[Biff is sitting in the greenhouse. He's a bit red about the eyes, like he may have been crying a little. But that's just silly. It's Biff, after all.

In any case, he's smiling right now.]

I've spent a lot of time here trying to explain to others why I love like I do. Not sex. I don't mean sex, though I enjoy that, too. Sex is wonderful. And pizza. Bacon. Coffee. Those are little things that make life worth living. I'm talking about love, though: for friends, for family, for lovers. You know. The brotherly kind of love. Loving is easy. The Beatles really know what they're talking about. It's all you need.

[For a moment, he looks like he might sing, then grins. 'Gotcha.' Not going to subject Rassilon to that again.]

People here are so unwilling to trust, to give their hearts, when really, it's so simple.

[Biff gives a self-deprecating sigh and bows his head slightly. With a funny sort of smile, he goes on:]

I've never been very good at writing speeches. It took all fourteen of us to write the Beatitudes, and my biggest contribution was to stop Joshua from adding "Blessed are the dumbfucks, for they shall never be disappointed." Knowing what I know now, we should have left that part in. It could have gone viral. T-shirts. Bumper stickers. A whole ad campaign directed towards the dumbfuck demographic.

[Jazz hands.]

[With a soft laugh, he nods to himself, then goes on in the same calm tone:]

So I'll just say this:

My best friend died out of love of all mankind. You should all live for it.

Live for love.

[He pauses to let that sink in, then continues in a lighter, happier tone:]

I don't think I'll say anything else, because I wouldn't want to sound like a fuckstick as I make my grand exit.

Just this: To those I have known, I will miss you. To those I haven't, I will regret not knowing you.

[He furrows his brow thoughtfully, then mutters to himself in amusement:]

...If my life were a movie, there would be a montage right now. Journey's Don't Stop Believing would play over it. I'm a Journey kind of guy.

[With that, he smiles broadly and cuts the feed.]



[Warden Filter]

Someone new will have to supervise the greenhouses, I'm afraid. I'm going home now.

It has been a pleasure to be here with all of you.


[Friends Filter]

I will be here until Thursday. I wouldn't want to miss just one more slice of Parker's bacon pizza.


[Private to Persephone]


Love well, Persephone.


[Private to Molly]

I have had fun with you, and I have loved you. You will always have a piece of my heart, Molly Carpenter.


[Written to Joshua]

I'm going home. Maybe Maggie misses me. Maybe she doesn't. But I'm going to go be with her, anyway.

I miss you both every day.

I hope I see you again.





[OOC: Per this thread, Biff's done his job and is going home. :) ]

To Journey.

Rock on my brother. Rock on.

[blesseddumbfuck.livejournal.com]

To Journey.

Thank you very much.

[strangehistorian]

Congratulations. [Grinning ear to ear. Which doesn't happen a lot.]

[blesseddumbfuck.livejournal.com]

Please don't forget to congratulate Persephone. She has not only graduated, but she also rehabilitated a dead criminal.

And thank you.

Therapist, writer, gardener, musician, free love advocate?

[He doesn't sound like he's making fun of the guy.]

Is there anything you don't do?

[Private]

[blesseddumbfuck.livejournal.com]

I don't walk on water.

[Private]

[expectremorse.livejournal.com]

...good to know.

[Private]

[blesseddumbfuck.livejournal.com]

Joshua never taught me that party trick.

Or the one with the loaves and fish.

Will you be all right, Hoffman? I worry for you.

Re: [Private]

[expectremorse.livejournal.com]

I was thinking about that Justus guy you were talking about. The Roman soldier, one cop to another you know?

...I'll be okay.

[Private]

[blesseddumbfuck.livejournal.com]

Yes, I remember the conversation. What were you thinking?

[Private]

[most_feared]

You did a good job.

[And a pause.]

And I have reasons to thank you for it. They might not make sense to you. But the world could probably stand a bit more gratitude.

[Private]

[blesseddumbfuck.livejournal.com]

I did not do much. I just...listened. And talked.

But thank you.

[feels-no-love.livejournal.com]

Goodbye, Biff. Thank you for your conversations.

[blesseddumbfuck.livejournal.com]

I will miss you, Vlad. Thank you.

Will you be all right?

[feels-no-love.livejournal.com]

I can never afford to lay claim to anyone, or expect them to be around for long. Therein lies a path to disappointment. I will miss our conversations. But that is the way of things, especially here.

[blesseddumbfuck.livejournal.com]

You will always be in my thoughts. I hope I will always be in yours. Distance doesn't mean I'm not around, Vlad.

[feels-no-love.livejournal.com]

I suppose so, in a manner of thinking. Certainly I hope the best for you in your return home.

[blesseddumbfuck.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

Rehabilitate quickly so I can say the same for you.

[lotoftrouble.livejournal.com]

I'll miss you, Biff.

And for what it's worth, I think 'blessed are the dumbfucks' is a wonderful commandment.

[blesseddumbfuck.livejournal.com]

There are a lot more dumbfucks than there are 'meek'.

I'll miss you, too, Loki. Very much.

[lotoftrouble.livejournal.com]

The Barge is a perfect example.

I'll miss you as well.

[private]

[goodgrasshopper]

Oh, Biff. I have loved you, and I have enjoyed spending time with you--in every way that we've spent time together. I'm... really going to miss you. I hope we see each other again someday.

[private]

[blesseddumbfuck.livejournal.com]

I may come back someday, to do this again. I hope you are here, if I do.

You and Mouse and your purple hair.

[private]

[goodgrasshopper]

I hope so, too. You always make me smile, and I'm going to miss that.

[small smile] Mouse had to stay behind when we went home. But my purple hair and I hope to see you again.

[Private]

[toldastory]

Goodbye, Biff. I'll miss you more than you know.
