Attitude: Deal With It, Friday, Period 2
"Yo, Rookies! Today, we're gonna talk about a topic that's near an' dear to my heart, yo. We're gonna talk about rules." See, that wasn't so bad, was it? "And breakin' 'em."
Ah.
"The thing about honin' your attitude is that you gotta figure out just when the rules you're lookin' at are friggin' ridiculous, yo. Do this? Don't do that? Okay, that's cool. But what harm is there in chewin' bubblegum in the classroom? An' why the hell should anyone care if you're sittin' around in the mall for a few hours doin' nothin', just so long as you ain't hurtin' nobody? An' why you gotta have short, naturally-colored hair to get a job out there? Who the hell are those tattoos an' piercings even hurtin', anyhow?"
Yeah, Reno was totally the type to loiter, with his long hair and pierced ears and tattooed face. But he usually did so while well-armed, and nobody generally bothered him as a result.
"Today, we're gonna talk about different rules you've seen around that just don't make no friggin' sense to you, and you're gonna tell me how you think doin' those things ain't hurtin' nobody, and just how you plan on goin' about breakin' it. An' if anybody sees a reason why the rule you wanna break is valid, they're gonna go right ahead and tell you why, yo. This class is about separatin' the rules from the guidelines, but if someone's gonna legitimately get hurt over this shit, I ain't havin' none of that, yo."
Reno was a real sweetheart when he wanted to be. So there.

Re: Discuss!
How Reno managed to say that in a purr and still not make it creepy was anybody's best guess.
Re: Discuss!
Rufus looked bored. "If only so I don't repeat myself," he drawled.
Re: Discuss!
Even better if it was a tiny version of his former boss.
"I dunno, I think maybe I like leavin' you wonderin', yo."
Re: Discuss!
Rufus trusted himself. He presumed that he'd gotten what he wanted, in another timeline.
Re: Discuss!
Sorry, Rufus. Reno wasn't about to give you anything for free.
Maybe a pat on the head or something, at some point. Sure, he might lose his hand for it, but it'd be worth it.
Re: Discuss!
"You opened the floor to questions," he said, expression unchanged.
Reno hadn't even implied there was a deal to be found here. Rufus figured he was just jerking him around because he couldn't yank the chain of his actual boss.
Which, while irritating, was hardly unexpected.
"It's not as if I need you."
Re: Discuss!
Reno shrugged. Rufus was welcome to make any assumption he liked. Maybe he'd mail the much older 'former boss' version of him something nice from Dite's just because he figured it was funny.
He could absolutely yank the chain of his actual boss. Or, well, he could if he had one.
Re: Discuss!
He just had people killed. Much more efficient.
Re: Discuss!
Could be a fun game, actually.
"Nah, I know that, too. Acceptable collateral damage is all that is if you do."
Re: Discuss!
"There's more interesting things to break than hearts," Rufus said, smiling faintly.
Re: Discuss!
"You don't even know the half of it yet."
And then he shrugged, grabbed a stick of gum, and popped it into his mouth.
Re: Discuss!
He'd find out for himself and make it work.
That interested Rufus more than this conversation did, in any case.
