I'm not rock'n'roll. I'm... [well not punk either if he'll be honest] whatever... [he waves a hand]

And no. Like I said, do what you want-- but I'm going to be who I am regardless. I'm not some kid who needs handholding. I know what I'm doing.

[sort of. More or less. Not really but he also knew what he wasn't going to do and what he couldn't afford to do]

[ace_of_hearts]

Yes, yes, you're a Knock-off. I know.

[Tugs Sabo's cheeks.] I don't think you get it yet. You interrupted what I was doing and stopped me. You stood out there for hours. Not only do you have no life, but if you think this is annoying, then guess what cheap-shirt, retribution is a bitch.

I was going to thank your friends for putting up with an asshole like you and try to figure out if they had any connections to the law or something I should be worried about. But this is even sadder.

[vivelarevolution]

[there was that knockoff thing again. And excuse him, Sabo's shirts were not cheap. He liked good clothing, not some shabby knock-- some shabby hand me downs. But whatever.

The reasoning for Ace to want him to have friends doesn't make any sense-- or it does in an exceedingly round about way and just trying to follow the guy's logic on this is making him dizzy so he stops trying.]

Yes, alright. I'm a sad friendless knock off. Congratulations. You win. [he applauds slowly, though still biting back the retort that his clothes were well-made. Because it wasn't important. Even though they were, damnit all]

Now get lost.

[ace_of_hearts]

No. Pay attention moron! The point is for you to stop being a pathetic knock-off moron who gets in people's ways!

[vivelarevolution]

The point is I'm going to do what I want. [have two middle fingers] So go to hell.

[ace_of_hearts]

Well that's slightly more metal at least.

But still bland.

I'm thinking something black for a top at least.

[ :| ]

[vivelarevolution]

[Sabo rolls his eyes]

I didn't do it to impress you. I'm not metal either, by the way.

[he holds up his hands]

I know, just a knock off.

But are we done here? Can we be done? Should I bribe you? Buy you another bowl of ramen? Don't think I can afford to get you a life though you really need one.

[ace_of_hearts]

No. You need to get a life anyway. I mean, yeah I realize I'm sitting here in your apartment and I don't even know your name, so I need a life too, but we're starting with you, because at least my head isn't so far up my own ass that I think I don't need friends.

[vivelarevolution]

[he sighs and puts his hands behind his head. There's only so many times he can tell a guy no in one evening. So maybe if he closes his eyes and disengages, the guy will get bored and leave]

[ace_of_hearts]

[Yeah. No.]

[Also... do you really want to leave Ace to get into trouble on his own?]

[Because next step is introducing himself and meeting your bandmates to get them to help him kidnap you :|]

[Hi, this is Ace. He is a crazy person. #Yolo #Fuckeverything]

[BUT HEY IF YOU AREN'T NOTICING....]

[He'll just go get started on part B of the plan, no worries.]

[vivelarevolution]

[Good luck with that. Sabo opens his eyes, watching Ace leave and then flopping back arms spread.

It wasn't the same.

He should have expected it even if he didn't understand it.

Well, that's fine. He has work to do. He gets up, gets his guitar, jacks in the headphones and starts to play.]
