_kun: I dunno… I'll think about it… _backspace_kun: if nothing else its work experience right? references for the future or whatever check_dat: this is true, it's valuable as long as you do the best job you can. _backspace_kun: eh go ahead and give em my name _backspace_kun: I assume I have to apply and stuff check_dat: yes. _backspace_kun: so I'll think about it in the meantime or something check_dat: sounds good. _backspace_kun: so tell me about El check_dat: uh, that's a switch. what about her? _backspace_kun: whats she doing these days check_dat: same old. _backspace_kun: is she like _backspace_kun: acting normally and stuff? check_dat: um to be honest I wouldn't know, I see her so infrequently that I really only catch glimpses of her behavior. check_dat: stuff like the laundry she sheds all over the apartment, the dishes she leaves in the sink… _backspace_kun: lol well that sounds pretty much normal check_dat: painfully normal. check_dat: I think there are nights lately where she just plain doesn't come back at all? check_dat: I'm not sure since she's usually asleep in her room with the door closed if she's here at all. check_dat: and I don't just intrude all up in her business so if she's actually not in there then I wouldn't know… _backspace_kun: youre okay with all that? check_dat: ? _backspace_kun: like youre not worried or anything check_dat: I mean of course I am. check_dat: but she's an adult so like… what does it matter to her if I'm worried. _backspace_kun: okay Cory lets be real here for a minute _backspace_kun: you are in possession of my sister check_dat: ummmm lol… _backspace_kun: now I am sure when you took her in like the needy puppy she is you understood that youd have to watch her nearly constantly to keep her from like chewing furniture or rolling in s**t _backspace_kun: so please do me a favor and dont go sayin s**t like "what does it matter" _backspace_kun: cause if I know Ellia all you gotta do is leash her _backspace_kun: keep track of her _backspace_kun: dont let her wander off _backspace_kun: and then shes pretty much good _backspace_kun: but that "shes an adult so I dont control her life" attitude is the #1 way to basically give her permission to do whatever she comes across check_dat: you know, I was under the impression that SHE was the older of you two. _backspace_kun: only if you go by age check_dat: hahaha. check_dat: okay look I've got a day off tomorrow. check_dat: I'll tail her all day like some kind of international spy and let you know what I have to report. _backspace_kun: kay good _backspace_kun: you do that _backspace_kun: I'm gonna uh _backspace_kun: pad a resume I guess check_dat: lol, okay, and maybe clean up your facebook a bit too. _backspace_kun: yeah yeah _backspace_kun has gone away.

check_dat: uhh, well not because I said I would. check_dat: I was just kidding, actually. check_dat: but then I started getting curious. check_dat: like what DOES Ellia do virtually all day? check_dat: the answer, apparently, is club hopping. _backspace_kun: what like… _backspace_kun: just going from club to club all night? check_dat: yes Nate, that is the definition of club hopping. fairly straightforward, ain't it? _backspace_kun: you and your sass _backspace_kun: soooo thats fairly harmless right? check_dat: ummm no, not actually… _backspace_kun: no? its just like dancing or whatever check_dat: you've never been to a club? aren't you over 18? _backspace_kun: eh I've tried to get Will and Ash into it but theyd rather stay home and play games or something check_dat: wow, that's incredibly lame. check_dat: but it's also one less bad habit to pick up from Leighton. _backspace_kun: I'll punch you check_dat: :P check_dat: WELL allow me to educate you. check_dat: things people do at clubs include without being limited to: dance, flirt and hook up, drink and/or smoke, and engage in the use of various drugs check_dat: so as you were saying once in the past about letting Ellia out into the wild and she'll do whatever she gets her hands on… _backspace_kun: no way thats bullshit _backspace_kun: I mean I know thats like exactly what I said but youre not giving her enough credit _backspace_kun: drinking and smoking sure, dancing and flirting sure, but _backspace_kun: I mean she has more sense than that _backspace_kun: you know her check_dat: whoa now, calm down there champ. check_dat: