She hadn’t really been paying attention to where they were going along the way, but it didn’t seem to take very long before they arrived.  She wondered silently to herself who would have been the first to rent her, while the bots not-so-silently knocked on the door to gain the attention of whoever lived there.  Surely they couldn’t be worse than Tomori supposedly was...

As the drone punched in the coordinates to the hive of his new client, the troll fidgeted nervously. At least last time he saw who he was going to be with before any chance of escape was taken from him. As the drone shoved him on to the platform the last thought Sollux had was the human saying first the worst, second the best.

John Crocker, while generally a nice young man, was spoiled. His mother was the owner of CrockerCorp, a company that had more money than anyone knew what to do with. He was living pretty and despite being a switch in a slavehold for primarily business reasons, he had gotten pretty lucky the past couple of weeks, only renting others, rather than being rented. Even when he was rented, playing the ‘my mother will cull your ass if you make me do anything' card generally worked, since those masters were too afraid to know that his mother actually wouldn’t give two shits. This time around, he wasn’t so lucky. Bro Strider knew better than to fall for his usual antics, and didn’t take his shit. Last time he ended up with his ass handed to him more than once for giving this Strider problems. Needless to say, he wasn’t at all happy when told the news, grumbling as he dragged himself to the other’s apartment. He didn’t want to do anything. Maybe he could get away with lazing on the other’s couch and just watching Netflix. If there was anything good about being rented, it meant two weeks off from work. As he arrived at the other’s apartment door, he gave a couple of knocks before waiting. His expression was none too happy: brows furrowed, mouth turned down in a frown, and hands in his pockets. He just wanted to get inside and relax, hoping Bro had no plans of him for shit to do. Maybe if the other was lucky he’d do a dish or two, but chores or being told to dress in any particular way was not something he was down for. Spoiled was definitely a suitable term for him.

Are you fucking KIDDING ME? After FIVE FUCKING YEARS of being missing and EIGHT YEARS of tearing our fucking FAMILY apart, he shows up again HERE? Well I hope to GOD he knows he's NOT WELCOME in our family anymore. God, he looks like such an asshole. Guess life's been peachy keen to him while he left Dirk to fend for himself. Why'd he have to come back? It'd have been so much fucking easier if he was dead. So much fucking easier to move on with life. But no, he had to show up again. Probably to tear us apart again. I don't give a single fuck that he's some hotshot movie producer and I don't give a single fuck that he's family. I'd rather he just die in a hole. Fuck you, Dad.

Jade knocked on Bro's door lightly.  Today was the day she was going to get her snake bites! Cal had given her his approval that day in the common room and  since then she had been building up the courage to actually visit bro to get them pierced.

but ill take other peoples opinions too
