The Second Turn [anonymous text/video]

[anonymous text] Hollow Comfort

a question
by now many of you have realized your situation
and where we are and what this place is
so to those that have embraced this world:
what do you find worthy of your time?
how do you find meaning in this nothingness?
how can you say that helping someone is worth anything?
when they might not be here next week
right now i don't see the point in anything
and would like a different perspective


[video] When the Piper Seeks his Fee...

[Vaggie looks up on the camera as she sits on a bench in Everglade looking morose as usual. Beside her are a set of boxes and bags, and she seems to be peering soberly at the camera.]

Well, it finally happened. Those little red bills they gave me are finally down to the last few. And as charming as it is to sleep out in a back alley or under a newspaper in the park, I don't really find that all that appealing.

So, uh...

...yeah, I'm asking for a job. Not asking for much, but it does have to pay. I've done some bookkeeping stuff in the past, and maybe a few odd jobs here and there. Its not exactly like I have references. But if you have something or have heard of someone that is hiring, help a girl out? Thanks.

Oh, and if that job is Torchwood -- I'm not interested.
tipmyscales: I'm fine, thanks. (Gentle Smile)

There's plenty that's worthy of doing around here. Just because this world might be temporary doesn't mean we can't do good while we're around.

Here, just as anywhere else, there's going to be people in trouble or down on their luck. Just because we're stuck in this world doesn't mean it doesn't matter, to them or you.

Despite losing people and how painful that feels, what else can we do but just live our lives? In a world like this, maybe they'll come back, maybe they might not, and it sounds cruel. But...I don't really believe that's all there is to this place.

But if you don't find something to keep you occupied, you're going to lose your mind. I speak from experience - feeling hopeless isn't easy or pleasant, but being here certainly isn't 'nothing' to me. It's a second chance, even if I miss people dear to me...
