shitposting rave 5: discount rejects from every genre

I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TUMORS

 

-she strokes his face, possessive, pleased- Good mech.

 

"You do know that you're batshit insane, right?" Dhara shrugs. "There's nobody nowhere nohow that can't be beaten. And thinking otherwise is a very good way to get your ass handed to you when you least expect it and it's least convenient."

 

Defalt? What an unusual name. Where are you from?

 

Chicago. I mean, I have a normal name but Defalt is my stage name and what everyone calls me. I'm a musician.

 

[He snickers quietly, but leaves off poking the squishy.]

Regrettably fuel is precious and I'm not obligated to indulge your fetish over my own well being because you aren't a high ranking officer :)

[He sighs, leaning into the touch hard.]
No I'm not.

 

You're my mech.

 

[He makes a helpless little noise, burying his face in her shoulder harder.]
Yes. Doesn't make me good though. Just makes me not completely beyond hope, 'cause your taste isn't that terrible.

 

nah man indulging his fetish is my job

 

Are you implying my taste is at all terrible?

 

Good for you I don't care! [His voice is just a little hysteric. That's a lot more than he wanted to know about squishy fragging rituals!!!]

I'd never. I value my frame being in one piece.

 

[dave holds his hands up]

fuck uhhh
that was a joke but i guess it didnt exactly bring the house down
i thought we were at a point where joking about fetishes was appropriate but i was obviously wrong
im really sorry man i misread that completely ill step off

 

-she snorts, then pets and soothes him- Ignore the organic.

 

I-- I'm sure you can, you're, you're strong. [Too many emotions, wave at your own face, that'll totally hide the sparks.] I just-- react strongly to that sort of thing? There are, there are ways to remove that coding if you want to--

Unless you're a time-traveler not really, but thanks. [Weak laughter.] I have... bad experience with loyalty coding, that's all.

 

[dave summons a can labelled WORMS, and a can opener]

time travel: not as helpful as you might think

 

It's called sarcasm. I know he's not. I know he can't help. No one can help more than they already have.

 

i know what sarcasm is
just saying time travel wouldnt help that much
at least not you you
maybe a different you
but not this one right here right now
because youve got your experiences and thats made you into the specific instance of you that you are so if they change it helps a different instance of you
or hurts
but it sounds like youve seen some shit even if idk exactly what the deal is
and that sucks and empty words but if going back would do anything useful id be on that in a hot second

 

[Full ventilations, Wiretap. Keep moving air. Stop flipping out at people.]

...thanks. Sorry. I-- sorry.

 

psh nah man dont be you didnt do anything

 

Chicago? Where is that, somewhere in the new world?
