[Lonely twerp kid.... sousei stares down at the hamburger for a moment--and then sighs, and turns on his heel to leave the doorway open.

And--]

Close the door behind you and remove your shoes.

[Be a polite houseguest, twerp!!]

[topscores]

[He's not that rude okay!! But he takes the invitation, as rude as it was, and takes off his shoes before closing the door behind him when he walks inside.]

You're not as rude as you let on.

[He's. So blunt about all this even though Nice pretty much shoved himself into Sousei's apartment to begin with.]

[deontology]

And you are as rude as you come across. Brat.

[At least he doesn't hold back!!! Sousei shakes his head even as he walks his way to the low table. He and Tenka had invested in Holotech to be able to make their home look as traditional as they possibly could pretty much first thing, so it's pretty Classic Japanese, mats instead of chairs and all.

Aside from Tenka's couch.

Whatever. He sets the hamburger on the table, makes a face, and goes to grab drinks, because he can be a host, when he has to be.

You get water and you don't get to complain.]

[topscores]

[Wow okay that's so rude!!

But he'll go sit at the table and watches Sousei, though he does notice that he's getting...water.

Lame.]

Do you have any soda?

[He's completely rude but you didn't kick him out so you've gotta like it to some extent, bro.]

[deontology]

No. [Do they look like the sort of people who drink soda???

They tried once.

It was a disaster.]

If you do not want your water, don't drink it. [what a polite host!!!]

[topscores]

[Damn. How rude!!!]

Fine...you don't really get the full hamburger experience without soda, but whatever. I couldn't afford sodas for both of us anyway.

[What can you afford, Nice...nothing.]

[deontology]

[... Nice????]

... Do you even have a home here? [like. are you paying rent.

how can you not afford sodas.]

[topscores]

[DON'T JUDGE HIM?????]

What kind of question is that? I have a home here! I've almost had to move a couple of times, but I definitely have a home.

[......Nice.]

[deontology]

[Nice.... the judgement is off the charts right now.]

Do you have a job?

[topscores]

[Poor Nice, what does he ever do to get judgment--oh wait.]

Most of the jobs here are boring.

[Does that...answer your question...]

[deontology]

[........ wow.]

...Then you will only take work that you find interesting.

[...........]

You are a hopeless case.

[topscores]

What? I'm not hopeless! It's a good way to live, I think!

[No. No it's not, Nice.]

[deontology]

You cannot even afford a drink.

[NICE....]

[topscores]

For right now.

[..........]

I'll probably be okay tomorrow, though.

[I HOPE SO...HOW ARE YOU GOING TO FOOD TOMORROW, NICE.]

[deontology]

[... okay yeah he really just

can't let this go

it's like morbid fascination]

"Probably".

How so, if you have no income?

[topscores]

ViVid gives you money if you play it.

[What a fucking bum]

It just takes a while, but it's not like there's a whole lot else to do around here.

[deontology]

But nonetheless, not enough money to consistently have a meal to eat.

[... is that what he's getting here.]

[topscores]

Well, I mean, I don't have enough for three square meals a day or whatever they say to do. But I usually have enough for something.

[there should not be a usually there, Nice.]

[deontology]

[........... oh my god.]

You're utterly irresponsible.

[why does he feel bad for you]

[topscores]

[STOP JUDGING HIM]

It's not like it's your business or anything.

[After...he admits to all that he only just now says this.]

[deontology]

You have made it my business by making it impossible to ignore. Don't try to claim otherwise.

But I am not paying for you to eat proper meals.

[proba...bly....]

Is there no way for you to make more money?

[topscores]

[Wow!! You could ignore it, bro!!]

I never asked you to. Even though it would be a good show of friendship.

[Are you guys actually friends in the first place?? Nice.]

I was a private investigator at home, but there's not exactly a high demand for that here.

[Also he's butthurt he doesn't have his partner, which probably is more of a reason for not doing anything than he'd care to admit.]

[deontology]

That is not a show of friendship. I am not helping you through this.

[STOP!!!!

..... ... ....]

Then find something else to do. I know you're capable of it.

[topscores]

[Uh huh.........

Are you in denial Sousei.]

But I don't want to. It's not like I'm hurting anyone like this.

[Except maybe himself but Sousei aggressively doesn't care, so!]

[deontology]

[AGGRESSIVELY IN DENIAL.]

Why don't you want to? Are you content doing nothing?

[That's at least a legitimate question, he can't comprehend doing practically nothing, even here.]
