[Garland] ...Something's.... out of place....
[Seraphna] Sarlen] Your shirt for one?
[Snipe] Death Star: *walks up* Perhaps it's not out of place, but you're not in place?
* Garland looks at Death Star
[Garland] Hmm?
[Snipe] Death Star: *smiles* You don't seem to be in place.
* Garland turns to Death Star
[Garland] What do you mean?
[Snipe] Death Star: *Waves hand* Everything here is in place, one with itself, yet you have a feeling of being out of placed, not in sync with your surroundings.

[Seraphna] *Sarlan walks off away from the kids and lights a cigarette in the woods, needing to be alone
[Garland] Why would it be elsewhere.... everything I need is right....here......
* Garland looks at Sarlen
[Snipe] Death Star: *smirks* You tell me, what isn't right about it then?  Everything you want is here, yet your mind yearns, fights, for something else.
* Seraphna walks out
[Garland] Sarlen.. even now he's a loner.... This.... wait.... Angel? I don't have a child named Angel, that's why I can't remember...

[Garland] What's going on?
[Seraphna] Are you sure you're okay dear?
* Garland looks at his side, where he could have sworn he was badly injured

* Garland narrows his eyes
[Garland] So real yet.... *sniff* false.... *looks at DS*
[Seraphna] Garland dear... you must be tired...
* Garland steps back
