Bad News From The Zones, Tumbleweeds

The Big Talk & Nightmares

Poison and Kid return and when they walk in the house, you say hello and head to Jet's room.

You lie on the bed and look around at Jet's possessions. As you begin to drift off to sleep you

think about how things have gone so differently than the original plan.

OCIM I was supposed to kill them, not destroy their lives. If I had killed them it would've been

less painful then what is happening now.

PP So what's up? Is Star okay? Noticing the strange way you left the room.

JS Well...

FG We think we should talk.

KK I don't know about this.

Poison looks to Ghoul and they exchange a look.

PP Maybe we should.

JS Let's just get it all out; clear the air and then move on, like we use to.

KK you mean before SHE joined us.

JS Kid...Jet says as a warning but Ghoul interrupts.

FG Just calm down. Kid has a right to be angry but let's try to keep it civil. Please.

PP You know the rules.

JS Fuck I hate the rules.

KK Yeah me too.

FG No talking over someone, they get their full say.

PP No yelling, no biting, no spitting.

KK Damn I like the spitting.

JS I liked the biting.

They both laugh and for a moment it was just like before. Poison and Ghoul look hopeful and

when the laughter dies, both Kid and Jet look sad.

FG I'm going first. I like Star Child, she has a weird energy, she's witty and I can see she loves Jet

completely. I can also see she feels bad about what's going on and blames herself.

KK (mutter) Good it's her fault.

PP Kid. Please the rules.

FG She's a good kid who's had a rough childhood, was alone and found us. Isn't that the

definition of a Kill Joy? Hell Kid, she'd do anything to take away your pain. She's quick she

knows what you're feeling and hates that she can't fix it. But the heart wants what it wants man.

KK You done?

FG Yeah

KK Good, fuck you.

PP Does that mean you want to go now?

KK Hell NO.

JS I know it doesn't help that we all live together. I know it doesn't help that we've been so close

for so long just us four. Maybe we should've tried harder to socialize. I know you lied in the car.

I'm so sorry Mikey, I just don't love you like that. I love her. I feel like hell when I see the pain in

your eyes when we are in your presence. But at the same time, why should I have to hide in my

own house? Why should I have to only be affectionate in my bedroom? Poison and Ghoul kiss,

snuggle and do WAY more in the living room then I care to see sometimes but it's their house too.

I don't know what else to say other then I'm sorry.
