Still doesn't make it any less irritating.

[A beat, the redhead exhaling through his nose. Man, she reminds him of Damian a lot. It kind of aches.]

I haven't seen my dad since I was twelve and I'm a lot happier for it. I hope you can get there, too.

[threatmewted]

...

Did he become an asshole after... all that happened, too?

[gluttoning]

...

Something like that, yeah.

[Was his dad different after Mom died? Yeah, for sure. Was that what made him truly snap?

...

Well. It's not like it matters now.]

My oldest brother got us out of there as soon as he was old enough.

[threatmewted]

Hah. Wish that were me. But getting out is waaaaaay too expensive.

[gluttoning]

Yeah. [No need to sugar coat that. Lucas was STILL handling the legal fees from that case and it was coming up on a decade now.]

You're still too young, I guess?

[threatmewted]

Nope. Just too "inexperienced" for anything that'd pay me enough to get out already.

[gluttoning]

Damn. [His hands slide into his pockets, fisted tight. So she's probably older than him and still stuck...]

Any friends that'll let you couch surf, maybe?

[threatmewted]

Hah! Good one.

[C'mon Steakboy, does she really strike you as the type with friends?]

[gluttoning]

[A helpless shrug.] That's a no?

Sorry. I'm covering my bases here. It really sucks.

[threatmewted]

[Another shrug.]

Whatever. It won't kill me to stick around until I have enough saved up to move out. So.

[She will eat these words almost immediately in an hour or two when she gets trapped in the game with no one around to find her.]

[gluttoning]

As long as you're sure.

Hopefully the game is a decent distraction. [...] Oh. When it's not being a weird mirror portal room, anyway.

[threatmewted]

It's alright. Doesn't look like they've got much in the way of NPCs or story planned out yet, but the basic system seems solid... when it isn't a weird, intrusive, buggy mess.

[gluttoning]

This feels like a really bad bug.

[Still, he flips open his HUD to send her a friend request.]

There. Not a couch to surf on, but if you ever want company. I try to be on if it's not a training day for me.

[threatmewted]

Um, hello? I just got done explaining how I'm doing perfectly fine?

[Dude!!!!!!!!!!!









...She'll still accept the friend request though.]

[gluttoning]

Yeah, I heard.

Even okay people need company. That's all.

[He's not budging against the sassy, so either he's an idiot or just stubborn.]

[threatmewted]

Haven't needed any before. But I mean, if it makes ya feel like you're helping.

[gluttoning]

[He shrugs.]

You didn't need help.

Do you like blowing off steam in the dungeons? I don't always have my DPS around.

[threatmewted]

[She seems to consider it for a moment, but...]

Nah. I'll finish checking out the rest of the carnival and call it a day. It's way too toasty here.
