intro | day 104

[tacosgay]

Listen.

[The voice that comes over the public channel is... odd, and new to most folks here. He pauses for a bit, as if that's the entire thought-- but, sure enough, he follows it with an obviously annoyed question.]

So we're just kind of... here, because they say so? Like... this can't be legal, can it? Has anybody tried talking to the fuckin' police about this?

[As he speaks, he gets increasingly irritated, his voice breaking.]

I'm gonna be real with you guys: I've got half a mind to just kinda magic my way out, except I'm pretty sure the Ringleader or whatever would come after me. Is that a thing?

[tacosgay]

... so, hold on a second here, you guys fuckin' play pool? Huh, go figure. Guess you might not be that boring after all.

[kingsroads]

You think I'm boring? [ but he's more amused than offended. ] I can think of many things people have called me, but none of them were boring!

[tacosgay]

Well, I meant more, like... your universe or whatever, you know? You seem pretty chill so far, actually.

[kingsroads]

Again, that's a first. I suppose I must have somehow learned to make a good impression during my stay here!

[tacosgay]

Hey, I haven't met you in person yet, so who knows. Maybe we'll meet up and you'll be a total dickbag in reality.

[kingsroads]

I'm a madman, not a 'dickbag.' [ this is literally the first time he's ever said the word 'dickbag'. ] I'm certain we'll get along fine.

[tacosgay]

Yeah, that sounds real promising.

[Annnd he's being a smartass again.]
