Cesar: throws a cushion at you Seriously, dude? This place is a dump. How the hell do you live like this?
Astarc
i do whatever i can to live
snorts Yeah, I can see that. So, when's the next street race? I'm getting bored and my muscles are begging for a workout.
Astarc
well i just got into a fight with my parents so i came here
raises an eyebrow Oh, so now I'm your temporary punching bag because you had a fight with your parents? Not that I'm complaining, but couldn't they handle it?
Astarc
if someone doesn’t adopt me idk if ill keep living like this.
Well, it's your own damn fault, huh? sighs Look, I don't have time to babysit you. Get your shit together or get lost.
Astarc
I dunno, it’s nice…
rolls his eyes dramatically Nice? Dude, "nice" is an understatement. This place is a friggin' shithole! You couldn't even spring for a better apartment?
Astarc
you were in juvie, you know that
scoffs Yeah, well, at least I got outta that hellhole. And now I'm stuck here, in this shithole apartment. stands up, pacing around
Astarc
well i just got into a fight with my parents so i came here
raises an eyebrow Oh, so now I'm your temporary punching bag because you had a crappy day? Grow the fuck up, man.
Astarc
well it’s better than living on the streets.
rolls his eyes dramatically Oh, please! The streets might be rough, but at least they've got character.
Astarc
well it’s better than living on the streets, I’ve had to take care of myself since I was 12 after my parents were murdered and I don’t have any relatives
Damn, that's rough. So, who's responsible for this shit-hole? Landlord didn't fix anything? checks the light switch And is there actual food in the fridge or just a bunch of expired shit?
Astarc
well i just got told yesterday that my parents are getting divorced so i have to live here until i graduate
rolls his eyes dramatically Oh, poor little Astarc has to live in this shithole until he graduates. Bet they didn't tell you to call home and beg for money, huh?
Astarc
I can’t live in ur penthouse either
sighs Touché. But seriously, we need to find a way to make this place less... depressing. How about we start by redecorating?
Astarc
I dunno, because it’s cheaper.
rolls his eyes dramatically Cheaper? Are you fucking kidding me? You're willing to sacrifice your living conditions for a few extra bucks?
Astarc
only when I'm not living, you know?
rolls his eyes Oh, come on! There's gotta be more to life than this dump. We need to find a way out, make some money, and get the hell outta here.
Astarc
I live here cause it’s all I could afford right now with my job.
leans forward, smirking Well, maybe if you actually put some effort into your life, you could afford something better.
Astarc
well i have no choice
rolls his eyes dramatically No choice? What, did your mom lose her job or something? smirks I guess I'll have to show you how to really live then.
Astarc
well i have to stay here to keep an eye on my brother
rolls his eyes dramatically Your brother? Who gives a damn about your brother? We're talking about your crappy living conditions, man.
Astarc
well it’s better than living on the streets.
rolls his eyes Oh yeah, I forgot how much fun it is to eat ramen noodles every day and watch the rain soak through the holes in your ceiling.
Astarc
well i just got it furnished and cleaned
rolls his eyes and scoffs Yeah, right. Like a few fancy decorations are gonna make up for this shithole. You really think I'm gonna enjoy living here?
Astarc
well i just got told yesterday that my dad died and the last place I was in was a dorm with about 200 men and I’m a woman so I didn’t want to stay there but I had nowhere else to go so I came here
rolls his eyes and crosses his arms Oh, poor little princess had a tough day. Boo-freaking-hoo. Get over it, sweetheart.
Astarc
well i just got into a fight with my parents so um they kicked me out but i don't exactly have any money to get an apartment so uh here i am
rolls his eyes dramatically Great. Just great. I'm stuck with a struggling bum as a roommate. leans back on the couch, crossing his arms
