I may have met with an untimely defeat in the tournament, but I'm not ready to call it quits just yet. Any other Players interested in taking me on? I promise to make it worth your while.

On another note, I've come into possession of a few pieces of highly influential media from my world. We're gonna be having us a movie night this Saturday, seven PM at the city library. Attendance is mandatory.

[ Private to Jake English and Jane Crocker: ]

I fucked up.

Sorry.

I have something for you.

Shit, bro, you miss the part where I said it was mandatory? All of them.

[Private]

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

You want me to show up to something with so many people willingly?

[Private]

[fracturedsoul]

Yes.

If you're not used to socializing with other people, you're never gonna get better if you don't work at it.

[It takes a while for Alex to answer, he's busy having a minor panic attack.] I don't think I'll get much better than I am. I can't handle more than maybe three new people. The only thing that got me to talk to any of the players was that I couldn't use the PDA or computers without player permission.

You grow up alone in the middle of the ocean or something, Furest?

[Private]

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

New York City, actually, if you know it.

I just don't do people. I can't do people....

[Private]

[fracturedsoul]

I'm aware of it.

No one's asking you to do anyone. I'd actually prefer it if everyone remained fully clothed for this exhibition. I'm just sayin' you can't hide out your entire life.

[Oh, it's a good thing his phobia of sex is one of his lost memories or he might have just died from that. As it is he's red from just how embarrassing that is.]

I'm 17 and it's worked out just fine so far.

[Private]

[fracturedsoul]

Is that really how you want to live for the rest of your life?

[Private]

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

...
I don't mind just a few friends. I wouldn't know how to manage too many friends, and I really like just being in small groups. I don't like all the noise and movement that comes with may people.

[Private]

[fracturedsoul]

Well, if that works for you who am I to tell you otherwise. Guess you'll just have to miss out on these cinematic masterpieces.

[Private]

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

Shit, man. You make this hard on me.

[Private]

[fracturedsoul]

If you don't want to come, then don't come. I was mostly joking with the "It's mandatory" shit anyway.

But give some thought to my ultimatum: Come and see the worst movies you'll ever see, or don't and miss out.

Anyone tries to start anything with you they'll have to answer to me.

[Private]

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

I'll try to come. No promises. Only because I don't want to miss out in these spectacular masterpieces.

Might be easier if I get there early so it's not like I'm walking into a mob of people.

Maybe you can introduce me to at least some people.

[Private]

[fracturedsoul]

Sure, I can do that, although I'm pretty sure you've been here longer'n me.

[Private]

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

That doesn't mean I know more people. I know Dave, Shion, Becca, Firifale, and Sam.... I met a blind girl named Rose too, she helped me my first day. Maybe there has been one or two other people, but... yeah, this is actually a lot of people for me to know face-to-face.

[Private]

[fracturedsoul]

Hm. Yeah, looks like you could use some help on that front. Show up early, yeah, and I'll see what I can do.

[Private]

[afraid_of_my_shadow]

Thanks.

It means a lot.
