Our avatars are in a room together

-He holds up the book, pointing ANGRILY at it-

You wanna know what's in this book, Son? I will tell you what's in this book: a how-to guide on how to dump a bucket of pig's blood on Lady Liberty on prom night! And you don't want to do that, kiddo, because Lady Liberty has psychic powers, and she will burn down the whole gymnasium with you inside it!

-He callously tosses the book over his shoulder-

That is beside the point, anyway! You have still not told me your tragic story!

OOPS

"I dunno. You got any ideas?"

...You really wanna know.

(seems not eager at all but fully prepared)

Yes, I really want to know!

Too many. But I want to know what you'd find fun.

...I'm a Nobody. Or at least I was. Didn't have a heart.

(waits to see his reaction before continuing)

"... -thinks for a bit- ... I read a lot. But reading together's not as interesting as it sounds. ... I also like to... play around with my magic a bit. I can do that now, and I don't get in trouble if I'm alone. -smiles about that-"

Everyone's a somebody, Son. Stalin may have taken your food, but you will not let him take your self-esteem, too!

Not Stalin, whoever that is. Organization XIII. They used me as a pawn for almost a year, then I ran away...tried to come back at them, but it failed and I was stuck in a dream for a while...then I died, came back to life, beat them up for real and now I'm here.

Hmm...I see, revenge on the death squad who trained you. Good work, soldier! You've done America proud.

But that does not explain your current dead-inside attitude!

PTSD is a thing. But mostly its frustration at your incessant questioning.

You can't just string random letters together and call that an excuse, Son!

...Aha! I know, it's a girl in your life, isn't it!?

-Reigen tries to avoid stepping in random garbage-

How do you live like this?.....

I have no idea how you had enough social smarts to know I had a girlfriend, but I suspect a lucky guess.

Your boyfriend went and put me out of a damn good job after he decapitated my boss, yo. -Buttons his pants- So why should I give a damn what happens to him? You're wastin' your time.

Ahhh, Son, heartbreak's hard on us all.

But do not worry, for there are hundreds of girls your age in the world! Even thousands! And if you can't find a pick of one, there's one lady who'll never let you down, a lady known as Liberty.

Aren't you an associate of his? Or an associate of associates?

We're... acquainted. I broke his nose, he broke my leg, I killed some of his friends, he killed some of mine... we've got a truce. If you ask me, it's about time someone took him down a peg. And I'm gonna be the one to do it, if they go the whole oldschool firing squad route.

Man, who am I kidding, they're not gonna invite me. -Sniggers-

...We're still together.

(Audrey is watching creepy mask lady from behind a chair.)

"...! Ah, hello there!"

You haven't broken up?

Then what in the world could you possibly be so depressed about!

Bad job market?

I keep telling you. Frustration about you and your annoying nature.

Eek!

(shoots up)

Uh, hi!

-Heads back inside for more water-

-Spends a minute blocking the door trying to convince Elmyra not to come inside with him-

Among other shit. So we stopped a pandemic together. That don't make us friends.

"Excuse but, ah- I'm looking for a lost child, red hair, green eyes. I believe her name is... Ramona?"
