002 - Sucks to Be You

[Deadpool sits alone at the bar, surrounded by empty pitchers. Not sure why he's drinking so much, though. Not like he'll get drunk.]

I'm depressed, you ninny. When you're depressed you drink. It's not just about the alcohol, it's also about the atmosphere. It's how you express your hopeless loneliness.

[Kinda one-dimensional, don't you think?]

If it were any other character, yeah. but when I do it, it's dark and mysterious.

[Why are you depressed anyway?]

As if you don't know, Captain Exposition? Whatever. First we had the week of darkness, which started right when I began to watch "Return of the King" and I got back just as it ended. That was totally lame.

[Why didn't you just rewind it?]

And while I was in the darkness here, I spent most of the time acting like an unarmed wussy and embarrassing myself in front of the one person around here I don't want to embarrass myself around.

[That crush of yours is pretty hilariously pathetic, by the way]

And then I watched Diva die, made me feel like I was watching my own future. Being stabbed in the back by a guy named Nathan and dying unfulfilled.

[Actually, both of those things have already happened to you]

*sigh* I'm really starting to hate this place.

[Then why'd you come back?]

...Y'know, you are probably the chattiest writer I've ever had. It's really annoying, and coming from me, that's saying something.

[Look, you're depressed. Boo hoo, I feel so sorry for you. But people don't like you because of your brooding. They like you because you're hilarious and kick ass. You're slowly going from the bad-ass merc with a mouth to one of my mom's soap operas. It's annoying. Look I'm sorry things aren't panning out for that girl you like, but it doesn't really matter since you already have like 3 unrequited love interests in canon. Adding on more here would be a bit of a waste. And as far as Diva goes, it's not like you've never seen a friend die before. And you barely knew her. Plus she'll probably come back or something.]

You see that? Waaay too much chatter. You wrote like a whole paragraph. Anyway, just shut up, I think people are starting to look at me weird and I don't think I have the patience to deal with stupid questions about who I'm talking to or whatever.

[OK, fine. Be all moody. But hey, at least you have your costume and weapons back]

That is pretty awesome.

Shoulder over and give me a bit of whatever's got you in this state. I need it.

[Making this face at you, Deadpool.] Sorry, laddie buck, but I'm not in the mood to deliver a Player's speech just yet.

[ Angela is peering in one of the pitchers, one eye squinted. ] Hmmm, I think you've downed enough rot gut to kill a godbeast, Deadpool.

[Twitch of a smile.] Go roll in fish guts you sarden gods-curst spintry, and take your midden hen mother along with.

Laddie buck.

[Takes one of the pitchers that hasn't been emptied it and drinks it like a tankard.]

All right, I guess. Glad we can go home now. [ She hops up to sit on the bar, swinging her feet idly. ] How did things go while it was dark for you? Ever get any clothes?

[Slaps him on the back and half-drains the pitcher, wiping her mouth on the back of one hand.] At least I didn't miss Bekka's birthday.

[Hops up onto a stool beside him.] Ah...so you were with Diva as well, were you?

Good distracted or bad distracted?

[Hey, that kid you pwned is nearby, but he's in sort of a daze. Like a zombie. He still has his crutch, but he's considering impaling someone named Nathan with it.]

I know something was happening with Misaki... I ran into her a while back.

[ There's that name again. ] Hei?

[identity profile] shinypaws.livejournal.com 2008-08-24 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
Indeed, it was... [Lays her head on the bar.]

I...must admit that, though it is twisted and unnatural, I am glad that Diva will get a second chance.

Li has a twin?

[identity profile] crowheaded.livejournal.com 2008-08-24 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh, he's not drinking. Just sitting on a stool waiting for inspiration. He glances over at Deadpool, not even recognizing him for a moment.]

... No, this was from something else. [pointedly avoiding the first question since it's SO DAMN OBVIOUS]

A friend, seventeen. [Little smile.]
