[ backdated to Sunday (12/08) around noon ]

did anyone have an answer to the eye color changing problem or am i gonna have to order some contacts?

[ action ]

We'll go during the day if you're so worried, so what's the big deal? C'mon, we haven't seen you in forever.

[ One minute, you think these kids, who have been a common sight together over the past three years, hanging out in threes and fours and causing trouble, are just talking about nothing against the lockers, albeit with Skyler with his back against the wall and looking mildly annoyed. The next, Skyler's shoving one away, walking off as they yell at his back. ]

Shit - Skyler, what the hell?

C'mon, asshole, you know we can't do it without you!

[ Skyler can't help but turn around to retort. ] You only asked me because you know I'd do it!

Uh, no shit! That's what friends do. What is your problem, Veracruz? [ His friends (??) trail after him, but don't seem all that willing to follow him wherever he's going. ]

I don't have a problem, I just don't give a shit about you guys anymore! [ Skyler throws up his arms and shrugs, giving a sarcastic halfbow at the end of the gesture. ] Do what you want, I'm out.

You don't even care if we-

No, I don't! [ Skyler taps his head with his knuckles and shakes his head, his words caustic and condescending. Duh. ] Kind of goes with the territory. Go fuck yourselves, I'm done. [ He shoves his hands back into his pockets and spins into a walk down the hall. ]

I don't believe it.

He's a wuss, what the fuck was that?

Hey, Veracruz! You're a loser and everyone knows it. You're nothing without us, remember?

[ Skyler jabs his middle finger into the air and waves it as he moseys away. Clearly, he's done with that particular conversation. ]

[[ ooc: the second part wasn't necessarily meant to be responded to, but feel free to catch him sometime after school! we can establish a new context if your character wasn't available to see the above (or if you just want to do something different :D) ]]

I'm not going to touch that sentence.

If you're set on contacts then keep one thing in mind, don't go for the cheapest set.

thanks

yeah makes sense
damn it
i want to get a car not some tryhard halloween costume bullshit

You're acting as though a minor cash set-back is the end of the world.

Owning a car isn't all it's cracked up to be anyway.

when you make as much as i make thirty bucks down the hole every month instead of towards some shitty used accord is a lot
but i guess it's better than getting to go wherever i want and getting shot by the police eventually

[ this is how you look ~on the bright side~ right ]

And a car wouldn't have drained you dry instead. If it bothers you that much you could always go for the cheapskate method of hiding your eyes, sunglasses.

[ Totally how that works. ]

haha no i'm a huge fucking tool but i know where my limits are and wearing shades indoors is crossing a line
besides i don't want to get mixed up with the blood keys

[ BULLSHIT ]

That's up to you. I was just throwing the idea out there for the sake of it.
Not sure whether gangs work like that though. Not over a pair of glasses at any rate.

yeah not about to risk it
especially if they keep killing people for no reason

[ BuLlShIt ]

That's gang nature for you. Theft, drugs, pointless murder and a lot of lurking down alleyways.

[ Why yes. This guy does fail at discouraging terrible ideas. ]

who even are those guys? more animal people like the police?

[ AT LEAST YOU'RE TRYING, unlike skyler, who's just talking out his ass now because he KNOWS THE FUCKING ANSWER ]

Might be. I'd rather avoid getting close enough to find out though.

[ That's going to be awkward to explain further down the road. ]

yeah i guess
hope they dont have anything to do with the police
we'd be REALLY fucked

[ GOOD THING THEY ARE NOT IN ANY WAY SOCIALIZING OR GETTING ACQUAINTED AND THE QUESTIONS DON'T NEED TO GET AWKWARD RIGHT? RIGHT? NO? GOD DAMN IT ]

Pretty sure they're fighting with the police. I could be wrong though.

[ Oh this can only end horribly when all of this comes to light. ]

are they?
all i've heard is the robot stuff
did something new come up

[ you dig that hole, skyler. you dig that hole deep. ]

Robot sutff?

[ Who said anything about robots. ]

Edited 2013-12-15 03:11 (UTC)

[ ................................... GOOD GOING SKYLER. ]

yeah i thought there was a robot thing
i don't know there are at least five different robots on the network and i pay attention to fuck all
probably got something mixed up

You somehow managed to confuse a network robot with the blood keys?

[ That doesn't sound strange at all. ]

yeah, that's exactly what happened
get off my case

[ ~~internal screaming~~ ]

Okay. Fine.
It was just a question.

yeah
i fucked up
which was the answer

[ ~~STOP BEING SO DEFENSIVE oh my god just shut up. shut up. you dumbshit. oh my god~~ ]
