what if we fell in love forever under the plastic desk tarps
hmmmmmm … helena coded lyrics.
"No," was Mark's answer, fingers drumming absently atop the divider that kept them separated.
"I..." His brows furrowed, gaze avoiding Helly's face ever so slightly. "To be honest, I don't think Ms. Cobel wants me to talk to you at all any more."
There wasn't any reason to say it, he knew. Helly was the last person in the office to care what their boss thought, and considering the way that she was being treated even after what she tried to do in the elevator, Mark couldn't blame her for it. What was the point in making someone who hated it here stay? Helly didn't even have a Petey to make her feel sane-- a friend to make it all worth it. Mark had been lucky, but Helly...
"...but I don't think I care what she wants any more, either."
Not when you're suffering like this.
"All those times I tried to stop you, it was just-- I was like this too, you know." His expression went wry. "And I knew all the punishments because they did them to me first. It was before Dylan's time, but Irving remembers... and he never lets me forget it." The scolding at the Perpetuity Wing came to mind, however briefly.
"I'm not asking you to be my best friend or anything." A beat. "I just wanted you to know I'm on your side."
she isn't surprised to hear that cobel doesn't want him talking to her — she probably thinks that helly would be a bad influence on him or something. what she is surprised by though is the following admittance : i don't think i care what she wants any more, either.
a far cry from anything she would have ever expected to hear from mark.
still, despite that, part of her has trouble connecting the mark she knows with the past version he speaks of. “ you mean to tell me that the great mark s. had trouble adjusting? sounds made up. ”
it is hard to imagine him having the same issues as her when it comes to settling in here, but another part of her can see where there might be truth in his words. after all, he's done nothing but try to prevent her from getting into trouble. hell, he had even took that first break room punishment for her — one would assume it was simply him trying to create a peaceful work environment, but ... maybe there is a bit more to it than that.
a sip of coffee, followed by helly leaning back against her desk. she still couldn’t say that she agreed with mark, but she supposed she could appreciate the sentiment nonetheless. after all the shit mark’s done for her, maybe she can try to give him the benefit of the doubt.
“ … thanks, mark. ” the words lack her usual bite, proof that his admittance of being on her side has hit home, whether or not she wants to admit it. “ tell me something, though — how long did it take you to just accept all this bullshit? because you know that’s what it all is. ”
and all the people say “you can’t wake up, this is not a dream you’re part of a machine, you are not a human being with your face all made up, living on a screen low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline”

@macrodatum said : "you're not alone. i'm here."
——————
never let it be said that mark s. isn't trying.
helly can recognize that, even if she doesn't necessarily want to. fingers tighten their grip around the coffee mug clutched in her hand — the heat is a welcome sting, one that she hopes leaves reminders on her fingertips for her outie to have to deal with later.
“ i told you, ” she says, shifting her weight from one foot to the other, “ i’m fine. you don’t have to watch my every move, mark. ”
in other words, she’s not going to try that again — that ship has sailed. there’s other ways to go about this. after all, if an extension cord around her neck wasn’t enough to get the bitch on the outside to see clearly, it’s time to change strategies.
the department head still stands there in front of her though, looking at her with something that she thinks might be genuine concern. it’s almost endearing, in a pathetic puppy dog sort of way. “ come on — you can tell me : did they put you up to this? is your job for the day playing babysitter? ”
