[58] you'll never settle any of your scores

[A joke. It had all been a goddamned joke.

He's left with a handful of clues that may or may not be worth anything, another death under his belt, trauma, and a ruined chain gun for a joke?! His regain adds insult to injury; having his own glasses and makeup is nice, but what he had to go through to get it? It's too much

C; also a+ choice of subject line

[Well hey there Dist, it's just your friendly neighborhood bartender here.]

Looks like I'm not the only one with that particular method of coping with Mayfield's jokes.

[Apply liberal amounts of alcohol until you forgot there was a problem. Good work.]

C; it was pretty much on repeat for this whole post

[buildstherobots]

Murder and alcohol? What else have they left us? After all of that nonsense and they just destroyed him and--

[Can you chug an appletini? Because he does.]

i approve of this. :3b

[riastrad_ridire]

[You can if you're Dist, apparently.]

As far as I can tell, nonsense and destruction are what this place runs on.

I put him down like a sick dog. That's what he was; he'd have been disgusted if he could see himself.

[He shoves his glass at the man, not satisfied in the least with his current blood alcohol level.]

[riastrad_ridire]

[The 'sick dog' comment earns Dist a raised eyebrow, but little else.]

Friend of yours, I'm guessing. [Whether that was meant sarcastically or not was debatable, as Lancer poured another drink regardless.] Won't they just come back tomorrow morning?

[buildstherobots]

[Dist gives a little scoff, sneering in disgust, though at what particularly is hard to tell.]

That's just the problem! It's nothing! Nothing I've done, here or at home... I'll kill them. I'll kill all of them. I don't care what it takes!

[riastrad_ridire]

You're taking this whole thing even worse than I am.

[buildstherobots]

This was too much! On top of everything else... it's not even about keeping us here any more! They probably took him just to spite me!

[riastrad_ridire]

...Okay, I'll bite. Who're you talking about?

[buildstherobots]

Jade! He's... he was... someone from my world. Someone I knew, okay?!

[riastrad_ridire]

Fine. I just figured I'd ask, if you're going to be screaming at me about him.

[buildstherobots]

...He's been here twice, and they've taken him twice. He wouldn't have wanted me to leave him this way! And I can't... I can't get them...!

[DRINK]

[riastrad_ridire]

I don't think screaming about it is going to help, do you?

[buildstherobots]

Well what do you want me to do?!

[riastrad_ridire]

Try focusing all that energy on figuring out what to do next. How to fight who and whatever's keeping us here.

[buildstherobots]

You think I haven't been doing that for over a year?! I'm brilliant! I should have made my way out on day two but I haven't been able to! There's nothing!
