Muse wishes his Mun hadn't become more interested

[brokenbow]

It took all of that for you to even pay attention to me. Months of claiming you weren't good enough and now I'm on your level.

[he may be kind of pissed off somewhere under that contempt]

In case you're deluded, that's not a compliment. I don't exist to be your toy or anyone else's. Go find another one to play with. I don't have time for you.

{OOC: A certain mun may have watched the rest of season 1 leaked and Roy isn't happy about getting all this new attention. Spoilers definitely possible in comments.}

You could, I don't know, try being thankful someone wants to play you.

[brokenbow]

[And it had to be her. He had apologized, but it didn't really feel like it was enough. Still, he doesn't know how else to be so, have a grunt and a glare from behind his domino mask.]

I'll be grateful when I actually care about being played. I've had enough of that.

[totallyhisniece]

[Of course it's Artemis, since when do are things allowed to be easy for Roy? She's trying to be nice here though.]

Well, your options are whine forever or deal. And amazingly, you have friends who want to help you with the second part.

[brokenbow]

I am dealing. [grits his teeth a bit] I know what I should be doing and it doesn't involve playing in whatever screwed up dollhouse she decides to throw me into.

[totallyhisniece]

Oh yeah? And what are your big plans now, Spe-

[Oh. Oh that's not a jab at him she's gonna be able to take anymore, isn't it? No more calling him Speedy just to get a rise out of him. Instantly there is guilt and frowning.]

Look. Just suck it up, in the end it's not gonna be your choice so you might as well just stop resisting so much.

[eyeofthetigress]

Muns are pieces of shit.

Get used to it, kid.

[brokenbow]

[The fact she almost said it and he can still hear her saying it just like she has before almost makes him flinch. Almost. But he doesn't really have the right to, now does he?]

I don't know if you're trying to help or make things worse. Think you can tell which one I'm guessing.

[brokenbow]

Some more than most. Mine's a real piece of work.

[eyeofthetigress]

I'd rather be left the fuck alone. But apparently that isn't possible.

[brokenbow]

Anyone would rather be left alone that stuck without someone like her. She only wants you when "rock bottom" is being nice.

[totallyhisniece]

[Damn it, this isn't what she was going for for sure. There'd been that short little moment when they'd approached that line of being friendly, so why can't they just stick with that? No, she had to go and open her big fat mouth and get the insult in before him.

Guilt. So much of it. She takes a tentative step forward and puts a very out of place hand on his shoulder.]

I'm- sorry.

[eyeofthetigress]

I suggest just putting on your big boy panties and dealing with it.

It's the only course of action when killing the mun isn't possible.

[brokenbow]

[Her hand was unexpected, but he's more surprised by this show of... camaraderie? They aren't friends, but he can say he doesn't hate her anymore--if he ever really did.]

Like you're the one who has something to be sorry for.

[totallyhisniece]

[Yeah he's not the only one that's not entirely sure what the hell she's doing with that hand but hey, comfort is clearly needed here. She might suck at this kind of thing, and she might still be working on liking him, but he deserves some sort of support after everything.]

Hey, any time you want to start apologizing, I'm all ears.

[brokenbow]

[Now doesn't that sound like something someone else told him just a few minutes ago. He is dealing with it, damn it. But instead he says]

I don't kill.

[eyeofthetigress]

Figures.

Thought you looked like one of Green Arrow's bitches.

[donna_troy]

...Whoa!

That's pretty harsh.

[brokenbow]

Should have been paying attention the last time.

[So being a jerk to her while not being a jerk does make him feel better. Who knew?]

Don't you have some celebrating you should be doing? With your team. [Meaning not near him. He's trying to brood, self-loathe, and project his self-contempt onto his mun.]

[backwordscompatible]

What can we say?

They're drawn to all that drama and angst. The more our lives suck, the more they want to play us.

[brokenbow]

[Oh she had to say that.] Watch it. You don't want go there.

[totallyhisniece]

[They definitely have the most healthy and normal relationship ever. She's just going to ignore that first little statement, thanks.]

Last time I checked they still counted you as part of the team.

[brokenbow]

What?

[eyeofthetigress]

[Of course she said it.]

Threatening me, kiddo?

I'd like to see you try something.

[donna_troy]

I mean I'm sure they have the best intentions! Nice looking guy like you, just sounds like maybe they were scared you were too cool for them.

[brokenbow]

I don't want any part of it, but we're not being given a choice, are we?
