it just takes & it takes & it takes.

“uh yeah, i can actually. it’s pretty easy       i’m doing it right now. see? no mental effort required.”

          ‘ of course not ! ––– – they’re TEENAGERS, sab. i think i’ve got them handled. ’

“       they’re teenagers that don’t know how to be teenagers, ric. besides, it’s been a long time since you were a teenager, you’re a little rusty.”

         ‘ every kid that’s grown up in this would be weird in my book. but–– that wouldn’t be concern for my well-being, would it ? – – – you don’t say. ’ 

“i’m       i’m definitely not concerned for you, of all people,  but you never know how FUCKED up those kids are until they’re threatening to burn down the place for looking at them wrong.”

          ‘ wasn’t meant to be one, honey. though i guess it wasn’t too far off anyways. –– – you know, i stopped questioning them years ago. at this point ? whatever keeps me fed, i’ll do. ’

“be careful of the w e i r d one, yeah? honestly, they’re just going to fuck everything up.”

       ‘ didn’t really know my enjoyment was a  top  priority of yours ! – – – for being stuck with me, is that it ? cute. ’

“it’s not, but i’m feeling g e n e r o u s today. cute? i know i am, thanks for the compliment honey. so WHY did they decide to fuck everything up and pull all the littlies into training? seems odd.”

send me a ᕤ...

“The apocalypse made you mean, yo.” 

“It didn’t make me mean, Syd... yo.” 

       ‘ go home & sleep then. i’m sure as hell not stopping you. though you shouldn’t exactly be the one complaining. you’re not stuck with a bunch of inexperienced teens, now are you ? ’

“maybe i will, but then you’d be stuck all alone with nobody to talk to, and well, who doesn’t love talking to me? oh WOW. poor kids, my heart feels for them      it really does.”

“Hey, whatever, yawn away. Not like I was telling a hilarious joke or anything… ‘Cept I was.” 

“It wasn’t that funny.”

“cigarettes are hard to come by, i don’t blame them. everyone wants something they don’t have.”

“how romantic. say you’re stranded out in the wilderness, no other food but that stupid ring-pop. how about then? worth the risk? or is it too valuable to lose.”

“I can’t eat it. it’s too sentimental. i’ve been pretty much married since i could walk and actually married for almost eleven years. honestly, i’d rather eat grass.”

“ it’d feel kind of weird to eat it now after carrying it with me all these years. the expiration date says ‘07, but hoho’s aren’t supposed to go bad, right? whatever, it’s your turn - what’s your most prized posession? ”

“god, all i can think about is the engagement ring i got given. it was one of those lolly-pop rings, because we were young and dumb, but i can’t even imagine eating it. not to mention it’s like, ten years old, so I’d probably end up accidentally dying.”

“I’m not sure how you jumped to that conclusion.”

“I connect the dots somehow.”

“you know       now i’m slightly offended that you don’t want to see me naked.”
