We Happy Few - Role Reversal

Act I: Percy/Part 3 (Meeting Margaret)

Making a run to the little park in the Garden District, Percy was determined to get that keycard from David and free himself from the Garden District in order to get back to the Parade. When he made it the the park, wastrels were running away from him, hoping not to be killed.

"Hello?" Percy called out. "Anyone here?"

"Bloody hell!" A wastrel shouted. Percy knew at that moment that people were revolting on him. 

"Shit" He cursed.

"Are you a tourist? You look like one!" Another wastrel judged. Percy thought that he was going to get beaten into a pulp, that was until...

"Over here!" It was a woman in the nearby church calling out to him. Percy ran for the hills as he go at into the church.

"Oh God, what were...what were...what were they going to do to me?" Percy asked.

"We got a dim one" The woman crossed her arms. "Listen, I help you survive the next five minutes, and in return, you give me your socks"

"You can't be serious!" Percy protested. He had already had enough crazy for one day, he just wanted to get back to what he was doing in the Parade, without Joy of course.

"Well, I mean if you wanna get snagged out there, I suggest you take my offer" The woman said. Percy had to admit, she had a point. He took of his socks and gave them to the woman. "People around here don't like others who wear 'fancy' attire, like the one you're wearing right now"

"But, my uncle... my unc... my uncle bought this for me last... last... last Christmas" Percy stated.

"Well I'm sorry, but you're gonna need to grab a nice sharp rock and tear that thing to shreds" The woman sympathised.

"And you're sure that this won't get me killed?" Percy scratched the back of his neck.

"Well...they really won't give a damn what you do, as long as you don't take stuff that don't...belong to you, or just go up and punch somebody in the nose" the woman explained. "Now you can survive the next five minutes, cheerio"

"Well, great" Percy soon realised that David was in the church too. He walked up to him and took out the medals. "I found your medals"

"Thank you, you don't know what they mean to me" David smiled. "Oh... I almost forgot. Here"

Percy took the keycard that he was waiting for. He nodded and stashed it in his, soon to be ripped, pocket.

"Please excuse an old man for his memories" David pleaded. Percy nodded again and headed off to the workbench.

"Well, here I go" Percy stabbed the rock through his suit and ripped it up, feeling remorse about his proper attire and soon putting it on, feeling more cold than usual, of course he would, his suit now had holes in it. "Hopefully the wastrels won't bother me about this"

Percy then saw another mask levitating in the air on top of the altar. He grabbed it and a flashback played in his mind.

A Train whistles

"Percy what were you doing?"

"I didn't want you to get into trouble"

"What do you mean?"

"Mrs. Boyle came around and knew that you were the one up in the tree next to Sally at 9:30 pm"

"What was she like?"

"She sounded like Mum, when she's angry"

"Oh God, what were you doing though?"

"I lied about the situation"
