Charon Walken | Baccano! | Apping into Some More Heroes

[mode_gears]

[This child star is being put into a game full of assasins.]

...

...

... If great grandpop is there... it'll be fine, right?...

While it's fine for a boy to love his ancestry, sometimes you'll have to learn how to fight on your own. Your great-grand...pop... probably doesn't have much life in him left, son.

[takemyvoice]

....?

[Chane cocks her head a tiny bit. Even though she doesn't personally know her future great grandson and can't believe she ever had kids with that man...she still sort of wonders if he'll really be okay in Santa Destroy regardless of Claire and her being there.]

[mode_gears]

...

... Last time I saw him, he left to go deep sea dive for pirate treasure...

Silent golden eye stare off is go!

[mode_gears]

[He stares back, noticing the golden eyes. Did that make her related? She looks familiar.]

...?

[cursedtolive]

Your great.... grandfather?

[We've got someone like that in Santa Destroy?]

Who?

[mode_gears]

...Czes?

[He looks almost surprised.

That fades quickly though.]

...You know who I'm talking about. Great Grandpop Felix....

[cursedtolive]

[The surprise lingers longer on Czes' face, but he shakes his head. He looks almost suspicious.]

I don't know anyone named Felix in that city... how do you know me?

[mode_gears]

[Again, Charon's confused. Just staring at Czes without saying anything at first.

Letting the silence linger before asking, innocently.]

...Is this a game?...

[cursedtolive]

What is...? I'm not playing any games with you. [he settles for a small, troubled-looking frown.] How do you know my name? Did someone tell you?

[mode_gears]

[He nods.

Then he points at Czes.]

[cursedtolive]

Huh?

I told you? But we've never met before!

[mode_gears]

[That one is a bit more difficult.

Again, the silence lingering before he speaks up.]

...You knew our great, great grandfather...

[cursedtolive]

[He shakes his head.] That Felix person, right? I really don't know anyone with that name.

[Not personally, anyway. Just in rumors.]

[mode_gears]

[Shakes his head.]

...Huey...

[cursedtolive]

[Surprise at hearing Huey's name hits him faster than the realization that he miscounted the "great"s. He tenses up and narrows his eyes, taking at good look at Charon-- black hair, golden eyes.]

You're... you're related to Huey? Huey Laforet?

[mode_gears]

[Nods again.]

[cursedtolive]

Then you're... [Alas, nothing comes to Czeslaw's mind. He thinks it might be the Chane girl from SD, but would she have the name "Felix"? Well, the Rail Tracer was named Claire or something, wasn't he...? Still.]

... Huey had kids?

What's your name?

[mode_gears]

...Charon Walken...

[Maybe Amnesia, that makes sense, right?]

...I saw you on the ship...

[Wrong boat, wrong boat!]

[cursedtolive]

The ship? [The Advenna Avis? But he was the only kid there! Besides, it can't be. He's a couple hundred years now but Huey back then was twenty, give or take a few years. He couldn't have had great, great grandchildren. Then what ship? What year?]

I'm sorry. I don't think I remember.

[mode_gears]

...Hit your head?...

[The child stunt actor has probably seen one too many movies.

A blow to your head could erase your memories!]

[cursedtolive]

N-no, it's not like that. I don't think we've ever met before. What was the name of the ship?

[mode_gears]

...Entrance...

[cursedtolive]

[... he shakes his head.] I don't know any ships with that name.

Hey, I know this is a weird question, but what year is it?

[mode_gears]

[Definitely sounds like amnesia.]

2002.

[cursedtolive]

Two thousand--

O-okay. Charon, you're... you're going to think I'm crazy, but I'm not from 2002 yet. You see, people can come from lots of different years, and...
