Eleventh Car - Daggers [Action]

[teenagebadboy]

[Aaron had taken the last few weeks to reflect over the bloater business. His bravado may have hold up at the time but by now it was crumbling. He couldn't push the sigh of that monster out of his mind. He could deal with the human kind of monster but that thing was something else, taken from a zombie game or a horror film.

But as usually he tried to deal with it on his own. Which only meant that instead of talking about it, he let it build up inside and tear him apart. A very inefficient plan.

In all of this however he remembered Tucker and how harsh he had been to him. He was still upset over putting his his own life at risk just to have that bastard run away. Sure he saved someone else and that was something he had to consider. Things were coming to its edge today as he walked around the corridors. On his way he spotted Tucker and perhaps the man also spotted him. Aaron was still upset at him for what he did. It wasn't fair but Aaron wasn't always rational. But Tucker had become a mate and he was slowly working his head around to make things up. There was nobody here for him, nobody to get through to him. Despise it all Tucker had shown kindness to him. He was a mate and Aaron felt that maybe, just maybe, he could bring himself to apologize for his earlier behaviour.]


Room filter, directed to Tucker.
Hey Tucker, I got something to tell you.

Dude, if this is gonna be another, 'you're a douchebag' conversations ... I'd rather just skip.

Filtered to Tucker

[teenagebadboy]

Oi, I'm here to make a decent conversation lad. [Aaron replies with a scowl on his face.] Look, I'm sorry for having a go at you before. I've never dealt with something like that before and I couldn't understand why you went back into it for another turn. Sure I realize now that you just wanted to help your mate too. So yeah, I'm sorry about it. I don't want to lose you as my mate.

[babyaliendaddy]

...Okay, let me get this straight.

You're apologizing to me. Like really apologizing. For calling me a lot of really not cool things. And for not understanding. And you want to still be my friend.

Huh.

... This is so weird. I am so used to being called a dickface as an apology. I'm cool with this way too, dude, just ... let me appreciate it.

Filtered to Tucker until end

[teenagebadboy]

I'm really not good at this, am I? Look, the thing that went down before wasn't easy for me either. But I understand that mates got to look out for one another. So yeah I apologized, I was wrong.

So... what do you say about that?

Re: Filtered to Tucker until end

[babyaliendaddy]

No, no, dude. Church sucks at this. Your apology is like, a fucking million times better.

I say we're cool. And ... I say we need to our talk on. What's up?

[teenagebadboy]

OK, cheers. Never been all that good with touchy stuff.

Cool... [Snorts] Reminds me off Paddy but he tried too hard.

It's alright with me. [That's not entirely true.] I know what this place is really like now. Paradise, my arse.

[babyaliendaddy]

Me either, but shit dude, you're a million fucking times better than Church.

Who is Paddy, homes?

Fucking seriously, dude. Paradise both of our asses.

[teenagebadboy]

He's my dad. Well, not biologically my dad but he's 100 times better than my actually waste of space father. Paddy looked out for me and supported me when I went through hell three times over.

Uh huh, can't be more true than that.

[babyaliendaddy]

Huh, that's cool. I never knew my dad, so it's pretty frigging sweet you had someone looking out for you.

[teenagebadboy]

Yeah, he's a great guy. He could get very overprotective and nosey at times though. But he cares.

Why didn't you get to know your dad?

[babyaliendaddy]

Well, better than a douchebag who doesn't respond at all.

He was just never there. I never met the dude.

[teenagebadboy]

Like my real dad.

That's harsh to hear mate. I know how you're feeling, trust me. But y'know what if they are not there for you then they don't matter to you. They're the ones who are losing out.

[babyaliendaddy]

Sounds like he is your real dad, period.

Eh, whatever. What the fuck do I need with a loser who can't even handle a baby as awesome as I must have been? Better off, dude.

[teenagebadboy]

What? [Frowns.]

Exactly. I have moved on from the people who let me down. They're not worth my time and neither should they be yours. Sure even a bad relationship can be repaired but if they want you back they gotta work hard.

[babyaliendaddy]

Paddy is your real dad. That other guy is just a fucking biological donor.

Truth, brother. Preach it, dude!

[teenagebadboy]

Oh. [Amused smile.] I can run with that. I don't care about him and he doesn't care about me. Paddy's the dad I never had.

Nah, I prefer not to preach about stuff. That's more your thing Florence Monk. [Smirks.]

[babyaliendaddy]

See? Exactly what I'm sayin'. Real dads for win, biological donors for Freelancers.

[Yeah, cue the eyeroll.] Seriously, is no one gonna let me live that shit down?

[teenagebadboy]

... Freelancers?

Let me thing about that... no, not really. [Cheeky grin.]

[babyaliendaddy]

Don't ask. You are so better not knowing.

Ha ha ha. Fucking Hilarious. [But he's grinning.]

[teenagebadboy]

[Aaron frowns at that. But if it's none of his business to know then he won't bother.]

I got turned into some stereotypical guy during Christmas. Watched footie and helped the women in the house.

[babyaliendaddy]

Dude! I turned into a fucking lawyer. What kind of bullshit is that, right?

[teenagebadboy]

When did that happen?

[babyaliendaddy]

Back over Christmas break.

[teenagebadboy]

Oh, all right. About the same time I stayed at some woman's place then?

[babyaliendaddy]

Sounds like ... man does anyone have a normal holiday around here? I mean, frigging seriously.
