[hostage]

Why me?

[doubleoohbaby]

You seem like you could do with the distraction. Helps to have a focus beyond fighting the good fight.

[hostage]

Yeah I'll say being a mule's a hell of a distraction

But isn't fighting the good fight what your whole little revolution's all about? Us not doing enough of it

[doubleoohbaby]

Less mule, more charm.

And no. Not really. Consider it more equal rights than a judgement of what's good or bad.

[hostage]

So you want me dealing for you

[doubleoohbaby]

I didn't say that.

[hostage]

So what are you saying?

[doubleoohbaby]

I'm admitting I might need help. It's a very difficult time for me.

[hostage]

No kidding you're kind of scraping the bottom of the barrel here don't you think

[doubleoohbaby]

Well the honest answer is a little more blunt.

[hostage]

I like honesty

[doubleoohbaby]

Alright

Well I think you might be a bordering psychopath, whether you're aware of it or not. Nothing wrong with that, we've all got our reasons. People like us just need a few goals in life. Something more than just supporting something.

You've proven you can make friends and show your loyalties, you do what you believe is right and you're honest enough.

I'd rather have you on side than against. Makes life more difficult when you gain too many enemies.

[hostage]

There that wasn't so hard

Anyway thanks but no thanks

I don't need charity

There's a doc treating me

[doubleoohbaby]

This isn't to do with charity for you. It's for myself. Covering my arse.

What has the Doc said? Given any evaluations?

[hostage]

Yeah but it's none of your business

[doubleoohbaby]

Sharing is caring.

[hostage]

The important thing is I'm getting treated by a pro and nobody has to worry about me going psycho on their ass

[doubleoohbaby]

You think it's really that easy to fix?

[hostage]

I know it's not easy

But I know what DEFINITELY doesn't fix it: somebody offering to hook me up again

[doubleoohbaby]

I was offering a job. A pastime. A hobby. I'm not a sodding dealer.

[hostage]

You offered to pay me in drugs

It's no deal

[doubleoohbaby]

Anti-depressants, pharmaceuticals. Not bloody Class A.

[hostage]

Right

[doubleoohbaby]

[Whatever. Sulking now.]

I imagine you're already aware that no manner of psych speak and prescribed pills will ever really help.

[hostage]

Yeah I know it's up to me
