[somewhat accidental, an upshot as he's holding the device loose in his hand. He is staring at the "toll booth" in front of the portal. Suitcase beside him as if he'd only just arrived. Looking a little healthier saved for the usual hollow eyed look of someone who believes sleep is a four letter word.]

Fuck me.

Fuck me. Fuck me.

[he hasn't gone through it yet, but then he can't seem to move from the spot. He sucks in a shaky breath and runs a hand through his hair]

Bloody hell.

Sometimes I feel like I've fallen in with a bunch of crazy people.

[ Said more to himself than Alec. Then: ]

Is there any reason you feel you have to?

[scotch_egg]

Same here. [it doesn't help that the closest to him were also the craziest]

No. Other than... you know, people who have gone through. It's great, they say. We got rid of all the murderers.

Something about vengeful gods or some sort of horseshit

[hoponpop]

Are you sure the portal doesn't just make you crazy?

[scotch_egg]

No. Everyone I know is the same level of mad they were before.

[hoponpop]

That's real encouraging.

[scotch_egg]

Nothing about this is any way encouraging.

[hoponpop]

So you trying it?

[scotch_egg]

Fuck. No. You couldn't pay me enough.

[a beat]

You?

[hoponpop]

I don't know. Everything's worth trying once.

Not anytime soon though.

[scotch_egg]

Not everything. Some things are worth leaving be because there are some things you can't get back.

[hoponpop]

...True. Do you feel like this is one of those things, then?

[scotch_egg]

I wouldn't want to risk it. Not here. Not now

[hoponpop]

Well...I'd say don't, then.
