 		[UPDATE] Peeps is Found!
- he managed to get across the country back to Santa Monica
Wow! Kimer was on to something after suggesting contacting Nedd.

I went with my heart and remembered that Higgs was like "best buds" with Peeps last year.

Subject: Peeps is Missing

I'm not sure if Happy told you directly, or if you read her LJ entry. If neither, then you need to know that Peeps has wandered off after hearing the news - he is Kevin's biological father.

I think Happy is on her way back home now - I'm sure she has been calling Ben more than once a day from the road. If you get a chance to update her, please let her know that Peeps still hasn't shown up. We're all worried.

You seemed to have gotten to know him pretty well last summer (before that Woodlawn incident). Do you have any idea where he might have gone to think things over?

Hugz,

Kona,

Tell the others not to worry. Peeps is here in Santa Monica with me. Thanks for writing to me with the heads up. I've been so slammed that I have not checked out anything online in like a week. Peeps showed up on my doorstep yesterday morning. He said he needed a place to crash. I had no idea anything was up. Just figured he was traveling around after the big release from the dark side's in between.

It's weird, he hasn't said anything about Dwin. That is amazingly cool. I guess I should check out Happy's journal for the details. It is still really early here.. I'm heading out for my sunrise run. (I've made a few resolutions this week about my life that include watching the sunrise at least three times a week. More on that later.)

But when Peeps gets up, I'll see if I can get him to open up. I think I should be really careful... I can tell he's in a totally sad place right now. I took him to My Father's Office last night just to hang and he barely said a word. So, cool, Kona. Don't worry. I will keep an eye on our ordinary man. And I will check in with you later.

 		[EMAIL] 8/21 - Higgs got a JOB! Peeps walking on the Beach

Huzzah!
You have no idea how frantic we were starting to get around here (and over there). I hope he feels he can open up to you and spill what is eating him up inside - cause Dwin (Kevin) wants to spend time with him. I know that Peeps' jackel past is haunting him - he doesn't want that kind of legacy for his son. But we know it's not his fault - it was the brainwashing. Kevin is not going to have to grow up like Peeps did. Kevin will have a loving family (not a mental institute for orphans). And Peeps overcame all that Spoocheeeee crap to break away to become an ordinary man. That shows Peeps he has character, he has strength, and he has a lot to offer his son.

-------------------------------
Now - about your update.
You've been slammed? With what? Do tell!
I love mornings - best time of day for exercise (maybe it was all those years of 6a swim practice that made me a morning person).

Peeps won't talk about it yet. I asked him about Maine and he just said, "Maine is a beautiful place." Nothing more. I took Peeps with me to see Trinket and Ben, who are both hanging out at Jayne's until Happy returns. Trinket, Jayne and Peeps just left here to hike along the beach at Point Dume. Maybe he'll open up to Trinket and Jayne.

So, yeah, I've been completely slammed with Ben and Trinket and cleaning this apartment. You cannot imagine the state of this place when I "returned". I would say "funky" but it was way more than "funky". I'm also recovering physically. I've been through hell, Kona. I went to a place in my head and my soul that should have stayed in the dark... I'm pretty sure you know what I mean. I also got a call to teach an introductory to physics course at SMC. The pay isn't huge, but it's a cool way for me to check out teaching. I might dig being a teacher. And I love the idea of riding my bike to work. You're a swimmer? Have you seen the new pools at SMC? They're sick!

I will check in with you later if Jayne and Trinket manage to get our bud to come out of his shell.

 		Putting my thinking cap on....
So. If Peeps spent time w/ Trinket, Ben, and Jayne, and Higgs is also spending time w/ them, maybe some of you guys that have had contact w/ Trinket and Jayne in the past could email them to see what their take on the situation is?

Do we have contact info for Jayne other than Happy's LJ?

Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like we're missing something???
EDIT: By "something", I mean something obvious...but then again, I've felt like that since I stumbled onto uF, so maybe it *is* just me. Rolling Eyes

 		Reaching out to Peeps
This was sent to Peeps via his MS account:

Body: Dearest Thomas,
I'm not sure if you are checking into this account, but I thought I would give it a try anyway.

