3.
DROSSEL
Because I’m at my breaking point, I snapped,
and I am sick of the world, I can’t do this crap.
4.
SIGYN
Yes, you
can. God never gives us anything we can’t handle.
5.
DROSSEL
Well, he
did to me.
6.
EVRYN
I miss
Akuma. Does anyone else here miss Akuma?
7.
ILLYBRIUS,
from the Audience
Shhh,
Drossel's talking.
8.
SIGYN
a)
It’s nice of you to offer to help me,
but before you can do that, you should figure out how to get through your own
stuff.
b)
I’ve tried helping people before I had
my own shit figured out and it didn’t work.
c)
It’s like the blind leading the blind, y’know?
9.
EPIPHANY
[ It's like how on the airplane, the flight
attendants tell you to secure your own oxygen mask before assisting others.]
10.
DROSSEL
a)
My
wife is willing to put her only possession on the line to get 6 grand.
b)
I
heard about it and thought of you.
c)
I
was offering to throw an idea out.
11.
SIGYN
Why did
you think of me, though?
12.
EPIPHANY
[The person who has repeatedly told you that she
can't get you a loan.]
13.
SIGYN
a)
I
mean, you guys are adopting a child. You have an apartment that it looks like it’ll be hard to afford.
b)
You
should think about yourselves and your family and do what’s best for you.
14.
DROSSEL
a)
I
have one lined up, I need to get deposit.
b)
2500
for her service animal.
c)
2500
for the 3 months qualification thing, I get 2 free months.
d)
I
did it cause you’re a friend, I put others before me, that’s what men do.
15.
LENA
GENDER
STEREOTYPING!
16.
EVRYN
Also,
LIAR, LIAR, LIAR!
17.
EPIPHANY,
Fire Thoughts
[Pants on freaking fire.]
18.
DROSSEL
You think
I want to be in this situation? I don’t. I have no choice.
19.
SIGYN
a)
Just
because it’s noble doesn’t mean it’s the right thing to do.
b)
I
used to be like that, too.
c)
I
used to drop everything and put all my resources on the line to help someone if
they were in trouble.
d)
I
lost everything because of it, so in the interests of surviving, I stopped.
20.
DROSSEL
I did it
cause I came across it, I didn’t go out of my way, but I did to tell you. Nobody will listen
to what I am saying.
21.
EPIPHANY
[Because nothing you're saying is worth listening
to.]
22.
DROSSEL
It’s hard. If I told you what happened,
maybe you would be like, “Oh shit.”
23.
EVRYN
More
likely we’d all be like, “Oh, bullshit.”
24.
SIGYN
a)
Well,
I'm sorry I have to be cold about this.
b)
It's
nice of you to offer to help me, and I'll keep it in mind if all else fails,
but for the moment, I want to work hard and provide for my partner so that we
don't end up in a bad situation ourselves.
25.
OVD
Spoiler alert.
26.
EPIPHANY
[Now that you've SAID it, yeah.]
27.
OVD
Sorry. Habit.
28.
SIGYN
a)
And
as a friend, I want you to look out for yourself and your family.
b)
I
don't think it's wrong that you asked for help.
c)
I've
done it, too, or I've taken it when it's offered, which amounts to about the
same.
d)
It's
just that for me, there's a certain boundary of what is and is not appropriate
to ask for.
e)
I
try hard not to live beyond my means and I try to work hard and save money
because I, me, myself, personally, feel bad asking things from others.
29.
DROSSEL,
with Epiphany making fart noises in the background
I do, too,
but I have no option, so it’s whatever, I’m done, I’m tempted to tell Conny drop the shit with Emmit, and I think
maybe me and her need a break, I’m done.
30.
SIGYN
Why don’t you tell me what happened? I made a
promise to meet someone tomorrow, though, so make it quick. I have to get to
bed and sleep.
31.
DROSSEL
No point
in wasting my time. I’m so fed up, nobody can help me, so why tell my story? I think I’m gonna tell Hanna find a new sucker
for Emmit. Fine, you wanna know everything?
32.
SERLEINA
HOLD THAT THOUGHT! WE'RE OUT OF POPCORN AND
I GOTTA GO TAKE A PISS!
33.
DROSSEL
Kodi was
my sister.
34.
