Week 15: fate, chance, destiny

[stareanddrive]

Fate's for pussies. You think I'mma let some old White dude in a big hooded robe with some book tell me what my life's gonna be? Fuck that. I don't let nobody stare me down, and I don't let nobody tell me what I'm gonna be. *My* choices.

Hell with that shit, dog. I don't back down for nobody. What I do's on me.

Comments

[redhandedrobin]

*laughs* I like that.

Whatcha think of chance, though, huh, if you don't believe in Fate or destiny.

[stareanddrive]

Man, I play poker. I believe in chance.

[redhandedrobin]

*chuckles* I love poker- prefer Hold'em myself. Every try blackjack?

[stareanddrive]

Yeah. Like poker better.

[redhandedrobin]

Blackjack the house wins. No chance 'bout it.

Poker, you play against the cards.

[stareanddrive]

There's a reason I like poker better... gimme at least the chance I can pretend to win, y'know?

[redhandedrobin]

Uh-huh. Hold-em's the best for the chance, I think. You like pool?

[stareanddrive]

I am the *king* of pool. What you talking about, 'like' pool?

[redhandedrobin]

*chuckles* King, huh? Well. I play a mean game, good enough to rustle up some cash if the crowd don't know me.

[stareanddrive]

Little man, you challenging me? *wide, bright grin*

[redhandedrobin]

....Little? *eyebrows go up as he looks Rome up and down* Little.

[stareanddrive]

Hey, you shorter than me, and you younger, too. Yeah, little man, I'm calling you little.

[redhandedrobin]

By what, like'n inch? *glares* Should I be callin' you 'old man' then? *smirk, eyes twinkling through the bit of temper* I can getcha a nice cane.

[stareanddrive]

Yeah, yeah, now get your ass offa my lawn.

[redhandedrobin]

*laughs* You don't want me to try'n TP the place, do ya? Think you could catch me? *Teasing*

[stareanddrive]

You TP my garage, you gonna be lucky if all I do is catch you.

[redhandedrobin]

I would never TP a garage, man. That's a cardinal sin and I don't got good enough relations to go confess.

I'd just TP your house. That's way less a sin.

[stareanddrive]

Least you got your priorities right. Little man.

[redhandedrobin]

*raises an eyebrow* What's it gonna take for you to not call me 'little man'?

Of course I do. That's like I'd trash your living room, not your kitchen. Break your TV, not your windshield. I do have manners.

[stareanddrive]

Haven't decided that yet.

Brought up right, were you?

[redhandedrobin]

Let me know when ya do?

*Snorts* They tried real hard, and sometimes I try to make 'em proud.

[old_csat]

*blinks* Fate wears a robe? No wonder he's had such a hard time running after me! *snickers*

[mechanical_dream]

*sighs* Beloved, the only person who's run after you wearing a robe was that priest on Kratch, and he was trying to cast you out as a demon, remember?

That being said, he didn't catch you either.

[old_csat]

Heh! Yeah, I remember that! *grins* He had knobbly knees.

[stareanddrive]

I never seen Fate, but all the pictures say so. Since I don't plan on meeting him...

[jawburn_steel]

*grins fiercely, nodding* Exactly! *laughs* You have the right of it, laughing man!

*smiles* Our choices are everything, yes indeed.

[stareanddrive]

If you can't choose, there ain't no point in much of anything.

[toretto_two]

And when your life goes in the toilet because of people around you making choices?

That's chance. Bad fucking chance.

[stareanddrive]

Hey. I didn't say shit didn't happen we didn't choose.

... I'm sorry about what went down in L.A.

[toretto_two]

Not your fault. My own, in some ways, for not trying harder to make Dom see his way was not right.

[stareanddrive]

Way I hear Brian talk about your brother, he wouldn't have listened anyway. Crazy as Brian.

[toretto_two]

Yeah.

Stubborn as him too.

[stareanddrive]

Now I'm glad I doubt I'll meet him. Ain't nobody needs two that bad.
