I don't know. Kinda rational. ( Steve can't help but feel bad that he never noticed people he should have because he was too busy trying to rein in Tommy. too concerned with seeming cool. too busy keeping up appearances to realize they didn't really matter that much, anyway. ) Not funny looking, smartass. Funny haha. And yeah, she did. I wish I'd known her in highschool.
Of course I like my car. It's a BMW 733i. A sweet car, okay? Trust me. ( Steve gets the sense Quentin is not a car guy. ) I don't think the car gets me going, but I do like car sex. So kinda, but not really.
I miss everything from home, at least a little. But in general? No. ( Steve doesn't regret cutting ties with Tommy and Carol, even if his social life took a nosedive after. ) Fine. We can hug, if you really want to. And I think she's more the, pretend I don't want one and somehow make something hug adjacent happen and then act like it wasn't a hug after it's over, type.
( did that make sense, Quentin? well, too bad, Steve is sticking to that interpretation. )
Were you that bad? What’s the worst you could have done? Nobody’s obligated to forgive you but it’s not something you should hold on to yourself. [ Steve bully is so hard to picture for him. Except maybe when he wears those tan khakis. It just screams “I own a yacht” or something. ] You opened the door to bad jokes. Mm. Better late than never.
Yeah, I know what a BMW is. That’s pricey. [ He’s had like Hot Wheels at some point?? Practically an car expert, right? Nah, he’s drawing a blank. He is not a car guy and has no idea what this specific car would look like but Brand Names are known. ] So a little of both?
Everything? I guess I do too. Good riddance to bad friends. … Yeah? Cool. Not too weird? It’ll have those bro pats on the back to make it less awkward. That sounds like Laurie alright.
I was just too worried about myself, mostly. Staying on top, even if it meant looking the other way when people were assholes. And I didn't pay much attention to anyone that wasn't in the same circle. ( not so much an active bully, usually, mostly just criminally unaware at best and a silent bystander that knew better at worst. ) I guess I broke Jonathan's camera. That was probably the worst of it.
I don't think so. Isn't there just a place you feel good? You like it there, you're more comfortable, so sex is better too.
Yeah, I was better off without them. ( even if cutting ties with Tommy and turned out to be social suicide and he was mostly on his own until he befriended robin. unless you count driving Dustin around. ) Thanks for letting me know about the bro pats in advance, buddy. ( Quentin you are so weird. he does like it tho, so, it works in your favor. )
Sounds like standard popularity stuff to me. [ Okay. He takes it back. Breaking a camera is pretty mean and non-standard. And costly. ] Did he forgive you for that or is he grudge guy?
No? [ Answering no to that seems so pathetic. He has to think now. … nah he’s got nothing. ]
For what it’s worth now, I’d have no idea you were previously an asshole if you didn’t state it. I think it was pretty good for you. [ This is going to be such an intense hug. ] You’re welcome. :) If it works out we can move on to platonic spoons. Haha.
We get along okay? I replaced the camera, he got the girl, all worked out in the end. ( Steve still thinks taking pictures of Nancy getting undressed is creepy as fuck, but, that's behind them now. apparently.
...jesus, buddy. ) Really? Nowhere? That's... I hope you find one when you get home. Hell, around here, somewhere. It isn't all terrible. I kinda like the carnival, by the asylum? Or, I liked it better when Maurice was still there.
Somehow we circle back to your spooning rules. You gotta let me know when it happens if you're gonna be a stickler about no big questions. ( he's joking. ...mostly joking. lets be real, Steve isn't generally the guy to ask big questions. )
How did that work out? You broke his camera and then he stole your girlfriend? [ Jonathan??? He seemed so nice. ]
That sounds really sad in hindsight. I used to be okay places but it got a little ruined for me. Thanks. It's not the worst spot around. I also thought it was nicer with Maurice but I didn't want to say I missed the zombie horse and come off sounding like a freak.
You thought I was letting that go? Ha ha ha. Okay.
That wasn't the exact order of events. ( not exactly a denial of the stealing, though. Steve doesn't have it in him to confirm it out loud, even though it feels like that. what else do you call having a fight with your girlfriend, going to try and fix things, and she's already off in Indianapolis with the same guy you thought she was cheating on you with in the past? okay, fine. not stealing. but... something. that didn't feel great! )
Okay places are better than bad places. ( Steve gets having those, too. ) If missing the zombie horse makes me a freak, then I'm a freak. I miss that guy. One thing in this shitty place that didn't want to murder me was cool.
I guess I thought actually spooning might have soften your stance, that's all.
You broke it in retaliation? I guess I can't blame you but wow. There's so much drama here, Steve. [ How they seemingly get along pretty damn well here, he has no idea. They're not giving each other stinky looks or anything. Jesse would've been glaring daggers the entire time in Steve's shoes. ]
That's true. I like that chapel, when it's there instead of asylum. There's always a gen upstairs in there that I find relaxing to work on. We can both be freaks. Maurice was really chill. Just hanging out. Being a horse.
No, I broke it because he took some creeptastic photos. ( to be fair, it did involve Nancy... but Steve is going to do Jonathan a big favor here and not be particularly specific. they all have to survive here, getting along is in their best interest. ) It just feels like it was a long long time ago. You know? There's more important shit going down than stuff that went sideways senior year.
The chapel is cool, yeah. Hope the fact he's gone just means he made it out. ( that is almost painfully optimistic, Steve, Maurice was so radiation burned he could hardly move. but okay, maybe he made it out, he definitely didn't get eaten by the dredge. )
Whatever, man. If I wanna have big thoughts mid spoon I'd like to see you stop me.
