Hello.

How are you all doing? [ A beat. ] Actually, you all know I don't care so let's ignore that question, hm?

So, who would like to have their fortune, romantic future, or whatever told?

I know, I know... tarot is still a [ Longer pause. ] hobby of mine, but one you get to reap the rewards of today.

Fun, right?

[That's putting it lightly.]

I'm not a fucking fan of having funerals for my students.

I didn't think you cared enough about people to have students.

I don't have that luxury when 80% of the population of the city I run is made up of them.

That's an overwhelming number of people to like. Especially for you.

It's really fucking tiring, but it's better than letting a bunch of shitty adults take over again.

A city full of children, then?

I suppose even I have something of a soft-spot for such downtrodden individuals. They've not yet grown into becoming irritating people. [ Hmm, hmm, hmm. ] Do you feel like you trained them wrong?

Basically.

I haven't been in charge for enough time to make any long-term impacts. The crappy state of the city and the adults living there is the fault of the fucking founder.

So, it's not your fault.

Don't become a lunatic because some people died.

I'm not going to. I refuse to repeat their poor decision, or let any corrupt fuckers stay in power.

Well, good luck.

[ Longer pause. ]

... are you feeling better?

Fuck no. Talking about it just hammers home the fact that no matter how much I think about it there's nothing I could've done to make things less shitty, and nothing I can do while I'm here. It's a pain in the ass.

Perhaps, you should engage in prayer to soothe the mind.

I did recently acquire a place that would work well for a church.

I'm an atheist. Gods are too annoying to deal with.

Good for meditation?

[........................................ SQUINTS.]

You're not the first person who's suggested that to me.

I'd say great minds think alike, but we know how I think about people.

Besides, it's a relatively secure and isolated place. At the very least, you can escape your thoughts by being somewhere few know how to get to, yes?

[... That actually doesn't sound so bad. Vincent's a good salesman.]

Where is it?

When we meet, I'll show you the way.

Fine.

Where the hell do you want to meet?

We have to go to Knollville then it is a bit of a walk.

But at least it'll be scenic.

Great, you're not kidding. Knollville is practically out in the boonies.

[Can Etraya have boonies? Who cares, he's calling it that.]

Okay, whatever. I don't have anything else going on.
