I don't care if you think it'll be fun and interesting. Do I get a veto? Because I should. I want a fucking veto.

What ever happened to looking on the bright side, sunshine?

[dicey]

Who says there is one?

[dancewaterdance]

There's always a bright side!

[dicey]

That is total optimist bullshit. Sometimes there just isn't!

[dancewaterdance]

Yes there is! If nothing else, whatever it was is done and over with and out of the way afterwards, right?

[dicey]

Whatever what was? I don't even know what you're talking about now.

[dancewaterdance]

Whatever the bad thing is! Geeze, Grumpy Gus, just be as miserable as you can be.

[dicey]

But it's not going to be over and done with. This guy might be coming and it's going to be all weird and he's not who I want him to be!

[dancewaterdance]

Then make yourself forget who he was. Then it won't bother you anymore, and everything will be sunshine and daisies.

[dicey]

No. I don't want to forget him.

[dancewaterdance]

Then you gotta live with the pain. Suck it up, Champ. Wear it as your badge of honor or whatever.

[dicey]

I am living with it, dumbass. I've been living with it for months and months. That doesn't mean I have to be happy about his weirdo doppelganger showing up.

[dancewaterdance]

You do if you don't want people asking you "but what's wrooooong?" every damn day. Or you at least gotta say you are with a smile that's convincing enough that no one will ask questions.

[dicey]

Nah. I just tell them to shut up and mind their own damn business.

[dancewaterdance]

Doesn't it get annoying after a while? Unless no one cares enough to keep persisting, I guess then it doesn't matter.

[dicey]

Oh, yeah. It definitely does. But a lot of people who knew him and Hanna left, so...

[dancewaterdance]

Axel, then?

[dicey]

Oh, no. I mean, I really liked the guy, but we weren't that close.

[dancewaterdance]

Then who? Color me curious.

[dicey]

Pitch.

[dancewaterdance]

Oh, whatever. He was lame anyway. What, you worried he's gonna be worse somehow?

[dicey]

He wasn't lame. You guys just underestimated him because you were dumbasses. He could be really fucking terrifying, and even when he wasn't, he was smart and strong.

I'm not worried about him being worse. I want him to come back.

[dancewaterdance]

Oooo so terrifying, that's why he didn't do shit. Please, I was begging to be offed and he made spooky fingers then patted himself on the back for a job well done. Didn't even try.

[closetshark]

Because you weren't worth the effort involved.

[dicey]

He killed a bunch of people in the mall. And fucked up Hanna with nightmares for a while because he pissed him off.
