The "Laura Palmer" from port is a really lucky woman. Married to someone she loves, working in her dream career, mother to a child she adores...she's happy, and she has every right to be. I wish her well, and I'm glad I got a taste of what it means to have a good life. I even liked being older...it's something I'd never get a chance to experience otherwise.

I can only hope inhabiting her body didn't hurt her, the way the goddess inhabiting mine hurt me.

In any case, I'm glad I fled the party when Arthas started attacking those strippers. The other Laura won't wake up to find she spent the night in jail, which is good. I tried so hard to maintain her reputation.

[Private to Paddy]

Do you think we could meet on-deck? I'd like to talk to you. Bring some cigarettes, if you don't mind.

[Private to Parker]

Please tell me there isn't going to be any weirdness between us now.

[Private to Nathan, after talking to Paddy]

Can I stay with you for a while?

You don't get it! He was right about me. He knew what I was even before I did.

No. He molded you into that. He told you it so often it became a self-fulfilling prophecy. He didn't know, he forced you to be it. That's why it's not your fucking fault.

Re: Spam

[intofireforever]

Then I should have known that. I should have known and fought it the right way, instead of letting him do that to me!

[yourunichase]

For fuck's sake, Laura, how old where you when this shit started?

Re: Spam

[intofireforever]

I don't know. I was so little that I can't remember.

Re: Spam

[yourunichase]

So you think you should have fighting before you could remember? No.

Re: Spam

[intofireforever]

I don't know. I don't know what to think!

Re: Spam

[yourunichase]

This is what to think. You think "maybe this fucker was a lying bastard who's wrong." You don't even need to think he is wrong yet, just that maybe he fucking is.

Re: Spam

[intofireforever]

Sometimes I do. It doesn't change anything.

Re: Spam

[yourunichase]

You need to give it time. Look at me, Laura. Fucking listen to me. You have to try.

[Laura looks her in the eye.]

I can't be fixed.

Re: Spam

[yourunichase]

Bullshit. Sorry, Laura, that's bullshit.

[Parker looked her right back dead in the eye. She didn't believe that, and she never would.]
