002 | [ video / action ]
[ When the feed comes to life Sam is sitting outside leaning against a tree. He's sweaty and breathing heavy, but that's what happens when you just get finished with a run. The stiffness in his ankle has pretty much vanished now that he's started running a lot more since he broke it. He's back up to his old times even if that is below Steve Rogers standards. ]
So--[ He smiles. ]--those blind dates were pretty weird huh? I mean they were nice. I get that their heart was in the right place, but was anyone else just a tad weirded out by how detailed and specific they were to each couple? I got a new friend out of the deal, but it still felt really odd.
[ He's not upset about the date. Neal was a good guy. Having dinner with him on the rooftop wasn't the worst night he's ever had. It was weirdly romantic for two straight guys who didn't even know each other, but free food and a good talk is hard to find sometimes. Though probably not here. ]
Not what I really wanted to talk about though. [ He sits forward and gets closer to the camera. ] I used to run support groups in the VA center back in DC and I was thinkin' about starting something similar to that here. Coming here isn't really that easy and it's gotta be rough on some people. Maybe you want someone to talk to about it? A group setting where you can talk about concerns or just issues back home you didn't get to rectify. I know a few people got some of those. Maybe they're scared that they won't get a chance or they're scared to go back? [ He shrugs. ] Give it a thought. If you'd wanna come just hit me back. I gotta go see if I left my lungs a mile back. [ He smiles and shuts the feed off. ]

[He can't help it--he snorts. In a fairly derogatory manner.
Even if he would benefit from some therapy. Not that he'll ever admit to that.]
I can't decide if that's a good idea, or an incredibly idiotic one.
no subject
[ Because Sam ain't gonna deal with your shit, bro. He's seen a lot of people get put off of getting help because they were scared of what people around them would think about them. ]
If you got a problem I'd like to ask you to reserve your skepticism for private. It's comments like that which scare people outta talking to someone. Alright?
sorry for the late reply!
[He is not an example of that, shut up.]
I didn't say anything about those who might attend, I don't care if they do or don't. But I think I'm allowed to be skeptical about the idea of therapy in Wonderland.
[But hey, he's not stopping anyone from starting a support group, nor is he stopping anyone from going. He's just really doubtful that it'll do anything for anyone.]
