This place is complete bullshit. Every time I try using this crap 'technology' it up and breaks like the useless junk it is. And if one more bloke tries copping a feel of my arse, I'm locking the whole bloody city up. You hear me, brat? You're whole bloody city, nicked. Don't think I won't.

And Tyler. You and I need to talk.

What's going on, Guv?

[theguv.livejournal.com]

When you say back to normal, are you talking about 'Hyde' or actually going home?

[didorothy]

[hesitates; then, his eyes search through Gene's face, trying to read in his expression what's going on] Status quo, Guv, has been your Manchester for a while now.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

That doesn't answer my question, Tyler.

[didorothy]

Right, then: I think we'll go back to Manchester after. Does that answer your question?

[theguv.livejournal.com]

[doesn't answer for a long time, finishing his cig, then shrugs, crushing the remainder of the fag beneath his heel] So which is home?

[didorothy]

...Isn't this a bit... girly, for you? Talking about home. Not your style.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

[glares] Don't dodge the question, Tyler. You've got your bloody technology and future and 'Hyde' here and now, with this bullshit reality. So which is your choice: Manchester or ... this?

[didorothy]

Minato's reality, for all it's technology, isn't where I'm from. It's three years, half the world, and a whole universe apart.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

And you're still dodging the bloody question.

[didorothy]

You're not asking the bloody question! You're running around it!

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Yeah? You know it so well, then what the hell am I asking, you prick?

[didorothy]

I'm not going to ask your questions for you, Guv.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Do you intend on staying in Manchester?

[didorothy]

Yes. [not entirely honest, but not entirely lying]

[theguv.livejournal.com]

And for how long?

[didorothy]

Until I die. I have a city to serve.

[gives Sam a very penetrating gaze, knowing something's off by the answer, then snorts and pulls out a flask] 'course you are, Tyler. Knew that bastard was wrong.

[didorothy]

[takes the bait hook, line, and sinker] Who?

[theguv.livejournal.com]

[sneers] The bloke who had me kill you.

[didorothy]

[right, well, Sam just spat out the bait] Oh. Right. [shoves his hands into his pockets]

[theguv.livejournal.com]

Figured you wouldn't wanna hear it. Can't blame you, really. Takes a bigger man to face his fears, don't it, Tyler?

[didorothy]

[shoots him a glare] I don't see how you'd know that, Guv.

[theguv.livejournal.com]

[glares right back] Don't you dare try changing the subject on me, Tyler. I'm a bigger man than you'll ever be.

[didorothy]

[this laugh isn't a nice one] You're just as much of a coward as I am, Hunt. You just show it differently.
