Ridiculous.

Raptors opening the goddamn door?

What part?

[fatespoken]

Downtown.

I've only been down there for a year and half or so.

[orangetoughguy]

Downtown? Doing what?

[fatespoken]

Working.

A friend invited me to live with him, and I decided I was sick of Berkeley.

[orangetoughguy]

So you decided to stretch out on the asphalt with the rest of us.

[fatespoken]

Figured I wanted to experience something new for awhile. I mean, like sure, my dad's got a place up in Venice I could stay, but I wanted to really get a feel for the real heart of the city.

[orangetoughguy]

Downtown's no heart I'll tell you that.

[fatespoken]

I was joking, if you couldn't tell.

It's a shithole.

[ But he needed to get away, and... there's no where (and no one) else. Not like he can afford an apartment on his own. ]

[orangetoughguy]

You're the one who picked downtown over Venice, but I'm guessing what you really mean is anywhere besides your pop's place.

[fatespoken]

He doesn't even have a place in Venice.

I lived in Berkeley, so either I'm rich, a hippie, or Asian. And you're from?

[orangetoughguy]

But anywhere besides your pop's place right? Well you can't be a hippie cause you didn't stay in Berkeley, and if you're Asian you can't leave home without being a little loaded, but you can be a little loaded without being Asian. I came out of LA.

[fatespoken]

I'm a grown man. A little too old to be going back home. And the second stereotype doesn't apply if they're a shame to their family. Then you get kicked and cursed out.

LA's a big place.

[orangetoughguy]

Well did you shame your family or not?

[fatespoken]

Can't drop a subject can you?

What part of LA? And no, we don't get along.

[orangetoughguy]

Northeast. You brought it up.

[fatespoken]

As a joke.

Cypress Park?

[orangetoughguy]

You gotta work on your delivery. You haven't bought me dinner and you already want to come over?

[fatespoken]

So when I ask you questions, they become implications?

You're the first person I've met here from Los Angeles. I was curious.

[orangetoughguy]

It's a joke, especially if you're taking it seriously as a window of opportunity.

[orangetoughguy]

And that's bullshit. No one? Not even one?

[fatespoken]

Texans, Yanks, Australians. No one I've known personally.

[orangetoughguy]

But no aliens or raptors, personally?

[fatespoken]

I saw a pterodactyl flying overhead during that curse, and at the zoo.

[orangetoughguy]

But you didn't swap names? Cause that's what I would've done.

[fatespoken]

I wasn't high.
