4th Shot [video]

Alien planet or not, there's no way I'm spending another Thanksgiving alone. I know I'm not the only American trapped in this place. And I can't be the only person here with a thing or two to be thankful for.

[It had been one of her favorite holidays as a child. Her mother had reminded her every year just how much she had to be thankful for growing up in the Bishop family, never needing to want for anything. They'd spend the day in one of the soup kitchens her mother helped to run and serve meals to those in need. She never complained, even as a little girl.

By the time they came home at the end of the afternoon, it seemed like Christmas had come early. Food would be spread out on the dining room table and her father would actually be home from the office in time to spend a meal with the rest of them. Eleanor would insist they all eat dinner together, It hadn't been just the Bishop family that night, but their cook and nanny and housekeeper. Everyone together, one big family.

It had been one of the first traditions to go after her mother died. Thanksgiving had become a day to slave away in the soup kitchens, nothing more.

Kate takes a deep breath, looking pointedly at the camera. If a flicker of sadness and longing crosses her face, it's in your imagination. There's no regrets here. Not one whatsoever. Life is too short to let those emotions keep dictating your every action.]


So, guys, what do you say? I've never exactly prepared my own meal but it can't be that hard. Thursday, 5 pm, my place. Bring whatever you want. I'll provide the bird.

It is! Shame people never realise that until the world goes to hell.

Yeah. I am. Shame I didn't realise until too late.

[He smiles back, drawing his courage around himself. He's got good at that recently.]

I know. We're still alive.

[Not that anyone is expecting to live long and full lives these days, but it's a nice sentiment.]

Yeah. That would be nice.

Compared to the undead and the crazy scientist trying to murder us with them, the Malnosso seem pretty tame.

I have to say, I wouldn't mind a few superheros back there.

[He gives an amused snort at that, shaking his head. The idea of him being a superhero is pretty ridiculous.]

I don't think I'm really superhero material. Now Runner 5... they're pretty heroic. [And it's pretty obvious to everyone but himself that he's kind of smitten.]

I- I do not! That is completely ridiculous! I just have a lot of respect for Runner 5. They've done a lot for us.
voiceinthedark: (Awkward)

Well, I mean, all the runners are awesome but Five is...they ran all through the night to get home one time. They... they came back even when Alice... when she couldn't.
voiceinthedark: (Worried)

[He gives her an apologetic look.]

Sorry, bit more morbid than I'd intended. Yeah, Alice and me had a thing. And maybe I just... Five is the person who took her number. Maybe I just got attached. It's stupid but... but it always seems like Five can get through anything.
voiceinthedark: (That's a whole lot of zoms)

Would be nice to see her again. I've seen too many of my Runners not come back.

I guess so. I hope so. I wish everyone could come here.