[ Unfortunately the unspecific part of “creeptasic photos” just brought up a visual in Quentin’s mind he’s been trying desperately to delete while thinking over what that implied. He’ll give the benefit of the doubt since Steve hasn’t been shitting on Jonathan at all so it must’ve been nowhere nearly as bad, one-time-immediately curbed thing, or even accidental. Nancy’s too self-respecting.
Got too invested in this teen drama and screwed himself over. Moving on! ]
You can probably let breaking it slide because I would’ve also did that. Anyway, way more important shit.
Me too. But the implication that a horse figured out how to get out before us is a bit insulting to our collective intelligence.
A spooning rebel here. You’re not supposed to overthink and just roll with the comfort.
( Steve is possibly too forgiving on this matter, but, if Nancy isn't gonna hold it against Jonathan, how can he? maybe taking pictures of her getting naked from where he was hiding in some trees was totally on accident! and developing them at school must have been an accident, too. )
Hey, maybe he was just a super smart horse. He had three eyes, maybe he had extra brains too.
I've never been a little spoon before, remember? Lots to think about. Is this the right angle? What should I be doing with my hands? Does my hair smell weird?
[ Hawkins is so weird. Or the 80s are weird. Or both. ]
You think he actually saw things with that third eye? I mean, I guess it’s possible here. I’ll join your optimistic viewpoint and say the horse got out and I shouldn’t feel stupid for being beaten out by a horse because it had mystical powers and I don’t. Like a … zombie unicorn.
You just got to roll with it, Steve. Everyone’s hair probably smells weird here.
Well, if he could I guess he saw the way to get the hell out of dodge. Good for him. Wish he could have said something, but even psychic horses have limits I guess.
How am I supposed to roll with it if there's a good chance my hair smells weird?
Because nobody cares, Steve. As long as it’s just weird and not gag-worthy, you’re fine. Mine always smells like chlorine. Whatever, right? Do you need me to sniff your head before you spoon?
Now I wonder what he'd wanna talk about. If he could talk.
( steve did you find some blighted serum to huff or what )
Fuck that. I care. My hair has been a straight disaster in this shithole nightmare realm. I don't need it to smell, too. That'd ruin the cuddle vibe, I promise you it would.
Steve, your hair looks fine. Like, better than anyone else's 99% of the time kind of fine. I'm not just saying that. What are you even going to do? Wash it beforehand? Do you need me to find shampoo?
I don't know the inner workings of psychic horses, man. And you can't get them here. It's like when we get caught up talking about how good having a real hamburger might be. I feel like he'd be all "oh, I miss a good bale of hay."
I've found soap and toothpaste plenty of times. Hygiene falls under how I only find stuff for health. Chances of finding drugs are higher but I can get it. You want the soap I got right now? Would it ease your panic? What do you have to trade? [ He'll give it to him for free anyway. ]
I bet he'd wanna talk shit about the fucking clown. I would, if I were a psychic three eyed horse that had to deal with that guy.
What kind of drugs? ( Steve is only interested in one kind, frankly, but this place would be high key less miserable if he could smoke a joint here or there. ) Soap is better than nothing, I guess. I don't know, not much. Flashlight stuff. You want a sailor suit?
I can see that. Talking about how bad his back hurts from that asshole.
All kinds. Why do you ask? [ Oh. There he goes being the campfire drug dealer again. He's owning it. ] Bar soap. I have scented and unscented. The scented comes in floral and I think it's some sort of citrus. Ha ha. Uh, no. I'm not that desperate for outfit variety just yet.
Or being way too aware of the weird shit the guy gets up to in that trailer.
Probably stupid to get toked up at the campfire, huh? Nancy would murder me. ( it is stupid. he shouldn't make Quentin the campfire drug dealer. so Steve won't ask. ) Citrus, even if it makes me think dishsoap. How about the reindeer sweater? That'd look good on you.
Gross. Poor Maurice. I'd get out of here instantly too if I were capable and privy to that man's depravity. I'm still not over the fingers.
You'd just come back. The medical marijuana I've found kind of smells like shit but we can put this one flower Claudette finds in there that'll help. There's another source on Haddonfield in like the houses but I've never tapped into that. [ Quentin is downing a pill as he types. Steve doesn't even have to ask. ] It's not dish soap. Don't worry. Really? You don't want to hold on to that? I've been dying for a sweater.
Yeah. Now there's we've talked it out, really can't hold it against the guy. Hope you're in a better, clownless place, Maurice.
Doesn't all weed smell like shit? It's a hallmark of good weed. ( QUENTIN PLs THE UPPERS WILL KILL U BEFORE THE SPRINTING HILLBILLY WITH A CHAINSAW AT THIS RATE )I'll stick to soap. For now. If I change my mind, I'll let you know.
It's just a sweater, man. A doofy sweater my mom got at Sears. I've got the green one, anyway.
No, listen, there's weed smell and then there's fog weed smell. It's really strong and absolutely not a sign of it being good. It's only okay. [ NO SLEEP. His heart is a jackhammer. If he drops on him next trial from a heart-attack, just ignore it. He's fine. ] Sure thing, Steve. I got plenty.
Exactly! It's a sweater. It's got reindeers on it. It's a turtleneck. I'm going to be living it up in it. Do you have any idea what it's like seeing the Entity let everyone else change clothes and not you? I'm stuck being tree shirt guy. Killers learn my name before everyone else because I look the same every damn time. I'm going to be warm in a sweater now, dude.
Goes to figure we can't even smoke a joint around here without it being slightly worse an experience than it should be.
( Steve has truly not spared much thought to the fact he has quite a bit of outfit variety. mostly because he's so annoyed by having to wear his scoops suit, period. it's true, Quentin does only have the one look. and it's endearing how excited he is about the worlds most ridiculous sweater. )
Okay, okay. Clearly I don't appreciate it as much as I should. You can have it.
