I'm getting real tired of getting dumped in strange places against my will. I don't like it.

[There's a low, dangerous growl of disapproval and the expression on Mick's face is not a pretty one. It's somewhat reminiscent of an angry bull. This was the second time in God knows how many days that Mick Rory has found himself stranded somewhere new and different, unsure what the hell is happening. It's not a good feeling. It didn't inspire much good will.

Though this is a definite improvement over the last place. For one, there's food. For another, he gets a free smart phone to yell at people over and voice his anger. Not bad. Though he did kind of think they went a little overboard with the white. What was with all the decorations anyway? This better not be like some low rent Christmas Town cause honestly, that sounded a lot like hell.]

You got five minutes to convince me not to torch this place to the ground cause I ain't in the mood to play nice right now. Somebody start talking. [The words come out as an angry snarl, teeth barred. He's not a happy bunny.]

That's better than the usual game of chance.

Usually it's one strike and you're out.

For some people.

[Wonderland wasn't such a large adjustment for Frisk. The concept of limits, really, was something they had to get used to.]

For normal people.

[How many lives do some people have? Jesus.] Death sure is a cheery topic.

[Ha ha...well.

They've never been normal.]

I guess it's kind of creepy...

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Just makes it more interesting. Still, morbid though.

I guess so yeah.

Sorry.

No need to be sorry about anything, kid.

Being weird, being creepy, being odd, they're nothing to be ashamed off. You gotta flaunt it. Makes you different. Different is good. I like different.

Not everyone does.

It's not bad if you're different though I guess. I like different too.

Most people are stupid. You don't have to listen to them.

If you do, you'll end up stupid too. Then you won't like different.

I'm a kid. I'm already stupid.

You know, kids tend to be smarter than adults.

That ain't exactly hindering you

[Why would he make a claim like that? Lowering their guard, maybe? Adults always know best, they say. Always know better for you than you do.]

LOL. Ok.

[Not a refutation, but they've no cause to believe him.]

I hope you like it here ok. It's not always great but it's not always bad either.

It's true. Trust me. You don't believe me, talk to an adult. Literally any adult.

[Including himself. The guy who wanted to burn down the mansion JUST BECAUSE.]

I don't think I'm gonna like it but I don't think I'm gonna really like anywhere lately.

What kind of places do you like?

Dunno. The places I liked before are kind of... [He pauses, trying to think of the right word, the right way to express it.] tainted, I guess. I couldn't go back to them and be happy so they ain't anywhere I want to be.

Usually I like places with booze.

Maybe you're stronger than the memories of the bad things that made those places less happy.

Or maybe I should just stick to bars and avoid that whole mess of feelings instead.

That won't work forever around here.

Watch me, kid. I've avoided a lot of shit in bars, this won't be any different.

But you also can't run away if anything happens. Not for long, anyway.

You wanna bet?

You think people haven't tried?

I think everyone deep down gives a shit, one way or another, that's why they've failed.

Me, I lost my reasons for caring. This whole building could cave in on me and crush me to death and at this point? I wouldn't even care.

You think you're the only one to think that?

You're not.

People can feel like shit and still want to save their own skin. They do in the end.

I've never cared much for mine.
