I'll admit to being a little bit confused when we talk.

Mostly because I don't quite get what you want.

You don't get what I want.

What? Is "conversing for conversation's sake" too difficult to understand?

Well, a little bit. Most assholes I know talk because we want something. Even I do it to the people I grew up with.

I don't want anything. I'm just talkative.

Well. Maybe reassurance. That you people aren't all cold, corrupt jerks. Or anything.

"You people"? Jesus Christ that sounds awful.

But I won't deny being a little bit cold. Not corrupt, but I've been called heartless a time or two.

That was intentional. If you didn't catch that.

I can imagine. Politics does seem like a field where you have to sacrifice all the joy in your life for a taste of sweet, sweet power. Leaving you an empty shell of being.

It's not as sweet as you make it sound. Actually, it's really fucking annoying most of the time, but someone like me does it because we like to solve problems.

The empty shell thing has a little different of a reason.

Power is annoying to a politician? My mind is blown, like. Something being blown.

What is it?

It's kind of a result of my accident.

No, that's a lie, that's making excuses.

Shit, I don't know, because problems are easier to solve than people.

I think people are easy, personally.

Uh. Easy to understand, I mean. I mean, people aren't evil. We all have our motivations.

Sure, everyone wants something.

The difference is, if a bridge breaks, or there's high unemployment and a defecit, those are things I can fix. Not easy solutions, but they're fixable. People are less stable. They're going to change a fuck-ton, and you can't predict or fix it.

Hell, most people don't want you to fix things.

So, what? Do you just throw up your hands when dealing with people?

Do you just give up?

Not really. I just suffer through it for the most part.

People don't exactly like me.

There has to be a reason.

When I helped you, it felt really good. But now I'm not sure what I want.

Hopefully not answers.

you remind me of home

What, is it my ruggedly handsome good looks?

Or is it because we're both from places quite a lot different than this one?

people from the outback are certainly rugged, but handsome, hahahahahahahahaha

so the latter, yes

Mm. You know? It does seem sort of strange to me that the majority of people here haven't ever killed anyone before. I mean, it's great, I think. Death is horrible. But it's different.

where i was from, death was more like a punchline

and i don't mean that in a morbid, dark, i'm so tough sort of way

i mean my life was like benny hill but with guns

Sounds like a hell of a world. Was it fun?

most of the time, yes

i'll have to tell how i got married one day

it involved a magical beatnik hipster book that instilled instant inner peace in everyone who heard it and a lot of dead mafia dudes and cops and booga's long lost little brother

Well, I'm officially jealous. That sounds awesome. Albeit a little weird.

My world sucks, but I live. Somehow.