I'm not implying anything in particular, I'm just telling it how it is. check_dat: I've been trying to catch her attention lately but she doesn't seem to want to hold conversation. check_dat: (sketchy.) _backspace_kun: mannnn _backspace_kun: Ellia y u gotta be so difficult check_dat: haha. check_dat: well, that concludes my report. check_dat: don't you have to work in the morning? like in Jinko? _backspace_kun: ummm _backspace_kun: not if you don't tellll theeemmm check_dat: lol, sorry pal, doesn't work that way. check_dat: how's that working out for you? _backspace_kun: super shitty I wanna die check_dat: aw come on, it can't be that bad. check_dat: aren't you getting all super buff or something? _backspace_kun: no _backspace_kun: not really check_dat: really? even with all that running around? _backspace_kun: THATS THE THING _backspace_kun: YOU SAID THEY WANTED A RUNNER BUT I DIDNT KNOW THERE WOULD BE ~ACTUAL RUNNING~ check_dat: LOL. check_dat: sorry 'bout it. check_dat: maybe you have a promising career in the military ahead of you? basic training should be a snap _backspace_kun: um no thanks _backspace_kun: but jeez now that youve TOTALLY TAKEN THE WIND OUT OF MY SAILS _backspace_kun: I guess I'll sleep _backspace_kun: ******** style="color: red">check_dat: gosh, love you too, darling. check_dat: well go on and get some sleep. check_dat: early morning tomorrow. _backspace_kun has gone offline.

December 1, 2011: 8:03PM check_dat: this one's coming a little out of nowhere but. check_dat: have you heard from Leighton at all? _backspace_kun: um no why would he contact me in any way check_dat: it just struck me that I haven't seen him since ages ago.
check_dat: I was starting to wonder if I should have made missing person arragements. _backspace_kun: he probably just went with Emma or something check_dat: a possibility. _backspace_kun: oh wait _backspace_kun: mmm when was it that Emma left again check_dat: uhhh... check_dat: over the summer? _backspace_kun: yeah that sounds right _backspace_kun: well that cant be right then _backspace_kun: Leighton texted me in September check_dat: really? what for? _backspace_kun: well not that I've used it or anything… check_dat: ? _backspace_kun: but he was telling me he put a fake ID in my mailbox _backspace_kun: lemme see if I can find the text check_dat: the hell, that doesn't make any sense. check_dat: or… maybe it does… _backspace_kun: yeah here it is _backspace_kun: he called it a "last act of goodwill" _backspace_kun: then didn't answer me at all _backspace_kun: if you can make sense of that then you must be a ******** psychic check_dat: oh man that is depressing. _backspace_kun: ????? check_dat: well it doesn't answer the question of where he went. check_dat: but the "last act" bit makes it sound like he was planning to sort of vanish so I guess that's one worry assuaged. check_dat: couldn't have killed him to explain the fake ID bit a little better though. _backspace_kun:
???????????? check_dat: lmao. check_dat: okay this is just a theory, but. check_dat: maybe Leighton knew something about Ellia. check_dat: I'm pretty sure he was into the whole nightclubs and dive bars business, so it's plenty conceivable that he might have run into her. check_dat: and… I dunno… maybe he thought she was in a bad scene or something. check_dat: so he gave you that ID so you could go and get her. check_dat: or at least observe her and make sure she wasn't getting into trouble. _backspace_kun: umm no I think you are giving Leighton way too much credit _backspace_kun: since when did he give a s**t about Ellia check_dat: I know you guys clashed a lot but Tony seriously isn't as bad a person as you make him out to be. check_dat: he's a far cry from caring and compassionate but he's hardly so cruel as to watch someone he grew up around get herself into trouble. _backspace_kun: even if youre right WHICH I HIGHLY DOUBT its a little late for all that _backspace_kun: so its whatever check_dat: yeah… _backspace_kun: speaking of missing person business _backspace_kun: I assume you hear from Ellia every now and then? check_dat: yeah she answers me curtly whenever I threaten to file a report check_dat: what about you? _backspace_kun: not since October check_dat: bleh. check_dat: one of these days she'll resurface long enough for me to punch her. _backspace_kun: dibs check_dat: lol.
