Our avatars are in a room together

"And...you're scared. Just like everyone else..."

He's more of a hobbyist of science.

I think he's unemployed, honestly...

But- no.

Just a vigilante.

spinach don't smell good to her

"Spinach. In bread. That's revolting."

-Jaco-

"It's Ramona."

-...He starts laughing at her name-

...It's just — something I haven't seen before.

"Yeah...everyone says that, too."

Kitchen

(@Ramona) (sighs) Okay... (places the spinach puffs in the kitchen fridge) What kind of snacks do you like? (the accursed smell is gone, at least until someone is dumb enough to open the fridge)

(@Jaco) Okay. Wouldn't want your, uh, germs, to spread to us, right?

(@August) I see. How, um, many criminals has he stopped?

I'm — sorry.

He relaxes fully, in fact, his posture hunches.

"...Right. That's it."

"-Sigh- Just...I'm not gonna hurt you, not gonna eat the planet, not a threat."

I shouldn't've reacted the way I did.

Oh, I don't keep up- and I never bothered to ask.

Though... sadly, a criminal got to him first.

Dreadful thing- murder.

The worst of us, taking the best of us away...

It's like an asylum in reverse, except this is permanent.

"It's alright...used to it."

-She goes back into her room and shuts the door-

-Winda-

"I'd rather eat in my own time, thank you very much."

-Jaco-

"... W-what's so funny? -red-"

"Haha, it's so...so dumb...!"

Hey!

He steps forward in an attempt to stop the door before it shuts. Failing that, he knocks on the door.

I — I don't want you to be used to it.

-The door's shut and locked-

"I've had trillions of years, I'm used to it."

You shouldn't have to be. It's not right.

His voice has taken on an urgent tone.

Kitchen

(@August) Sorry, um, to hear that. My, uh, condolences.

(@Ramona and Jaco) Alright... See, um, you guys later. (heads outside to sell these pastries)

"That's just...how it is."

Something being the way it's always been doesn't make it right.

He said without missing a beat.

Mm...

-to Jaco-

So, you're some kind of alien with a superiority complex, are you?

A "Galactic Patrol" as such?

"People learn what I am, they panic, they get scared, and eventually I leave. That's usually how it goes...not that I even know what I am."

"That's exactly ri-heeeeeey. Who's got a superiority complex?"

He goes silent for a little bit, then:

Oh my God.

"...What?"

Nothing. I didn't say anything.

He said that too quickly.
