Freedom's Apparently All I Need [Semi-Open, Bendytimed to End of Shore Leave]
He's got his passport.
He's also got a fake birth certificate, a fake ID card, a fake driver's license and insurance card, and hopes for a brand new life. And he has the same for Orc. That and a suitcase for each of them.
He has to leave the cats. That is, he thinks, the only downfall to the planet. You can't import live things, and he doesn't know how to smuggle them in, so he's going to entrust them to Cedric. Between that and the food stash, the knowledge that he's leaving things behind, things that he'll never get back, hangs heavy on his mind.
He's leaving people behind too. He can't forget that. He wanders through the streets of Agrestic with his new papers and his suitcase looking for the people he wants to say goodbye to before he and Orc escape this war forever. He's not even thinking about what he's going to say to them, hoping that somehow the magic words will appear on his tongue. But he has to say goodbye before he goes.
Away from the Daligig. Away from Stacy. Away from missions and more importantly, away from the threat of the FAYZ. Scared and sad as he is, there is a little skip in his step.
[OOC: he's looking for his closer CR, so new people may approach him but he'll probably brush them off. If your character hasn't met Howard and would like to thread with me drop me a line and I'll set up something new!]

"...what am I supposed to do without you around, huh?"
no subject
God, screw you, basic human decency."You'll find other jackass packrats like me. And you've still got Ter, right?"
no subject
It wasn't the same. Ter was fantastic. Best friend, probably. But she saw something of herself in Howie and she didn't want him to leave, because he'd seen through all of the bullshit and had still been her friend.
That fucker.
"You can't just... You're like the only decent breather on the damn ship."

"But isn't it better for both of us if I walk away now and don't end up dead? I mean, not even your kind of dead, but seriously dead. I've never been eaten like eight times on this ship."
no subject
There's not much she can think to say to that that isn't horribly irrational.
"But I want you to stick around! This-"
Karis hisses through her teeth.
"...fine. Leave me like everybody else does."