December 19, 2011: 12:02PM feeboss: Naaaaate feeboss: Nate? feeboss: Nate are you there feeboss: NateNateNateNateNateNateNateNateNateNate
feeboss: okay I will assume you are not there then… feeboss: it's just that Cory called me and told me about Ellia… feeboss: and I know I haven't talked to you in a while so I thought it might be kind of awkward but I figured it was worth a shot… feeboss: I'm on winter break right now so we could hang out if you wanted feeboss: you and me and Will feeboss: I know we haven't really done anything like that since me and Will broke up… feeboss: but I don't want that to mean we aren't friends anymore _backspace_kun has become idle. feeboss: okay I guess you're really not there at all u_u feeboss: I will continue to leave some messages for you to read when you return though feeboss: or to close without reading, whichever you decide I guess… feeboss: anyway… feeboss: if you're having trouble I really want to hear about it feeboss: I mean, not to be nosy… feeboss: just to kind of be there for you I guess feeboss: you know? feeboss: I know the circumstances are really sad and terrible feeboss: and um… feeboss: I think I'm rambling, sorry feeboss: anyway, you can give me a call or something? drop me a text? I'll be on skype so feeboss: talk to later?

_backspace_kun: theyre dropping Ellia check_dat: what do you mean by that? _backspace_kun: she didnt ******** wake up right away and so theyre all oohh hospitals are really too expensive and its her own fault so FORGET IT THERES NO ELLIA IN OUR FAMILY LOLOL _backspace_kun: HILARIOUS ******** style="color: red">check_dat: :/ check_dat: okay, first of all I'm gonna ask you to calm down. check_dat: I know you're justifiably angry but spuming profanity isn't going to accomplish anything. check_dat: what is it that you want to do? _backspace_kun: um kill my parents check_dat: okay, what's the next thing you want to do then? _backspace_kun: obviously find some way to get enough cash together that the hospital doesnt pull her plug… check_dat: that sounds like a much more legal course of action so let's go with that one. _backspace_kun: after that would be finding anywhere to stay that isnt here check_dat: unfortunate that's incompatible with the other thing. check_dat: are your parents kicking you out? _backspace_kun: no check_dat: then don't kick yourself out. check_dat: don't pick up more bills than you need. _backspace_kun: youre awfully calm about this check_dat: one of us has to be. check_dat: and honestly, I kind of feel responsible for this… check_dat: Ellia was staying with me for ages and I never even suspected that this kind of thing would happen. check_dat: you even told me to keep a closer eye on her. check_dat: I didn't, and look what precipitated from that. _backspace_kun: if youre saying youre at fault then youre the only one thinking that check_dat: meh, being the only one thinking something doesn't make it wrong… check_dat: but this is kind of beside the issue. check_dat: here is the plan as I see it: check_dat: I've actually accumulated quite a bit in my savings over the past few years. check_dat: let's go to the hospital tomorrow and talk to the staff and see what they have to say. check_dat: there's no way they'll offer care for free, but maybe we can get some kind of deal going. _backspace_kun: no way I could not let you pay Ellias bills that is ridiculous check_dat: shhh sh sh. check_dat: I'm not finished. check_dat: in the meantime you find yourself another job. check_dat: the first thing that comes to mind is that shipping place Ellia left a few months ago. check_dat: they might have filled that opening already, they might not have, they might have but still need more help, who knows. check_dat: that's just for a direction, though. doesn't matter what you do so long as it draws money. check_dat: as soon as you can start covering the expenses yourself, you take them over. check_dat: if you're feeling really stubborn like you often do, you can try to convince me to let you pay me back, but I can't guarantee that'll work out for you. check_dat: how does that sound? _backspace_kun: eh _backspace_kun: its the best weve got I guess check_dat: yeah. check_dat: just keep in mind you're not in this alone, okay? check_dat: your parents may be the biggest assholes on the planet, but that doesn't mean your friends aren't gonna stand with you. _backspace_kun: I guess check_dat: I'd say cheer up but I don't suppose that's happening, huh? _backspace_kun: not really check_dat: well… check_dat: why don't you try getting some sleep or something? check_dat: I know it's early and all but… _backspace_kun: no yeah I'm pretty tired I guess _backspace_kun: its whatever _backspace_kun: later check_dat: yeah. check_dat: don't worry too much, okay? _backspace_kun has gone offline.

