Hell sucked. Thanks for that one, by the way, I can tell we're gonna be great pals already. And quit psychoanalyzing my taste in porn, you total nutjob. 

Is it too late for me to get out of here, or am I stuck with your ass?

Beats me. Gotta guess they're just wired differently.

Well, you know what they say. Men are from Mars, women are from Venus. There's gotta be more to it, though. I've met more girls who were just completely off than I can count.

Depends what you mean. The whole "What do you mean you don't know why I'm upset", or "I need emotional validation about goddamn everything" type of crazy, absolutely.

But I can't say they've got any higher of a "I'm gonna slice your eyes out and feed them to you on a platter" crazy. At least that I've noticed.

[crownless]

I DO get those more, though.

...maybe I'm hanging around the wrong kinds of women.

[YOU THINK.]

i think i have a new broship. dammit.

You could try not picking up chicks at the psych ward. Yeah, yeah, daddy issues, I know it's easy but the bitches are out for blood.

no omg me too

[crownless]

It's not like I'm intentionally going for the crazy ones! It might just... be my town.

Some are literally out for blood, too. So.

the uss 'i don't get women'

Considered moving? There's hundreds of tiny little towns all across America, crazy-free.

I'd know. Crazy's kinda my business.

sailing the sea of "problems what problems"

Thought about it. Thought about it a lot, actually. I've got some stuff I need to take care of first.

What a coincidence: so's mine.

running from the emotional literacy police

Hey, more power to you, just a suggestion.

Really? What kinda crazy?

what a merry chase they lead

[crownless]

...hitmen. Keep that much between us, though.

[like_the_rifle]

Huh. [Though he's not really familiar with that subculture, there's only so many seedy bars in existence. To date though, he's always avoided hitmen and gang members unless they had fat wallets ripe for pool hustling.]

Freelance, or you got somebody you answer to?

[crownless]

[it's oddly comforting that his reaction isn't one of greater shock.]

The latter. Used to be, anyway. She and I didn't exactly see eye to eye.

I guess that means I'm semi-retired.

[It's a lot harder to pass moral judgement on people after you spent ten years torturing other souls in Hell. If the guy starts shooting up bystanders, Dean'll stop him, but for right now he seems pretty all right.]

Man, sounds like your life is full of women with problems.

Whatcha gonna do now, then, take up model shipbuilding?

[crownless]

Oh, you don't know the half of it. [We don't talk about his first girlfriend.]

[At that, Travis laughs.] Maybe Gundams or something; those are way cooler than a clipper ship in a jug. But, uh... I dunno. Until I can track my 'previous employer' down and settle what needs to be settled, I'm stuck in limbo.

[like_the_rifle]

Sounds familiar. Some people in the world oughta have beepers on 'em, I swear.
