014 - Not Sorry in the Slightest

[thinkb4ublink]

What did I want? Flagg offered me a deal an' I took it. Not because I believed he'd live up to 'is end, 'cause that's dumb. Someone can't promise ya something concrete, they ain't going to deliver. A 'wish'? [Snort.]

Yeah, I wish to be outta here. And mebbe that's what got people into it. I got into it because I didn't wanna get eaten. I get dragged 'ere against my will, I'm not goin' to stick my neck out for you lot benefittin' from it. And no matter how many 'bonding exercises' the Admiral's going to put us through, I ain't going to change that.

And no, I didn't live up to my end neither.

And who are you?

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

I'm nobody. What do you care, kid?

[Private]

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

Because I took Flagg's deal too, that's why.

[Private]

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

Ok, and what? My name is Slater, what does it matter?

[Private]

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

The big guy, Blonsky, didn't mention you. Did you know about him and the rest of us who took the deal?

[Private]

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

Didn't he? Oh, dear!

Why?

[Private]

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

Because I wanna know if you're worth knowing.

Duh.

[Private]

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

Let me make it easy for you.


No.

[Private]

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

How'd a guy like you not get killed?

[Private]

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

Like I said. Not sticking my neck out.

[Private]

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

Probably the best thing you could do. You don't look like you've got a lot of neck to stick.

[Private]

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

Says the kid who died young.

[Private]

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

I've met people here who died younger. Try harder.

[Private]

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

None of 'em are me though, are they?

[Private]

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

You're here too. That means you're just as dead as I am.

[Private]

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

At sixty! Know what I died of? A stroke! Ain't nobody killed me, kid.

[Private]

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

So you have to live out this whole afterlife thing old and decrepit while I'm young and fit. Man, you sure got the better of that deal, right?

[Private]

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

Yeah, because being on the Barge doesn't turn me into a kid every thirty seconds.

[Private]

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

No wonder you're such an asshole. I'd be an asshole too if I was stuck on this thing as an old man.

[Private]

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

So what's your excuse now?

[Private]

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

I watch too much TV.

[Private]

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

Ya haven't got one.

[Private]

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

Really? My room says differently.

[Private]

[thinkb4ublink.livejournal.com]

There's nuffin on it.

[Private]

[sixthanimorph.livejournal.com]

You think so, huh?
