To [Kegar]: Tell me about Australia?
[Kegar] whispers: What do you want to know?
To [Kegar]: Idk, what was it like growing up over there?
To [Kegar]: What's the food like?
To [Kegar]: I'd even take a weather forecast lol
[Kegar] whispers: It's a different country, not another planet.
[Kegar] whispers: Now I'm not sure my answers will appease you lol.
To [Kegar]: Why wouldn't they?
To [Kegar]: I have a hard time believing any answers you provide will be that big of a disappointment lol
[Kegar] whispers: Well for starters, my mother's American and my father's Australian.
To [Kegar]: And that's a problem why?
[Kegar] whispers: I've spent a healthy bit of time in both countries.
To [Kegar]: I hardly call that an awful deal.
[Kegar] whispers: Haha, not awful but not great either.
[Kegar] whispers: There's just a good chance I won't be able to answer your questions the way you want them answered.
[Kegar] whispers: Though the weather is very similar to the East Coast lol
To [Kegar]: Haha okay-okay, true enough.
To [Kegar]: What was it like growing up in two countries then?
[Kegar] whispers: Terrible.
To [Kegar]: Kinda just went for it huh lol
[Kegar] whispers: You asked didn't you?
[Kegar] whispers: I don't really have a reason to lie to you about myself.
To [Kegar]: You don't?
[Kegar] whispers: No. You sound like I'm hiding state secrets over here lol.
To [Kegar]: You never know these days...
To [Kegar]: Too many people out there pretending to be someone they're not.
[Kegar] whispers: That's very true.
[Kegar] whispers: Well, for what it's worth I try to make it a point of not being a fraud in my personal life.
To [Kegar]: I'm sensing a segway into your night job? lol
[Kegar] whispers: Haha yeah, a bit.
To [Kegar]: So what do you do that makes you a 'fraud'?
[Kegar] whispers: In crude terms, I prey on smaller businesses and convince them to sell out to mine.
To [Kegar]: Hmmm
To [Kegar]: Yeah, idk if I can trust you anymore lol.
[Kegar] whispers: Can't say I'd blame you. It's not exactly fulfilling work...
To [Kegar]: Why don't you just quit?
[Kegar] whispers: LOL
[Kegar] whispers: If I could I would. I can't though. Not an option, unfortunately.
To [Kegar]: Why not?
[Kegar] whispers: Let's just say my career would be over before I set foot out of the building.
To [Kegar]: Wow, your boss sounds like a tool.
[Kegar] whispers: He's a real piece of work, that's for sure.
To [Kegar]: I wish there were words of wisdom that could help you.
[Kegar] whispers: Your conversation is a much appreciated distraction from the shitty working conditions ;)
To [Kegar]: Flattery will only get you so far lol
[Kegar] whispers: Haha, I expected as much.
To [Kegar]: Good ;)