I understand that you are feeling adrift in this world. For all that you've been through, how could you not. The re-entry into our world from the darkside...thoughts of Spoocheeeee forever haunting you...memories of lost love and the horror she must have faced in room 505; all brought to the front of your mind...the shock of discovering that your precious child survived; all so much more than an ordinary man could bear. But you, dear Peeps, are no ordinary man! You are strong, and brave, and thoughtful, and kind...you are extraordinary!

There's a young man patiently waiting to hear from you. (Have you read his LJ? http://oppmer.livejournal.com/) His hopeful heart is open to you. He wrote, "Please come home". I know that you will not let him down. He's your friend...he's your son. You need each other.

The Sammeeeees everywhere, throw out a life line of comfort and support to you. Grab hold of it, Peeps. Let us help you drift back to the here and now, away from the sadness of the past. There is truth and light ahead. Look to the future. Reach out to Kevin. You cannot fail.

Your friend,
drizabella

Naturally, I'll post any response if one arrives.

 		Embarassed Thank you enaxor and dashcat. You're both so kind.

I see that Peeps has logged onto his myspace account today and that he's read the above message.
He doesn't have to reply to it; I'd be most happy to see him comment on Kevin's LJ instead.

 		Yup, that sounds so beautiful. I keep refreshing Kevin's LJ, waiting for Peeps to comment. Or Kevin to tell us that Thomas has called & spoken to him.

Hello Drizabella,

Today is the first day that I have checked into my emails and MySpace and I am so very grateful that I did.

This has been a very, very difficult week for me. You put it so beautifully when you said I was "feeling adrift". This is exactly how I feel, Drizabella. I feel like I'm drifting somewhere between life and death. It's just that so many parts of my soul seem to be lost to the dark side forever. I guess I am mourning for all that could have been. I can't stop thinking about Margaret. Drizabella, I had not thought about Margaret in so long. It was too painful to relive that chapter of my life. And to finally close that book... it is so hard to know she is gone forever. She was the most lovely young woman. Margaret was the first person who saw only the kindness in my heart. My desire to be simply an ordinary man started all those years ago with Margaret. That day in the hospital, right before we were caught by Mister Trumbo, she sweetly whispered to me, "I only have one wish. I wish that you and I and the baby could run away from all of this. I wish there was no Spoocheeeee and that we could be an ordinary family. We would be happy forever and ever. Wouldn't we? Wouldn't we?" I can still hear her sad voice and feel her breath as she said this.

I must confess I also find myself thinking about my brother, Alan, as well. As horrible as he was, he was my brother and it hurts my heart so deeply that I could never know his heart. I feel sad for this man who suffered from so much pain that he became a monster. What a horror his life must have been.

Please know I am trying so very hard to let go of all this darkness and concentrate on the light of life. Dear friends, like you, certainly make the light side of my life so wonderful. I am clinging to all of you every moment of every day. You are all very helpful. Today I took my first step. Reading the notes from you and others have touched my heart. I am so lucky to have you Sammeeeees in my life to hold my hand. Thank you.

I promise I will go to Kevin's journal. Thank you for telling me about it. I want you to know that I am not turning my back on Kevin. I just want to be able to return to him without this darkness at my side.

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful note.
You have made me feel that I cannot fail.
Thomas

I'm grateful.

 		When in IRC yesterday, Driz suggested I write to Peeps. I was a bit nervous, but it didn't take much prodding as I was eager to do something. :)

What I wrote:

Date: Aug 24, 2007 8:45 PM
Subject: More support than you know.

Hoy there, Peeps.
Drizabella urged me to send an e-mail to you. I don't know what to say, really. I know you don't know me, and most of the Sammeeeees don't know me either. I guess I'm somewhat of a Sammeeeee lurker. Not sure if I could be considered a Sammeeeee at all, but Driz thinks I am. So I guess I'll get on with it.

I just wanted you to know that we care for you, Thomas, and that you mean a lot to us. I don't pretend to know how it felt to be on the other side, in the darkness, I never was even a Raven. But I do know it had to be a lot on everyone. More for you, than anyone. And I guess that it's really something I can look up to. Not that you were there, but that you, after going through all that, still have the chance to pull through. That you still have the strength to reach out, to have a family, to be able to love. You wanting to wait until you've shed the darkness from you to talk to Kevin shows that.

