Eunice: There so much to this place that I can't even begin to keep up.
Mickey: Well you're gonna have to if you want to stay above board here. Hey, we're almost to my hole. My grandpa should be waiting there.
Eunice: I forgot to ask, but both your mom and your grandpa came here?
Mickey: Yeah. Grandpa came here to gamble alongside my mom and then...she disappeared and my grandpa collapsed. I don't know what's going on with him, but he's been getting taken care of by the doctors that Dr. Megalo has sent to us. They're keeping him alive...for how long I don't know.
Eunice: That's...horrible. Your grandfather is a vegetable and you're pretty much an orphan. Talk about tough.
Mickey: Eh, I'm surviving and that's all I care about. Besides, this place looks unified, but it's really dog eat dog. Everyone is here for one reason or another and they form alliances to oppress others.
Eunice: Shouldn't Dr. Megalo put a stop to that kind of thing?
Mickey: He should. Truth be told, I don't completely trust him. He says things that just...don't sit right with me. He shuns gambling, but openly mocks people here who have lost their families in the casino. Nobody knows where these people go, but even if we found out, we wouldn't know what to do. They've already bet their lives on Dr. Megalo and so long as they're alive, they couldn't care less.
Eunice: What about you? What are you gonna do once you find your mom?
Mickey: ...Eunice...I
Guard: Hey! Hands where I can see 'em!
*Eunice turns her attention to correctional officers hassling a few teens. They rebel and respond with vulgarities that prompted the officer to push the kid down.*
Eunice: Hey! Keep your hands off that kid! I hate the matter with you?
Mickey: Eunice! Hey!!
Guard: Back away, orphan, this has nothing to do with you.
Eunice: First off, I've been an adult since I was 15 and that was 7 years ago! Secondly, I have a name! Is that how you talk to all of these kids here? What kind of person does that?
Guard: I said back away. You are violating direct orders from a peacekeeping agent of Dr. Megalo!
Eunice: Fuck your orders!!
Mickey: Eunice! Stop!
Guard: This is your last warning! If you continue disobeying, we will use force!
Eunice: I dare you!
*The guard looks around at his fellow guards who shrug at him upon looking back for their thoughts on the situation. He then took it upon himself to swat Eunice across the head with a night stick that knocked her too the ground.*
Mickey: EUNICE!!
*Mickey raced to her side to check on her condition. She propped herself up on her arm and placed her hand onto the open wound the officer created.*
Guard: You free spirited upstarts are a dime a dozen. Next time, know your place and stay in line!
Mickey: Eunice, are you ok?
Eunice: Yeah, I'm fine. He's right about one thing though. I'm definitely free spirited.
*Eunice stood up only to stumble to back until she caught herself. She looked at the blood that she wiped from her head*
Mickey: Eunice, just stay down. You can't summon your stand because you don't have any liquid water around.
*Eunice looked back at Mickey and tilted her head in confusion. She smiled and faces the guard again as she stood up straight.*
