It includes most people. Mine's... a different kinda case.

[murdergate]

[ does silent staring work on gregor? ]

[verminous]

...hey, now, you don't have to look at me like that.

[murdergate]

[ it's pretty awkward, isn't it? makes you want to keep talking to fill the void. ]

[verminous]

It wasn't a replacement, all right, the situation was different-!

[murdergate]

How so? [ chinhands! ]

[verminous]

You probably don't wanna know, bud.

[murdergate]

Try me--you tell me about that, I'll tell you about something that happened to me. We can really get to know each other. Rodya will love it.

[verminous]

...all right, all right, if you're that curious.

[he can tell when something isn't going to be let go, and while he doesn't offer this up on his own-- the guy's been warned, at least.]

I didn't need a replacement. Never asked for this, either-- this is just what they were experimenting with, at the time.

I'm the 'lucky' subject, y'know. It was more successful with me than the rest.

[murdergate]

[ he tilts his head and soaks in the information for a moment. all right. ]

All right. Fair is fair.

[ you said something personal, he will, too. ]

Do you want something traumatizing or something fun?

[verminous]

[thanks for not asking further questions, buddy.

after considering this for a minute:]

Y'know what, surprise me.

[murdergate]

[ dealer's choice. nice.]

Something I haven't told any other crew yet--something I didn't tell my party back home. As an adolescent, I was sent to a boarding academy to fix my behavior. Instead of see it through, I faked my death in a boating accident. I never looked back and I don't regret it.
