I'm no psychologist but it's easy to say he's psychotic. He's been stalking my friend Darcy since I arrived.

I almost shot him in your pretty face, Raymond. You don't need to convince me.

You should be a worse person, maybe your mirror would be tolerable.

Next time? Please don't stop at almost. Don't even let him talk.

You're telling me to kill your mirror, just like that?

I can do that.

Thank you. I don't know if I ever meet him that I'll be able to.

Thank goodness yours is a pretty friendly guy.

Luckily you know a good for nothing criminal.

...you met mine?

You're good for lots of things!

Yeah! I made him coffee, we just kind of hung out and chatted. His name's Leo.

Am I? Cause I was just quoting you back.

Leo? Haven't called myself that in years.

That was like three years ago. You know that's not what I think anymore.

[ yeah!!! you know, now ray just forcibly has forced len into the hero category and will now probably be really disappointed when he doesn't behave as such doesn't that sound awesome? ]

He had hair! Did you also play D&D when you were younger? OH man you'd make a scary Dungeon Master...

Gosh, Raymond, are you ever in for a disappointment.

...he actually went with the hair. Damn. No, when I was younger I was busy robbing ATMs and getting a criminal record. Not a lot of time for dice rolls.

Or maybe you're in for a surprise.

Yeah, he didn't seem like the type at all. I mean, actually? He seemed kind of like he didn't really have any kind of real driving force. Sort of aimless.

You were the one just asking me to assassinate someone.

Makes sense. Supposed to be our opposites. Mick always said that I never did anything without a plan.

He's not a someone! He's a mirror, a construct-- a completely hollow shell filled with bad and wrong.

Which also means you always want something tangible.

I already said I'd do it, Raymond. Now tell me what got your panties in a twist.

Sure. Usually money.

1. I wear boxer briefs.
2. I don't think you actually want to know, or that you'd understand if you did.

I'd have banked on tighty whities.

You'd be surprised. I like knowing things and I'm pretty fast at understanding.

You've never gone jogging, I take it...

A lot of people got hurt during this whole second-mansion thing. My mirror did a lot of damage. And I don't think there's anything I can do about it. I can't make it better, and I can't stop it. The ATOM doesn't have a place here. I'm not sure I do, either.

No. I've gone commando though.

I can tell you what to do, step numero uno. Never talk about yourself in third person, tends to creep people out.

For another, there might be things to be done.

Great, thank you for that.

I wasn't talking in the third person! And anyway saying "there might be things to be done" is creepier than me referencing the exosuit by its name.

〈 ray my dude you protesteth way too much 〉

You are welcome.

I was going for creepy. Good to know you're with the program.

What bothers you about being here?

Well you're also hypocritical. Was that intentional too?

Everything.
No, not everything. Most things. Being stranded isn't exactly something I'm enjoying revisiting, though.

[ he almost says he'd rather be in nanda-hell-on-earth-parbat but ... hahah no that's crazytalk. ]

Personally I'd just like to know why my afterlife has to include you.

Have you ever been on the mirror side, Raymond?

Yeah. Why?

I fancy going.

You didn't go when the mirrors came down?

oh man, it's so true

yyyyy, definitely, let's make it headcanon right now

\o/ and sprinkled with the dramatic irony of ray not knowing, right?

isn't everything?

............yeah ok fair point
