He wants attention, surprise surprise - Canon is 'Next to Normal'

[im_alive_im_alive]

Right - so we're on the same page, you're the one posting on some sad little online community, hoping someone will 'tag' you and let you pretend to be a teenage boy for a few hours...and I'm the one who wants attention?

Got it. Just checking. Thought I'd get some clarification there.

Attention, affirmation of abilities, gratification and an antidote for boredom I've found tends to be their reasons. It's just another mask they can wear for a few hours.

[You say many words, but he's still going to roll his eyes and scoff]

Creepiest cure for boredom I've ever heard of.

[Daken laughs]

Clearly you've never seen LARPers. That's a whole other ball park.

[Quirking an eyebrow, Gabe smirks in return]

I've got a pretty good idea..

So. You been around here long?

[dakenspoorlifechoices]

Think Lord of the rings but without the budget or filming.

Here? Not too long, but I've been around a while otherwise.

[im_alive_im_alive]

And I'm hoping this is where you tell me there's something to do other than having my mun parade me around like a show pony

[Winning smile - that always works]

Come on; tell me I'm right

[dakenspoorlifechoices]

Torment other people and potentially give them an existential crisis about their fate. I find that's a very fulfilling past time.

[Oh how cute. He thought he could win him over with charm.]

It's up to you how you work it. I find going on strike helps if you don't like what they're doing with you.

[im_alive_im_alive]

[He can't help but smirk a little wider at that. Tormenting people - in some form of the word, anyway - was something he was rather used to doing]

Sounds like a trip

[He's a precious gem what are you talking about Okay, so not quite what he was hoping to hear. But it's something, at least.]

I'll have to bear that in mind..

[dakenspoorlifechoices]

[He gives a shrug]

The alternative is being sent to a musebox or a community where you have to play nicely with other people's 'pups' - it's patronising really.

Well there's a general trend of 'torturing' us that seems to be so appealing.

Hup! Oh ho, no you didn't just outright bash through the fourth wall like a jug of cultjuice.

I love it when shit goes down. I'd love to hear the defense.

Why in Fuck is there no 'DEAR FUCKIN MUSE'?

[im_alive_im_alive]

[Okay he has no idea what you just said - though the second part causes an audible groan]

I don't even want to think of the bitching and whining that'd happen there if it was a real place. I mean, Jesus - looking through half the posts here? It's all the same stuff.

[aaron_agate]

Maybe, but then I think I'd feel less bad about jumping down the throats of low end of the bell curve.

[im_alive_im_alive]

They know what they're getting into by bringing us here; no point in feeling bad for something they probably have coming

[daughterofair]

What-the-fuck-ever. Muns can be stupid. Anyone who thinks they can try to be my dead brother is clearly as delusional as Mom.

[She squints her eyes at him because hey, she isn't crazy as Mom, is she? But there's Gabe again, always there, so maybe she is.]
