⟨ Oh, that is an opinion he disagrees with. With every inch of his body he disagrees with it. Always has. Home. Here. ⟩Does it? Cause this entire place runs on an oppressive system, and I'm pretty sure that's a deeper damage.
[ there's a delay, as derek reconsiders this guy's perspective. rebellion is a different matter entirely - he has a pretty big history when it comes to trying to fuck things up for the city. big difference. ]
I'm not opposed to making things difficult for LIES. But I don't want to do anything to hurt the people who were brought here. The same as we were. They're not the enemy.
⟨ It's not that different. People make the city. Rules, regulations -- they're all made by the city. Criminals, too. Sure, there's some fucking psychos out there but a lot of people call into these pits because of oppression, too. He cares less about those people. He IS one of those people. ⟩
Some are, but most aren't. I agree with that.⟨ Let's see where that lands. ⟩
Well - I don't know what you're up to, and you're clearly not interested in telling me, but I hope your intentions are good. If they're not, someone's going to end up kicking your ass.
Gave you enough to turn you onto it, didn't I? If you're interested, I figure you'll find me. Or kick my ass. Or both, that seems to be the usual way of things.
Never met a vigilante with reasonable expectations before. Good for you, bro.
I don't think finding you would pose much of a problem, what with that whole looking-pretty-behind-bars-for-two-weeks thing you've got going on. Not that I'm saying I'm going to go looking for you, because, I mean. I probably won't. You kinda seem like more trouble than you're worth.
You would know if I were flirting with you. Tends to get pretty explicit.
Teeth-punching asshole sounds more relatable than I'd care to admit. People going to know who I'm talking about if I ask to see someone named "Wanker"?

Anyway, I'm not a vigilante. I'm an asshole with opinions and a penchant for punching people in the teeth. Maybe that's what makes the difference.
I look forward to never seeing you. Especially definitely not at Mendacity whenever I get out.
⟨ Derek how can you resist his charm? Come on, dude. Look how adorable he is. ⟩

I'll keep it in mind.
Maybe.
You can leave me alone, now.
Enjoy your time prison, or whatever.
