Summary: Carl was here. Now he's gone. Quick as that. (prose or brackets is fine, will match!)
The Story:

[She goes to the bar at eleven in the morning after spending the beginning of the morning being as sure as she can that Carl really is gone. No trace of him, no sign that he was even here for a couple weeks.

Weeks.

Not months, not some good length of time.

Weeks. Just long enough for her to think it'd be nice to have some kind of get together at her place to introduce him to people, rather than drag him around the mansion. Just long enough for her to think others might show up, give her a little bit of hope. In all honesty, she should have known better. That shit was too good to be true, and she's learned in the past few years, good things never last. Not Andrea, not the prison, not Alexandria.

So, she's at the bar, and she realizes she has no one to tell about this disappearance because she didn't get to say anything to anyone about him when he was here. She was selfish with him so that she could enjoy it, something that was just hers for a while, her own happiness, and now there's no one else who knows what she's drinking herself into oblivion for. Except Regina; she realizes it around four shots in. During the last event, she pointed him out, proud that he was there, that she could finally say she had someone from home. Dragging out her messenger, she sends a quick text to Regina (Not too early for tequila.) She doesn't want to say outright that Carl is gone so she leaves it at that. Maybe it is too early for this, maybe she's with her kid, her family. All of her family.]


Goddammit.

[Her single utterance is muttered to no one in particular before she takes another shot, then just takes a bottle of whiskey, sitting hunched over the bar, her entire body rigid, jaw clenched. She knows she'll never go back to the 'fuck people' mentality and isolate herself, there are still too many in the mansion who do care - she can admit that. But Carl's gone, her family, and she's pissed as hell at Wonderland today.]

[Circumstances being what they are, he'll skip the part about it being a pleasure to make her acquaintance. Maybe later when she's more sober and not neck-deep in personal tragedy.]

It's not crazy to want to save your skin. If it were, we'd all be crazy for wanting a better life.

[So if Wonderland represents an improvement on things, that's... great, he supposes? He, for one, prefers a place he can leave willingly when need be, but his issues with being controlled are his own particular brand of crazy.

He utters a humored chuckle in an attempt to stop her from thinking he's criticizing her and her sadness.]


And who wouldn't want to live in a mansion? Believe me, the free food and drinks aren't lost on me. [He gives the bar top a light slap and starts to straighten, seeing this as his cue to move on by.] At any rate, sorry to hear about your loss. Don't let me keep you from the liquid comfort.

I always do.

[His smile turns vaguely roguish as he makes his way past.]

And right back at you, stranger. I've gotten the impression saying goodbye to people isn't anything new in our home away from home, but you never know. A reunion could be in the cards for you.

[So Michonne should hang in there. Drink it away, cry it out, get angry, and... keep fighting. Easier said than done some days, but it's the best recipe Anders knows for pushing on.]
