it's probably better than blowing it up, yeah. although, i guess think of it this way, care for it because you want to, not for anyone else. if it makes you feel better and crap, then keep doing it.
what's the conflict? it's not because you're from different worlds??
no. actually, hes from the same realm as me. we've known each other since we were kids, he used to be my best friend.
but. stuff happened between us and he became my enemy. we fought for years, had different views on what we should do for our city, our people, and how to gain freedom and independence. whenever my old man and i would try to progress, he would swoop in with his gang and stop our shipments, dump our goods in the lakes or the ocean, or cause riots and trouble for silco's crew. just doing whatever he can to stop us from growing.
hes against shimmer while im not. and im still huffing it so. theres that too. theres a lot of history and issues between us that we cant really sweep under the rug. not all of it.
Yeah, it sounds like there's a mountain of issues for them to overcome, but... they will at least see each other when they return home. Maybe they won't have the same thing, but there's still a chance, right? Or at the very least, they will see each other again. It's better than nothing.
Scott exhales quietly to himself, but he starts responding to her message.]
yeah you can't sweep shit under the rug. believe me, it's impossible.
this is going to sound stupid. but. just start talking about crap. it's not like things are always easy between kotone and i. we have conflicts about stuff too.
your dad's here, right? i can't imagine him being happy about this development either way. look, you don't want another situation where something might happen between silco and your new not boyfriend. like with him and vi.
i don't gush-- look, i love her, but not everything is perfect all the time. we just don't try to air that out to everyone.
ah right! a peace treaty. its amazing what some scribbles on a paper can do, huh? say ure not going to do a big scary thing all because some words told u to. not knocking the idea, its just a real mind blower to me. one paper holds so much power.
hey, it makes life fun! but the type of fun depends on u.
well YEA. but the morons think just because he owns businesses that hes a threat somehow or hes up to no good. and look, im my old man's right-hand chick. i crash every business that he owns. and i can tell u FIRST hand, he isnt doing anything but sitting at his desk and scribbling numbers.
sorry to say, jinx, but it probably has to do with his appearance. he looks like a super shady dude. like. straight out of a james bond movie.
[Not to mention that he doesn't think Silco is like... completely innocent. She is Jinx's dad and that's a whole can of worms right there. Vi doesn't like him for a good reason, probably?? But Scott doesn't feel like getting into it right now.]
hey, not EVERYONE can have super smooth skin and look like they came straight out of the baby maker, all right? someone did a number on my old man's eye and all the toxins flew into it. and now half his face got all pruney. u expect ur face to appear nice after that?
his name is ekko. u might seem him around, hes always buzzing in SOMEBODY'S boundaries.

fun isn't the word i'd use for all this crap. it's only making me appreciate it when things are peaceful around here.
no subject
peaceful is ok sometimes. but i get bored if its TOO quiet around here.
no subject
heh i didn't know what else i was expecting. but seriously, talk to this guy sometime. i know i would've regretted it if i didn't with kotone.
no subject
