Description As mentioned before, Jockey can't handle the zombie apocalypse very well and deals with it by being in denial about a lot of things. This includes the death of her loved ones, who she's sure are alive and well somewhere, all she has to do is find them. As she grows more attached to her teammates, she extends it to them - surely their loved ones are alive somewhere too, including Charger's dead husband. So whenever Jockey wants to cheer Charger up, she starts talking to her about how David's alive and well and can't wait to see her again, oh it'll be so great, she can't wait, which pretty much just stabs Charger in the heart over and over with the fact that her husband is dead and she'll never see him again.
BUT Charger knows that Jockey has problems dealing with it all, and she also knows that Jockey doesn't mean to hurt her and is really trying to make her feel better, but at the same time hearing this kind of stuff hurts. And when she feels bad Jockey tries to make her feel better by talking about him more, and all in all IT IS NOT FUN FOR ANYONE WHEEE
One reason why Charger rarely brings him up. Usually Hunter will try and redirect Jockey if she's bringing them all down like so. Smoker's a bit less delicate about it about telling her to stop as you can imagine.

Jockey unintentionally hurting Charger (and Hunter, to a lesser extent) is one of the reasons why Smoker doesn't like Jockey, haha.
Ray was one of Hunter's friends and popped up here , and Travis was Jockey's friend .


Jockey and Charger (c) Left 4 Dead 2, but these two survivor lady versions are 's.

is Jockey in denial or delusional? she seems thoroughly convinced rather than like she's pretending...

One of the perks of long hair: you can use it as a scarf. I actually do this myself sometimes.

I know this is meant to tug my heartstrings and all, but all I can think is "that is the BEST use for a long braid anyone could EVER hope to invent"

I will get to being properly mortified in a few moments.

a long while back,before i read the stories more,
I thought that David and Jockey where related somehow,like her godfather or dad or something,
so for a long time I thought that Jockey was Charger's niece or step daughter,but
i read the story and found out otherwise

I saw the flash containing the characters, and I have been wondering this...Why does charger have the bite marks around her eye? O3o

I'm pretty sure you have a comic for it, and if you do, just direct me to it, but it's been bothering me a little bit :b.

You break my heart with this series. I care more about these people than the average character in a horror survival movie. Perhaps because they are utterly human.

Hey i came across a song called the Long Road Home by The Beattels (i think thats its name) and i kinda made me think like what if the ladies found there homes and stuff and there friends were zombies but Jockey sees them all as being alive still
It would be so cool yet sad

But on a side note, i like how Jockey uses her braid as a scarf hehe.
I feel bad for both parties, since it wasn't Jockey's intention to hurt Charger. Still I wonder if she'll even figure it out that neither of them are gonna come back.

With no industry and maybe billions of people dead, the Earth would be rapidly cooling off and the weather is probably as messed up as Jockey.

In a way I feel bad for Jocky. But if I were in that situation and someone kept themselves in denial I'd tell them to shut the f***k up and move on with their lives.

Unfortunately I'm not as sugary as some people are xD

and I HATE IT when someone continually hurts someone else.

zarla In reply to FoggySin [2011-07-13 14:49:02 +0000 UTC]

Thing is it's not that easy to just get someone to stop like that. All that'd happen is Jockey probably having a breakdown and clinging all the more resolutely to her delusions to try not go completely off the deep end. IT IS A HARD SITUATION

FoggySin In reply to zarla [2011-07-13 15:07:02 +0000 UTC]

I know. I've met maaaaaaaaaaaany people like that.

I guess you could just say that I know everyone has ways of dealing with things, but when they cause pain to others then that's where I put my foot down.

Again, I do feel sorry for her, and I know that it's much harder to get a delusional person to realize what they're doing but..

BUT I HAFTA TRY D:
