40 - He'll probably regret this later

[major_west]

If somebody has something to say to me regarding certain 'revelations' from the flood or that ridiculous little story being circulated, then be a man and say it already.

[OOC: He's mad because 1) the timing of the porno story with him accidentally coming out 2) Charlie implied that he wasn't a man and 3) Gene was being weird at him over being gay after the flood (or he at least perceived it that way). D:]

From attacking the wrong person.

Who's that then?

Private

[major-west.livejournal.com]

I don't know who actually wrote it. I just know the Marquis didn't.

Private

[fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com]

Is that a fact?

Private

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Yes. Why would I lie about this?

Re: Private

[fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com]

Because it looks pretty fucking similar to his usual work, Sparrow.

Private

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Don't call me that. I don't like it when anybody calls me that.

Private

[fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com]

Whatever.

How'd you know it ain't his, tough guy?

Private - strikes scratched out, but can be deciphered

[major-west.livejournal.com]

He told me it wasn't.

For one, he hasn't denied any of the other things he's written before. Why would he start now? And I really doubt he's stupid enough to write a story targeting us three specifically, when there are others less likely to kill him for it on the Barge.

Private - and they are. D:

[fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com]

He told you? What are you, a fucking high school girl? That don't mean shit.

I hate to start with the conspiracy theories, but Madonna Santa, you don't give this guy enough credit.

Private

[major-west.livejournal.com]

He's never been dishonest with me before.

Conspiracy theories? You think this is some plot by him to do what, exactly? Get himself beaten to death?

Private

[fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com]

He bases it around the wrong guys because he knows he'll get away with it.

The second his warden became an uptight cunt, he knew he had to get creative. You go to an extreme and guess what happens? You can pass the blame.

He's an exhibitionist. He gets his work out there while she becomes this fucking maternal warden all over again.

He just gotta say, "But I wouldn't do that -- that's stupid", maybe change a few things in his style, and hey presto. He's in the clear.

Private

[major-west.livejournal.com]

That's... actually a very good theory.

Private 2/2

[major-west.livejournal.com]

But he's a friend of mine. I haven't done anything to warrant being included.

Private

[fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com]

You sure?

Private

[major-west.livejournal.com]

Nothing that I know of.

Private

[fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com]

That kinda confirms it.

Private

[major-west.livejournal.com]

What? I think he'd tell me if he was upset-- and... he seemed genuinely confused when I confronted him about it. I don't know if he's that good an actor.

Re: Private

[fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com]

By including you, not only do you not suspect him, but you help get Charlie put out of action. Had I tried to put a bullet in the zitellona's eye, Moe Green style, you'da gone for me too, right?

In-fucking-genius.

Private

[major-west.livejournal.com]

...I suppose.

Private

[fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com]

You still defending him?

Private

[major-west.livejournal.com]

I don't know anymore.

Private

[fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com]

What's to think about?

Private

[major-west.livejournal.com]

I just don't know if I believe your scenario entirely yet. It could be all that, or it could be much simpler: it was a prank.

Besides. Charlie already broke his writing hand. Isn't that enough?

Private

[fathersbludgeon.livejournal.com]

Enough? Not where I come from.

Private

[major-west.livejournal.com]

I had to listen to him scream. I don't want to do that again. Leave me out of it.
