Being on the bottom is scary!

[maxwellsdaemon]

Right? What if the top fell down?!

[watergrape]

Exactly! Then you would be squished.

[maxwellsdaemon]

and who in their right mind wants ta be squished?

[ Oh his mind went in a completely different direction. He's just gonna...delete that sentence?? No you know what it's still a valid response. ]

I prefer variety. Spice of life and all that.

Re: text;

[maxwellsdaemon]

[Part of the intent, to be fair. Duo mainly did it to get a rise out of his boyfriend... and because he had a warped sense of humour!]

hey, I can't knock it! I've tried the bottom bunk a few times and it's got it's perks. but nothin beats bein on top!

[sanguinehunger]

Quite understandable. Most people have a preference one way or the other. I myself usually just go where the mood takes me. Or where my sleeping partner's mood is skewed.

[maxwellsdaemon]

not bad, not bad, looks like you've got the right idea!

[sanguinehunger]

Out of curiosity, was there any particular reason you asked? Just to settle a debate?

[maxwellsdaemon]

just for the debate, nothin more, nothin sneaky going on here!

[sanguinehunger]

[ SUS, but it's funny, so he'll let it slide. ]

Well then, I was happy to help, darling.

[maxwellsdaemon]

thanks, sweetheart!

[Two could play that game!]

[sanguinehunger]

[ It's fine, he got a laugh out of it. ]

Apologies, apparently not everyone uses 'darling' as freely as I do. [ Cause he uses it the way some people would use, say, 'dude.' ]

[maxwellsdaemon]

i'm not gonna judge and not offended, you do you, buddy! just don't be offended if I come back at ya with some choice endearments of my own.

[All in good fun, of course! But now he was wondering how Wufei would react if he called him 'cupcake' or something!]

[sanguinehunger]

[ He likes your style, bud! ]

I can assure you I won't find offense. Sounds like a fun game, honestly. [ Who can out-stupid-pet-name the other? Find out on this episode of Snarky Smartasses. ]

[maxwellsdaemon]

then challenge accepted! may the best dork win!

[tightbod_bigrod]

Good to be flexible, you know? Find the good parts of both.

[maxwellsdaemon]

[Duo just laughed. Reno really seemed to dislike text but that was fine, he grinned into the screen.]

They've both got their pros and cons, won't deny it!

So you're a 'flip a coin and see where it lands' kinda guy?

[tightbod_bigrod]

[Who wouldn't want to see his beautiful face?

And who would think that Reno, ever allergic to paperwork, wanted to type?]

Maybe. Sometimes you're in the mood for one or the other. Or sometimes your partner's in the mood for something specific. Sometimes you both want the same thing, and then you kick the top bunk until the asshole has to get off to come after you.

[maxwellsdaemon]

... See now that's the con to the top bunk. But that's also why ya take a gun up there with you! So you can shoot the asshole kicking you in the back!

[More laughter.]

So you're not the bunk bed type, huh? Just a straight up boring bed?

[tightbod_bigrod]

Like I said, I'm flexible. "Bed" doesn't even have to be in the equation.

[maxwellsdaemon]

Ohh so you like a hammock too? Nice. Always wanted to try one of those!

[tightbod_bigrod]

I've slept on the ground, in alleys, in an abandoned subway, in an icicle lodge, various pieces of furniture... Gotta be open-minded about these things.

[maxwellsdaemon]

Alright, fair. I've slept in my fair share of nasty places. So I feel ya.

[tightbod_bigrod]

Just means we're ready for it when shit hits the fan.

[Which, honestly, had helped when shit hit the fan. Certainly, someone like Reno was more used to roughing it than someone like Rufus, even if he wasn't going to underestimate the boss's ability to survive.]

I just call that being an 'urban survivalist'.

[maxwellsdaemon]

Better than 'street rat'.

[Duo laughed at himself, it wasn't a common thing he heard around him these days, not many people knew his background. But even without that, there had been dozens of 'safe houses' in his career as a Gundam Pilot that had left much to be desired. So bad that he would have been more than happy to have slept out on the streets again.]

Lets just be glad this place is good enough to give housing. If the shit hits the fan, least we've somewhere to fall back on.

[tightbod_bigrod]

More than housing, man. We're working on building our own city.

[For reasons. Honestly, it's just what they did. Lose one city? Build another one. Always owned by Shinra, of course.]

Almost suspiciously generous hosts, but I'm not gonna complain. Maybe they're just naive.

[maxwellsdaemon]

It's always healthy to be suspicious, Reno. Get you your city, make sure you're armed, if the shit hits the fan you're prepared.

[He and Wufei were part of that little city too, being neighbours with Aerith and Sephiroth due to Wufei's strange friendship with Sephiroth. But he and Wufei were happy with what they had here, they were enjoying their new life, but always ready for the other shoe to drop. Something was going to happen and when it did they'd be ready for it.

And if they were just naïve? Well...]

If this is all above board I don't mind takin advantage for a good life.

[tightbod_bigrod]

If things go south you could always join the resistance in Neo Midgar.

[Always possible. He doesn't know how feasible it would be to fight in their city within a city, but they weren't the types to go down without fighting if it came to it.

But so far... it seemed a little too safe.]

Things stay like this, though, and we may need to work on livening things up.

[maxwellsdaemon]

I've got your back, pal.

[Duo grinned. They were already neighbours, living next door to Aerith and Sephiroth, so he kind of considered himself an honorary Midgardian... or whatever they might call themselves.]

Huh? You wanna start a ruckus? What kind?

[tightbod_bigrod]

The non-lethal kind. Kind of had enough of the lethal kind in my time. But, I'm sure with a little creativity we can make this place more fun.

There's only so much peace and kumbaya that a guy can handle.

[silversoldier]

Why does it matter?

[ Humans make no sense. ]

[maxwellsdaemon]

it doesn't matter. just curiosity. you never been curious about a thing?

[silversoldier]

Nothing so stupid as this.

[ ??? ]

[maxwellsdaemon]

kinda rude. subjective too. there's no such thing as a stupid question! you can learn from anythin. guess you don't learn a damn thing, huh?

[silversoldier]

[ What's so rude about pointing out the truth? ]

Sounds like something an idiot would say.

[maxwellsdaemon]

that sounds like somethin a guy with no imagination would say. kinda borin, huh? don't get invited to too many parties?

[silversoldier]

[ Sephiroth remains unoffended. He is curious why parties play a role in this though? ]

What does that have to do with anything?

[maxwellsdaemon]

just doesn't seem like you've a sense of humour, buddy. don't you know how take a joke? laugh? have fun?

[silversoldier]

[ Oh. ]

You aren't the first one to make such comments.

[ Not that he cares. ]

[maxwellsdaemon]

wouldn't hurt to lighten up once in a while.

[silversoldier]

Is that the best you could do?

[maxwellsdaemon]

what were you expectin of me? i'm not fighting with you, seph. can't have a battle of wits with an unarmed person, it's not sporting.

[silversoldier]

[ Still not offended. ]

Tell me, are you always so persuasive? Or did you have to try even harder today?

[maxwellsdaemon]

[Funnily enough Duo wasn't actually trying to offend, he was laughing.]

didn't know i was tryin to persuade you, buddy. not here to change your mind, just havin a good time.

[silversoldier]

I see. So your words lack meaning, and this is how you have fun.

[ Now he is amused--albeit at Duo's expense. ]

[maxwellsdaemon]

Not all words need some deep, hidden meanin behind them. Sometimes people just wanna have a good time. Try it sometime, Jareth.

[silversoldier]

[ This has now become a(n even bigger) waste of his time so he leaves Duo on read. ]
