[It's a little hard to respect the authority of the guy you saw screaming at a drawer full of sentient silverware, but hey, he's working with what he's got.]

Oh.

[Cop mode: DISENGAGE]

They'd go back to being dead wouldn't they? Hm. Guess most people don't want that.

[itsnotaonesie]

[that comment doesn't really make peter feel any less uncomfortable DUDE. In fact he actually takes a few seconds to respond because like howwww do you respond to that??]

Y-yeah, it's... not really an ideal situation to jump back into.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Some people are better off dead.

[you know, like him.]

And some people should be.

[itsnotaonesie]

Jesus, dude.

[He hadn't been expecting quite that level of just. Super depressing gloomy death shit? It actually kind of really threw off Peter's groove, not that he was really in a mood to groove in the first place. He has no idea what to say to that, he's just kind of watching Pratt and waiting for some kind of explanation.]

[theweakhavepurpose]

[It's true and he's standing by his statement. Though he does realize that this has gone from a fun conversation about Swedish goats straight into some super heavy shit that Peter 100% did not ask for.

He runs his hand down his face.]

Don't listen to me. I don't know what I'm talking about.

[And Pratt and his shovel are getting up to leave now because he ruins everything he gets near.]

[itsnotaonesie]

[He doesn't try to stop Pratt from leaving, He also doesn't manage to stop himself from commenting, though.]

...People don't say things like that unless they do know what they're talking about.

[Just sayin'. He doesn't press the subject beyond that, assuming it's a subject that the Deputy probably isn't too eager to discuss.]

[theweakhavepurpose]

[He pauses with his back to Peter.]

Maybe I do.

But it doesn't matter here. Nothing much does.

[He takes a deep breath and closes his eyes, mental berating himself for being such a morose fucking asshole.]

I'm like a walking bubble of depression infecting everyone I meet.

[itsnotaonesie]

[Peter's already over it, or at least he's pretending he is. Not gonna lie, he's kind of worrying about his good buddy normal-cop Deputy Pratt right now.]

That describes half the people I went to school with. You can sit back down, dude. I wasn't trying to chase you off.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Yeah well I'm twenty-six. Not some teenager writing bad poetry and listening to emo bands.

[Granted his depressive tendencies are due to being forced to skin people alive, feeding his friends human meat, and getting tortured rather than: pretty girl at school doesn't know I exist.]

I just need to ... stop.

[itsnotaonesie]

[Peter doesn't know about all that fun shit, so he's just sitting here thinking Pratt's having a bad emo day. Happens to the best of us, Deputy!!!!]

You're twenty-six? I totally thought you were older.

[NOT THE POINT PETER]

I-- sorry. Off topic. Do what you gotta, but like I said, I'm not trying to chase you off.

[theweakhavepurpose]

I'm probably going to go grey from stress and look fifty any day now, so thanks.

[He's lucky all his hair hasn't fallen out. He does sit back down though, so mission accomplished there.]

[itsnotaonesie]

[THAT COUNTS AS A WIN mostly.]

I. Meant from a. Y'know, maturity standpoint.

[Nah dude this is bullshit, peter totally thought pratt was in his like thirties]

[theweakhavepurpose]

[Someone thinks that Pratt is mature? Wow. Where did the world go wrong?]

I'm a cop. I'm supposed to be mature.

[Which is why he has never taken photos where he's holding a huge gun like it's his dick or anything like that. He totally has.]

[itsnotaonesie]

See? It's like I said.

...But I also feel like you're the kind of cop that would totally take a selfie with the ahhh... offensively worded anti-cop graffiti?

[He's not gonna say the "fuck cops" graffiti because he's CLASSY but it's that]

[theweakhavepurpose]

Oh man I would have fucking loved if someone had done that in Hope County. But nope. We don't get any grafiti. I just get shotguns leveled at me and screaming about constitutional rights.

Which don't work well in selfies.

[itsnotaonesie]

Wow, God, that's not cool.

I mean, you could make a selfie out of it, but I really don't recommend it.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Freedom fighting doomsday preppers don't really love it when cops show up on their doorstep to tell them they can't shoot at their neighbors for playing music too loud.

[itsnotaonesie]

Jesus. Montana doesn't screw around, does it? Gotta admit, that's a lot more intense than I was expecting.

[theweakhavepurpose]

It's a whole state of people who think laws don't apply to them. But really want them to apply to other people.

[itsnotaonesie]

I mean, I'm sure you can find people like that all over the country? Jeez though, are they really that bad?

[theweakhavepurpose]

Of course they're not all like that. But I don't get called out when things are going fine or people are getting along.

[itsnotaonesie]

I-- right, duh. I know that.

[And now Peter feels like a ding dong good job peter]

What's the weirdest call you've ever gotten? Or was that the naked yoga chicks?

[theweakhavepurpose]

Naked yoga was definitely the most bizarre call I got for piloting out of there.

Probably a custody battle over one of those mounted singing fish plaques. A couple was breaking up and they couldn't decide who got the stupid fish and started shooting at each other.

No one got the fish. Damn thing is in our evidence locker and I swear it still goes off sometimes and we've ripped out the batteries and pulled all the wires.

[itsnotaonesie]

Wait, one of those... those Billy Bass or whatever things? They were fighting over that?

I hope you're just messing with me because that's actually super creepy.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Yeah those things. And I am absolutely not making it up.

[Also true fact - same woman used those things rigged up to a lock in order to secure her bunker in New Dawn]

She's pretty obsessed with fishing.
