EMPHASIS.

And considering the way your other conversations are going, whale, I don't need a calculator to add two and two.

[caligulas_aquarium]

wwhat
its called basic etiquette evven if i dont like these people i aint about to just flat out ignore em
i got some sense a class about me and an image to maintain a sense of highblooded decency about me
its not uncommon amongst the higher classes of alternians wwe reach out to the common folk on the odd occasion

[heartsink]

Not the fact you're talking to them, idiot. It's what you say, and what you don't.

[caligulas_aquarium]

seriously are you alwways actin like such a bitch or did i just catch you on a particularly bad day

[part genuine part deflection]

[heartsink]

Oh, no, not like this. I may not be out to make friends with any of you, but I'd be a great deal kinder to you if you didn't piss me off so much.

[caligulas_aquarium]

yeah wwell im in no hurry to keep this little bitchfest a yours goin so its not like youre obligated to keep talkin to me
so maybe YOURE the lonely one an youre doin that
wwhats it called
projection
yeah thats it maybe YOURE just projectin all your issues onto me

[heartsink]

[ wwoww who gave him permission to be insightful?? ]

Cute, but no prize. The correct answer was "boredom," so sorry.

Besides, I wouldn't be able to project onto you, anyway. You're much too pitiful a screen for any story but your own.

[caligulas_aquarium]

[baseless accusations, unfortunately

even if he's right he's still dumb]

yeah wwell pretty sure if i pissed you off as much as you acted i did thered be no fun had outta puttin up wwith me for mockin purposes so im callin BS on that

[heartsink]

I take my little joys where I can get them. You're not my first choice for entertainment, of course, but sometimes you have moments.

If you're trying to dissect me, you'll need a much sharper perception than this. It's pointless of you to try.

[caligulas_aquarium]

the only dissectin of any sort id be into regardin you wwould invvolvve repeated lacerations
an it certainly wwouldnt be for scientific purposes
im wworth more than just someones entertainment on a rainy day so wwhy not go find someone else wwhod more wwillingly suffer your company

[heartsink]

Hah! The day you draw blood from me is the day I have you strung up and suffocating on your own internal organs, with your eyes gouged out with the temple tips of your glasses.

Though I don't believe you for a moment, if you're really so unwilling to suffer my company, fine. You stay out of my hair, and I'll stay out of yours.

[caligulas_aquarium]

id like to evven see you TRY to accomplish that wwithout bein jammed into the wwall outside my livvin space as a wwarnin for other smartasses wwho think they can get awway wwith that sorta slander a my good name
but hey fine im all for avvoidin each other its practically the first smart thing youvve said all day

[He just had to get the last word in, that's all.]

[heartsink]

[ this is escalating quickly. ]

Do you want to fight me, pretty boy, or do you want to avoid me?

[caligulas_aquarium]

[well shit he was hoping he wouldn't get called out

at least while he tries to figure out how wings are a weapon aside from "dont work well with capes"]

yeah relax there im not exactly burstin wwith time to spare wwhat wwith all i got to do noww to get myself sorted around here again
so im gonna let you off the hook this time round if only for ivve got none to spare for such a minor thing like puttin you in your place

[heartsink]

Hah. Don't flatter yourself, Ampora. I was never on any hook of yours.
