Working on my 5 year plan

Headvoice CPR. To revive muses and their voices.

Anyone can talk to any of my characters or role play with them here. Just comment!

Alternatively, ask a character a question, any question, and they HAVE to answer completely honestly. Have to. It's the meme rule. Even if they'd normally lie, they suddenly have been hit with a truth serum of some kind and must tell the truth.

I listed my muses by name and fandom below:

conflictedagent - Renee Walker (24)
cynical_shadow - The Banker (Deal or No Deal USA)
didanexperiment - Terrence Allenby (OC)
johncasey - John Casey (Chuck)
nerdherdchuck - Chuck Bartowski (Chuck)

We used to do show and tell every couple weeks in preschool and kindergarten.

I remember back when I was in kindergarten, I brought in this Return of the Jedi pop-up book. I loved that thing when I was a kid. There was a page where there would be a light saber battle between Luke and Darth Vader and the pull tab would make the beams go up and down and there was one where this net would go up and stuff.

Okay...so by then, Return of the Jedi was three years old. And some of my classmates thought I was a total nerd for wanting to bring this thing in. But it was one of my favorite books and was a bit worn from being read a few times over. It still was in decent shape though.

Despite a few snickers, I got through Show and Tell okay talking about how much I liked the book. I thought everything would be all right and I could take my treasured book home to enjoy later. But on my way back to my mat, this kid, Jason Fredricks, took the book from me and ripped part of my book. He ripped Darth Vader's light saber from the book and threw it in the trash. I remember running frantically to the trash can trying to find it amidst the pile of empty milk cartons from snack time.

My teacher ended up putting Jason in a time out and while she was doing so, I managed to find the light saber piece and placed it inside the book to repair when I got home.

That night, I told my Dad about what happened at Show and Tell.

"I almost cried," I told him. "But I didn't wanna seem like a baby."

"I know you love that book and I'm sure we can patch it up," he assured me. And with some surgical precision and clear Scotch tape, he mended the torn light saber. "There. Good as new....almost."

I tugged the pull tab and Luke and Darth could still fight each other fairly well, even with the tape. "Yeah. Thanks, Dad."

He patted my head and went off on his own while I amused myself with the pop up light saber battle.

Posted with the hope Dad will read this.

Dad,

Wherever you are, I hope everything's okay. Thanks for everything you've done for me and hope to see you again soon.

Love,

Chuck

I think Sarah basically broke the law for me. She wasn't supposed to use her security clearance to find out about my father. But she did. And...I still kinda can't believe she risked so much for me. I mean...is that basically treason what she did? I don't quite know the penalties but still. She risked everything, or almost everything, because she thought I had a right to know and that the government should do something for me after all I've done for them.

I'm grateful. I mean, I finally got to see my dad after so many years. And now I know the truth about why he left, even if Ellie probably never will. It's a shame, but it is for her own safety.

I disobeyed orders too. I wasn't supposed to reload the Intersect but I did and it worked in ways I never imagined. Now I know Kung Fu? How did that happen?

And what do I do now?

Okay, now I know I'm rambling and getting off topic. But we all had good intentions for disobeying orders. It's just really gonna complicate things for us.

That much I know for sure...

What a depressing idea for a topic. But I guess I'd be buried and have a wake and stuff.

Okay, I'm done talking about this.

[Locked to those who know about his secret life]

I wonder what would happen if I really had to fake my death. It almost happened a couple of times with me nearly being locked in some underground bunker. Obviously, very few people could know what really happened to me. Everyone else would probably be told that I died.

So there would be a fake funeral, I guess. I guess they'd either make up a dummy for my body. Or maybe my death cover story...I dunno what else to call it...would make me die in some sort of explosion so there wouldn't really be a body exactly. Then, well, maybe it would be like a cremation since...well my body kinda would have been burned up.

...

This is getting very morbid and I'm done talking about this scenario too. [/unlocked]

I have one sibling, my older sister Ellie. I live with her and her fiance Captain Awesome in an apartment in Echo Park.

Ellie and I get a long very well. We look after each other. And...we especially have ever since our parents left us. Ellie sorta took on the duel role of being part sister, part mom. I dunno if I ever really filled the 'man of the house' role, though the fact that Devon actually asked me if it was okay to marry Ellie was pretty special.

I know Ellie wants what's best for me. She often tries to get me to move on with my life. I know she'd like me to kinda...well, leave the Buy More, at least. Maybe move out on my own? Though she definitely doesn't want me to get a place with Morgan. THAT she made perfectly clear.

[Visible to Sarah and Hiro]

But I kinda...I kinda wish Ellie could know what I'm doing. I know she'd worry about me and my role in the spy world. Plus it might put her in danger.

I just hate lying to her. And I don't know what would happen if she ever found out. She was awfully close during the 49B. I mean, if she hadn't turned back to talk to her co-worker, she would have seen me dressed as a doctor and some strange lady dressed as a nurse.

Yeah, like I could explain that one...

[Visible to those who know of his secret life, except for Libby]

August 11, 2019

I don't want my niece to ask me about the specifics of my job. Especially now. She's far too young for that discussion.

I worry about what I've said and done already. I've hinted I've had to hurt bad people to her and sometimes good people have gotten hurt too. She rationalized it was because bad people did things to hurt the good people. It's not a lie but it's not the whole truth either.

But I believe it's enough of the truth, at least for now.

When Libby screamed last night, I dashed into her room, armed. I don't think she saw the gun in my hand. The dark seemed to hide the weapon until I put it away.

She didn't mention it yesterday morning and I wasn't about to bring it up either.

I know I'll soon have to tell her I'll be away for a few weeks. I'm being temporarily reassigned. The reason isn't related to anything that has happened here. It's due to the fact that I have a connection with a suspect.

If Libby asks, I'll tell her it's a mission my boss assigned me to capture a bad guy.

Beyond that, I'm not telling her anything else.
