You have one knife and a skateboard.

( can you feel his incredulousness through text, billy? )

Why are you there? You can come and live in my apartment. It's large. I don't need all this space.

[jizzledim]

that's all anyone needs, baby

[ it's... not, but a knife and a skateboard has gotten him pretty far in a number of situations, so. not exactly useless, either.

anyway. that's definitely an interesting question. ]

marcus lives here too
my friend from home
so. it just makes sense, i guess.

[ it doesn't make sense, when billy could live somewhere more decent, and maybe stop picking food out of dumpsters tucked behind bougie restaurants in the up, but listen. friendship. ]

besides
you'd kill me before our three months are up
and as much as this place kinda blows
i'm not really looking to be strangled to death yet, haha

[blamedestiny]

I would not kill you.

( he hadn't killed jaskier and you weren't anything like that, billy. )

And I don't mind your friend coming along. I don't think he can actually stay here permanently because of this city's fucking rules but I don't mind him around.

( don't mess with his swords, don't get blood anywhere. )

You don't need to be there.

[jizzledim]

i mean i guess if you're cool with him hanging out
like a lot
then i'll think about it

[ listen, just give him five minutes and he'll be sold on it. he's already sold on it, but let him keep some of his pride. ]

let's say i do move, though
what are the house rules

[blamedestiny]

There aren't many.

Don't take any of my things without asking.

( like his swords, basically. )

If you make a mess, clean it up. If you or your friend is bleeding, make use of the first aide supplies. You can use whatever money I'm given and you can eat and drink whatever you'd like. If the alcohol is gone, replenish it.

( very serious rules. )

I don't expect anything from you. I'm not going to make you do anything you don't want to do.

[jizzledim]

[ ... well. that's incredibly easy. and convenient. and in his favor. hmm. ]

and you wonder why the daddy thing is even a thing
this is like
the definition of a sugar daddy

[blamedestiny]

I don't even know what that means.

Are the rules not up to par for you?

[jizzledim]

no no, they're good
they're great
zero complaints, actually

[ ... ]

a sugar daddy is like
a dude, usually older, i guess, who gives someone else gifts or cash in exchange for whatever they've negotiated
most of the time it's like kinky shit i think? pictures, dates, whatever
sometimes they do it for nothing at all
like in this case
so. yeah.

[blamedestiny]

Let me reassure you that I don't want anything kinky from you. Or pictures or dates or whatever.

( if that was something he wanted to do, sure, geralt would be all about it. but he's not the type to bribe someone into it. )

I'm not going to make you do something for me just because of what I can offer.

[jizzledim]

[ leave it to billy to take this as 'we're never gonna bone because i have zero interest in you'. it's fine, it's cool. it's coooooooool. ]

yeah, no
totally cool, i get it
i was just uh
explaining what it was
i was just making a joke about the whole thing anyway

[blamedestiny]

( billy, you pessimist. he would bone you in a heartbeat. )

You're welcome here.
I don't want you to think you're not.

I would like you to be here.
And your friend can be here too.

[jizzledim]

[ WELL. ]

okay, well
i've given it some thought

[ literally like ten seconds of thought. ]

and i guess all of this sounds alright
so sure, what the hell
i'll call the movers to have them lug all my shit over

[ ... ]

haha kidding
i own like three things

[blamedestiny]

Then, you own about the same amount of things as I do. I'll give you a key when you get here.

And then you can do whatever you'd like. I do sometimes have people here but they're aware that you'll be here as well.

[jizzledim]

you mean you're not a hermit who just stands at the window and broods, wishing society would leave you alone?

[ what a little shit. ]

that's cool though, i don't care
it's your place
if you ever want me to like
not be around while you have someone over or whatever
just say the word and i can find somewhere else to be, easy

[blamedestiny]

I think it'll be fine, Billy.

I want you to feel like you can do what you'd like to do.
You have your freedom.

[jizzledim]

okay. cool.

[ honestly, as much as he was opposed to this whole contracts thing in general, this is working out pretty well for him so far. hmm. ]

thanks man

[blamedestiny]

You don't have to thank me.

And if you drink all the alcohol, replace it. That's the last rule. I'll see you soon.

[jizzledim]

yeah, yeah, i got it.
26th floor, right?

[blamedestiny]

Right.

Knock and I'll let you in and give you the key and then you can do whatever you'd like.
