[mofi]

r u a vampire
r smthn?

my life started to suck
at 11
shit aint got that much better since.

[killtime]

Just human.

[ "Just." ]

Doesn't always get better. Sometimes you just have to find reasons to live anyway.

[mofi]

how r u hitting 7k
as just a human?
whats ur secret?

not wanting to die alone is a good reason to live
yeah?

[despicableglee]

Yet still you remain?
Perhaps you will become something of a glutton for punishment.

[killtime]

There's no secret. I was born. I'll die. I just haven't yet.

[ A little exhale, not quite a sigh. ]

Any reason is a good enough reason, kid. If you want to sign up for the baggage inherent to that one, then I won't be the one to stop you.

[mofi]

yep
thats me
a sadistic pos

[despicableglee]

There seem to be a lot of those sorts here.
You know they say misery loves company!

[mofi]

well lucky u

already signed myself up
front row seats and all.

[mofi]

sounds about right

[despicableglee]

So what's next?
Continued self-pity?
Picking up a destructive vice?
Petty crimes?
Revenge?

[mofi]

self-pity
drinking
maybe trash my room
light it on fire
who knows
idk

[despicableglee]

You have a wealth of options!
Does firestarting come naturally or are you meaning banging some flint together?

[killtime]

[ A little pause. Then maybe with a twinge of sympathy: ]

It's your show. You can always walk away.

[ As if it's ever that easy. ]

[mofi]

my go to method
of destroying shit
fire to some gasoline
or smthn.

[despicableglee]

The stuff they put in vehicles here? Huh, I had no idea it was flammable! Seems kind of weird to lead up a vehicle full of people with that stuff.

[mofi]

walk away
to what?

[killtime]

A lot of regret and grief, probably. At least at first. You have to decide you'd rather live with — this pain, or that pain.

[mofi]

yeah
other things need gasoline to run
n u can fill up gas tanks.

[mofi]

pain is kin'a part of me
idk who i am w/o it
and how do u even walk away from all that crap?

[despicableglee]

So people are riding around in over-sized powder kegs! How strangely brazen, considering how passive and fearful many are around these parts.

[killtime]

Just start walking. Get a cab, if you want. A plane.

You'd be surprised what time and distance can fix.

[melodramagic]

did your friends get ported out?
oh no
I'm so sorry
