I was really glad when I got put with her and everybody thinks I'm crazy for it.

[A slight exaggeration, but.]

[beejfu]

At least you'll never be bored!

Like, she's intense but at least she's consistent and doesn't try to fuck with your mind or your emotions or play tricks on you.

[tucky]

I get that kind of intense, though. It makes sense to me.

[beejfu]

Yeah. Poor kid.

[tucky]

She's not a kid. Probably doesn't want pity, either.

[beejfu]

IIII am ancient. Everyone is a kid, relatively speaking.

So what should I do, not sympathize? It's a new feeling.

[tucky]

Nah, that's not what I meant, just-- I don't know, "poor kid" sounds condescending, that's all.

I didn't mean that you shouldn't care. My heart hurts for her a lot, too.

[Trade condescending for dramatic, BJ; that's the way.]

[beejfu]

It does? Huh. The things you learn.

Yeah. Especially now that we can't pal around like we used to with me being all squishy.

[tucky]

I'm still curious if she actually did hit you with lightning that one time, but I understand if it's a secret.

[beejfu]

Hey, so am I. I didn't actually see it go in but she was the only one in the hall AND the only girl with lightning powers and a grudge that I know of, so...

Why? Did she say anything?

[tucky]

Nah, we didn't really talk about it. You seemed like you wanted me to butt out, so I was gonna respect that unless she brought it up, and she didn't.

[beejfu]

Nah, I didn't really care. It was just some weird fluke. Toasted dead guy.

[tucky]

And it really didn't hurt at all?

[beejfu]

You have a warped sense of pain after you're dead. What might be excruciating to the living kinda tickles when you're six feet under.

[tucky]

Huh. I got a warped sense of Barge deaths from being here. Sounds like we match. Or-- matched.

[beejfu]

I mean, I feel a LITTLE bad we never clicked before, but to be honest, I was kind of a rotten, evil little bedbug before.

[tucky]

I never hated you or anything, or thought you were evil. I liked you okay. Mostly I just thought you didn't ever take anything seriously.

[beejfu]

I always took certain things seriously.

Just not things most breathers did.

[tucky]

What kinds of things did you take seriously?

[beejfu]

It sounds embarrassing to say.

[tucky]

Well, you don't have to, but if you do I promise I won't laugh.

[beejfu]

I guess love?

Yeah. Saying 'I love you', having someone to come home to, that kinda thing.

[tucky]

You know-- that's something a lot of breathers take seriously, actually.

[beejfu]

Yeah?

That's hopeful. They get all bent outta shape when I tell them they're not special because they died.

[tucky]

How do you feel when people tell you to suck it up after something bad happens to you?
