Re: early afternoon, the day after 'Solus' shows up

[asmywitness]

Yeah, I saw. I'm impressed by his levels of pretention.

Also Isis doesn't know a good two thirds of the words he's using so I was getting through that damn video on a wing and a prayer.

...no pun intended.

Given that the entire second half of his thread was timeskip to action

Yeah, no shit. His archaism levels are fucking ridiculous. I found myself falling into some of that myself as the conversation went on.

But no, it got worse when I did lunch with him today. I brought some clothes I expensed to the Team, then filled him in on who the other members and their ranks are, about his stipend, about what he can expense to the team, shit like that. Let him know about the ways this world keeps us from using weapons. I even told him about this weird weekends.

And he said, and I fucking quote, 'I am a foe like no other, but should you continue to prove yourself useful to me and, dare I say it, *pleasant* company, then you have naught to worry about.'

Seriously—what the *fuck*? I just smiled and said I'd keep that in mind, but honestly, Tyler, I wanted to wring his fucking neck.

Frankly the ego on the man is phenomenal. And I know you probably think that's rich coming from me, but at least my skills are hard fucking won and I don't brag about them constantly. At least I act like new information isn't something I'm *deigning in my generosity* to give him.

I'm pretty sure he has Capital I Issues to do with his Yamask as well, because he asked me if I didn't have some "uncanny relationship" with my starter. Which, I kind of do, but the way he kept zoning out on it makes me think his goes way deeper than me and Isis.

No. I mean. It's not like Team Rocket isn't *full* of goddamn egotists. We absolutely are. I'm *living* with one of them. But Jesus fucking Christ, he's unbearable. He's about ten times worse at his default levels than you or Dirk or Jack at *your* most egotistical. *Put together*.

And yeah, no shit, he's got *all* the issues with poor Nour. That much is fucking obvious. I wish I could rescue the poor little guy from him.

Ugh. He's just. *Ugh*. I had to take a half-hour shower as soon as I got home after spending not even the full *lunch hour* in his presence. I felt like a goddamn slab of meat.

Also, fuck him for making Isis feel like shit. Isis is the best girl and you can tell her I said that.
