[PM]

[sent to Peter]

So, I have a business proposal for you.

...Now, that does sound like a thing that I need, yeah.

I'll be right over.

[A few days later, after Gabriel harrasses Peter in the park.]

Sorry I didn't show up. There was a particular customer of yours I wanted to avoid.

[Peter's been conspicuously absent from the park since then, living off what he'd already made (and that fucking fifty Gabriel gave him turned out to be a one dollar bill).]

Who would that be?

Guy called Gabriel. Shortish man, late 30s or so, a bit smirky? I met him the other day, didn't feel inclined to talk to him.

Good inclination. Your instincts seem to be improving.

You know him?

I do now. Could have used you as a distraction, actually.

Next time, then.

What did he do that needed distracting from?

Some sort of illusion bullshit -- looks like the rift gave the asshole powers.

According to him, the rift actually took away some of his powers - he was quite huffy about it. So I'd be glad he isn't more powerful.

He got himself electrocuted by the rift while I was talking to him. Word to the wise: don't mess with the rift.

That's according to him.

Serves him right. Word to the wise: why the fuck would I?

Maybe you wanted to try getting back. That's what he did.

Was he really that terrible that electrocution sounds fair? He was reasonably tolerable with me - mostly just unnerving and self-satisfied.

There's not any getting back. There's just living with the shit hand you've been dealt.

Yes, he was.

What did he do? I mean, I want to know just how badly I should be trying to avoid him.

We weren't in central park anymore -- he took me somewhere. And he's just an asshole, alright?

Are you aware you get really ridiculously defensive sometimes, for no apparent reason?

Are you aware I'm only still talking to you because you're a good fuck?

Oh, I've been upgraded! It's no longer 'your husband probably faked coming' now, huh?

Don't misquote me.

No, hold on. I said he didn't fall asleep after sex. You said "that's how you know he faked coming". I said that that wasn't it. You didn't believe me, and said (and I do quote) "I've had a sample of your work now." And then I explained he was an abusive asshole, and you avoided the subject.

Who the fuck sits there and memorizes conversations?

I guess it's a side-effect of being a lunatic (again quoting you). Sometimes remembering everything, sometimes remembering almost nothing at all. Or just a coping method.

You asked.

I did not sign up for this.

No one's forcing you to reply. ...Unless someone's holding you at gunpoint? Blink twice for yes, once for no.
