A Personal Bitch Me Request

[rayney_day]

So, a few replies I've had got me curious... Indulge me.

Assuming we don't have some kind of pre-existing animosity, I figure my reputation's pretty, y'know, out there. Maybe a few of you still don't know me and that's cool. Can't say I know most of you, either. But the other way around's probably got a better chance than most

It doesn't bother me. At least you're honest about it.

[rayney_day]

That's what I figure.

If I was in your place, I'd want the other side to be up front about things.

[doctor_j_crane]

You've hit the nail on the head. I'm not entirely convinced that you won't go on a murdering spree one day, but at least you're not lying to our faces about barge issues.

[rayney_day]

One of these days, I'll write about something happy. Alcohol and self-delusion will probably be involved.

Speaking of which... Convinced we're not all one big hallucination yet?

[doctor_j_crane]

It's the only combination that works.

[Pause.] No, I'm not. But acting as if none of this is happening is hardly a productive way to live.

[rayney_day]

Well, look at it this way... If this is your subconscious, graduation must be the only way to wake up.

[doctor_j_crane]

I don't think that's likely. And if it is, I don't look forward to waking up in a cell in Arkham.

[rayney_day]

Then what do you think is likely?

[doctor_j_crane]

I either stay here for good, or one day they change my medication and knock me out of it.

[rayney_day]

You like treading water...?

[doctor_j_crane]

What choice do I have?

[rayney_day]

Being human and admitting you've got faults.

[doctor_j_crane]

I'm well aware that I'm not perfect.

[rayney_day]

Yeah, but you've got that whole... Chemical warfare thing.

[doctor_j_crane]

It's an academic specialty.

[rayney_day]

Gassing people?

C'mon... How'd you like it if it was done to you?
