Sure, here's a question. Why does life suck so bad?

( kevin's allowed to be kinda emo. sixteen, skinny as a rail, under his clothes he's sweltering in some strange black bodysuit that looks like it's made of rubber or pvc, and he has on full-length black gloves as well. whenever anyone gets too close he jerks away violently. )

Yeah.

And like, we've been telling them over and over and over that most of us aren't dangerous. But there's always one or two who are. And that's enough. Some kid manifests in Podunk New Jersey or whatever and sets his house on fire and everyone freaks out.

Less than that would be enough, too. So you've come to the problem at the heart of most sentient existence pretty early. That's probably also why life sucks so bad.

[entropic]

Yeah. I guess.

— Uh, thanks for listening to me complain or whatever.

[factotum]

Sure. It seemed more dignified because you stood at the podium.
