Anybody seen Brandon? Black hair, weird face scars, total asshole? Oh, and I guess he can also control electricity and if you're a chick, he's probably hit on you.

If anyone has seen him, can you let me know? I know he's been living like a hobo, but he's more of a couch potato hobo, not a mine-dwelling-turning-into-a-gremlin-hobo, so unless his couch ate him, I'm pretty sure he's gotta be around here somewhere.

[Or he's gone home. Or arrested. Or. Something. God, he shouldn't be as worried about Brandon as he is, but dammint, he was his friend. The least he could do was tell him where he was going. The irony of him breaking up with Steph because they don't know when they would randomly get sent home was so not funny right now

He frowns one last time, and then moves on.]

Also, I'm not the only person who lost their job on this stupid turtle, but I'm willing to keep going, but I'm not working for any kedan.

If anyone needs anything delivered to other parts of the turtle quick, I'm your guy. I'm super fast so I can get it there in minutes that would usually take hours, and you can pay me in food. It has to be food, or else it'll take me longer to get your stuff where it needs to go. It's a pretty good deal if you ask me.

[You can tell it's sort of hurting him to stoop to this. But he's desperate. And being flippant about it is his way of dealing with it.]

Lemme know, yeah? For both things.

So you admit it's tiring. Wouldn't it be easier to accept you'll always be faster than everyone and try to help instead of complaining about it?

Hey, I help. I help plenty. And I use my speed to do it. But I shouldn't have to pretend to be happy about feeling like I'm alone here because nobody else gets it and nobody else can keep up with me.

You should help because you want to, not because it's what you think you must. And I can keep up with you.

[crotcharrow]

Helping people is the only thing I'm good at.

[andaway]

That's not true and you know it.

voice;

[crotcharrow]

And since when were you an expert on me?

voice;

[andaway]

I hardly need to be an expert to know that, and to voice my opinion.

[Tommy grumbles. You can almost hear his sour look.]

Nobody asked you.

voice;

[andaway]

Fair enough.

[And he's done. He turns the console off after this and goes to sulk.]
