Huh? A re-play? Didn't you get enough of that town, watching that poor guy Murphy suffer through it?

[awkward head scratch.]

I guess it's too much to ask that we don't go back to that place...?

[Wait, what.]

Do I know you?

[HELP JAMES, MUN IS KEEPING HIM IN THE DARK HERE.]

Oh... it's you.

[WELCOME TO THE CLUB, BROSKI]

You're Murphy Pendleton, aren't you?

[Wary look:]

Uh, yeah...?

...Why are you asking?

[How do people keep knowing who he is, gdit?!]

Uh-- sorry. This must be strange.

I'm James Sunderland. My Mun said you'd been to Silent Hill.

[Aaaand cringing at the name, because that place is Bad News Bears.]

[Ugh, bro. Why'd you have to go and say it. Even at times in which he never thought he'd have to think about it again, he can't forget.]

Yeah.

[Pause.]

So, uh. You too, huh? I mean. You've been there?

[Because his Mun is a sadist. :l]

... Yeah.

[... They're just a bundle of laughs, aren't they?]

I have.

Anyway, she wants to do one of those "canon reviews." Which means going back to it all.

[Aren't they all?]

Mine's thinkin' about doin' the same as well. They just can't seem to get enough of the damn place -- at least they don't have to live through it.

[Oh bro, he feels your pain.]

I don't get it. What's so appealing about it?

[Between the monsters, the general horror... he just does not. Understand.]

Dunno. Mine seems to have an... unhealthy fixation with it, if you ask me. Kid needs to find a better hobby.

I think they all do. [Sob.]

So, uh... you've been there? Did you make it out?

Yeah, but... at a bit of a price. Pretty sure I can throw any hope of ever havin' a normal life again out the window.

I know that feeling. [It was beyond scarring.]

...What about you? Did you...? I mean, you're here, but...

[But since when has being dead ever stopped anyone in Silent Hill?]

But that's what the fun of life's all about. Cyclical rehashings, one after another.

"Ask and ye shall receive" doesn't really work as much as the New Testament let on.

I don't think it'd be much 'fun' at all. [Concerned!face is go.]

[ Kevin's is more of a smirk, which is ostensibly sympathetic. Inwardly, he's thinking James isn't the brightest bulb. ]

Yeah, sorry about that. Guess there's a lot up for laughs in the big ol' world, but not for us.
