Logan. Bar. Coffee.

He went home recently. Didn't much like it, so he came back. Things are chaos at the Casablancas house and in Neptune in general, and normally Logan would be thrilled, but his playmate's too busy for him at the moment, and Veronica and Duncan are still super-lovey.

Miliways is a better place to be at the moment.

He's pleased to be here, and looking for a chat.

((OOC: On way to cafe for homeworking, but will be online most of the night.))

"What else is going on at home?" She takes another sip of her coffee. "I tried that here, tried to escape...but home followed me. I think that might have been a good thing, though. At least I can see it that way now."

"But was she happy? I mean, when you can't be with someone, at least knowing they're happy...it helps a little."

She smiles slightly, "I bet you have to fight them off, Logan."

"Dad's in jail, for Lilly's murder. Her brother won't speak to me, and we used to be best friends. The only people that will talk to me are the Casablancas boys, and Dick's a royal jackass, and an idiot, and his brother's a wimp. Their dad just got arrested for insurance fraud, pushing my dad off the front page."

Logan omits his role in the affair, (Heh) and any mention of Veronica.

"It helps," he says simply, and only smiles at her last comment.

"It's probably still a shock to him. Have you talked at all?"

"He won't talk to me," Logan says quietly. "Won't call. Won't acknowledge my existence."

He touches his face lightly, where the bruise used to be. "Except to hit me when I twit his girlfriend. Who I'm in love with, by the way."

"He's probably having trouble separating his hatred for your dad and...his friendship with you." She tucks her hair behind her ear, "Unfortunately, there's also really nothing you can do...he has to work it out on his own."

She looks up, "That's a...complicated situation."

"Yeah," he says. "As if it weren't hard enough being happy for Lilly and Alain without having to try to be happy for Veronica and Duncan. That one, I can't manage."

"It's a different thing. Veronica's still outside and there's a glimmer of hope. But...Duncan, that's Lilly's sister? There's also those feelings of him not being there for you now when you need someone and...it's really hard. I'm sorry, Logan."

"It sucks," he says, and there's a note of resigned hopelessness in his voice. "Sometimes I think I should just leave Neptune totally, go to Europe or South America and just not be the person I am there anymore."

[ooc: That should be that's Lilly's BROTHER.]

"You could always hope to be Bound, I guess." She bites her lip slightly. "What would you do in Europe?"

((OOC: Hee, no worries.))

"Not be in Neptune," he says, shrugging. "Start over. Do something different. Anything different. Being Bound doesn't really solve anything, though. I've got to go back eventually."

"Do you have any relatives elsewhere?"

Logan shrugs. "A sister, but she's pretty much useless. I'm of age, anyway, and if my dad goes to jail, I'll get his money. No worries."
