Right... I'm just kinda surprised this place has already shown it's just as bad as home in that way.

Think the sooner you give up on finding a place that's better than home, the better.

I have, I guess.

[Obviously no place can be better than home; despite it being a harsh world, his Family's there. That sentiment's too sappy to share with someone he doesn't know well, so Firo keeps it to himself.]

Really? But didn't you say you'd be fine if you wound up somewhere other than home?

[By Firo's logic, somebody would only want to leave their home if elsewhere were better. Unless maybe Murphy means that everywhere is awful, home included.]

My home life is about as much of a mess, if not more. I'm not holding my breath on finding someplace that's better, just anywhere that's not here or there.

[He has mixed feelings about the whole matter altogether, in any case.]

[text]

[justdumbluck]

Damn. I'm sorry. It must be pretty bad there.

Back where I'm from, it can get pretty bad, but there are still good people.

[He doesn't mean that last part as a way to rub it in, but as an explanation.]

[yardbird]

[Fortunately, Murphy doesn't take it as rubbing in.]

All the good people I know just seem to wind up dead because of the bad people.

[Well.]

Almost.

[justdumbluck]

[Firo's starting to realize that this guy really has it rough.]

I'm sorry.

You can't really forget about stuff like that, but you can find other good people somewhere. So you won't be alone.

I think.

[As far as motivational words go, Firo's pretty sure those are some of the most useless put together. He tried.]

[text]

[yardbird]

You seem pretty optimistic on the matter, all things considered.

[Though complaining? Murphy? Hardly. It's actually a refreshing change of pace asides from "OH GOD WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE."]

[text]

[justdumbluck]

I just got lucky with this stuff before.

[text]

[yardbird]

Well.

Good on you, then.

[text]

[justdumbluck]

Thanks.

Not trying to sound like a jerk about it, just saying not to give up.

[He's still unused to texting and can't tell if Murphy was being sarcastic or genuine.]

[text]

[yardbird]

What? No, I didn't




That's not what I meant.

[Didn't mean to sound passive aggressive or anything about it. Damn.]

[text]

[justdumbluck]

Oh. Sorry. I'm still new to talking to people like this.

[It doesn't help that he tends to be a sarcastic jerk himself.]

[text]

[yardbird]

Don't worry about it. I've been here long enough and I STILL hate these things.

[text]

[justdumbluck]

Thanks. I thought after a while I'd get used to it, but everything here's too complicated.

[text]

[yardbird]

Doesn't get any less complicated, sorry to say.

[text]

[justdumbluck]

Well damn. Thanks for the heads up.
