What the hell's the point'a this curse, then, huh?

[ He doesn't exactly have people who stick close to him, but that doesn't mean the bubble around him isn't frustrating and restricting. ]

It comes to something when I'm trying to grab a cup'a the good stuff from an assistant and get it all over the equipment. But it ain't too bad if there's an angry broad trying to punch you down in the cafeteria.

Anyone else having fun with this stuff?

[latenightfondue]

What's with everyone wanting to punch me? I don't get it.

[waitedforyears]

There's just something about you that provokes it.

[latenightfondue]

And I don't even gotta try.

[ Audibly sighing. ]

[waitedforyears]

Yeah, I think it's the condescending air of assholery. [ Shit-eating grin. Look, she's in a mood today. ]

[latenightfondue]

[ He's just going to pretend he's amused by the insults. ] And here I thought we were getting along.

[waitedforyears]

We are. I insult everyone. [ Lies. But she does like him, a bit. ]

[latenightfondue]

On purpose or does it coming naturally?

[waitedforyears]

Perfectly natural.

[latenightfondue]

Y'got me feeling better 'bout that then. Bet you don't get half the city hating on you, though, huh? Flash'a that smile and they're eating outta the palm'a your hand.

[waitedforyears]

Well. Maybe.

[latenightfondue]

It ain't fair how much easier it is for you women to get whatever the hell y'want.

[waitedforyears]

Nah, 's just revenge for the patriarchy, y'know.

[latenightfondue]

Still got a lotta that where I'm from. Glad to see the world finally shook it off.

[waitedforyears]

Yeah, not really. But it's gotten better.

[latenightfondue]

You dames all walk 'round like you own the world, and it ain't even as scary as I pictured it to be.

[waitedforyears]

Not scary? C'mon now, that's a lie. You're scared, aren't you?

[latenightfondue]

[ No, of course he's not. ] Sometimes.

[waitedforyears]

Thought so. [ She has the grace to only look a little smug about that. ]

[latenightfondue]

Hey, it ain't stopping me trying, though. Still seem to get on better with the ladies.

[waitedforyears]

Yeah? [ Amy always got along better than guys, they're less complicated than women. ]

[latenightfondue]

Yeah, the guys don't always like me, don't get why.

[waitedforyears]

Must be that your charm doesn't work on them.

[latenightfondue]

Not sure it's working on anyone in this place. There some sort'a charm blocker or something?

[waitedforyears]

Maybe people here are just smart and don't take any shit, y'know. [ But she's laughing as she says it, because despite it all, she does find him charming.... in a certain way. ]

[latenightfondue]

As a genius, it ain't easy to outsmart me. [ Unless it involves modern technology or actual social skills. ] Maybe it's the era differences. Yeah, it's gotta be that.
