Who: EVERYONE!
When: Day 19, Late Afternoon
Where: All the Apartments. All of them.
What: Becca's bringing around flower arrangements!

[Please put your apartment letter in the subject line and reply to that thread if someone's already answered the door for your apartment. Thanks!]

[Becca's making trips to all the apartments. Since people are in and out of the shrine room, she knocks on one of the bedroom doors in apartment A. Otherwise, she knocks on the hallway door of every apartment. Even apartment E.]

Housekeeping! This'll be quick~!

[huff]

See? You're being mean to me. You expect stuff out of me you wouldn't expect out of a saint. And now you're laughing at me when I didn't even do anything! Just take the fucking flowers!

You think being abused gives you the right to expect the world to treat you like you're fragile? That being abused gives you some kind of right to say everyone is being mean to you when they have a different opinion? That being abused means that people have to treat you special? Because it really, really doesn't.

The difference between me and you is that I haven't let my childhood define me.

The next time you tell someone that they have no idea what it's like to be abused, try to remember that maybe being abused isn't such a very unique thing after all~

So no, I'm not going to take the fucking flowers. Sorry! Maybe you should find someone who knows what it's like to be abused, ne? They'll probably be more understanding than me!

If you're saying it happened to you, too, then come out and say it. Otherwise quit being mean. I'm nice to everybody until they hurt me, and then I'm only mean if they give me a reason to be.

If your friend hurt me, then I'm gonna say they hurt me. And if you call that being mean about them, then you're really entitled. I'm not here to be knocked around by you guys!

So being abused would give me the right to be 'mean'? To be a self-centered, entitled brat like you? My friend has never hurt you. You try to use my friend's actions as an excuse for your own. It's kind of pathetic!

If it's really so important, I grew up in a cage. I was kept in chains. I was emotionally neglected and verbally abused. I was whipped on a regular basis. I was shot on a regular basis. I was considered a weapon and a pet, not a person.

I don't bother telling people since I don't expect anyone to care! And I don't want people to treat me differently just because they pity me.

Stop using whatever happened to you as an excuse to whine and manipulate people.

[That gives her pause. She takes a deep breath, and speaks a little more calmly.]

It wouldn't give you a right to be mean. Which friend are you talking about? I can tell you my side of what happened a little more easily if I know who you're talking about. Maybe we can talk it out.

I don't care about your side of things. If someone disagrees with you, or they say something you don't like, you think it's mean.

I'm not going to take your stupid flowers, so come back later when someone who actually wants to help you will answer the door.

So at least I know it's not the girl who hit me, since you keep coming back to things being 'said'. But if you're not gonna talk it out, why are you mad? I'm being reasonable here.

Because I don't like you.

I've been nothing but nice to you. That's not fair!

You let your past define you. You use it as an excuse.

And you spoke badly of my friend.

So I don't like you. Sorry!

What do you want from me, then? To let your friend abuse me?

You really need to rethink your definition if you think people disliking you and not being afraid to show it counts as 'abuse'.

[At this point, A-T has come to stand by Akito, giving Becca as much a look of disdain as a Flareon can manage.]

The only think I want from you right now is to leave me alone.

No, I count getting hit across the face abuse. I count people being constantly nasty to me when I didn't do anything to them as unfair. And if you think that's fair then you need to rethink your stance on life.

[She sighs and kneels down to say hello to A-T.]

At least you're nice to me. You know you're a beautiful girl.

You're probably the last person in this place I would ever take any suggestions from.

[He seems amused, and when A-T spits a small flame at the flowers in response, Akito does his very best not to burst out laughing again.]

Don't act as though she's yours. The only one who gets to baby her is me.

[Becca narrows her eyes and reaches over A-T, setting the flowers inside the doorway, flames and all. Then she pulls her hand back quick, hoping she won't get burned for it.]

I never thought she was mine. I thought she was friendly.

[Pointedly past tense.]

But if you're so busy being a self-righteous asshole who thinks his friends can do no wrong cause they're his friends, that says a lot more about you than it does about me.

She's allergic to some of the flowers here. [Total bullshit, but he figures he may as well vaguely attempt to keep up the image of A-T being friendly.]

Ah, but that's the difference between me and you, ne? I don't care if you think I'm a self-righteous asshole.

I don't get it, though. Why is everything I do bad and nothing your friends do bad? They're mean to me and it's okay, and when I get tired of it and get mean back, that's bad. How is that fair?

I never said everything you do is bad. But my friend - singular! - did nothing to you. You just don't like her. You think she's mean because she doesn't like you. That's a little bit hypocritical, ne?

Now move please, because I want to go do something that isn't talking to you.

You're talking about Aella, aren't you? She's mean to me! She calls me names and says nasty things to me! That's not just 'not liking someone', that's outright picking on me!

I don't blame her for calling you names.

I get called names and nasty things by others but I don't care. She doesn't like you. You don't like her. What does it matter what she says?

Stop giving a shit about her if you think she's so mean. If you think she's so awful, then she shouldn't be worth all the time you spend whining about her.

Now move out of my way so I can go out and stop wasting my time.

It's picking on me and it's not fair. I'll stop saying she's mean when she stops picking on me. I didn't do anything to her and she picks on me every time she has a chance.

[LOL Becca you have no idea how many times Aella has chosen to leave you alone.]

If she's your friend, then tell her to leave me alone and stop picking on me. Then I'll stop telling people she's mean.

[He laughs.] If she picked on you every time she had a chance, you would be in tears all of the time. She only wastes her time with you when you force yourself on other people - like you are now - and make everything about you you you.

You're not worth her time, so she's not going out of her way to pick on you. Stop thinking so highly of yourself.

Now move.

I'm not moving till we talk this out. You're saying it's okay for her to pick on me cause she's your friend, but it's not okay for me to be upset about it and that's not fair.

I just don't want her to pick on me, and if she'd stop, I'd ignore her too.

I'm not saying it's "okay" for anyone to pick on anyone! I'm saying it's stupid for you to get upset over everything! You'd probably think the wind was picking on you if it blew your hair out of place.

Now move, before I have her set your pants on fire you stupid, self-centered dumbass! I have enough to deal with without you whining to me about how shitty everyone treats you as though I'm supposed to care!
