I'll pick you up. What do you feel like doing?

[boilover]

Drinking

Fighting

Swearing

Suggestive content

Pretty much anything not PG or U

[catchacold]

Then that lines up with what I've planned.

Still legal though, I'm not getting you into trouble.

[boilover]

Good. I got ideas for legal jobs and shit, I just gotta do a little studying

Which I had.

Can you steal me qualifications?

[catchacold]

What do you need?

[boilover]

Adult maths and English

Lenny, I'm fucking dumb. It's embarrassing.

[catchacold]

The hell you are.

But I can probably see about something. Why the hell do you want that?

[boilover]

I couldn't spell embarrassing until my phone corrected it.

None of your business, I just want it.

[catchacold]

Ain't a measure of smarts, that.

You can do night classes, you know? I can get you into those.

[boilover]

I got a kid, I gotta be there for him at night.

He has to put down by me or he won't go down. Besides, I hate studying. I suck at it.

[catchacold]

You mostly just gotta pass the tests.

Ask your genius to help you.

[boilover]

Nah.

Don't want him to think I'm dumb, then he might get all funny and I'll get pissy and I'll burn another baby sitter. And the last one got super pissy over that.

[catchacold]

Well. He probably thinks everyone is dumb. Including me.

Just don't take it personally.

[boilover]

Fine.

This kid screwed up all my plans. I hate school. And honest living. I'm going to be such a nark.

[catchacold]

Still a damn hot nark.

Nothing wrong with living honest.

[boilover]

There's plenty wrong with it. You get screwed over a lot, taxes exist, all my money is earned and I have to try.

I HATE working.

[catchacold]

You could find a job you enjoy. Something with fire.

[boilover]

I was thinking that. I got some ideas.

I'll sort it out. Whatever. Doesn't matter.

How's your work going?

[catchacold]

My stuff is going great. The old man's still a mess.

But if things keep going, I'll get us somewhere better to live soon.

[boilover]

Good, I could use a bigger place, I keep stepping on Hartley every morning.

I'd like Teddy to live somewhere nice and safe.

[catchacold]

Tell me your requirements and I'll start to figure out how soon I can swing it. What do you want?

[boilover]

Less crime, less stairs, maybe two rooms? Nearest to the park or at least not further. Working heating is nice too.

[catchacold]

I think I can swing around a thousand a month right now, reliably. I do better some months, but between Lisa and you two, I wanna play it safe.

[boilover]

Once I have a job, I can swing the same but I gotta have other things, you know. I looked into it. I gotta have references and I gotta have a credit score as proof I ain't a fuck up with money.

I got neither.
