Boy I sure fucking wish people would stop "it's not you it's me"-ing me when I'm NOT EVEN ASKING THEM FOR COMMITMENT.

[suckingly]

I didn't say anything about commitment.

[vitainmorte]

Love is a commitment to me! I'm not asking you for that, that's all I'm saying!

[suckingly]

And since you're not asking me for it, then I don't see the problem. . .

[vitainmorte]

Right. So what exactly do you think I'm not getting from you?

We're friends. I'm happy like that and I enjoy being around you. I don't need you to "give back more."

[suckingly]

Ah, but see, weren't we talking of value.

[vitainmorte]

I value you without receiving anything. You idiot.

[suckingly]

I am an idiot.

[vitainmorte]

You are.

[ Fond, exasperated. ]

... So let's find something equal to give up. I know there's stuff you're capable of that you have to value, yourself.

[suckingly]

I am not giving up my good looks or my sex appeal.

[vitainmorte]

Sex appeal is subjective. Give up your libido. If it's important enough it'll only be for a day anyway.

[suckingly]

I'm telling you whatever 'permanence' is has got to be better to give up than my libido.

[vitainmorte]

Who are you even fucking here besides me right now.

Go fill out the stupid thing.

[suckingly]

Well, Rem but I think he's. . . and then there's that guy who not yet but I'm sure I can make us both regret it enough to make it worth it but I haven't seen him in a bit too. . .

[vitainmorte]

Maybe you can just give up your lack of standards.

[suckingly]

Listen, I'll just put something in and we can spend the rest of the time having fun,.

[vitainmorte]

Fun, huh.

[ gestures to the screen. go ahead ]

[suckingly]

It's better than arguing, isn't it?

[ screen....

working on it... ]

[vitainmorte]

[ suspiciously: ]

Why, do you expect me to be mad?

[suckingly]

Babe when we're done you won't know what you're feeling.

[vitainmorte]

So that's a yes.

[ coming to investigate what theyre typing in, ]

[suckingly]

Annnd done.

Anyway.

[vitainmorte]

[ pauses as the window disappears...

and when it doesn't return, her feathers all start to poof. ]

Maddie!

[suckingly]

I don't have a lot of braincells so I just used the ones I had.
