[Jake has been bumming around the alphapartment, depressed and watching movies and trying both to isolate himself and to find solace in whatever company he could get. It's been a few days and Dirk still hates him, or so he's convinced himself, and he is very depressed that he's lost his best friend.

He's on the couch with a huge pile of movies on the floor next to it, watching somewhat blankly with an empty bowl of popcorn. He's never been so unenthusiastic about watching movies in his life.]

	[ He unconsciously rubs at the shoulder that was dislocated a couple of days prior. ] You've known the guy for months and you still don't see it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He's been a big help to me, Dirk. I don't understand what I'm supposed to be seeing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The part where he's a creepy old asshole hanging around and hitting on a bunch of kids half his age? Or how about the part where he goes out of his way to stir shit up and piss off, again, kids half his age? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He's only joking, Dirk, you needn't take his teasing so seriously. And I, for one, have never been pissed off by his antics. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He's a smug, overbearing, manipulative asshole without any regard for boundaries. He doesn't know when the fuck to back off, he doesn't take no for an answer, and he's abusive physically, verbally, and probably sexually. It's probably lucky that you actually like hanging out with him, because if you didn't then he'd still insist on invading your personal space until you were just too worn out to bother telling him off anymore.

	Mayhaps, my good friend, it is precisely because you treat him so terribly that he reacts in such a way! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As if he needs the provocation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, he's never behaved in such a treacherous way to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lucky you. Go talk to Roxy about the way he treats people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-10-28 03:16 am UTC (link)
	Not even Roxy seems to hate him near as much as you do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She should. The guy doesn't have a single redeeming bone in his fucking body. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I demand that you stop speaking ill of him! He was there for me when you weren't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-10-28 03:37 am UTC (link)
	[ That ruffles Dirk's feathers so hard. ] Of fucking course he was! He's just better than me in every conceivable way, isn't he? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-10-28 03:41 am UTC (link)
	I didn't say that at all!! You're putting words in my mouth!! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-10-28 03:43 am UTC (link)
	You didn't have to say it! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-10-28 03:44 am UTC (link)
	I don't think it either. What the frig is the matter with you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-10-28 03:54 am UTC (link)
	[ He slams a fist into the wall behind him and squeezes his eyes shut from anger. ] More like what isn't the matter with me, am I right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-10-28 03:55 am UTC (link)
	[A frown.] He was right, wasn't he. I was right. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-10-28 03:57 am UTC (link)
	What are you talking about? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-10-28 04:29 am UTC (link)
	I'm not surprised you don't remember, you were pretty keen not to talk to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-10-28 04:32 am UTC (link)
	Wh... [ And then it comes crashing down around him. You don't have to hate yourself. ] ...You still don't know what you're talking about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-10-28 04:34 am UTC (link)
	[Jake gets up and nears Dirk, staring at him right in the shades with a forlorn expression.] We've been friends for how long, Dirk...and you still think that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-10-28 04:36 am UTC (link)
	[ Oh no no no. Dirk backs away. ] That doesn't make you privy to what's in my head, Jake. [ Maybe not, Dirk, but you've said a lot of damning things in this very conversation. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
