04 🍎 Some cats, they know how to fight, some cats run

[sauntervaguelydownwards]

So let’s get this straight. Giant monsters attack cities all over the Pacific Rim [aaah he said the title!], slaughtering hundreds of people in destructive rampages, and three-quarters of you dive headfirst into glorified suits of armor to punch and shoot them.

Right. More proof that the lot of you are crazy.

[Private to Loki]
You, me, Monopoly. What do you say?

No, it means you thought what happened in the breach was normal.

Fine, fine. "My warden is my hero" stuff.

[tucky]

No it didn't. It just means I didn't want to totally disregard it, is all.

You in a bad mood or something?

[sauntervaguelydownwards]

Close enough.

Not at all. What makes you say that?

[tucky]

I don't know, you just seem kind of like it to me. Being a little insulting and argumentative.

[sauntervaguelydownwards]

Excuse me very much. I wasn't aware I had to run my moods by you before I felt them, Your Majesty.

[tucky]

See, right there! The fuck's your problem? You was perfectly civil the first time we talked. Called me pretty and shared a cigarette with me and everything.

[sauntervaguelydownwards]

Calm down, calm down. You're still pretty and I still have a cigarette if you want one.

[tucky]

I am calm. Just wondering what's up with you, is all.

[sauntervaguelydownwards]

It's the schadenfreude. It's fantastic.

[tucky]

I don't know what that is.

[sauntervaguelydownwards]

And I will still feel this way when you're done looking it up.

[tucky]

What if I don't wanna bother?

[sauntervaguelydownwards]

Then you stay in the dark.

[tucky]

Fine by me.

... My warden's a good guy. He ain't rubbish at all.

[sauntervaguelydownwards]

Never said he was.

[tucky]

The idea that he's a hero ain't rubbish, either.

[sauntervaguelydownwards]

Yes it is. There's no such thing as a hero.

[tucky]

Bull-fucking-shit.

[sauntervaguelydownwards]

Truer than Gospel.

[tucky]

Don't talk about the Bible with me.

[sauntervaguelydownwards]

I was talking about heroes.

[tucky]

I know. Still don't use those Bible analogies; they ain't gonna get me to change my mind.

[sauntervaguelydownwards]

Truer than... Huffington Post?

[tucky]

I don't even know what that is. But unless it's not true at all, then no.

[sauntervaguelydownwards]

If you believe nothing else I've told you, believe this: there's no such thing as a hero. There are people who help you and people who hurt you.

That's it. No matter what they do it's all people and where they stand.
