hey, i'm not gonna argue. i like a living sister way better than a ghost. but i think she feels like the truth is worth dying for.

[chooselies]

Well, she's not the one who had to live with the consequences, is she?

[adaptiveimmunities]

if you think i would ever try to take her choices away from her, you don't know me at all.

[chooselies]

[God, he's defensive.]

Not what I'm implying at all. I'm just saying you got a bum deal.

[adaptiveimmunities]

[Grumpy and mistrustful, you mean.]

well, sure. don't think i'd change anything, though.

[chooselies]

Not a single thing? Really?

[adaptiveimmunities]

why do you even care?

[chooselies]

You're my brother. Of course I care. I worry about you.

[adaptiveimmunities]

don't you have a brother on your side of things?

[chooselies]

Don't you already have a sister in your head?

[adaptiveimmunities]

[He pauses a moment and it takes him a second to respond.]

I guess George was right. You guys do pay attention. Don't you have anything better to do?

[chooselies]

[Not really, no.]

You can't blame me for being worried. Have you considered talking to the therapist here?

[adaptiveimmunities]

My standard answer for that question is "go fuck yourself." I think I'm gonna stick with it.

[chooselies]

[Wow he seems pissed.]

That doesn't sound like an answer from someone who wouldn't change anything.

[adaptiveimmunities]

Jesus you're pushy. Okay, fine. I wish things weren't the way they are, but I can't think of a single step in the process I'd change, given the information we had at the time, are you happy?

[chooselies]

Are you really surprised? I am still your sister. Whatever else you think of me.

[adaptiveimmunities]

[He could--and wants to--argue that point, but it won't get him anywhere. Just another pointless argument about how crazy he is. So he changes the subject.]

You seem to know a lot about me. I don't know much at all about you.

[chooselies]

I'm still Georgia, Shaun. No one knows me better than you.

[Not really true, all things considered, but gosh is it fun to fuck with his head. She just can't stop herself.]

[adaptiveimmunities]

you don't think i can smell bullshit when i hear it? maybe you don't know me that well. george.

[chooselies]

[Fine, if he's gonna play it that way.]

Well, the first thing you should know is that I don't like being called George. It's not my name.

[adaptiveimmunities]

really. i had no idea.

[chooselies]

You say you want to know more about me, then act like this? Come on, Shaun, work with me.

[adaptiveimmunities]

fine. sorry. georgia.

[chooselies]

Thank you, was that so hard?

[She probably shouldn't push him too much. He does, after all, have a temper, and being his sister will only help so much when she's not really his sister. It could also make things worse.]

Besides the name, we aren't that different. We're both Newsies. We both want to tell the truth.

[She's just a little more creative in what she considers true.]

[adaptiveimmunities]

once again--smells like bullshit to me.

it's really annoying not being able to see you.

[Shaun might be shit at emotions with most people, but George is an open book to him. He can only assume her mirror would be the same.]
