[ She decides that she likes being called "babe". ]

I guess! We don't have these fancy things where I'm from. [ She gestures at the television. ] Which would make this the future? I thought it was pretty neat until...

[ flashbacks to tamaki dying ]

[ don't worry eleanor has lots of objectifying nicknames at the ready ]

Yeah, well, the future is great until you realize everything sucks because of capitalism and murder. So it's a bit of a trade-off, I guess.

[ handing yuel a nice alcohol drink ]

[ idk what eleanor gave her but yuel is tossing it back in one gulp

shots shots shots ]

So what yer sayin'... is that where I'm from is as good as it gets and I should appreciate it?

[ eleanor gave her a 7 & 7, its pretty good shit ]

I dunno man, there's bad shit everywhere. Past, future..... I guess just get whatever you can out of life. That's how I do it.

[fluffier]

Ain't that kinda depressin'? Thinkin' of the world as mostly bad?

[messybench]

It's true, though. And if you keep your expectations low and look out for yourself you can't be disappointed.

[ Eleanor really bringing the vibe down.

In any case, it's depressing enough that Yuel shakes out if her own slump. ]

That ain't, right? Things are always supposed to work out fer the best if yer a good person.

[messybench]

[ sorry she's such a downer. ]

You'd think it'd work that way, no. Good people get shit on all the time. Even if they're so good they're total buzzkills.

That's why you deal with what you've got and try to make it fun.

[ She looks at her for a moment, as if trying to parse whether Eleanor is being sarcastic. ]

Ya sound like yer bein' pessimistic, but makin' the best of what ya got is a pretty good attitude, ain' it?

[messybench]

[ nah she's sincere ]

That's just living, babe. So, past, future, present, whatever -- it all kinda sucks, so just do whatever you want.

[ so wise ]

[fluffier]

[ okay, she didn't interpret it quite right. ]

How about: things're tough, but ya should appreciate the good stuff?

[messybench]

Yeah, sure. Put it on a t-shirt and let's split the profits.

[fluffier]

Yer not buyin' it, are ya?

[messybench]

I mean, you're not wrong. I'm just not the sappy type. But hey, take advantage of all the future has to offer while you're here.