I know you have the strength, I know that you will pull through, and I believe in you. I support you. And it's just not only all the Sammeeeees that contacted you that support you. It was just a chance in a million that I wrote to you. Which means there are many, many more there to lift you up.

We support you, Thomas, Peeps.
We love you.

Signed,
~Xeraans.


I got a reply back from him this morning.

Hello ~Xeraans,

Thank you for your very thoughtful and very kind hearted note. It means so much to me to know that I have a family of friends that are with me in this world. As I type this I am realizing that this is my struggle right now. I need to be in "this world". I need to let go of a world that no longer exists... and a world that never existed. I probably sound crazy. I can only say that I am doing my best to find my way.

I just returned from the beach. Higgs has insisted on taking me to watch the sunrise each day. We don't speak. We simply sit on the beach and wait for the sunshine. We even went the other day when the fog was in... Higgs is convinced the sun will heal me. I believe I am healing. Perhaps it is the sun... but I tend to believe it my friends that are healing me. Thank you for reaching out to me. I can't tell you how moved I am whenever I hear from someone that I have never met and they come to me with such kindness. It is a wonderful feeling. Thank you.

I hope all is well with you. Take care, ~Xeraans.

Thomas


I was ecstatic with glee.

 		Welcome to the crew Xeraans.

Nice email to Peeps sounds like you hit a chord with him which is great

Its always fun to get a character reply to you but you will never forget the first time

By the way as far as I am concerned you are now a fully fledged Sammeeeee.

 		[EMAIL] Trinket 8/27 - Happy arrived home last night
- she has been hanging out with Peeps & Higgs

I hope you have made as good a recovery as possible. Higgs said that today you went to Point Dume (I miss the sea air of Malibu) with Peeps. I'm sure Higgs filled you in on the big news.

Did Happy make it home yet? I hope this summer's adventure means that Ben will be closer to his mother.

And I hope that you can find a way to be closer to your parents - cause you probably realize now how important family is to everyone's psyche.

Please talk to Happy - she saw your sister before being released from her bondage to the Eidolon. I have learned a lot this summer...and one thing was to have faith in the wisdom & love of Mithras. Once the light was shown, the truth prevailed. Tutu was needed in another place. No pain, no regrets, no remorse. She will live on with your memories and your tribute. And you will honor her with what ever you choose to do with your life.

Hugs. We Are Sammeeeees, forever.

I'm doing better. Thanks for asking.

Happy got home late last night. She's crashed right now. I'm about to head out the door with Higgs and Peeps to watch the sunrise. Higgs has convinced me that it might help me with my feelings of loss as well to sit on the beach while the sun comes up. Seems to be great for Peeps. He's is doing much better. He's kinda talking about his feelings and he said last night that he will probably leave for Maine in a few days.

I will definitely hang with Happy and ask her about Tutu. You know, I get it. I know Tutu's gone forever and I'm okay with saying goodbye. It's just that I miss her so much and I'm still adjusting to the idea that she'll never be coming home. I spent so much time believing I was somehow chasing after her and would be able to find her or save her or rescue her... I kept the idea of her being gone forever out of my mind. Now I must face it and let her go.

My parents have returned to New Hampshire. Our relationship is very tense right now, but you're right about me trying to make it better with them. I will. Peeps has invited me to visit Maine. I'm thinking I will go in a few weeks when the leaves are changing. I can hang with Peeps and everyone and then see my Mom and Dad while I'm back there.

Thanks for everything, Kona. You're an awesome friend to have gone through so much for all of us. As Higgs would say "You so rock!". And you're totally right on...
we are Sammeeeees forever. Smile

Hello enaxor,

Thank you for your kind note. I am happy to tell you that I am returning to Maine tomorrow morning. It is time. This last week has been difficult, but I am ready to move forward. I must admit that I am still struggling, but I believe I am ready to face my life again. Thank you, enaxor, for being such a good friend. I would be lost without you and the other Sammeeeees. I promise I will let you know how my reunion with Kevin goes. We just spoke on the phone and he sounds very excited to have me there for his last week in Maine.

Take care, enaxor.
