I'm gonna go get tanked.

An' maybe hit some scrap. Anybody need me, send a message before you start lookin'.

Probably not gonna be in the mood to chat, anyways.

Comments

[arnhaid]

... Then there's nothin' to get upset over. Not where your bike's concerned anyways.

[badboybikerbot]

Guess m'just pissed I let it get trashed in the first place. I'm usually better about that, y'know? I'm slippin', pops. I don't like it.

[arnhaid]

You wanna tell me what happened to it?

Then I can say if it looks like you're slippin' or not.

[badboybikerbot]

Ah, giant robot caterpillar chomped on it while I was wearin' it, n'smashed me around a bit. Whatever, right. Guess I shouldn't have been out where things like that can pop up, but I was followin' this other guy and wasn't really payin' attention. Y'know, like an idiot.

[most of that probably doesn't even make sense but hey]

[arnhaid]

... Uh huh.

[Yeah he needs a drink for that one.]

Fought those things a few times. They ain't a joke. Not surprised it chewed on you.

[badboybikerbot]

This place sucks and I hate it.

[and he wants his drink back he's reaching for it]

[arnhaid]

... Yeah, kid.

[He lets him take it.]

No argument there.

[badboybikerbot]

[yay thanks pops]

T'be honest though, I'd complain no matter where I was. I know what I'm like.

[arnhaid]

Even back where you belong? What's there to get all upset about, then?

[badboybikerbot]

I have a talent for finding things to bitch about. It could be little stupid things, like finding dirt on my bike, or Power Joe saying pretty much anything...

[ah fuck. Time for another drink]

Well. Don't know if I'd go back. Probably would. Ain't really possible, though.

[arnhaid]

[Oh. Right. That... unfortunate reminder, there.]

[Definitely time for another drink.]

You dunno that. I dunno that. Nobody does. Might be possible, sometime.

[badboybikerbot]

Well for now, I'm just gonna be realistic and not count on it.

[and by realistic he means pessimistic, naturally]

[arnhaid]

If y'think that, then... awful lot of hopin' and plannin' around here is useless.

[Come on kiddo you're too pessimistic for someone so young.]

[badboybikerbot]

Don't matter. I'm all about goin' with the flow anyway. Whatever happens, happens. Right?

[or it could just be the robobooze talking]

[arnhaid]

Y'could say that.

Or... do somethin' about what happens.

[badboybikerbot]

Well yeah. I mean if somethin' shows up that needs shot at, I'm gonna shoot at it.

[arnhaid]

Not just that.

I don't got the head for science, but... probably a few bots here who do. Could always see what they need... to. Y'know.

Try and get us off this rock.

[badboybikerbot]

Tch, I don't know anything about that stuff.

Guess it couldn't hurt to actually learn somethin' while I'm here, though.

[arnhaid]

Or... y'could just run errands for 'em. Science types don't really get out much.

[badboybikerbot]

Booooooooooooooooooring.

[maturity. and more drinking.]

[arnhaid]

Yeah... kinda thought you'd say that.

[Yep, more drinking.]

[badboybikerbot]

Ah? am I that predictable? I gotta work on that.

[arnhaid]

Nah, you're fine, kid. Predictable's nice sometimes.

[badboybikerbot]

Yeah. I like predictable. Not too big a fan of surprises, believe it or not.

[arnhaid]

Since you're sittin' here, havin' this conversation... I believe it.
