You can't say what because there isn't one. I mean, think logically about what even could come from me apologizing. There's not much.

[deadelfwalking]

You are correct. Nothing will come of it. It has no meaning, and no substance. You are apologizing over semantics. Not viewpoint.

[legal_eagle]

I'm apologizing because I was rude and mistreated you. Take it or leave it. I don't much care either way.

[deadelfwalking]

Yes. That is obvious.

[legal_eagle]

Okay. So. Happy New Year, then, lots of happy returns, blah blah blah. That's it.

[deadelfwalking]

Ridiculous.

[legal_eagle]

[More sharply:]

What.

[deadelfwalking]

What was the point of this meaningless exercise? You feel no true remorse. You are a case, Ms. Karimov, of someone who hides behind the illusion of speaking plainly.

[legal_eagle]

For fuck's...I acted badly. Where I come from, if you act like a shitheel, you acknowledge that you were a shitheel, and you apologize for shitheeling. Typically there's no subsequent psychoanalysis session.

[deadelfwalking]

[he scowls.]

As you like.

[legal_eagle]

Fantastic. Have a nice afterlife.

[deadelfwalking]

[sharply; agonized:]

There is nothing nice about it. Nothing.

[he grinds his teeth; spits.]

I will have no more to do with Ashraf. Not so long as he spends his time with someone as cruel and honorless as you.

[legal_eagle]

Oh, for fuck's -

[She bites down on her exclamation, finally spitting:]

Feed me a fucking script. Tell me what the fuck I should say to avoid inflicting your so-fucking-noble soul with base fucking suffering.

[deadelfwalking]

There is nothing you can say, because it would have no truth to it. There was no thought behind this. There was no reflection.

[he growls into the tablet.]

You did not even care to speak in person.

[legal_eagle]

What, you want to meet up? Will that convince you? For fuck's sake, I don't - We had a disagreement that I mishandled. People have disagreements. There's nothing wrong with that. And now I'm apologizing for the mishandling. I really don't see why it's necessary to...rend your garments and wail about cruelty when there were just some badly-chosen words spilled and then mopped up.

[deadelfwalking]

We did not have a disagreement. You threatened me. You mock my condition, then and now. I have committed no crime against you, and yet you continue with this disrespect.

[he rakes his hand down the side of his face, drawing blood. he sounds a little unbalanced.]

I realize that it means nothing to you. It does not need to. But you could, at the very least, keep yourself from sneering at something that you don't bloody understand!

[legal_eagle]

I wasn't mocking anything. I was trying to be accurate.

[deadelfwalking]

[that just gets a rough, strangled growl of incredulous rage. there's the sound of something heavy -- like a hammer -- striking a wood floor, and then he's hung up.]

[legal_eagle]

Look, "Have a nice life" is a thing you say when you're not going to be speaking with a person again. And I was trying to edit it for accuracy. Most people would appreciate that.

[deadelfwalking]

[it ain't just that remark alone, but even so -- it's overall a case of bad timing, friend. he was in a tenuous and disconnected mental state already, and now he's gone to howl in rage-hate at the moon.]

[legal_eagle]

[yeah well fuck you buddy
she is going to find out your address
track you down
and leave a spiteful fruit basket at your door
it is going to be beautiful and tasteful
just elegant in presentation
and the card on the fruit basket will read
"Please enjoy!"
because fuck you





it's revenge somehow]
