[rianofski]

[He's in a better mood than normal -- not that that's saying much, given that his normal mood vacillates somewhere between dour and downright irritated -- and he's gone for a walk, cigarette in hand, enjoying the quiet.

Until, of course, he starts to realize that there's far more people here than there should be. Either he's been incredibly unobservant and not noticed these people before -- unlikely, as his rampant paranoia means he's noticed most people in the City during his time here -- or there has been a sudden influx of people.

He looks suspiciously at the first person who walks by him, taking a long drag on his cigarette, holding the smoke in his lungs for a long time before exhaling. If he blows smoke on that hapless visitor, well, can he really be blamed?]

Comments

[racial]

Oh, hell no, dawg. You did not just blow smoke in my face.

[rianofski]

[He looks the other man up and down, and then shrugs.]

Not intentionally, no.

[But he totally still did anyway.]

[racial]

That's some proper white boy shit, yo, that's fucking typical.

[rianofski]

I have less than no idea what it has to do with my being white.

[racial]

Figures that you've never heard of white fucking privilege, motherfucker.

[rianofski]

I can't say I have, no, though I can probably puzzle out just what you're implying.

[Says the man from the 1950s.]

[racial]

Get that fag out of my face, dawg.

[rianofski]

[He takes a final drag on his cigarette and throws it on the ground, grinding it out with his heel.]

There. Are you happy now?

[racial]

No, dawg. I'd be happy if the white man stopped his fucking suppression of the masses, that'd make me happy.

[rianofski]

How, exactly, am I suppressing anyone by taking a walk and having a smoke?

[He's... remarkably unlikely to understand any of this.]

[racial]

It's the casual disregard, motherfucker, that makes you part of the problem. Fucking white man, all high 'n mighty and shit.

( Welcome to Poke's world. )

[rianofski]

Would it alleviate your concerns if I informed you that I have casual disregard for almost everyone?

[That... is actually true. But not a particularly good argument.]

[racial]

Fuck, no. That does nothing to make up for years of suppression.

[rianofski]

Hypothetically, how would one ideally make up for years of suppression? I wouldn't think it could be made up for, as it's already happened.

[racial]

And that shit attitude right there, dawg, that's why nothing changes. But then, you're a fuckin' white boy, aren't ya, so why am I surprised.

[rianofski]

Once again, I'll ask you, what is it I should be doing?

[racial]

Admit your white ass self is full of privilege, that'd be a start.

[rianofski]

I don't deny that.

[racial]

So what'cha gonna do to change it?

[rianofski]

Nothing you'd approve of, from your unfortunate attitude.

[racial]

My unfortunate attitude? Dawg.

[rianofski]

What would you prefer me to call it?

[racial]

Truthful, for starters.
