anyone else missing a bunch of socks

I got a black one here someone might be wanting back

[for uh

reasons]

there a weird fucking gremlin thing that goes around taking socks in any myths? this is fucking ridiculous

[Maverick wins that round.]

Okay still not sold on the sock or shoe comfort thing but I'm listening. Hypothetically, if some were thrown out, do you think that would hold up or would that be a big no because that feels like a no but apparently bare feet is worse to you.

[deuteranope]

not saying bare feet is worse it's all fucking situational

like you go walking on some fucking mud, you want shoes > barefoot > socks only
ain't doing shit, then socks vs barefoot depends on temp
petting a cat with your feet on a you obviously fucking want bare feet

but let's say for walking in the mud your shoes are heels or busted to fuck full of holes? then barefoot is the way to go

[unpocoloco]

You had me right until the cat petting. There is one cat who is somewhat occasionally regular in my life and if I give that cat my foot I am never

ever

getting it back.


I'm taking this to mean the purely hypothetical discovery of thrown out slippers is a-okay then. I'm doubtful, but I'll give this slipper thing a shot.

[deuteranope]

well you can't pet every cat with your feet also your feet probably fucking suck so can you blame her

[He's gonna bring Pepita some treats later to try and bribe her into attacking Héctor's feet.]

regular slippers pretty much always gonna be better than trash slippers just as an aside

[unpocoloco]

My feet don't

[Well. They kinda do. He's had problems for years.]

Actually, leave my feet out of this. That cat is literally out to get me, regardless of that.

But anyway. That's a nice aside but it's an aside because it's highly unlikely I'm going to be hitting the town with cash to spare like those teenage movie montages set to a cheery bop. I'm sure I'll find something at least half decent.

[deuteranope]

that cat knows what's up

no wonder you look like such shit all the time

pathetic to settle for half-assing some shit you know, you gotta use your whole fucking ass, just an entire ass

[unpocoloco]

That cat doesn't know anything. She used to think I was her best pal. She's a terror is what she is.

And there's nothing wrong with how I look. I wear the uniform like everyone else. I even get the holes patched properly.[Because holes are what happen when you're attacked and you only have two sets of clothing.]

I put my money to things that matter. A shoe's just gonna wear through in like... a year, couple months maybe. You can't go all out for everything all the time so I'm prioritizing.

[deuteranope]

I'm telling her you said that

[Gets his holes patched up... Better than Maverick, really, who just let his clothes fall apart until Ramona somehow found out his uniform needed repairs and made him bring it home.]

DUDE WHAT SHITTY SHOES YOU BUYING THAT FALL APART IN MONTHS I'VE HAD MINE LIKE FOUR YEARS

[they're beat to hell, but still!!!]

[unpocoloco]

Good. Tell her she's a traitor and that her talons need a filing and that I'm never doing that thing she likes again. She'll know what THAT means.

Didn't you know? The outlands are just full of shopping centers! Just twelve pesos and you too can be used as a toothpick by some ungodly creature.

I haven't bought shoes in over a decade, chamaco, I don't remember where the heck I shopped, but I'll tell you one thing. Four years? Definitely a lie. You're yanking my chain. Or your Mamá's been replacing them without telling you.

[deuteranope]

tell her that yourself so I can record you and laugh

[IT SOUNDS SO WEIRD HÉCTOR WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT IN PUBLIC]

thought that service was free you're some fucking idiot if you thought you had to pay

Mama isn't the quietly replace things type

now I ain't saying they don't look like shit and aren't worn down in places and haven't gotten some fixes but for real I've had a lot of the same shit since I was like 14

[unpocoloco]

Oh no. I'm not getting myself mauled today, thank you.

[And if he details The Thing then Maverick will do it and that defeats the whole point.]

And speaking of mauling, that was obviously sarcasm.

So what, you don't grow or something? Never walk anywhere or do anything? Where the heck are YOU buying things?

[deuteranope]

[He doesn't want to discuss doing The Thing to a cat, stop saying it so weird!!!

And...maybe...he doesn't grow...shut up]

you just wanna jack my style because I'm hot shit huh

[unpocoloco]

JAJA! Ay, that's a good one, kid! Haven't laughed like that in a while. Jaja, oh no, Chamaco, I don't need style tips.

[deuteranope]

damn dude you dress that way on purpose

[unpocoloco]

You better not be talking about my jacket. Or the scarf. Sure the uniform isn't the coolest but there's nothing wrong with MY stuff.

[deuteranope]

some people fucking pull off hobo chic and then you exist too I guess

[unpocoloco]

Said the kid ushanka hat and the fingerless gloves. Don't you talk to me about hobo chic.

[They're just going to pass right over the fact he was actually homeless.]

[deuteranope]

[details...but there is a reason he didn't go for "dude you look homeless" outright.]

yeah I'm in the former category fucking obviously

[unpocoloco]

By who's vote? Certainly not mine.

If you say your Mamá's you automatically lose, for the record.

[deuteranope]

I'll have you know Mama is galmourous and perfect

[...and wishes he would buy some new clothes that weren't black and printed with blood patterns, but whatever.]

[unpocoloco]

That's cute. But it doesn't matter how stylish she is. You can't use her vote. Mamás are inherently biased.

[deuteranope]

it's not cute it's fact

and that isn't necessarily true sometimes moms are shitty you're just more familiar with shitty dads

but yeah Mama is best mom

[unpocoloco]

Fact doesn't make it less cute. Or sweet.

That may be so. But the way I see it a bad mother isn't it a Mamá.

[He'll have to disagree on that last point, but in this case he'll do so quietly. Coco's Mamá is the best.]

[deuteranope]

[Tía's pretty cool, but Ramona will always be the best forever.]

all depends on fucking labels and how you define em

anyway I guess we're admitting I'm cute super cute I pull off this look because otherwise I wouldn't be as fucking cute as I am which is apparently so fucking cute

[unpocoloco]

You ever see a little kid put on clothes that don't fit, wandering around, making a mess? That's cute. That's not pulling off a look.
