[ the text surprises him, even more when it comes from david. usually david's the type to understand when a conversation is over.

it's the same conversation, at least. he's not sure he likes where it's going, but it isn't a tangent. ]

one of the only ones who's earned it.

[hardlydead]

Always thought you just never bothered learning anyone's name.

[bloodandbrass]

i know everyone's name. just don't usually give a shit.

[hardlydead]

Oh.

[ why does that hit with a little discomfort? he doesn't know what the feeling is but he doesn't like it. ]

Should've guessed.

[bloodandbrass]

we've both been here this long and you think i didn't? nobody can shut up around here. i didn't have to try learning anything.

[hardlydead]

Maybe it all went in one ear and out the other, I dunno.

[bloodandbrass]

used to. did for a long time.

too many assholes made it harder to ignore.

[hardlydead]

So it wasn't my smartest assumption. I can admit that.

[bloodandbrass]

woulda been right before five hundred of you showed up.

[hardlydead]

You're telling me it's harder not to know who we are now there's 50 of us?

[bloodandbrass]

like i said. none of you shut up. hear all sorts of names.

[hardlydead]

[ kind of makes david relieved he never talks about his life if people are running their mouths enough for evan to pick up on shit. ]

"All sorts."
So not just ours.

[bloodandbrass]

no. most people on my side, too. not that i give them that respect.

[hardlydead]

That how you learned Huntress' name or did she tell you herself?

[bloodandbrass]

she told me.

[ there was a lot leading up to that point, but david doesn't need to know about it. ]

don't thinks she really cares about being called huntress. just a description to her.

[hardlydead]

[ but david wants to know!!! ]

Least it's a halfway normal name. Pretty sure Wesker must've come up with his himself, who the fuck on our side is gonna call him "The Mastermind"?

[bloodandbrass]

[ it's embarrassing ok. ]

some people can't manage their egos.

can't imagine what dumbass bullshit you would have come up with on your own. can't imagine the mental effort that went into 'trapper'.

[hardlydead]

They were probably arguing about it for days.

[bloodandbrass]

probably lucky you weren't there to offer a suggestion.

[hardlydead]

What? You don't like Chuckles?

[bloodandbrass]

you weren't the first with that. just the worst.

[hardlydead]

So you're saying it might've taken off.

[bloodandbrass]

like i said. probably lucky you weren't there.

[hardlydead]

Guess that makes it just for me and you.

[ if he could see david's awful little smirk right now-- ]

[bloodandbrass]

[ if david could see evan's dead-eyed grimace. ]

that really what you wanna call me when you're begging for more?
