Right, so. Let me see if I understand everything here.

My life, my entire being was nothing more than someone's cooked up, crack pipe idea. That who I am and everything else about me wasn't real, but now I'm real. Like the damned puppet from that story. Could never really stand it, even as a kid.

Heh, great. Really that's just fucking great. I don't have to worry about anything more, right? That's supposed to be the beauty in having this 'clean slate' here, ain't it?

You know what, don't answer that. Just leave me the hell alone.

....I was joking.

[badnewsboy]

That joke ended only in disappointment.

[cloneororiginal]

Who are you exactly? [Because she thought she was speaking with an adult, but he's beginning to sound like a kid.]

[badnewsboy]

Exactly is up to the beholder who believes. Most people call me Loki, Captain of Cool.

[cloneororiginal]

Loki...[She kindda remembers the name, but not so much from where or when she's heard of it. The last few words do strike a chord with her. He's a kid, isn't he?]

Captain of Cool, heh? [She sounds skeptical and with others she'd continue to be sarcastic, but if he's a kid...he'll be treated differently.] And what exactly makes you 'cool'?

[badnewsboy]

It's loosely based transient terminology. Since I try not to be cool I am cool.

[cloneororiginal]

Essentially you're cool because you are. [Sure, it makes sense. She recalls being like that at one point in her life when she was in high school.]

Well Captain of Cool, anything else I should know about this place?

[badnewsboy]

There's far too much to tell, I'm sure I'd miss some of the major details, if I were to try to explain it away. There are basics, and sometimes things get crazy, and sometimes we party, oh! There are cameras everywhere, so do be careful. And people mysteriously disappear every month.

[cloneororiginal]

[Sarah makes sure to tuck that information away.]

People disappear every month? Why? [And the whole cameras thing...it's unsettling. Very unsettling.]

[badnewsboy]

No one's figured that out yet.

[cloneororiginal]

[Great, that makes her feel loads better, but she won't say anything about that.]

Well thanks for the info, Loki.

[badnewsboy]

Of course, at your service.
