Don't do it

[stephen_bloom]

You're considering finding me a game. Why? What do you think I'll do in a game? I'm a con artist and a criminal, but not one violent enough for most crime oriented games, which don't interest you, anyways.

No offense, but you're a goody two shoes. You want to paint me as some soft-hearted schmuck, just because I took good care of my brother. And Penelope. And Bang Bang...SHUT UP. I did not take care of Bang Bang. She took care of herself. Are you trying to get me killed? Shit.

Fine, look around, but I'm not feeling sorry for you, when it doesn't work out.

You can totally be a good person and a criminal. Live by your own rules, Stephen.

Who else's would I live by? I'm too used to doing the writing for anything else. It depends on how you define good, I guess.

[realsmuggler]

Then you shouldn't worry about it. Go off, have a real adventure. An unwritten one. See if you can manage it.

*He looks at her likes she's insane.* Why would I want to do something like that? Bloom's into that sort of thing, not me. I prefer to know the cards I'm being dealt ahead of time.

I don't know... It's a thing called real life. It can take you for a surprise.

[stephen_bloom]

Yeeeahhhh. I don't like surprises. Anyway, my life is very real, thank you. Just because it goes according to my plans, doesn't make it fake.

[realsmuggler]

Sounds like a cop out. [She shrugs.] But whatever you say.

[stephen_bloom]

A cop...? *He actually looks stunned, even a bit hurt.* Why? What's so great about an unwritten life, huh? I spent ten years, as a kid, having other people trying to write my story. It sucked.
