[There's a quiet crunching sound before Mulder speaks up, sounding thoughtful.]

Show of metaphorical hands. Or antennae, whichever you're partial to: Who here has been kidnapped for a special one-on-one date with our captors? I'd like to arrange an off-journal meeting to speak about your personal experiences if anyone happens to have some free time. It shouldn't take long, just a few minutes. I'll be hanging around the shops in town most of the day, I've got some... supplies I've been meaning to find. [Still looking for a basketball, woe and alas.] We can always head elsewhere from there, though.

I understand that it's a sensitive topic for most people, and it's all right if you'd rather not talk about it. Or if you'd rather be anonymous, just slip a note under my door detailing anything you can remember about the experience itself. Anything at all, before, during, after. Your answers will be kept in confidence. I'm in Community Building 7, Floor 2, Room 10.

Yes, I do agree with upon that matter. Especially if a very power evil is brought to the village, who knows what could happen.

Knowing that there are infinite worlds they could draw from... I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet. It could be only a matter of time.

Sitting and waiting for something is what I've found to be as frustrating as seeing the attack done itself.

[ action ]

[ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com]

I have to agree to that, the not being able to do much about a situation can be the worst.

[refinedmaestro.livejournal.com]

Does it bother you deeply when you see something that you can do nothing about?

[In his mind's eye he pictures his kid sister being abducted before his very eyes. His father, dying in front of him. Scully being abducted and getting sick.]

You could say that. Very deeply.

[He keeps his eyes on the other man.]

How do you deal with it? If it is not too rude of me to ask.

[ action ]

[ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com]

[Pursuing the truth to an obsessive degree or taking revenge... he's not one to let matters rest so easily.]

I do my damndest to find some way to fix what I couldn't prevent.

[refinedmaestro.livejournal.com]

There are some things in this world one must simply have to deal with even if we chose our paths poorly, trying to fix or mend is not always the solution.

[ action ]

[ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com]

What other solutions could there be?

[ action ]

[refinedmaestro.livejournal.com]

Simply trying to move on.

[ action ]

[ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com]

Something that's easier said than done in some cases, but... I know it's at least worth trying.

[ action ]

[refinedmaestro.livejournal.com]

I would assume so, but my belief is that certain things should at least be let to move on with.

[ action ]

[ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com]

Sometimes it's just... hard to let go. How do you manage it?

[ action ]

[refinedmaestro.livejournal.com]

Because I know some things cannot be fixed or returned to me.

[ action ]

[ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com]

[Nods slowly in understanding.] Sometimes... it comes to that. But I don't like giving up until I know that for sure.

[ action ]

[refinedmaestro.livejournal.com]

I think that's a good trait to have, Mister Mulder.

[ufo-fanboy.livejournal.com]

[He grins.]

Some people would call me a stubborn pain in the ass, but I'm glad to hear you think otherwise. Thanks for that. Oh... I'm not keeping you from anything, am I?

[Though he's really enjoying the conversation. This whole question thing has given him a lot of opportunity to learn more about the people here.]
