Camping (locked to Joe, backdated to Sept 29th)

[echolls_cursed]

Seeing as how he and Neil had been fighting about damn near everything all week, Logan had been more than a little eager to go camping with Joe by the time Saturday morning rolled around. So eager, in fact, that he'd already been to the compound to find a sleeping bag in the clothes box (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle themed no less), and had packed his make-shift bag before Joe had even come to find him.

For once Logan was ahead of the game, knocking on Joe's door to see if he was ready.

God, he'd never thought he'd be so eager to stare at trees for nearly forty-something hours.

"Hey, you ready?" he asked, knocking once and then pushing the door open a crack. "I grabbed some food for us to take or whatever... so, uh, I'm ready to go when you are man."

"I don't think about it much anymore," Joe admitted. "After I couldn't follow Billy I stopped thinking about it because it didn't matter anymore, you know? I figured that I'd just say fuck it."

"I think about it sometimes," Logan said simply, deciding to leave it at that.

"What do you figure happens?" Joe asked curiously, stretching out a little and then looking over at Logan.

"I dunno. Maybe we go home. Forget everything. Pick up where we left off. Or maybe we move on to someplace else. New island. New world," Logan shrugged.

"Or maybe we get a second change. We go home, but we get to do things different."

Joe wasn't sure what he'd do different if he went home or even if he would at all, but maybe it was a nice thought. "Guess I'm not big on thinking about leaving people here," he answered after a moment.

"You think I am?" Logan asked, giving Joe a look.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Nah," Joe said with a shrug. "That's not what I said." He hadn't say anything about what Logan might or might not want.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

Logan just scowled, but he didn't argue. He didn't want to loose anyone. Not Joe, not Neil, not Anne or anyone else.

"I figure most of this island logic is beyond me anyway," Joe decided after a moment. "Dunno if it's even worth trying to figure it out anymore."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"I dunno," Logan sighed, looking at Joe. "Sometimes I just wish I knew what was next."

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"No one ever knows what comes next," Joe pointed out, shrugging a bit. "Isn't that what people say is the beauty of life or some bullshit like that?"

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"People are full of shit," Logan countered. "They have a platitude for every occasion."

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"You got that fucking right," Joe agreed with a nod, pointing two fingers over at Logan. "People are full of shit, you are so fucking right."

"You high man?" Logan asked curiously, wondering if maybe Joe had been sniffing the smoke from his joint.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Second hand high," Joe said with a snort of laughter. "No, man, not high. Just agreeing with you."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

Logan squinted a little, as if that would help him judge Joe's sobriety. "Yeah, alright, man," he replied. "I believe you."

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"How the hell would I get high when I've been sitting right here?" Joe asked with a grin. "You've been fucking with me the whole time."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Contact high," Logan said, pointing at Joe in return. Though really, the only stoned person there was him.

Logan was a little toasted.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"You're the stoned one," Joe replied in turn. Although he wasn't even sure what they were arguing about any more. "But I'm not high."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"You sure?" Logan asked. "Maybe you are and don't know it."

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"You spend as much time getting high as I did and you know," Joe assured him with a faint smirk. "You know, man."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

Logan seemed to consider that, and then nodded. "Alright," he agreed. "True enough."

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"And if I wanted to get high, I would," Joe decided. "Wouldn't sit around and inhale your second hand smoke."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Fuck you, in Neptune my second hand smoke is a delicacy," Logan grinned.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Not in fucking Neptune anymore," Joe pointed out, grinning in return. "Gotta take the bad with the good."
