on potentially considering considerable potentials ;

[bornbroken]

So. Here we are again. We seemed to be doing this dance less and less, these days. And now you think you can call me out again just because you think that you might be considering sending me somewhere?

Oh, no, sweetheart. That's not how this works. Give me something solid, or back off.

[spider_boy]

Yeah. I don't think they ever actually back off - no matter how much you actually ask them to.

[bornbroken]

Occasionally they get bored. Move on, find other people to mess with.

[spider_boy]

Well, yeah. But who wants to spend the rest of forever in limbo? Me, I'm glad to be remembered again.

As long as, you know, I get to do something.

[bornbroken]

And what are the odds of that happening?

[spider_boy]

Slimmer than a Slim Jim?

[bornbroken]

That's what I thought.

[spider_boy]

Cripes. That's a cruddy thought.

[bornbroken]

Just being practical.

[spider_boy]

I was born in a lab. Out of a giant test-tube thing.

Practicality pretty much flew out of the window, then.

[bornbroken]

In that case, you seem pretty well-adjusted. All things considered.

[spider_boy]

I've had good influences, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. We just met. I might still surprise you.

[bornbroken]

Fair enough. Just do me a favor, if you're about to have a meltdown on me? Give me at least a few seconds' warning.

[spider_boy]

Nah! I'm not the meltdown type. Too happy-go-lucky for that.

A patty melt sandwich on the other hand...

[bornbroken]

Well, that is the better alternative.

[spider_boy]

Right?! With a heaping helping of curly fries. And the biggest Soder-Cola superhumanly possible.
