[freedrinkplease]

So you're tryin' to tell me Pig don't got Runt where you're stickin' me?

No.

You're a fucking fool, girl. Me an' Runt, we pals since babes. Can't live without her. We need each other.

I don't need more friends. I got Runt. Don't fucking dare think I need more than Runt. We be side by side every day. Just wait for her.

[Dear god, it's like looking at a younger (much younger) version of himself with a horrible accent and a poorer grasp on the English language. ... Well, maybe not much poorer, but still.]

A lot of people are stuck there without friends from home, big deal. You'll get used to it.

[freedrinkplease]

[ One comment in and Pig's buttons are dangerously close to being pushed. ]

No big deal?

No big fucking deal?!

You don't know what the fuck [ read: 'fook' ] Pig and Runt are. Since wee babbins, we been together.

[Okay, this kid clearly just needs somebody to cheer him up! Come out of that shell, damn you!]

Hey, man, just because you're making new friends doesn't mean she can't be your best friend. Right?

[saidrepent]

[Okay, maybe make that "much poorer" after all.]

And? If you think there's anything you can do about it, you're in for one nasty wake-up call.

[freedrinkplease]

There be lots I can do about it. Hell or high watger, I'll find Runt. No wake-up call.

[ he squints, leaning over.

You lookin' like me. Older.

[saidrepent]

That's what we all thought at first. Believe me, you will get used to it.

[And then he pauses, just barely fighting back the urge to lean away in response.]

So I noticed.

omg sorry for my terrible phone replies.

[freedrinkplease]

Nothin' to get used to. Gonna get Runt, gonna fight for her.

[ Pig is still in Ray's personal space, too. ]

Why you looking like me?

lmao no prob

[saidrepent]

Have fun with that. You're going to lose.

[Ugh.]

Maybe I should ask you the same thing.

[freedrinkplease]

Not gonna. We got a link. We everythin' to each other. She'll come. Can't wait for long. You--older me. Talkin' American. It dangerous, where I'm going?

[saidrepent]

[He sighs.] The longer you delude yourself into thinking you have any control over this, the more miserable you're going to end up in the long run.

As for where you're going, it depends. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't, and it all depends on where you are and whatever the curse of the day is. [A beat.] And for the record, my name isn't "older you." It's Raymond Leon.

[freedrinkplease]

Raymond Leon.

[ Sounds french. Pig wrinkles his nose and leans closer. ]

Where I'm going, there ain't gonna be Runt, nobody there for me? I'm used to that, but Runt keeps me calm.

[saidrepent]

[At that, he really can't keep himself from taking a step back.]

There'll be people there, sure. Probably people just like you, who've got friends back home they never thought they could live without. However you deal with that is up to you.

[freedrinkplease]

You been havin' friends there?

[saidrepent]

[Another pause.]

A few, yes. [Though really, he's sure if he could consider them friends so much as people he's on somewhat friendly terms with.]

[freedrinkplease]

Then you be getting it easy.

No Runt.. No Pig.

[saidrepent]

[He just snorts.]

Not as easy as you'd think.

You'll get over it.

[freedrinkplease]

[Man! This guy doesn't get it. None of them do.]

But friends aren't Runt. I don't care about anyone but her.

[freedrinkplease]

[ Pig is going to stare, trying very hard to keep his head. From the way he's glaring, though, it's not going to last for long. ]

Won't be getting over nothing. Get off your high horse.

[saidrepent]

[Sigh.]

Fine. You want to set yourself up for some crushing disappointment? Be my guest.

But don't say I didn't warn you.

[voteforsteve]

[Hmm. This is gonna be a tough one to crack.]

You know, if you spent some time with other people, you might start to like them, too.

[freedrinkplease]

Tried that when Runt ran away. No work.

[ And...why exactly is this guy being nice to him, anyway? ]
