The Grandfather of the Reunion

Act 2-10

The carnival is in town

Starting first memory playback with: Memory of certain day

---

Getting talked out by Mephisto for no longer leaning into other people's businesses, Hosea doesn't know what to do anymore except be a good leader, and focus on liberating Bullworth as a whole.

Unfortunately, he was still upset at something Talulah did.

Earlier this day, Hosea – upon knowing that Svetlana was also a psychiatrist, sent Svetlana to mediate tensions between the two best friends—Gordon and Mila. Apparently the former had daddy issues, and while the latter teased Gordon to kingdom come, he thinks insulting his father was a bit too far.

The mediation did work, a bit, though while tensions were starting to get snuffed out by Svetlana...a more...playful fighting arose from two specific leaders.

AJ, the only guy that understands the two of them are still goofballs, attempt to mediate tensions. They did it at the balcony, where everyone can hear and see them argue.

AJ: "So...wait, why are you mad at each other again?"

Hosea: "She ate my chilli! Just gobbling it down, without stopping!"

Talulah: "I'm!...sorry!..."

Hosea: "Sorry does not count! I was hungry! And that was made by my boy! Was it for you?! Do you intend to eat everything you see or something?!"

AJ: "Wait...you're mad at each other because of a bowl of chilli?"

Hosea: "It's not just a bowl of chilli! It has symbolism in it! How can I trust Talulah to do things on her own when she does...things like this!? I tell you, someday, when we're gone out hunting or something, she's gonna go and kill everyone, simply because her pillow has insufficient feathers!"

Talulah: "How dare you! Mad because of some food!? I can't help myself!"

Hosea: "You know? I remember vaguely about that pudding story you told me when we were at Temperance... How does it feel betraying someone by eating food specifically for them? Heck! If you would ask! I would share it!"

Talulah: "I... How many times do you want me to say 'Sorry'?!"

AJ: "Enough!... Jeez, over for a piece of food? It's just food, you idiots."

Hosea: "Just food!? I've had enough of hearing this bullshit!"

*Hosea storms out of the argument, his hands thrown, and his expression one of outraged from being surrounded by idiots.*

Talulah: "Hey! Where are you going!?"

Hosea: "I'm going for a walk! Maybe I'll stop by the Commune. Fucking hell, I trust hippies more than my own group."

Talulah: "Hosea!... I command you to come back here!...please..."

AJ: "Ugh, just leave it... Maybe a walk can calm him down."

Talulah: "Is he always like this?"

AJ: "Usually his anger would be justified with past grievances, and damn, does he have a lot. Seriously, ask first, eat later."

Talulah: *She sinks her head on her hands, and sobs from guilt and frustration.* "Oh my goodness..."

He grabbed his bag from his master's bedroom, his bike keys, and his shotgun, and heads out the manor to the garage. Despite him saying he needed a walk to calm himself down, he cleverly tricked them that make him sound like he is going for a walk—in actuality, he's going to Judas to report what he heard from Jimmy, and break the bad news about giving the kid her diary.
