I guess I should have specified. Maybe not something you despise. Not a mortal enemy.
More like someone you argue with a lot or don't down right despise but always find yourself fighting with for whatever reason.
In part because there's just that little bit of baseline attraction you can't shake.

[bunchofscrewups]

[ ... Yeah, you know. Maybe. ]

Oh. I think I get it.

I'll admit, before I arrived here I never really felt attraction.

[rockypath]

NEVER?
Not even like ONE time?

[bunchofscrewups]

Not that I can remember. I had a lot of other stuff going on.

[rockypath]

Whatever it was, I'm sorry.
Because it had to be terrible.
Cause like, my life was pretty shit, but it sure didn't stop me from wanting to get down.

[bunchofscrewups]

It was terrible, but mostly better now. I'm glad you were less disconnected from yourself regardless of a shit life.

[rockypath]

I hardly claim to be some pinnacle of healthy coping mechanisms, but thanks.
Glad you're mostly better now? Not that this place gives you much choice.

[bunchofscrewups]

You're welcome. :)

Duplicity had nothing to do with it. It was my choice before I came here.

[rockypath]

So things were looking up for you before here? That's good.
I was on an upswing too before landing here. Would be nice to know how it all plays out instead of being stuck here.
It's not all bad, but... still.

[bunchofscrewups]

I get what you mean. I wasn't exactly in the middle of something, but I've kind of been left hanging.

[rockypath]

Also feeling kind of worthless here, which is another thing.
Like I had a purpose before.
Now? No fucking idea what I'm doing anything for.

[bunchofscrewups]

I know what you mean with that too. I feel pretty stuck.

[rockypath]

I've only been here a month.
And I'm already ready to tear my hair out.

[bunchofscrewups]

Yeah, exactly. When I arrived, the city was flooded and while the water receded they sent us off to this camp to teach us to behave. They called it Camp Harmony. It was not harmonious.

[rockypath]

I'm just surprised to hear the name wasn't some kind of awful innuendo like everything else here.

[bunchofscrewups]

They really like talking about harmony. Apparently, if we all just accepted our roles like good boys and girls, we'd feel harmony. So not as refreshing as it could be.

[ He's unimpressed. ]

[rockypath]

God.
If I ever just accept this place's rules and start doing the good little girl routine, I hope someone comes by and shoots me in the fucking head.

[bunchofscrewups]

I've heard tell you'd only come right back.

[rockypath]

Of course. Then I guess I gotta hope that never happens.

[bunchofscrewups]

I think it would probably be an unpleasant experience.
