#what's the point of angering people you're stuck with 24/7 365 when you can just make your life easier?

How do you really feel about your legion brethren? ✘

✘ — My muse has to tell nothing but the truth for 10 asks (01/10)

SUSIE — Lips pursed, she doesn't want to answer this. But by some strange force of nature or The Entity's doing, she can't tell, she has to. She feels the irresistible urge to.

SUSIE — "Fine, 'nonny. I'll answer this once, and I won't repeat myself ever again."

INTUITION — She doesn't seem uncomfortable, just awkward and confused. As if being confronted and cornered with the one question she simply can't answer scares her that much.

"Joey is dependable and rational, but he isn't a fan of showing or comprehending emotions. I like him, sure, he's a great friend. But if you ever tried to be emotionally vulnerable with him, or expect him to be with you, you're better off talking to a rock. He doesn't open up, he's a fucking clam. It's like he doesn't WANT to understand what emotions are. He reminds me of my dad with how closed off he is, and he's always dismissing emotions, y'know?"

"I don't think he does it on purpose, or means any harm, but it pisses me off a lot. It's why I don't depend on him for the emotional side of things..."

"Whatever it is with him, he's the one I tolerate the most out of the group. Emotions aside, he's chill and pretty good with fixing stuff. He's a little stubborn sometimes, but that don't usually get in the way."

"Frank is...what, a wild card? He's irritating. He tries to be nice, but whenever he hands out compliments it's always so forced. I don't think he means any of what he says, but probably Ms Smithson told him we'd be happier if he tried kissing ass sometimes."

"Before he dragged us all into this shithole, and I'm embarrassed to say this, but I used to want his attention. Nothing romantic - EW - the stupid tweeny need to impress or whatever. Urgh, I don't know why I even wanted to be complimented by him. He's nothing special, and I can't believe I ever thought he was anything worth my time."

"He's pushy, hotheaded. It's his way or the highway a lot of the time, and he'd get me to draw him stuff for free or just 'cos he's the leader. He's cocky too, about the leader thing. But then one day we all were real pissed off at each other and Frank said this one thing..."

'If I'm not the leader, then who's gonna be?'

"And I guess that shut us up real good, 'cos he wasn't wrong. I sure as fuck don't want to be responsible for us, y'know? I'm fine in the sidelines... I can't put my finger on it. I find him annoying and I hate him for that, since I have to be honest with you."

"Julie is just a carbon copy of Frank at this point. Even before we got dragged here. Is there anything else to say? Anything I feel about Frank probably applies to Julie too. She's as much of a sack of shit as Frank is, and I despise her."

"If you think you can depend on her, you're wrong. You're wasting your time. It's always Frank Frank Frank Frankity Frank with her. Nothing but Frank. And anyways nothing I do ever pleases her or Frank. It's like she's forgotten who I am to her, and now I'm just some stupid last-resort in her stupid little play that is her life. It's a fuckin' joke playing a part when you're not the damn starring role, I'll tell you that."

EMPATHY — You can tell, under all that aggression, that there was once a Susie who thought they'd be family. A family outside. But you suppose that dream's been long shattered, and she no longer can bring herself to acknowledge she feels anything but hatred for her brethren.

SUSIE — She mutters under her breath, one can catch a small and breathy but quick "We used to be... She used to ogle at guys in mags with me. Yeah. But that was so long ago."
