[There is a scrawny, underfed ten year-old on screen, but anybody who's seen him around (mostly in Little Love) will probably recognize those sunglasses. Even with the shades, you can tell he's glaring by the vague feeling of murderous intent.]

I came from a world that doesn't have magic, so everything I know about it could barely fill a paragraph. I'm assuming this is some sort of spell.

On average, how often do things like this last?

Yeah, that's got to be scary. But yeah, maybe you could help them? Because, like, sometimes kids just react to adults with a 'why should I trust you'. You'd definitely be helpful!

[Wait, how do you act like a kid.]

You saying you didn't have a childhood?

[sixthdeadliest]

[Six shakes his head.]

Master took me in when I had nothing, trained and took care of me. A lot of what he did in the process definitely could've gotten him arrested, but compared to my life before he took me in, it was Paradise.

[Which should tell you a lot.]

But the point is if there's a way to make the way I changed useful, I'll take it. I hate just sitting on my hands.

[atypical_echo]

I mean, I guess you can ask the kids if they remember something bad happening?

[sixthdeadliest]

Could work as a way of breaking the ice. Get them talking.

[atypical_echo]

I mean, I guess we need data to solve this or something, right? That's how people do it on TV.

[sixthdeadliest]

Honestly, I don't see any other options. Then again, I don't know much of anything about magic. I should look more into it just in case more of...this...happens.

[atypical_echo]

Maybe there are specialists in Sunset Falls you can learn form.

[sixthdeadliest]

I doubt I have any aptitude for magic, but at least having general knowledge of it would be useful. Thank you.

Let me know if there's anywhere I might be able to help.

[atypical_echo]

I'll keep you in mind if people keep me in mind to ask me about stuff that is needed. Which, you know, they don't always do.

[sixthdeadliest]

Can't learn anything if I don't ask. Not sure what your area of expertise is, but I might reach out from time-to-time with questions for at least a lead on who to ask.

[atypical_echo]

Art, so, you know, not very useful.

[sixthdeadliest]

Actually, it's a lot more useful than you think.

Artists are particularly skilled at identifying patterns. It allows you to think more abstractly than most since creating your art requires thinking outside the box to find a way to make that vision in your head a reality.

[atypical_echo]

Huh. You sound like a friend of mine. But that makes me feel useful. Thanks.

[sixthdeadliest]

You're welcome, but what I told you wasn't to make you feel better. It's true.

[atypical_echo]

[Well damn man, way to build him up. Weird.]

I’m glad that it’s true then?

[sixthdeadliest]

[Look, it's the truth. What's the big deal?]

You're welcome...?

[atypical_echo]

[Listen, it's a big deal to him.]

Thanks!
