Yes. Moral support. That was Roger's story and he was sticking to it. But it really was amazing blackmail. And of course he brought it up whenever he could. Besides, Mark picked on his writer's block and the fact that he kept playing Musetta's Waltz. Or what sounded like Musetta's Waltz. So of course Roger would bring up that little documentary. It was perfectly justified! Of course, if he bothered to read the basis of RENT or the character correlations, he would never play Musetta's Waltz again. Ever.
Of course, seeing Mark's eyes light up at the mention of Maureen made Roger groan.
"Really, Mark? Really? After all the shit she put you through? Hell, she tried to fuck me while she was with you!" Which really had been the line for Roger. You just don't do that to a person. He may be a jerk, but he still wouldn't fucking cheat on someone he was with. And the fact that Maureen tried to cheat on Mark with him, Mark's best friend? That was even worse.
Shaking his head, Roger sighed.
"But yes. She's here. She got here around the same time I did. Annoying as fuck." And then Mark was asking him where he was from and the musician sighed, "November... I was driving in Santa Fe, thinking about coming back home and I ended up here."
