Skuggy is out working at his day job. He's a butcher at a restaurant called "Marbletop Diner", and a new employee was just hired. He was a cute kid, only around 5'3" with bloody colored hair and an eyepatch over his right eye. Skuggy wasn't open to talking first, but luckily for him, the new kid came up to introduce himself without much push.
Clive: Hey there! I'm Clive!
Skuggy: Cleaning the blood off his hands Hi.. I'm Skuggy.
Clive: Skuggy! You're the butcher? It's kinda cool that the restaurant has its own butcher.
Skuggy: Yeah I suppose so. I'm surprised they hired another waiter. I thought last time I checked staff was pretty full.
Clive: Apparently a few guys quit before I got here. The manager said they were brothers.
Skuggy: Huh, convinient.
Clive: You know.. The name Skuggy sounds familiar. Do I know you from somewhere?
Skuggy: Not that I know of. I don't think I've seen you before. I'm sure I would remember.. You have a memorable appearance to say the least.
Clive: Oh, the eyepatch?
Skuggy: Oh damn, you jumped on that pretty quick.
Clive: I get it a lot. It's not still open or anything, I just don't wanna scare anybody. Apparently I've made a few kids cry.
Skuggy: Jeez, must be bad..
Clive: Yeah.. To say the least. But it's okay. It's just a little hard for me to see now out of my OK eye.
Skuggy: And you're sure you're okay to be a waiter? Like.. Is your balance okay? Can you see alright?
Clive: It happened a long time ago, so yeah, my balance is all worked out now. With my glasses I can see okay, though my depth perception might be a tiny bit weird.
Skuggy: Well at least you sound sure of yourself. You're pretty positive, huh.
Clive: Oh yes! I try to see the best in everything! I think it won't help much to have negative feelings. They only make you feel bad, so what's the point, you know? I say never judge a book by its cover!
Skuggy: I... Guess you're right. In a way. Well good for you, kid. You seem to have a good life ahead of ya.
Clive: I think I do! I hope I do! And I hope you do, too! Everyone deserves to have a good life and be happy.
Skuggy: You are just a ray of sunshine aren't you?
Clive: Well I sure try to be.
Skuggy's day is admittedly brightened just by the presence of this kid. He doesn't know exactly why, but it is. Cut scene to Skuggy chilling on the couch with Dexter when he hears a knock at the door. He expects it to be Jonsonist coming home from work, but instead he comes face to face with Clive and someone else accompanying him.
Clive: Oh! Skuggy!
Skuggy: Clive?
Clive: I came to stop by to ask about the roommates thing. I saw the ad and well, I know everything I said earlier was me trying to be really positive, but I really do need a home.. Albi was on his way up as well. He's my boyfriend, and we just kinda got kicked out of his house. Contamination reasons.. And everything..
Skuggy knew it wasn't his apartment, and this was Buggy's call to make, but he refused to deny Clive, so he let him and Albi in. He understood the struggle of losing a home to... "Contamination". The group waited for Buggy to come home from construction, talking on the couch and introducing themselves. They explained their situations and began to talk over some sleeping arrangements that could work. Three bedrooms and a pullout bed. Clive and Albi said they would be okay together, Jonsonist was already sleeping buddies with Skuggy, and Dexter said he and Buggy could take turns. If not he'd end up sleeping on the pullout by himself. Eventually Buggy comes home, meeting up with Jonsonist as they both walk in at the same time.
Skuggy introduces Clive and Albi to Buggy and they talk it over together. Skuggy explains their situation, eventually getting Buggy to agree to let them stay.