check_dat: sorry, that probably sounds really ungrateful and/or insulting. check_dat: I just didn't think that job paid that much. check_dat: did you get a promotion or something? _backspace_kun: no not really _backspace_kun: it just adds up I guess check_dat: well don't feel obligated to pay more just because you have more. check_dat: ideally it's during this point in your life that you're doing things like getting your own place to live. check_dat: so the thought that you're pouring your every spare coin into this arrangement with the hospital is kind of a bummer. _backspace_kun: I mean its for my sister _backspace_kun: so I feel like the ideal is that I'm paying the majority _backspace_kun: or rather all of it check_dat: I suspect you're underestimating how stubborn I am about this. check_dat: but I'm not gonna lie it's sort of a relief to get a little break. _backspace_kun: what do you mean? check_dat: ehhhh. check_dat: nothing in particular. check_dat: bills are shitty. check_dat: work is like "oohh we're gonna cut overtime and also give you less hours." check_dat: and I'm like "noooo but my cable bill!" check_dat: the short version is that I've joined the ranks of everyone else living in the year 2012 and have decided to get a Netflix so I can just drop my cable. check_dat: so far it's working out incredibly well. _backspace_kun: man dont stretch yourself cause of me _backspace_kun: I can make up the difference somehow check_dat: Nate, you are too young to throw around phrases like that with any kind of sincerity. check_dat: don't worry about it. _backspace_kun: you are not that much older than me check_dat: lol, point. check_dat: but still, don't worry about it. _backspace_kun: yeaaaahh thats not gonna happen check_dat: :P check_dat: WELL. check_dat: I'm going to take my newfound fabulous wealth and go down to the store and buy some white rice and some of those packaged eggrolls. check_dat: living the high life tonight. _backspace_kun: dining like a king check_dat: you know it. check_dat: you can come too if you're in Camphoreon now. _backspace_kun: I am not _backspace_kun: unfortunately _backspace_kun: its cup ramen for me tonight check_dat: yikes. check_dat: at least that sentence didn't contain an "again." _backspace_kun: I might have forgotten it check_dat: for your happiness and mine I'm gonna pretend you're not eating dehydrated blocks of salt for the majority of your meals. _backspace_kun: whatever helps you sleep at night _backspace_kun: you go buy your delicious rice check_dat: lol. check_dat has become idle.

From: Seraphine in that case i hope he doesn't have to work next friday

To: Seraphine I wonderrrrr. but what if he has to work aaaaaall weekend.......
From: Seraphine if he has to work aaaaaall weekend, how would he hope to have a good time at DD, hmmmmm?
To: Seraphine well he would have to make a wish upon a star and then it would make no difference who he are, as the story goes
From: Seraphine hmmmmmmm. in that case, he better be wishin pretty hard that he can get out of his friday night shift
To: Seraphine lol maybe he just wont go, he for sure hates that place
From: Seraphine lol, that's what i would do if i had a job. why's he hate that place, hmm?
To: Seraphine k this third person thing is getting weird as hell lol. basically my manager is a huge d**k and is looking for any excuse to ditch me :P
From: Seraphine yeah it kinda was, lol. and he sounds like the biggest a**
To: Seraphine totally is but given that I know that I probably shouldnt go out of my way to skip. will just have to earn a favor before then, save someones life or something, the usual
From: Seraphine yeah probably not the best idea ever. you should def let me know what day though. i'll be free ;)
To: Seraphine hmm well I'm sure I'll manage something, I guess well see what happens

Work to Live
The warehouse was his first gig, and while his employer was a sleezebag who stole wages under the table, Nate tolerated it purely because the job was extremely lucrative - not because of his paycheck (again, wage theft) but because of the very nature of his responsibilities. Nate's usual task was to move boxes from one place to another: from boats to storage, storage to trucks, storage to other places in storage, so on and so forth. A vast number of items passed his hands each shift, and who would notice if one of the smaller boxes was torn open and taped back up every now and then? So far, no one. Nate despised that job with every fiber of his being, but he literally couldn't afford to quit.
