sooo what kind of powers do you guys have? were you born with them or get them in some freak incident or what?

[He pauses as he types out the text, considering if he should be honest about his intentions or not. It's not like he had any sinister plans or anything. It's just a matter of being private. But he doesn't want to sound too weird or shady. This sounds shady doesn't it??

He types and deletes a bunch of times, unhappy with most of the reasons he tries to give for asking the question. This one makes him sound too weak, this one makes him sound too ignorant, this one just makes him sound stupid. Eventually he settles for...well, nothing. He just gives up and hits send.]

i don't know, it can't be any worse than where i was before. i mean im not stupid i know it's probably not perfect or anything and its shady as hell but still

[heart_breaking]

what was wrong with the place you came from?

[imanapexpredator]

the people

[heart_breaking]

There probably no better here than they were their.

[imanapexpredator]

maybe not better but. i don't know, different. in a good way.

[heart_breaking]

For you, maybe.

[imanapexpredator]

well they haven't really bothered me yet. that's all that really matters to me.

[heart_breaking]

I got skewered. just give it a few more days.

[imanapexpredator]

skewered?? by one of the crew? why'd they do it?

[heart_breaking]

I got into a fight with his brother.

[imanapexpredator]

did his brother do something to you?

[heart_breaking]

[A slightly longer pause between texts.]

None of its really your bussiness.

[imanapexpredator]

sorry

i mean still think i like it better here. im not going to let anything like that happen to me.

[In response to the "give it time" comment. Being "skewered" is particularly disturbing to Andrew seeing as how that's how he ended up dead. And here. But no, that won't happen. Not again.]

[heart_breaking]

good for you. Maybe I'll scratch that off my calendar next time, too: "note to me, don't get killed again."

[imanapexpredator]

you made it sound like it was going to happen to me. im just saying its not.

[Because he's not weak but he doesn't say that. He's getting defensive enough as is.]

[heart_breaking]

your making it sound like I just stood there and let him kill me. i'm not a dumbass. so don't treat me like one.

[imanapexpredator]

you made me sound weak

i guess we're even

[heart_breaking]

are you saying I was a weakling to die like that?

[imanapexpredator]

weaker than whoever it was that killed you.

the stronger live and the weaker die. that's just how it is.

[heart_breaking]

now you're the complete dumbass

I killed him a few days later, and I can do it again any time I want

LOVE determines strength, not whatever shit you think you have

you probably don't even know what LOVE means

[imanapexpredator]

why are you getting so upset if you got him back then??

[NO NEED TO GET DEFENSIVE said the over defensive teen.

He's going to take a deep breath and ignore the name calling this time.]

love has nothing to do with it. how does that even make sense?

[heart_breaking]

oh my god you're so stupid

not 'love', 'LOVE'

its an acronim

[imanapexpredator]

[Well there goes the "this time" pass. Text can't properly convey how angry this conversation is making him right now.]

we dont come from the same place you idiot. it doesn't mean the same thing to me

now seriously. stop.

[heart_breaking]

stop what? telling you how brainless youd have to be for assuming death means anything in a place like this? your a moron, I hope you know that by now

[imanapexpredator]

it does. it means you were weaker. whether you come back or not doesn't change that. it's never going to change that.

but you're probably too weak to understand that, aren't you?
