Joy wasn't a murderous being.
Well, that was a lie. She typically had a split second decision where she thought of not killing the humans because they bothered her seeing as their population was dwindling by the second.
But Sketchy had long passed that second of hesitation because if it wasn't for 10K holding her back, she would've already gutted him.
Why did Joy even think they could become friends in the first place?
Luckily Sketchy's yammering, or what Joy heard as yammering, if he was even yammering, honestly his voice was so ingrained into her ears that Joy couldn't tell whether Sketchy was still talking or not. Either way, his 'yammering' got cut off by some pained groans from not too far ahead.
Typically, when you heard groans, you normally thought of a zombie. But those were more 'I'm hungry' groans instead of the pain they were hearing, and ever the superhero dressed in black, 10K just had to check it out, consequently dragging Joy with him and having Sketchy follow behind.
If Joy's day was already bad, it had just gotten worse. Why may you wonder? Well, it was Skeezy who was groaning.
Just what she needed, the dynamic duo of lies to be reunited.
"He's cut in half! Oh, dear Lord! I can't do it. I can't do it. Mercy him." Neither 10K nor Joy required much convincing of such, both of them immediately took out their weapons from their respective places and pointed them at Skeezy's head.
Naturally, in the end Joy didn't doubt that it'd be 10K who'd deliver the killing shot, but she needed to blow off steam after having to tolerate Sketchy without Doc or Warren as backup.
"Wait, wait, wait! Give him a warrior's death." Sketchy pushed the couple's weapons down and instead handed 10K a heavy rock.
A bit more personal, but by the way 10K also didn't need much convincing to tuck his gun back in his pants and rush at Skeezy with the rock full force, Joy gathered that he needed to let out some steam too.
"Hey! Cut it out! Cut it out!" 10K faltered in his step, he wasn't big on killing humans without previous cause, and if Skeezy was speaking he was certainly still human.
"Come on! No, do it!"
"Just put him out of his misery, Jefferson." 10K shrugged again before hoisting the rock high above his head, preparing for what was definitely a killing blow.
"Stop! I fell in a damn hole! Get me outta here!" At those words, Sketchy ran past the couple faster than Joy could process to begin yanking on Skeezy's arm to free him from the hole.
Just more evidence that eighty percent of what Sketchy spoke were big fat lies.
"I thought you said he chose..." Sketchy waved 10K off as the latter dropped the rock he was holding so he could also help Skeezy out of the hole.