His second job was at the bakery. It was on a whim; he had been walking past the building and noticed the help wanted sign propped up in the window. When he handed in his application, it had halfway been a joke; he was curious how his old friends would react when he told them that he had become a bread baker. The half of him that was sincere had considered the fact that perhaps if he worked at a bakery he would be able to save money on groceries by cashing in on leftover unsold bread. He had been right, and the job had proven a valuable investment.
Nate's third and most recent job was working the bar at the Dragon Dance nightclub. It was far from an unfamiliar scene for him, but with his schedule, becoming an employee was the only way he would be able to visit anymore. It turned out to be a good choice: He made a good amount in tips, and his boss didn't mind him making a drink for himself now and again as long as he didn't get himself drunk (or, Nate discovered, as long as he acted convincingly sober).
Mornings at the bakery, afternoons at the warehouse, and nights at the nightclub. He would sleep at 3am, drag himself to his morning shift at 8am, and catch meals on breaks. If he was off during the day, he would visit his sister. If he was off at night, he would load up a video game and knock back a few drinks.
Around the time of his 23rd birthday, celebrated alone that summer's night with a discounted cupcake from the bakery's patisserie, Nate was visited by the chilling revelation that his young adulthood was slipping through his fingers. Sure, he was making decent headway in staying on top of the hospital expenses, but it was at the cost of his very own life, and with no guarantee that his efforts would ever be rewarded.
He poured himself something strong and refilled until the thought was gone from his mind.

A Fruitless Culmination
The little bell jingled over the entryway to announce the arrival of a customer, and Nate turned from the display case where he had been placing freshly made croissants to address the individual, "Hey, welcome to-- Cory?"
The man was visibly distressed - out of breath, face pale, eyes reddened - and he looked at his younger friend for a moment before stomping over and seizing him by the strap of the plain white apron he wore. "Where the <********> is your phone?!"
Nathan, surprised by the uncharacteristic outburst, grabbed Cory's wrist to force it away and glanced uneasily towards the kitchen, "Cory, damn, chill out; I'm gonna get in trouble. I'm at work, man - my phone's in my pocket, on silent. What's up? What's going on?"
Cory's hysteria seemed to cool a bit, but his eyes misted over in exchange, and his brow was knit in grief. "Nate, ********... I've been trying to get a hold of you for ages - and the hospital too, apparently. Ellia... Your sister... God." He raised a hand across his eyes, grimacing and exhaling shudderingly. Nate waited in unbreathing silence for him to complete his thought. "This morning, early, she... she died."
Nate frowned in confusion. "How would she ******** die?" he said, incredulous. "She's in a coma."
Cory drew the back of his wrist roughly past the corners of his eyes. "She-- Look, people don't wake up from long comas like that often, you know? The doctors said that from the beginning. It just-- It was just so hard to believe. Like, Ellia felt like the kind of person who just couldn't die..."
"If she didn't wake up then she's still in a coma!" Nate countered hotly. "Not ******** dead!"
"Christ, Nate, could you not make this so goddamn difficult?!"
There was the nearby sound of someone loudly clearing their throat, attracting the pair's attention. The bakery's manager stood in the doorway connecting the sales floor and the kitchen. He looked to his employee with raised eyebrows, "Nathan, you can take your break early if you need to."
Nate dipped his head. "Yeah, thanks. Sorry." He gestured for Cory to follow and led him through the employee entrance to the back parking lot.
"All right, listen," Cory began anew, speaking in a more level voice than he had inside despite the additional privacy, "I'm going to make this as clear as possible. Ellia's brain stopped working, okay?"
"...I mean, it barely worked in the first place."
