Fourth Wall Post
OOC: This is a Fourth Wall post, meaning you can see this, but your characters CANNOT. These are Piper's thinky-brain thoughts that he is thinking in his head with his brain. Since none of the Rogues are telepathic, there ain't nobody here but us gods ^_^
Why do I hang out with these people? It's not like I actually get along with most of them. Mick, that's really about it, and I think I'm the only one who actually likes JJ. It won't stop me from trying to get on with the others but sometimes I feel like I'm beating a dead horse. It's not like I'm not getting on well enough pulling jobs by myself. And honestly, it's a lot more fun. Having back-up is good, but really, is it worth the price? Of having these guys constantly taking pot-shots at me, of having to watch my back against those who are supposedly watching my back? Boomer's right about one thing - you can't trust any of them (including Boomer...)
And of course I'm the only one who's stupid enough to trust James and I know better. But lately he's been dropping hints that he's guessed some stuff and that's a good thing. Am I the only one who understands that? Sometimes I think I'm the only one who really 'gets' James.
Boomer's been super-paranoid ever since he got back from... I dunno, wherever it was he disappeared to, I guess. I know he wants to reconnect with Owen and I know he's scared to. He's probably afraid that Owen'll hold adopting him out against him, but I think deep down he's afraid that he'll mess the kid up. Considering how well Owen's turned out, I can't say as I'd blame him if that's the case.
Ever since I helped Boomer out when he came down with the Rogue Flu, he's been calling me Mum. The others are freaked right out by it, which is kind of funny. Don't they know that Digger really respected his mom? I don't think they 'get' Digger, either.
Goldie's back and being... well, Goldie. Nuff said there. Given she can be such a cocktease sometimes, I've often wondered if she's miffed because I've never caught any of her pitches -- like any sane person would, with Captain Cold and Top hovering over her threatening anybody who durst sneeze in her zhenerall dye-rection. As if I don't have enough problems with Top as it is. She's poking me again, trying to get me to fold, so I told her my main-interest had died, to get her to back off. No lie, though. Marnie died of a heroin overdose and Carlotta died of stomach cancer last year, after those jackass sexist "doctors" kept dismissing her pain as 'indigestion' and pumping her full of antacids instead of thinking hey she's screaming a little loudly for an ulcer, maybe we should dig a little. Sexism and stereotypes, thank you very much. So Goldie can take her pick as to which one of my 'hags' I meant. I never talked about James Carrick, never even mentioned him, and none of the Rogues ever met him. But I think of him every time I pass that little strip mall on Twelfth and Kensington, that he designed.
OOC NOTE, Katze says: I am absolutely loving the character interactions that have been happening with Piper and the other characters. I'd already stated that I'd be coming into his life when he was starting to drift from the Rogues, and the inter-character tensions are absolutely brilliant and help that along. So I just want to make a statement that I feel is important, because I've seen it rip apart RPs before: If my character does not like your character, it does NOT mean that *I* don't like your character, or that I don't like you. This is a major hazard of method acting (which is essentially what we're doing in RP) Just thought I'd get that out there right off the bat.
