[Johnny Lawrence stares at his Omni briefly. Ever since the whole speed dating fiascothe month before there has been something nagging at him. Something that didn't quite feel right to him.
Which is what brings him to his Omni today. And after two or three times where he is accidentally posted on the network one would think he'd learn his lesson, right?]
How not to be gay.
Is doing karate with dudes gay now?
[Wrong.
The network is not google, Johnny.]
no subject
private
no
[ Okay, he's switching to private. ]
did you mean to ask everyone this
and why do you want to know
be real with me
private
I was just thinking and saw the text box and started typing.
I thought it was the search one not the broadcast to everyone one.
They should have different looking bars for that.
Last month there was the whole dating scene thing?
Mine fucking said I liked to roll around with dudes.
Instead of like doing fucking karate. You know? Like a man.
And fucking LaRusso got all weird and smug about it.
I thought I'd just let it slide.
But I got thinking about it again today. So here we are.
no subject
there is a different bar
if you can preview your question thats a network post ok
[ Will this save him? Probably not. ]
those profiles werent serious
mine called u and mr larusso my dads
mr larusso just likes to rile you up. he knows it bothers you
no subject
I thought that just meant there were previews.
Like at the movies.
[Yeah. Johnny has to stop and stare at that one for a little. Just because he knows how Daniel feels about Robby. And what Daniel calls Robby to him.
...And he's been trying to more let them figure that out than stand in the way or intervene because he desperately doesn't want to fuck with the relationships Robby has for the sake of his own.]
Well it's fucking working.
And how was I supposed to know that? Between what it said and him making digs at me.
no subject
why does it bother you
does other stuff bother you as much as gay jokes
no subject
It usually doesn't.
I mean most of my students are gay and that's fine.
I don't know- It just fucking grinds my gears that what this fucking thing got from me was that.
I had a fucking chick just a few months ago. We weren't like official or anything. Like friends with occasional benefits but it was fucking something.
And this thing just decides to kick me when I'm down?
no subject
you liked her a lot?
no subject
She was kind of a crazy bitch and did weird things with tentacles.
But she was also an adult, a lady, and a fucking spitfire.
Which has it's own kind of appeal.
I'm just saddled with taking care of a few things that we were working together.
[One of the few times Johnny doesn't have to clarify that they banged.]
no subject
what kind of things?
can you get help from other people
no subject
She's in a bit of a rough patch and we were trying to get through to her.
Maybe. I don't know for sure. Still working on that part.
no subject
maybe shed talk to someone younger?
whats her deal
no subject
It's worth a shot.
...She spent most of her life not knowing her dad.
Then they met only it turns out he's a total fucking asshole.
And he's dragging her into all of his shit instead of trying to make things better.
no subject
kiriona?
no subject
But that's the name she picked up after she started hanging with him.
I've always called her Gideon.
no subject
he was planning on talking with her recently
ill see how shes doing
no subject
I'd appreciate that.
Thanks, Robby.
no subject
shes been better lately
more talkative
shes never had a problem talking over text but we didnt really get into a lot of deep stuff or anything
just how she knows basically no music except mcr
[ and this is awkward to text to his dad of all people, but: ]
i think dying and coming back and feeling isolated from ur friends does a lot to your head
no subject
Didn't really get it myself, but I didn't watch a bunch of cartoons growing up either.
I'm glad.
Just being around probably did enough.
Thanks for that.
...Yeah.
I guess it would.
But her and anyone else. They don't have to feel like that anymore.
Right?
no subject
but i guess shes getting through whatever was going on in her head
have u been over to see her? you could tell her to show you she hasnt gone soft
she likes fighting still
no subject
Gid's didn't really want to give me the time of day so it was kind of the best way I could get in.
I hadn't really seen her much since then until now.
no subject
i know he did some big post people didnt like
or turning her undead i guess
no subject
But it wasn't the first time he crossed the line.
He helped me fight the huge Leviathan thing.
Then he decided he was going to try and fuck around with the big shots around here.
Took a bunch of kids who trusted him.
Used them and fucked with their heads.
Some of 'em were my students. Paul, Gideon, Anna.
When I found out about that- Well I cut ties with the asshole.
Broke into his house and got the kids out of there.
no subject
dont know what that means for the rest of his ideas
doesnt seem like hes trying to screw around with anyones heads
you could see how actually committed he is to making things better with kiriona by helping you and her friends reach out to her
at least let you go over
if he sucks then just flip him the bird
no subject
I don't know.
Maybe it's just what I've seen from him so far.
I'm not sure how much I buy it.
But... I do get wanting to change and actually be there.
That's not a bad idea.
Mercy was kind of my in to do that before-
Gideon hadn't really wanted to talk to me either.
So I'd go over and we'd pretend to bang to try and get Gideon out of the house.
Drove her crazy.
