On going to exitvoid mebbe and their 'fight club' 8|

[sinusoidal]

Dance class. That's what he's calling it.

[ jfc ]

Somehow 'ballerina' just seems fitting. The behemoths in armor doing Swan Lake might be decent entertainment at least. [ and in a more serious, yet detached tone: ] I ended it for a reason. My time was up, and I made a decision.

Don't fuck that up.

How does it work?

A lot isn't a number. [ short smile ] In a sense. { if by people you mean fate ]

[thisisspartaaaaaaaan]

I say the word "classified" a lot.

It's classified. (see what he did there? it was a joke.)

That curving bullet nonsense?

[sinusoidal]

That's cheating.

[ A snort for 'nonsense'. And, very pointedly: ] It's classified.

[ sharing is caring chief!! ]

[thisisspartaaaaaaaan]

It's an advantage.

(so, it's a yes. if he had the capacity to be more judgmental about it, he would.)

I can respect that.

[sinusoidal]

Do you think of everything in terms of tactics?

[ lol das cute. you and your little inferior space guns that only shoot straight. precious. ]

Do you think you're a good soldier? Alright? Best? Sub-par?

[thisisspartaaaaaaaan]

Right now, maybe.

(it's okay, he has the skill to know when to take the shot instead of going around the problem.)

I do my job. (there's a subtle head tilt, asking the same question.)

[sinusoidal]

Why's that? Am I threatening you?

[ or you're sitting there waiting for the shot when you could have been shooting the whole time, durrr ]

Modest. [ Wesley wouldn't have stuck around him if he was just sufficient. And to answer: ] I'm the best at what I do.

[ just gonna be real about it kk. the fact wesley's alive and sloan is a victory for her anyway. ]

[thisisspartaaaaaaaan]

Is this threatening?

(it's actually a very genuine question, excuse you.

yeah that ... isn't what happens. it's okay.)

That's good to hear. We could use someone like you to help.

[sinusoidal]

No. This is small talk.

[ LOOK SOME PEOPLE HAVE ISSUES WITH THAT, SHE'S JUST WORRIED ABOUT YOUR COMFORT, MOUSEMOUSE.

just dont cry b/c ur not as cool as them okok ]

I'm not always good at 'help'. Is Wesley?

[thisisspartaaaaaaaan]

If that's what you call it.

(he's been in enough awkward conversations to see that it isn't.

sure "cool" that's what you call it.)

He works hard. (apparently it isn't cool to sing wesley's praises to her, but it means a lot coming from him.)

[sinusoidal]

What would you call it?

[ she's sort of forgot what talking like a normal person is, tbh. walkin up to you in a drug store and tellin u bout yo ded dad. tell u u apologize like a bitch. thats how she do.

that is exactly what she'll call it ]

He'd better. [ praising him to her isn't too bad - she'll take most of the compliments as ones to herself, considering she basically made him awesome ]

[thisisspartaaaaaaaan]

Prying.

(bluntly. it's good that she can't see his facial expression because it's judging you. in a stoic sort of way. if that makes sense.)

I keep him in line. (heh heh heh. that's for all the shit about how he's a delicate flower, asshole.)

[sinusoidal]

Then tell me to stop.

[ And maybe she'll actually do it, but for now this is an exercise in Do You Have Balls ]

Then he needs some work. [ aight nobody should be able to stop that kid from doing what he wants okok well, her aside ]

[thisisspartaaaaaaaan]

Stop.

[but she won't, he knows that.]

I'd like to see that.
