[Jeff likes to think that there's no chance he would have fallen in with that crowd if he'd stuck around Ormond, but part of him is unsure. Sure, he'd never really bothered trying to seek external validation, but - maybe he's giving himself too much credit. Maybe he's not giving his teenage misery enough.
No point in dwelling now.]
Been a lot of other places, too. On the road for a while. Back to school. And now we're both trapped here, so I guess the point's moot.
[ The more Jeff talks about how much of the world he got to see, the more Susie really wants to slit his throat. She’s just getting angrier and angrier. Bitterness is a strong influence around here. ]
How did you end up here anyway, Mr. Big City? Tripped and fell down a hole somewhere?
[Annoying her is the point, even if part of him has to acknowledge that he'll eventually have to pay for it. It's frustrating, knowing the trajectory of their lives had so aggressively split. That she had chosen this, when she hadn't had to.]
Yeah, Susie. That's exactly what happened. Fell into the Grand Canyon, wound up right here.
[Jeff isn't an elitist about his taste in music, but he is extremely and quietly passionate about it. Mostly it just means that this is making him suffer.]
Didn't realize you were a fan.

i am sorry (not sorry) that she can be the absolute worst~!
Oh, I'm not. But there are lyrics that could really do a number on a person depending on their mood. I could end up with free drinks, hot sex, or some good money just showing off some parlor tricks.
[Jeff appreciates that about her. He's a steadfast believer in the idea that the littlest bits of hope in the fact of the bleakness around them are what keep most of them going. A tiny ember can burn down a whole forest if it's given the right encouragement.
He is entirely too awkward to ever vocalize this appreciation, of course. But it's there.]
Yeah. Could be why I've found two cans of it now. Thoughts of a serial killer summoning it in. Maybe a twelve pack will show up if I manifest hard enough.
Please don't. One of the kids'll probably find it and start using it and I'm not hauling some arsehole who reeks of whatever that shit is out of a trial.
[ ...yeah he will, but he won't be happy about it!! ]
[He wouldn't call it cool. A grim reminder of the loudest wakeup call he'd ever heard, maybe, but at least he'd never been prone to vanity before. It is what it is.]
Technically, I guess. Moved away in high school. Came back for a funeral and got snatched up.
[He's always privately wondered if that was the Legion's fault - if he'd just fallen into the hole left behind after they'd gotten the attention of the powers that be.]
[ huh. she doesn't remember jeff moving away at all, she feels like she would've fixated on that. you know, like she will now. somebody's definitely getting hard tunneled next time she sees him in a match. ]
That's rough. Guess the Entity never was nice about taking people though.

don't apologize, she's great♥

Sounds like you need a roommate with a cat.

Sounds like excuses I know. They would hate my sleeping schedule too. Probably.

You travel plenty too, right? A roadie?
no subject
Used to be. Was fun, but I couldn't keep up with it. [Or: he'd endured crippling back pain and nearly lost sight in an eye.] Just an artist anymore.
sorry for the delay! my workload blew up by so much
np, same here!

No wonder you're listening to Puddle of Mudd. Yeah, I'll hook you up, you can see what you think.
Always been kind of grossed out by marshmallows, but you're not wrong. I'd kill for one right now.
no subject
Really? I could eat the whole bag. Is it the texture? Don't switch sides just for marshmallows on me, Jeff.
no subject
Have you googled gelatin?

You've been hiding a majestic beard under your mask that whole time? I had a feeling.
[Goddamn he's awkward when the killers talk to him.]
@groovier
[Privately he's just baffled by Ash referring to him as a cool guy. Is it the tattoos?? Are they what trick people into thinking he's cool??]
Punching him in the face didn't seem to be super effective.
