[blonderazorshiv]

[ At first, all that can be heard is the beginning of this song. After a bit, there's a laugh. ]

I love this song.

[ And then, practically under his breath, he sings along. ]

Clowns to the left of me,
Jokers to the right,
Here I am,
Stuck in the middle with you.

how can this comment even exist

[orangetoughguy]

[Oh no you didn't.]

the same way this one can. or can't.

[blonderazorshiv]

[ Oh yes I did. ]

[pinkeffinprofessional]

[Considering the last time this song was played nearby he got shot, Pink is not enthused]

Are you singing?

[blonderazorshiv]

[ 8D ]

I could be. Why, you don't like it?

[pinkeffinprofessional]

Are you dancing, too?

[blonderazorshiv]

I'm sitting on the couch with the dog.

[ He was dancing earlier. ]

[pinkeffinprofessional]

You don't seem like a pet person to me.

[blonderazorshiv]

Well, I found him in the desert.

[ It's actually a fantasy game wolf pup with weird ears. Close enough. ]

[pinkeffinprofessional]

How does that change anything? You could have left him in the desert.

[blonderazorshiv]

I could've. [ But he didn't and now he has a dog who howls along to his roommate's death metal. ]

[pinkeffinprofessional]

You probably should have.

[blonderazorshiv]

He's got his shots.

[ There's a lazy 'wuff' from the dog. ]

[pinkeffinprofessional]

Because my concern was if you were a responsible pet owner. How do you know he's not going to go crazy and eat you in the night?

[dignity_misery]

[Why isn't she surprised that he's singing? She pauses in the doorway, her own music having switched over to the only other genre she appreciates. At least it's quieter.]

The seventies were over half a century ago.

[A bland observation, she's not really taking a dig at him. His music doesn't annoy her nearly as much as that shit Orange was listening to.]

[blonderazorshiv]

He's not large enough. [ The dog gets some ear scratches, even as Blonde continues. ] Besides, if he tried, I'd shoot him.

[pinkeffinprofessional]

.....there's something deeply fucked about that.

[blonderazorshiv]

[ Quieter, and the dog doesn't howl along with it, though he does hop off the couch to go and greet her. ]

For you, maybe. They had good music in the seventies.

[ In his opinion, at least. ]

[blonderazorshiv]

What? I'm just saying, if that's what you're concerned about, it's not a problem. Number one, because it ain't gonna happen, and number two, because if it does happen, I'll take care of it.

[pinkeffinprofessional]

That dog's a fucking wild animal.

[dignity_misery]

[She's bent down to pluck the laces free on her boots and Rex's nose right in her face, forcing her to jerk her head to the side with a grimace. Nope, not quite used to this, but she does convince herself to ruffle his ears before the pair of them go back to the couch. Blonde's personal space is clearly a thing of the past.]

Moldering.

[Not even classic. She's going straight for moldering. And at least his is music, a few minutes in hers begins to acquire some.... 'lyrics.' If they could be called that, but is mostly just electronic noises and a beat.]

[blonderazorshiv]

He walks on a leash pretty well.

[blonderazorshiv]

[ Rex is, at least, smart enough not to lick her face in addition to shoving his nose into her face. His tail wags at the ear ruffling and then he flops across their laps, yawning lazily. The music doesn't seem to bother him in the least.

At the 'lyrics' in her music, Blonde's eyebrows raise. ] Trying to tell me something? [ He's ruffling Rex's ears while he asks, but... seriously? ]

[pinkeffinprofessional]

[Is this a fucking metaphor?]

So do babies, I hear.

[blonderazorshiv]

[ No. His wolf is a good dog, okay. ]

I'll stick to the dog.

[dignity_misery]

[The upswing of panting women in addition to the beat really probably shouldn't surprise anyone. Carla sinks back into the couch, feet up on their coffee table. She toys with Rex's tail as it flops back and forth contently.]

I didn't think I had to.

[She is, generally, always game to fuck, the only variant is how game. Whether she wants it because she's horny or because's angry or because she's lonely. A steady sexual partner to harass keeps her from all sorts of other bad habits.]