EVRYN
Who had no
family, other than Conny and her uncle.
35.
DROSSEL
She just
died, I’m going through
so much from that.
36.
EVRYN
How very
dare she die and inconvenience you.
37.
DROSSEL
I am
adopting a baby.
38.
EVRYN
For which
you clearly don’t have the means.
39.
DROSSEL
My wife
has health issues that can cost her the livelihood she has.
40.
EVRYN
He says,
to the girl with chronic heart and lung problems.
41.
DROSSEL
I have to
ask for help. I truly do. People donated furniture, baby clothes, formula,
diapers, everything Emmit needs, we have everything we need—
42.
EVRYN
Then you don’t need to ask for help, do you?
43.
DROSSEL
--we just
need the deposit and rent till my job starts—
44.
EVRYN
Then you don’t have everything you need, do you?
45.
DROSSEL
I have
begged my boss to let me start any sooner than January fifth, but I can’t—
46.
EVRYN
Why wouldn’t your boss let you start early,
then?
47.
DROSSEL
I had one
person who was willing to pay the deposit, that was Kodi.
48.
EVRYN
Well, who’s her attorney-in-fact? Who’s the executor of her estate? Couldn’t they carry that out in her stead,
if she had the money?
49.
DROSSEL
I am
screwed. I have no family, no friends—
50.
EVRYN
Then why
did you call her your friend?
51.
DROSSEL
I feel
like a nervous breakdown is going to happen. Another friend of mine—
52.
EVRYN
Thought
you said you had no friends.
53.
DROSSEL
--his stepdad’s a driver of a mod, he’s rich—
54.
EVRYN
Again, that’s a bloody tacky thing to mention.
55.
DROSSEL
I asked
him, his dad said, “I would, but you’re not worth my time.”
56.
EVRYN
TEAM RICH
STEPDAD!
57.
DROSSEL
I need 6
grand, I can pay it in a few months, I have no help whatsoever, ever.
58.
EVRYN
Except for
all the donated items you got.
59.
EPIPHANY
[Yeah, who donated all that?]
60.
EVRYN
Probably
Dead Kodi's imaginary uncle.
61.
DROSSEL
I can’t let Conny know I’m this stressed.
62.
EVRYN
Because
every healthy marriage relies on lack of communication?
63.
DROSSEL
Like an
example, you said your great-uncle is rich, I asked you to ask, you said no.
64.
EVRYN
You had no
right to ask that, you know.
65.
DROSSEL
Curiosity
never killed a cat—
66.
EVRYN
Yes it
did! But satisfaction brought it back.
67.
EPIPHANY
[There's nothing satisfying about this.]
68.
ILLYBRIUS
I'm
satisfied that I get to take a break from Akuma and her drama. I like these
episodes. They're like breather episodes, you know?
69.
DROSSEL
--and it’s like, worth a shot to ask people
for help, I truly need 10 thousand, we got a car and it’s in need of at least 4 grand of
work, car was free, but it needs work I can’t do at home.
70.
EVRYN,
with Epiphany sitting next to her thinking Fire Thoughts.
Then sell
it for profit like a smart person would.
71.
DROSSEL
You know
how this feels?
72.
EVRYN
Like I’m bored out of my skull listening to
you whinge about your imaginary problems to con a seventeen-year-old girl you
barely know out of money she doesn’t have?
73.
DROSSEL
I am at my
point, I give up, and nobody will even consider helping me cause I’m not smart or not an adult.
74.
EVRYN
Or because
you’re full of shit,
maybe.
75.
DROSSEL
But nobody
cares at all.
76.
EVRYN
You got
that right!
77.
2:31 AM
And y’all
are ignoring me because....?
Current
mood: lonely
78.
CINNAMON
a)
Hey
people, did I, like, do something to offend somebody? Because suddenly
everybody's avoiding me like the plague (with the exception of Bastion, who is
currently unable to contact me due to his family being assholes).
b)
While
it is a relief to not be the center of all the drama, a little attention would
be nice. I've been playing freaking messenger-girl and basically being ignored
while everyone else gets to participate in the tragidramedy that is life. It's
nice to have some time to read The Other Boleyn Girl, but REALLY, this is
ridiculous!
c)
So
if I've done something to piss someone off, could you please, I don't know,
TELL ME or something?
