playing around and maybe looking idk

[supoorhero]

[oh wow, rude. this is what his PSP time is being interrupted for? anyone else would be mad right now, but this kid? he just keeps chugging along, sitting with his knees up and the aforementioned portable propped on them as he beep boops away.]

Mmnf. Tisth ipth sennmph tmmh ooth triveth thith.

[pauses. reluctantly, he puts the PSP down and plays with the drawstrings on his parka's hood, loosening them.]

I said, this is the second time you've tried this. Thought you didn't care anymore.

...What do I think? I dunno. No school and no homework sounds pretty fucking cool right now. But then there'd also be no internet, no TV, no KFC, and no Warcraft, and that isn't. Plus, no Stan and Kyle. So either way it'll be shitty all around.

[he picks up his PSP again and goes right back at it.]

Up for round two?

[yeah, neither is he.]

"Plus, no Stan and Kyle. But at least I'll have my super best friend Eric!" That's what you meant to say, right Kenny?

[supoorhero]

[oh goddamnit no. just gonna keep hammering buttons on his portable, totally ignoring you.]

[goddammitbutters]

[R00D. gosh kenny this is no way to treat your friend.]

Kennyyyyyy.

[supoorhero]

[TOUGH LUCK he has a bachelor's degree in not giving a fuck. he moves his PSP closer to his face, like he's trying to block out all the fat from his peripheral vision.]

[goddammitbutters]

KENNYYYYYYYY.

[attempting to tug the PSP away from kenny's face PAY ATTENTION TO HIM GODDAMMIT.]

[thegoldenstair]

You use many strange words.

[supoorhero]

What? You've never been to KFC before?

[thegoldenstair]

I don't know of it.

[supoorhero]

...Huh. Even I go to KFC sometimes. It's cheap, but their popcorn chicken's kickass. So's their gravy and potatoes.

[ceasetoexist]

You pretty much just summed up the experience of being there. It sucks. And it really depends on who you are if it's worth a round or two in this dump.

In general I'd say it'd be better just wherever you are, unless that just sucks that bad too.

[supoorhero]

We thinking of the same place? With all the happy robots and junk?

Like I said, dude - no TV. My mom and dad can't even afford a microwave, but we still have a TV. You're boned if you don't.

[ceasetoexist]

I know robots. Wouldn't say I know "happy" robots. More the "I'm going to slit your throat and perform experiments on you" type of robots.

Well okay. I take that back. Along with that she seems pretty happy.

They don't have good TV at the place I'm at but they still do have televisions and some people have gaming rigs up. And they don't mind you going over there. Which doesn't really matter since I would've butt in if they minded or not.

Dunno if we're thinking of the same place or not. But all the places out there suck. Or at least the places mine's sent me too. Except for the school. That one was actually kind of cool.

[supoorhero]

Oh, those ones. [he doesn't sound or look too fazed.] Those sound a lot better - and cooler - than the kind I've seen. Sort of like something you'd see in The Terminator. Do any of them look like Arnold?

See, that's even better. Okay, I can deal with that. But there's still no internet. I don't even know what people used to do back then without the internet. [throw rocks at dumpsters, maybe. that's what he remembers doing when he was really little.]

Were there any hot teachers?

[sturmbahnfuhrer]

It's a gamble to be sure. And in a gamble you must bet everything in order to get anything.

The poorest choice would be to not go or even try.

[supoorhero]

But that doesn't mean you'll end up with something. My dad knows; most of the time he ends up broke.

What do I get outta it?

[sturmbahnfuhrer]

Well that quite depends on what you want doesn't it? Is there anything you could get out of it at all if you went? And even then if there wasn't immediately whose to say you wouldn't find something worth while.

I'll admit a cynical outlook can be useful but it simply isn't one for me.

[supoorhero]

I dunno. I hear people back then had sweet cars. Ever see those red ones with the funny parts on the sides that make it look kind of like a rocket ship? If I went there, I'd want one of those.

[girls dig guys with cool cars, after all.]

Whatever floats your boat, dude.

[shutupfrenchie]

Well I don't know what type of place it is, but I think it would be nice to at least get out for a while. There's no harm in trying a game or two now and then, Kenneth.

[supoorhero]

Shut the fuck up, Pip. I have a ton of games and I don't even have to leave the house to play them.

[shutupfrenchie]

Oh. Well. Doesn't that get lonely sometimes too, just sitting in doors and playing video games? I would think it would be more rewarding to play with others.

[supoorhero]

I never said I didn't like playing with other people, you french weirdo. It's just that the ones I like best aren't here, so there's no point.

[logic_and_magic]

Truly it must be hell if you are placed somewhere with none of your entertainment.

[By the way, that's sarcasm. What comes next, not so much.]

I can see, however, not having your friends would be unpleasant.

[supoorhero]

You said it, man. [it's so flat that you can't really tell if he's serious or just playing along.]

Yeah, well, it's not like I can do anything about it 'cept for complaining and that gets old real fast.

[logic_and_magic]

...Seems sarcasm is lost upon you.

[He's just going to sigh.]

Indeed, better to get used to the situation and try and do something about it, than sitting around moaning and doing nothing about it.

[learnedsomething]

Dude. Are you ranking me and Stan below KFC and Warcraft?
