[You can hear the sounds of the casino around him.]

Two questions. One; what's your favorite fruit flavor? Two; what's your world like?

That's kind of a weird combo, but alright, I'll bite. I ain't too into fruit [Ray, no one is 'into' fruit] but uh, I guess-- watermelon. Though I never buy 'em anymore 'cause they're a pain in the ass when you have to finish it all by yourself.

What d'you wanna know about my world? There's no magic, no superheroes, no vampires, none of that stuff. It's pretty boring if you compare it to some people's.

[proudlywehailed]

Y'know, most places have smaller portions you can buy.

"Some." What makes it special?

[poetontheinside]

Yeah, but it just ain't the same.

I dunno, what makes your world special? You don't think it's more private stuff that makes your life special, not something about your whole world?

[proudlywehailed]

I can't argue with you there.

From what I can tell, it's a high concentration of genetic experimentation that makes mine "special".

[poetontheinside]

Oh, uh-- yeah, okay, that oughta do it. Did you...? [Hello I'm Ray and I have no tact]

[proudlywehailed]

I'm what we'd probably call a "success" in my world.

[poetontheinside]

You don't think you are?

[proudlywehailed]

Oh, I do. I've seen some of the "failures".

[poetontheinside]

[He just gives a soft grunt- doesn't seem like the kind of thing you wanna know about, let alone talk about.]

So that's you. I still dunno how mine's any special compared to that. It's a messed up place, but good things happen sometimes.

[proudlywehailed]

How's it messed up?

[poetontheinside]

Just- war, crime, poverty. Show me a place that doesn't have that and I'll tell you it's special.

[proudlywehailed]

We work on it. Crime's at an all time low, at least.

[poetontheinside]

I work on it, too, pal, it's kind of in the job description.

How'd it get so low?