"Nate." The word was spoken through teeth that were nearly clenched. "This is not a ******** joke. God, why couldn't you have just answered your phone when the hospital called..." He pushed a hand through his hair and exhaled sharply through his nose. "You're not an idiot. You know what brain death is. She may be 'alive' insomuch as her heart is beating - only by virtue of life support, mind you - but... it's not possible for her to wake up anymore. There's nothing to wake up. She's just a warm corpse, Nate. Do you understand that? Do you get it?!"
Cory was crying, though it was apparent that he was trying very hard not to even as his tears fell and his breath came in shudders. Nate was more taken aback by this display than he was by the news that caused it. Although he was sure that Cory, as human as anyone else, cried from time to time, he couldn't recall a time when he had ever done it in front of him.
"Hey, it's nothing to cry about," Nate said, fumbling to give some kind of comfort. Cory snapped to attention with a look of incredulity.
"What are you saying...? This is your sister we're talking about!"
"Yeah, but..." Nate wrung the edge of his apron between his fingers. "I mean, what's really changed, right? It wasn't like she was really 'alive' before." His tone quieted, and his gaze clouded and fell. "Yeah, if you look at it that way, isn't this basically a good thing? We've more or less caught up with the bills, so they'll stop coming, right? That huge monthly expense will just disappear. s**t, maybe I can even quit these godawful jobs."
Cory looked on in disbelief, shaking his head just slightly. "You can't be serious right now. Years, years we've been holding out for her to wake up, and now that she's gone this is how you react? With ******** relief? You've been busting your a** all this time, and now you don't even care?"
Anger flared up in Nate's features, "Well maybe I'm just realizing what a goddamn idiot I've been! It's been what? Three years? Going on four? All this <******** time," he lifted his arms and threw them down, "I've wasted just trying to keep some faint possibility afloat when everyone told me it was stupid. That's me! I'm stupid! I'm the absolute ******** moron that spent almost four years begging a corpse to open its eyes while throwing cash into a damn shredder!"
Nate exhaled heavily, reaching up to nest one hand in his hair and holding his elbow in the other. "I can't believe this. Or I say that, but I'm not even ********' surprised. El was always like this. She never cared; she just did what she wanted."
"Don't you say that," Cory said sharply. "Ellia always put you first - always. She was always thinking about you and worrying about you, and... and..." He drew up his shoulders and clenched his hands into fists. "I was in love with her, damn it! And I lied through my teeth about it because she always made it clear that you were the most important person to her. Ever since that thing in middle school--"
"Don't bring that up!"
Cory flinched and lowered his head. "I know. I'm sorry. But I'm trying to make a point here."
"Yeah, I get it," Nate said, dropping his hands into his pockets. "She loved me more than she loved you. And you loved her more than I loved her."
"Nate...!"
"It's ******** true though! s**t! How am I supposed to be sad about this?!"
"Didn't you, more than anyone else, always believe that she would wake up?" Cory was almost pleading now. "Didn't you visit her every day that you could? Weren't you always saying things like 'when Ellia wakes up'? Why are you suddenly acting like you never cared?"
"Because I feel like an idiot," Nate snapped, "and I don't see how you don't too. Nineteen. I was nineteen years old when I threw away everything I wanted to do and enslaved myself to that ******** hospital - chained myself to someone who was practically already dead! God, all that money, all that time..." He lifted a hand to press his palm against his forehead. "It makes me sick just thinking about it."
Cory, at an apparent loss for words now, stood in stoic silence, his expression taut and his posture drawn in.
When Nate spoke again, it was a cold sound, utterly devoid of the disbelief, frustration, or anger that had colored his words previously, "These four years, I'm throwing them away. I don't care anymore. I'm quitting this job, I'm quitting all of my jobs. I'm going to do what I ******** want to do."
He roughly jerked his apron off and turned to head back into the bakery, ignoring Cory's protests and the poorly stifled sob the followed him as he pulled the door shut behind him.
"Yo Boss, I'm gonna need whatever papers I have to sign to get out of this hellhole."
