He called me a creature.

Like, I understand that my kind are typically called monsters, that's a given. But creature? That refers to my not being sentient and that simply is a load of shit.

[asmywitness]

Oh, I'm fully aware that being a Monster is entirely different to being non-sentient, don't worry.

[Interesting choice of capitalisation from the very meticulous typist.]

It's almost impressive how infuriating he is. You'd be hard pressed to believe he *wasn't* doing it on purpose.

[wonderland_vogue]

I know you are.

[What does that even mean.]

Given he was supposedly and immortal before coming here, I cannot say I'm exactly... surprised that he pisses people off like this. The majority of the types I'd run into before coming here were typically insufferable. Glad to see he continues the role, but he'll trip over his own gaudy boots sooner rather than later.

[asmywitness]

I've written that type so many times, I've got all the hallmarks of an stereotypical insufferable egotist forever burned in my mind. Something about it will absolutely be his downfall, but what specifically is going to be the fun surprise.


I'm more currently interested in what the hell does that mean, 'you know I am'?

[wonderland_vogue]

[Oh, good thing this is not video. Because she absolutely cannot help the actual bit of a smile creeping to her lips. Ah, yes, this.]

Because I would certainly hope by this point that while I'm no stranger to being something of a monster that I am very much sentient. If anyone would know that, I would think that you.

As much as other company might continually call me a bitch and get pissy over the smallest things.

[asmywitness]

[He's raising an eyebrow at his own screen now, and there's a little smile on his face too.]

Don't give yourself too much credit, *darling*. I've had experience with monsters before you.

Other company means well, but also could serve to remove the stick up his ass on occasion.

[He loves you Steven, but he's not above shit-talking you to his fuckbuddy.]

[wonderland_vogue]

Oh come on now, darling is my thing to be using. [She's not remotely mad about it.] Oh, does this mean you don't think I'm a monster? Or am I just another in the collection, hm?~ Either way, I'm touched. I suppose.

The one time you call someone a sugar daddy and it forever becomes a sticking point...

[asmywitness]

You haven't exactly done anything to prove you ARE a monster, but I'm not going to dismiss the notion out of hand. Neither of us are exactly nice people. And I'm certainly not opposed to adding another monster to the list of people I care about.

[..........wAIT SHIT]

[wonderland_vogue]

[Ohhhh boy. That's a hell of a pause between that text and her own, probably about an hour's worth. While she tries to process what in the goddamned fuck just happened there.]

Please love yourself better than giving a shit about me. What the fuck.

[asmywitness]

[That's plenty of time for Tyler to work himself halfway to a panic attack.

It's not a video call, this is fine, he can just smooth-talk his way out of this hole.]

Now you're giving ME too much credit. It's easier just to say 'care about' than go into the whole spiel about how I don't have any empathy but you're an exception that I'm willing to put some actual time into investing a proper interest in. And even then, we're just work friends with extremely enjoyable benefits.

[nailed it]

[wonderland_vogue]

[It's probably better than screaming into a void during that time and having every single one of her cats be absolutely concerned.]

How can you have no empathy when you're saying you're willing to invest time into me of all things? That sounds a little contradictory, darling.

Merely stating the facts.

[So did not nail it.]

[asmywitness]

[Fuck.

fuck fuck fuck fuck shit]

Just forget about it, then. It's all just a hassle, and we hardly need one of those when we've got more interesting fish to fry.

[wonderland_vogue]

[You know what, that's fair.]

If you ever want to not dodge around the answer, then feel free to say so. Otherwise I'm perfectly fine ignoring it.

[asmywitness]

Let's continue ignoring it, thank you.

[he's going to suffocate himself in his pillow now this is Fine]
