"You good over there?" Mar asks
"Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm good" Troy nods
"You looked deep in thought like Putty when he's drunk" Mar smiles
"I'm good, thanks for asking" Troy gets up, stretching
"You ready yet?" Kyron asks
"Yeah, I guess" Mar gets up
"Where are you guys headed?" Troy asks
"To our jobs...?" Mar stares at Troy
"Oh yeah, people have those" Troy nods slowly
"Hey, don't interrupt Carry right now" Kyron warns
"What's up with Carry?" Troy asks
"Just don't go in her room from now until like, 11" Mar warns
"I-sure" Troy nods
"Alright, have fun" Mar waves
Kyron and Mar leave
Troy immediately gets up and starts walking to Carry's room
He starts peeping through
"So what the f*ck are we doing today, chat?" Carry asks
Carry has a whole setup around her, computer, microphone, camera, soundboard, electronics all around her
"She's a streamer? I didn't even know that was still around" Troy murmurs
"Nexus? Mario? Drunke'mon, what're we doing?" Carry asks
"Why'd they not want me to come in there?" Troy stares
"Alright, Bingo, react, then 'Mon, cool" Carry watches the screen
"I won't bother her, Yami, I'm coming for you" Troy walks out of the house
"...Where should I start?" Troy asks himself
"Yami, Yami, Yami..." He squints
".....Los Angeles" He stares
"Hey, where you going?" Putty asks, standing at the door
"To find my friend" Troy answers
"You should wait for Kyron and Mar to get back, they get off at like...9" Putty slowly looks away
"Would they care?" Troy asks
"I know me and Carry do" Putty smiles
"Carry's streaming though, isn't she?" Troy asks
"Yeah...how'd you know?" Putty asks
"I'm a peeping tom" Troy explains
"She could stream it" Putty nods
"What about Kyron and Mar?" Troy asks
"They're just game developers, it's fine" Putty answers
"Alright, if you wanna call them and tell them to get ready to go to California in seconds to find a cat, then you can try to convince them" Troy shrugs
"Stay here" Putty goes back inside
"...Something's wrong" Troy looks around
"GET BACK HERE" A woman's voice rings out
Troy looks up
A figure of a man gets chased after by someone covered in purple armor, hopping from building to building
"What the hell?" Troy watches them
" YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT GONNA GET ME, YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE A PLAN" The figure yells
"MY PLAN IS TO STANGLE YOU UNTIL YOU GIVE THE BOOK BACK TO THE WOMAN" Purple yells
"Sure, why not" Troy starts chasing after them both
"HEY, WE'VE GOT A FAN" The figure shouts, laughing
Purple looks at Troy
"SIR, YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE YOU GET HURT" Purple explains
"WHAT'S YOUR NAME?" Troy asks the figure
"I'M CASPER, YOU?" The figure asks
"WHY DO YOU WANT THIS GUY?" Troy asks purple
"BECAUSE HE STOLE SOMETHING IMPORTANT" Purple answers
"Alright" Troy grabs the figure by the arm and starts falling with them
"WHAT THE HELL?" Casper shouts
"HUH?" Purple stares
"So where's the book?" Troy asks
"R-RIGHT HERE" Casper hands Troy the book
"Thanks" Troy and Casper fall safely, or semi-safe
"I can take this from here, thanks" Purple stares at Troy, roping Casper's hands together
"What's your name?" Troy asks
"People around here call me Hydra" Purple answers
"Alright, 'Hydra' my name's Troy" Troy hands the book to her
"Thank you...hey, are you free later?" Hyrda asks
"Yeah, depends what time" Troy answers
"Great, we can meet at Heaven N' Hell, 5 sound good?" Hydra attaches the book to her hip
"Y-Yeah, that-that's great" Troy nods
"Alright, 'till then" Hydra shoots off with Casper
Troy stares
"HOLY CRAP, THAT WAS HYDRA, AND YOU JUST-HOLY SH*T" Putty yells
"That was pretty cool" Carry smiles
"Y-yeah, that was-that was great" Troy stares where he last saw Hydra
"Awww, look at that, someone has a crush" Carry smiles
"No, I don't-no, I've only had my eye for one girl...right? YEAH, I'VE BEEN-yeah, loyal...loyal" Troy squints
"You've got another crush, who?" Putty asks
"I'm partially a widow" Troy explains
"Oh sh*t, I'm sorry. I didn-" Putty starts to say
"It's fine, she's been dead for a while now" Troy shakes his head, sighing
"Do you have any other family?" Carry asks
"My grandpa and maybe some kids" Troy nods
"Kids? Multiple?" Putty asks
"Yeah, Myth's probably still alive, maybe Milim too, probably some more I don't know about" Troy shrugs
"You've been loyal to one woman, but you've got multiple kids, and you're partially widowed?" Carry asks
"My sperm gets around" Troy nods
"...How the hell do you expect me to respond to that?" Carry asks
"I don't, they coming?" Troy asks Putty
"They can't get off until 9 but they'll go as soon as they get off" Putty explains
"That's actually pretty good, gives me time" Troy nods
"For what?" Carry asks
"For my da-hangout with Hydra" Troy answers
"You've got a crush" Putty smiles
"No wonder your sperm gets around, you fall in love with anyone" Carry laughs a bit
"They how come I don't wanna f#ck you?" Troy asks
"YOU WENT FOR THE THROAT" Putty stares, shocked
"Good point" Carry grins
"Gotta get ready, see ya" Troy disappears
"Can't wait to meet his friend" Putty starts walking with Carry
"Me neither" Carry raises her eyebrows
