thinkimsuperman[Douglas is just sort of sitting around at the bar in the inn, and he's got the 'gear propped up on his bag, which is still filled mostly just with the basics and the things Heather sent him. He's pretty much moved permanently into a room in the inn at this point. Sheldon and Kal-El are fighting over some berries and come pretty near to knocking the 'gear over several times, so it's a while before Douglas can actually pay any attention to the feed he's sending out]
It's been a while since I've done this, hasn't it? Feels like it's been a while, anyway. This time I've actually got a point, though. I've been doin' some odd detective work for people around town lately, and it's got me thinkin'. I know there might not be much demand for this sort of thing, but if anybody needs to hire a private detective, you can contact me anytime. Figured it might do some good to advertise.
[then Kal-El knocks the 'gear over and Douglas sends him a scowl and holds it in his hands rather than risking it getting knocked over again]
I don't charge much. Really just got my room and food expenses to cover, so I'll do whatever you need for pretty cheap. Just send me some details if you have something you want me to work on.Got about twenty years of experience, and there's not a lot I can't handle, I like to think.

[Harry knows how horrible the world is.]

Date: 2012-03-07 11:43 pm (UTC)[Sometimes reading too much about the horrible nature of the world is bad for you.]
Oh yeah? Well I'm glad. I try to keep them interesting.

Date: 2012-03-08 08:27 pm (UTC)[a pause]
You can feel free to ask me anytime you need some research on that kind thing. I know it probably wouldn't be easy to come across information on it here.

Date: 2012-03-13 09:29 pm (UTC)[He shakes his head. How many sleepless nights had he had. even before Silent Hill?]
I'll keep that in mind. ...thanks.
[video]
Date: 2012-03-15 10:42 pm (UTC)[he remembers feeling that way when his son was alive, and he pauses for a brief moment]
No problem. It's the least I can do. [he offers a small smile]

Date: 2012-03-19 07:13 pm (UTC)Sometimes I wonder if anybody really knows how to parent without drivin' themselves crazy.
[a small chuckle]

Date: 2012-03-19 11:36 pm (UTC)[Now he's curious.]
Do you have kids?
[video]
Date: 2012-03-22 01:36 pm (UTC)[he pauses briefly]
I did. Had a son. He was actually a lot like Heather, before he started makin' all those bad choices and ended up... well, things didn't end so well for him.
[he looks far away for just a moment]
I'm just glad Heather's smarter than all that. You... you raised her right.
[video]
Date: 2012-03-26 02:43 am (UTC).....I'm sorry to hear that.
[Harry of all people knows what the loss of a child is like.]
[video]
Date: 2012-03-28 11:50 am (UTC)Thanks. You never really forget about 'em, even after it's been years...
But it's a good thing at the same time. Not forgettin'.
[video]
Date: 2012-03-29 01:52 am (UTC)It wouldn't be right to forget anyway....
[video]
Date: 2012-05-11 05:25 pm (UTC)It feels like it'd be an insult to their memory.
