Casually rifling through games

[billygoatgruff]

You eh... have a place? Maybe? You know, it's not so bad in here. It's warm, it has furniture. I don't mind just sitting here.

You... no you don't have to look anywhere.

Please.

Please?

[dead_boy]

Yeah, good luck with that.

[billygoatgruff]

It is better than not trying at all. I mean, what if I did nothing? It would be eh... bad for self esteem, yes?

[dead_boy]

Maybe, but isn't bringing it up just more likely to convince your mun to find a game for you? They like to do things specifically to make you uncomfortable.

[billygoatgruff]

They do that? Really?

... I thought she'd be sort of reasonable.

[dead_boy]

I dunno if all of them do... but mine does.

Maybe yours will be more reasonable.

[billygoatgruff]

Maybe I have a reasonable one! And... I will not go anywhere terrible. It could happen! Everything might be fine.

[dead_boy]

[You are just a ray of sunshine, aren't you? He can't help but smile, though it's a bit wry.] Maybe you do. And maybe you will. I sure hope so, because I ended up someplace pretty terrible. The few pros don't outweigh the massive cons.

Either that, or maybe you'll at least end up someplace better than where you came from. [Though if you're so happy, anywhere you're from can't really be that bad, can it?]

[billygoatgruff]

[He kind of has to be]

How bad can it be, really? I mean, as long as I am not on fire or something...

[You try being a gay Russian living in Siberia]

[dead_boy]

[He kind of laughs, a little.] Yeah, being anywhere and being on fire would suck. But there are some pretty bad places out there. When I'm at, I get my head messed with on a regular basis. It's not really something I'd like to keep repeating.

[Ouch, yeah. That might not be so great.]

[billygoatgruff]

That eh... does not sound good. Actually... I would not like to go there. But maybe somewhere warm? Sounds good, right?

[dead_boy]

Yeah, it's really not good. Not my idea of a great vacation from all the stuff going on back home.

[He smiles a little bit.] Warm is better than cold, yeah. But I wouldn't think someplace is okay to go just because it's warm.

[billygoatgruff]

No, it is not... Hm, maybe I should rethink things...

Warm is very important. I like warm! Warmth. I mean. Maybe not... you know, tropical warm but eh... warmer.

[dead_boy]

Are you from someplace cold, then? [That's the only thing he can come up with.]

[billygoatgruff]

Yes, Siberia actually. It is eh... a bit chilly?

[dead_boy]

Wow - yeah. I'll say.

Now I see why you'd want someplace warm. I can't blame you.
