[ david he is setting traps plz do not interrupt him ]

sure. alive? not many. none of you.

[hardlydead]

[ but it's a long walk back from lery's and he's bored!! ]

Obviously none of us. I'm not stupid.

[bloodandbrass]

then why bother asking?

[hardlydead]

Curious if there was literally anyone at all you don't think you're better than.

[bloodandbrass]

nobody living.

some people are close.

[hardlydead]

Anyone here?

[bloodandbrass]

a few.

[hardlydead]

What makes you wanna respect someone then?
Other than not being, what was it? Meat for the grinding?

[bloodandbrass]

you trying to figure out how to get in my good graces?

[hardlydead]

Nah.
Just something I was wondering about.

[bloodandbrass]

sure.

gotta be as strong as i am. doesn't back down. isn't afraid.

[ he pauses, considering. ]

and not here just to be meat for that thing.

[ because otherwise david might qualify. ]

[hardlydead]

So basically any killers like you.

[bloodandbrass]

some. not always.

[hardlydead]

No? Like who?

[bloodandbrass]

why do you want to know so bad? this ain't just wondering.

[hardlydead]

[ he actually has to pause mid-step just to scoff ]

I know you're not used to it, but this just how normal conversations go.

[bloodandbrass]

[ ????? but no swearing and accusations??? ]

i know how to talk to people. i just don't like it.

[hardlydead]

I dunno about that one, Chuck.

[bloodandbrass]

no point. none of you ever has anything good to say.

[hardlydead]

Bit harsh.

[bloodandbrass]

you think i'm wrong?

[hardlydead]

Obviously.

[bloodandbrass]

then keep it to yourself.

[ stop arguing while he has traps to set, david, there's people trespassing already. he can tell. ]

[hardlydead]

[ whatEVER he's annoyed now. pauses again with a huff of "this fuckin'--" under his breath and everything. ]

So your ass practically interrogates me about random shit but I've got nothing to say that's worth hearing?

[ he's gonna punch a tree this man is so annoying ]

[bloodandbrass]

[ don't call out his hypocrisy and inconsistency!! he won't acknowledge it!! ]

most of the time, yeah.

[ there's noises out in the darkness. he turns, watches the shadows, and moves toward them. he doesn't need this on top of the conversation he's having. ]
