[19centconstable]

[So, so tempted to say I believe in Batman.] I believe in people.

What makes you ask?

[19centconstable]

All of them?

Some of the responses to Mr. Prefect last week, honestly.

[batmanschmatman]

Not all of them, but sure, most of them.

So, what do you believe in?

[19centconstable]

That's wonderful.

Jesus. Sort of an old'un, but a good'un, if you will.

[thefuckening]

I've never seen it look so... happy. [DISTURBED.]

[19centconstable]

Really? All I did was pay a bit of attention to it.

[thefuckening]

You'll spoil it! Now it'll whine at me when I don't give it as much attention as you. [ALSO... he might be jealous that his book likes George better.]

[19centconstable]

Oh no: just be kind, but firm with it.

This can vary with factors such as age, diet and ethnicity.

Hmmm. Well I suppose that is helpful. Thank you.

[darknessb4me]

Myself.

[In the same breath:] How has someone not killed you yet?

[19centconstable]

I suppose because I always try to do right by others.

Believing in one's self is very positive.
