.....Because

[endlessenvy]

Mun, it's not fair! Why wasn't I the first one to be put on Dear_Mun? I do it way better than anyone else. And why do all your other muses get lots of icons, and I only get 12? This is fragged, you're the worst mun ever.

This post is too short, make it longer! I deserve to have a nice long post.

I heard that someone gave Dirge a journal first.

That's not fair.

Dirge ALWAYS gets things first, always.

[And thus, Thrust is brought into Dear_mun, being his usual charming self.]

[dirge]

That's because I am the best at getting things. [Grin]

I've missed you, brother~ With only Swindle around, things get really... frustrating.

[endlessenvy]

[You suck.]

I'm in the same headspace as Swindle y'know.

Without you.

[Heehee HE HAS SOMETHING YOU DON'T.

Also he missed you too, but that doesn't need to be said.]

Why do you get to be in a game?

[dirge]

[Hiss] It's not the same as being in a game with the Boss! My interactions are much more valuable.

[Shrug] I forced my mun to make me an app.

[endlessenvy]

[You get better interactions with Swindle? That's not fair at all!]

Hmph, tell my mun to make me an app too Dirge.

I deserve to be put into a game too, so I deserve an app.

[Once he's there, he can go back to being envious of everything Dirge has, just like the good old days.]

[dirge]

Only if your mun promises to let you be mine when you get into the game. Otherwise, I'll just take your app for myself!

[endlessenvy]

She says no, because she doesn't want to put me into the same game as the one you're in right now.

[He pouts like crazy, because who cares about her muse problems! He deserves this, and it's not fair that she's keeping it from him. Thrust scowls with envy, so Dirge is good enough to be put in a game and not him?]

I want what you have.

[dirge]

[Growl] But I want you there! Swindle teases me all the time and I don't have anyone to take out my frustration on!

...Except when I'm crazy. [Thanks mun.]

[That makes him smile.] Of course you do. That's why you're my brother. I want to show you all of the things I have and make you even more jealous.

[endlessenvy]

She says that I can't go there because of Swindle.

[He sulks some more.]

It doesn't feel right when you're not around for me to want your things. You'd better tell me where you got all of them too.

[dirge]

Swindle is stopping you? I'll punch him until he lets you come!

I will. And the exact value of everything too. I might even let you touch some of it!

[endlessenvy]

You'd really punch the boss?

[That's honestly something he's never considered.]

Really? You'd let me touch them?

It's not fair that you have things to gloat over!

[Translation: He appreciates it.]

[dirge]

I've done it before. It's actually really satisfying. [He whispers that last part because you never know if Swindle is lurking somewhere.]

Maybe. If you're nice to me.

I missed hearing that from you so badly! [He really did- its great having stuff, but its even better to have someone to envy you for it.]

[endlessenvy]

[Thrust lowers his voice too, because he's not sure why. He's in absolute awe that Dirge would even think to hurt Swindle. Isn't their boss, like, untouchable?]

I'm never nice to you.

I deserve some of your things anyway. Everyone else's things are never as good as yours.

[dirge]

Then you don't get to touch my things. I want a wing massage.

[What the-? Did you just...? Did you really just IMPLY YOU COULD HAVE SOME OF THIS THINGS?!]

My things are the best! And if you try to take them I will tear out your optics and make them into rings! [His claws are splayed and ready.]

[endlessenvy]

Maybe I WANT to touch your wings!

[Thrust reacts instantly to the display of hostility, splaying his own claws and getting into a battle stance. You two are equally strong y'know.]

Yeah, not if I take out your optics first! Then I'll have to find someone else's things to want.

[dirge]

Then hurry up and touch them all ready!

[Dirge circles, mirroring his brother's battle stance, just as unafraid.]

You can not EVER take anything of mine! I'll kill you if you try! I'll rip your shard out and... uh...


...AND EAT IT!

[youhavebeenswindled]

Why do I put up with you two?

[Sigh, this'll never get any easier.]

Dirge, be nice to your brother.

[endlessenvy]

[GASP, it's the boss!]

He started it.

Like always... Why does he get to do things first?

[dirge]

[Oops, they made too much noise. Dirge backs off a little, grumbling and twitching his wings.]

I was being nice. I was going to let him touch my things.

[youhavebeenswindled]

[Which Swindle knows is a big deal for Dirge.]

Fine fine, but what are my rules for trying to kill each other? Because obviously you forgot them.

[endlessenvy]

Don't do it.

[Sulk sulk sulk, this is all Dirge's fault.]

[dirge]

I wasn't really going to do it. [Unless Thrust actually did try to take his stuff. Which hopefully he knows better than to try by now.]

I want him to be in the game with us.

[youhavebeenswindled]

Hmm, well the mun says that it might be difficult. It'd be nice to have him here, but you know, things don't always go your way.

[His work is done here, so he'll just float off towards some imaginary door. Have fun not killing each other you two.]

[endlessenvy]

Muuuun, why does Swindle get to leave first? That's just not fair.

[NOTHING GOES HIS WAY EVER.]

[dirge]

[Whine] I hate when things don't go my way.

Where's my wing massage, Thrust?!

[endlessenvy]

Maybe I don't want to give you a wing massage anymore.

You're too fat for it.

[dirge]

But you just said you w-

[OH NO HE DID NOT JUST CALL HIM THAT.]

FAT?! Fine! I'LL SHOW YOU FAT, THRUST! I am going to eat all of your energon rations now! FOREVER!

[endlessenvy]

AND THAT'S WHY YOU'RE SO FAT.

YOU'RE JUST GOING TO GET FATTER TOO.

[dirge]

I DON'T CARE! ITS MORE OF ME TO.... TO HAVE.

And then there will be less of you! Jealous?

[endlessenvy]

[YES HE'S TOTALLY JEALOUS.]

I'm not jealous of you getting fat. Bet your wings will give out before long.

Next time I get something shiny, I'm not going to give it to you.

[dirge]

[Oh no, he hadn't thought of that. Now he's imagining himself trying to fly and not being able to.]

B-but... [Wing droop]

You have to give it to me! I want you to! You're not supposed to hold out on me~

[endlessenvy]

[Oh... he hadn't meant to hurt Dirge's feelings!]

...

Okay fine, I'll give you half of the shiny thing.

Only half.

[...]

Also you're not that fat.

[dirge]

I want the whole shiny thing.

...I'll put it somewhere where you can see it.

[Sniffle] Really? [He prods at his middle with a little pout.]

[endlessenvy]

[Thrust nods, accepting this compromise that doesn't sound like a compromise at all to outsiders.]

I'm envious of your flying skills, they're really amazing you know.

I want to fly as well as you do.

[dirge]

I don't want to lose them. [He doesn't want to lose anything really. Even like... a candy wrapper.]

You can't have my skills.

....But maybe you could get some of your own. [It would be easier if they lived with others of their kind. Or even their template. Swindle can't teach them or even really understand flier needs.]

[endlessenvy]

[He likes the sound of that!]

Where can I get some though?

[He needs a teacher.]

[dirge]

We'll have to make Swindle invite Starscream over. And then never let him leave.
