eighteen. erudite born abnegation.

[j-bryant-blog]

Well, thanks. I try.

[keelymullen-blog]

You succeed. Now, where were we before all of these outside matters came into play?

[zombiehunter-kim]

I probably would have noticed. -finishes tying her shoe and stands up- But thanks… I guess.

[keelymullen-blog]

No problem.

[oeuvrx]

Yeah.

[keelymullen-blog]

Anyways, I shouldn't be hogging the conversation so much... How are you doing, Quinn?

[j-bryant-blog]

I don’t see why not.

He helps me, and I’m pretty much a lost cause.

[keelymullen-blog]

[reaches for his hand] Thank you. And if it's any consolation, I don't think you're a lost cause.

Maybe not a poster child, but not a lost cause.

[zombiehunter-kim]

Okay, maybe I care a little bit. -leans down to tie her shoe-

[keelymullen-blog]

I thought you might... Um.. I assumed you wouldn't want to...you know, trip..

[zombiehunter-kim]

[keelymullen-blog]

Your shoe is...untied..

[j-bryant-blog]

Don’t worry about it, I’d freak out too if I were in your position. Probably, Drew talks to anyone and everyone, but he’s one of the best.

[keelymullen-blog]

Yeah, I know Drew... Do you really think he'd help me?

[j-bryant-blog]

I get it. All I’m saying is don’t be so quick to give up, ‘cause once you do you’re going to have to live with whatever they push on you. And waking up to regret every day is even harder than it sounds.

Unfortunately, I’m not exactly the poster child for Abnegation. I do, however, have excellent reinforcements…

[keelymullen-blog]

...You're right. I'm sorry for snapping, I'm just...freaking out a little.

Anyone I might know?

[j-bryant-blog]

I didn’t peg you as the type to let someone control their life because they thought they weren’t capable of doing it themselves. Maybe I was wrong.

[keelymullen-blog]

I'm scared, Jake! I'm terrified of making a wrong move because I made a bad judgment call during my choosing ceremony! I don't want to let someone control my life, but I don't think I'm capable of passing myself off as a real Abnegation by myself!

I need help.

[j-bryant-blog]

Well, maybe you just need to prove to them you can be a model citizen on your own.

[keelymullen-blog]

I don't know if I can..

[j-bryant-blog]

If you’re not a model citizen, I’m surprised they even let me stick around this long.

Don’t worry, Keels. We’ll figure something out.

[keelymullen-blog]

[places her hand on his cheek] I need to fit in as much as possible. If there was any way for me to do that without having to get...married.. I'd do it in a heartbeat. But denying their request would only make them suspicious.

[j-bryant-blog]

I just don’t get it. Usually it’s only Abnegation-borns that have to do that kind of thing, since their parents set it up.. why you?

I think it’s pretty damn selfish for them to dictate everyone’s damn life.

[keelymullen-blog]

I think they want to set me up with an Abnegation born, since I'm not exactly a model citizen..

I hate this.

[j-bryant-blog]

Pairing you off? Why can’t you just say no? 

Unless that’s what you want, but somehow I don’t think that’s the case

[keelymullen-blog]

I gave up control of my future when my blood hit the stones.

I'm stuck.

[j-bryant-blog]

Guess the feeling isn’t so mutual.

Just.. forget it even happened.

[keelymullen-blog]

Jake, it isn't--

The elders are talking about pairing me off soon.

[j-bryant-blog]

Glad the feeling’s mutual.

[keelymullen-blog]

This...might be a one time thing, though..

[j-bryant-blog]

Crap, right. Okay.

Is it bad that I almost don’t care?

[keelymullen-blog]

I mean, it is for an Abnegation, but...I'm in the same boat as you.

[j-bryant-blog]

Shutting up now.

[keelymullen-blog]

We just...probably shouldn't do this in public. Stiff code, y'know?
