[ There's a new face on the Network today, but he doesn't bother with an introduction. He looks serious, gets right down to business. ]

Hey, I've got a question for everyone.

Where can I find a wheelchair? Preferably a motorized one.

The sooner, the better.

Thanks.

Take credit for what? Telling you to fuck off?

[robosnack]

It's not your job to keep random strangers safe.

At least not to my knowledge. Are you part of some secret Newcomer Protection Squad I don't know about?

...yeah, didn't think so.

voice; private

[tonsofpun]

It is if nobody else is bothering to tell random little punks who get dropped into a battlezone to get to safety.

What was I supposed to do?

voice; private

[robosnack]

You can do whatever you want to. Doesn't mean everyone has to like it.

I don't understand why we're arguing.

voice; private

[tonsofpun]

Yeah, well. I'm not gonna just... walk away, either.

[Awkward. For a moment. She's still upset.]

So you did get out.

voice; private

[robosnack]

I'm fine.

I'd appreciate the concern more if I felt it was more about me and less about your hero-complex, though.

voice; private

[tonsofpun]

Listen, you little shit-

voice; private

[robosnack]

Huh?

Am I wrong?

voice; private

[tonsofpun]

First, shut up, and second, I don't even know you, except that you're apparently a total douchewizard.

voice; private

[robosnack]

[ aw, shit. he's laughing. what a... colorful insult. ]

voice; private

[tonsofpun]

So yeah, you're making it a little hard to care about you personally.

voice; private

[robosnack]

You know I don't care what you think of me, right?

Though I've never been called a douchewizard before. You've got a way with words, I'll give you that.

voice; private

[tonsofpun]

Gee, thanks.

What's got you so suspicious about people actually giving a damn, anyway?

voice; private

[robosnack]

I'm not being suspicious.

I'm just a realist.

voice; private

[tonsofpun]

Great.

[She pronounces the 'T', drawing the word out.]

And you don't act like most kids. I'll give you that.

voice; private

[robosnack]

I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean.

[ this time, he doesn't sound like he's being rude, just admitting it ]

voice; private

[tonsofpun]

... if you're scared, you're not showing it.

I don't know if you're brave, or crazy, or both. But your world must have sucked.

voice; private

[robosnack]

I don't think I'm any of those things.

People live in different circumstances, even within the same world.

voice; private

[tonsofpun]

Not that much.

[Says the girl with the very limited reality.]

voice; private

[robosnack]

Then you're either ignorant, or your world is incredibly small.

The stupidest thing you could do is judge your opponents--or your allies--by the way they look. That's just a fact.

voice; private

[tonsofpun]

[Kid has a point. Ellie may not be as upset, but she's annoyed enough to just want out. Mostly because she can't argue this without sounding like an idiot.]

My world's an apocalypse.

Look. I get that you're gonna do whatever, no matter what I say. Just... try not to be an idiot.

voice; private

[robosnack]

That would explain the limited scope of situations, then, huh?

And I'm not an idiot whether you say anything or not.

voice; private

[tonsofpun]

You can act like an idiot without actually being one.

But how would I know, right? I don't know you.

voice; private

[robosnack]

Correct! You don't.

Thanks for pretending to give a shit, but not really.

voice; private

[tonsofpun]

You're welcome.
