Hey. Um, Luceti guys. I need to talk to all about something. I don't know exactly how to start off, but... You know what? I'll just get out with it.

What's the deal with kids around here? I don't want anything to do with 'em, but at the rate they wind up trying to "be my friend", I'll wind up with a gaggle of 'em following me everywhere in no time! I don't get it. I try being nice. I try being mean. Nothing works in keeping 'em away from me! I'm not fit to do that much babysitting. I'm a bad guy for crying out loud!

I mean... okay, I'm not bad most of the time, and there is one kid I'm kinda lookin' out for. But that's it! That's where I want it to stop. Just one kid! That's my limit. I don't need any more of a headache from the rest of these little gremlins running around when there's a village full of responsible adults and oddly enough teenagers who should be able to handle them much better than me. So what is it? What's the secret, to getting brats to stay away from me?

[He really could care less about the lack of a filter.

And okay maybe you find him browsing the item shop for familiar items from video games, or going to watch Vanellope race at the Battle Dome.]

Gotta be. Maybe only the reckless ones who make it through childhood are the ones who grow up to become adults.

[gonnawreckit]

If they're programmed to grow up, that is! Otherwise they're stuck as rotten cavity collectors forever.

[doubleppk]

What are you talking about? Of course they grow up. Just slowly. Or unless they time travel.

[gonnawreckit]

Or, you know, they're just programmed to stay at the same age. How're you supposed to maintain a video game if the characters actually age? Kinda lame if you ask me.

[doubleppk]

They're not all video game characters you know.

[gonnawreckit]

Yeah, sure. Whatever you wanna believe, lady.

[doubleppk]

You're really strange.

[gonnawreckit]

I definitely wouldn't call myself normal.

[doubleppk]

[She grins at his cute dopey expression in spite of herself.]

And you're okay with that?

[gonnawreckit]

I guess so. I'm bad, and that's good. I'll never be good and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.

[doubleppk]

That's a very confusing mantra.

[gonnawreckit]

It's actually very straightforward.

[doubleppk]

That's... even more confusing.

It's all contradictory. What do you mean by "bad" I guess?

[gonnawreckit]

Being a bad guy. It's jut my programming.

[doubleppk]

Who made you that way?

[gonnawreckit]

The game designers, I guess. Not like I know 'em.

[doubleppk]

Oh. Is this like how Monkey Punch is my stalker? [Don't ask.]

What happens if you try to break your mold?

[gonnawreckit]

No idea what that means, lady.

In my experience? Not much in the way of good things.

[doubleppk]

He's a manga-ka. A writer of comics. And a buffoon. Even more so than Lupin, that's truly saying something.

Pity. Sounds like you're type-casted then.
