Does anyone else have this bullshit impression of me as this pure-hearted, innocent guy who'd never hurt anyone?

Speak now so I can straighten you the hell out. I figured no one was that stupid, but if I'm wrong about someone I've known sixteen years, I gotta rethink my shit. Badly.

Maybe some people are just that blind. Shouldn't come as a

Shit. I could go for a round.

[prodigal_axe]

Why the fuck not? I think I'll go a few rounds before I'm done tonight, so lets do it.

[poppincapsules]

Right. Where's this bar, anyway?

[prodigal_axe]

It's up on Bonito drive. You got an idea where that is? Kinda by the shops..

[notinthegame]

I think you're the sweetest kid ever, Shinji.

Now let's fuckin' drink!

[prodigal_axe]

Should I start callin' you mom?

You can say that again. You got a problem getting up on the roof? Got some shit up here.

[notinthegame]

I'd rather you just call me Pop.

Rooftop drinkin'? I can handle that. I'll be up in a bit, don't fuckin' drink it all before I get there you lush!

[prodigal_axe]

What kinda pop says shit like that?

Damn. You're breakin' my heart over here. I was gonna polish off all four bottles by my damn self, in five minutes.

[keepyou_safe]

I don't know about any of that, but you certainly could be worse.

[prodigal_axe]

Eh. Can't disagree with you.. least I give a shit about what I've done.

But that sure doesn't make me some perfect guy. Don't know how anyone can get an image of me like that.

[keepyou_safe]

That goes a long way, at least in my book.

Maybe it has something to do with all the work you've done lately. Try to be more of a hundan if you don't want people to think you're a nice guy.

[prodigal_axe]

Some people think that oughta erase it, like it didn't happen. Just over a little remorse.. not sure I agree with that.

I don't care if they.. just as long as they don't get blinded.

[skybound_love]

Maybe not pure as the driven snow, but you're a caring man.

[prodigal_axe]

Didn't expect you to..

Hm. At least that's realistic. I should be surprised, considering.

[skybound_love]

What brought this whole statement on?

But really, what's it matter? What is "pure"? You've owned up to any mistakes you've made and you want to help people.

[prodigal_axe]

Eh. Aki disowned me, when he found out about...

That's not enough for some people.

[superficialness]

... Um.

You're.. nice?

I think..?

Well, you have to have some redeeming qualities if Minato likes you so much!

Re: [VOICE REPLY; JAPANESE]

[prodigal_axe]

Er. You sound real unsure of yourself there.

It's fine. I haven't been that nice to you.. uh. Guess I couldn't help the apathy shit, sorry.

But you're a good guy. Thanks for uh.. Minato. He needs more friends like you.

[VOICE REPLY; JAPANESE]

[superficialness]

Hahaha, s-sorry! I really don't know you too well, so I can't really pass judgment like that!

... A-ahah.. well, you don't need to worry about that! I'm kind of used to people being mean to me! .. Not that you were mean, but.. yeah. It's okay. Don't worry about it!

... t-thanks. Eh?? W-well, you don't need to thank me for that!! I like him! It's not like it's work for me or anything to be his friend~!

Re: [VOICE REPLY; JAPANESE]

[prodigal_axe]

Passing judgment.. that ain't a good thing to do, whether you know someone or not. That's why this friend of mine got so blinded about me.

Er.. I'm kinda a dangerous bastard without my emotions. I think I'll keep 'em. If you're sure..

It's not that.. you shoulda seen the guy at home. Crowds of friends. That kind of thing is like breathing to him. Here, he's alone way too much.
