Texas encouraged it, and Delta even likes the idea. What's wrong with wanting to take off the training wheels and learn some things on my own?

[baruthumos]

Because you haven't even made it to training wheels! How are you going to pay for it? Because if it's anywhere remotely safe, you can't afford it.

[ambitious_muse]

I'm working two jobs. School is paid for, so my stipend can easily go to housing and food. I also have some of the money I've been earning at work for Louisiana. Texas is going to help if I need it. I have plenty of options and plenty of income.

[baruthumos]

So she's subsidizing you playing house? Is she cosigning as well? How far does her footing the bill for you playing house go?

And does it extend to other things? Is she going to come change lightbulbs for you? Because I have never seen you change one in my life.

[ambitious_muse]

Yes, she's cosigning. I don't have good enough credit because I've never done something like this before. Getting an apartment will help that, too.

I know how to change lightbulbs, Omega. Epsilon certainly doesn't do it all the time.

Look, I'm sorry I haven't been around to help lately, but that doesn't mean I'm incompetent. There are things I'm trying to figure out. This will help. It's a step I've been wanting to take for a long time, and when Texas suggested it, of course I leapt at the opportunity.

[baruthumos]

All you're going to figure out is that you're an idiot who can't function as an adult without someone constantly pulling you away from the nearest shiny object!

[ambitious_muse]

Look. I'm sorry we didn't have Beta back when you wanted to be in college. I'm sorry you didn't have this opportunity. But get real, Omega. She's given you plenty. Why are you so jealous and butthurt that she's willing to do something for me?

[baruthumos]

This has nothing to do with me and everything to do with your inability to function as a productive member of society. Your unwillingness to sacrifice the smallest thing. Whatever you want to call how I can't trust you to take care of yourself.

[ambitious_muse]

You don't know anything, do you? How degrading it is to be offered a job by a friend who can't stand to see my family's poverty? How hard I had to work to get where I am, and how hard I work to stay there? I'm at the top of my university class for a reason, and guess what? It got me a job and a career path! And I did that all by myself!

Don't you dare tell me that I don't know how to work. You don't have a clue, and you certainly don't have any accomplishments worth lording over me, O Terrible Omega.

[baruthumos]

If you can't even comprehend what I've been doing while you were locked up in that shiny ivory tower of yours, you don't know anything.

You keep working in there and let me take care of the stuff you apparently don't realize exists!

[ambitious_muse]

I'm not saying that you don't work. I'm saying that you have no right to tell me that I don't work. See how you're accusing me of the same thing you think I accused of? That's your guilt talking.

[baruthumos]

I didn't say you don't work. I said you're not a productive member of society. You do nothing that doesn't benefit yourself! And since you leave so much for someone else to take care of, someone who's not occupied with your very important and relevant swim lessons, you don't even know what you need to do anymore!

See how you act like I said something entirely different? That's because you know I'm right!

[ambitious_muse]

I'm done. I'm not going to turn this into a shouting match of who said what because, frankly, it's not worth it to me. This is happening whether you like it or not. And I'm not going to ruin a night out with Louisiana because you can't stand the fact that I'm getting my own place.

Good night.

[baruthumos]

I can't wait to find out what other things aren't worth it to you. How long do you think Beta's going to tolerate your antics?

[ambitious_muse]

Sorry if I find my friends more important than a pointless argument.

Oh wait. I'm not sorry.

[baruthumos]

You will be.
