Planning on sending the Logan Lerman look alike somewhere

[attemptsperfection]

Look...I'm not exactly the greatest character you could come up with. I'm not fantastical, I'm not magic, I'm not a robot, I'm just not...whatever you want to call it.

What makes you think people will even want to talk to me? It's like at school. People will only be your friend because you got something or you're cool or you're a jock. I'm not any of those things. I'm just average. That's all I'll ever be. I won't make friends in any game you send me to and you know it. I'm not interesting enough.

[He pauses for a minute.]

I just don't want to get hurt.

Being average doesn't sound so bad. How do you know you won't make any friends until you try?

[attemptsperfection]

What's that mean?

Because, I've seen how things turn out when you do try. Please just end up using you for something or just want to make you feel like crap so they can lord it over you.

[switchtail]

Well... It means that a lot of people would really like to be "average". More than anything, even. Maybe.

And not everyone is like that. Some people are...maybe a lot, I don't know, but not everyone! But you don't know unless you try.

[attemptsperfection]

I don't mind being average...keeps me at a distance. I just don't think he's thinking things through with sending me to a game.

All the people I've met are. Kind of hard not to have a jaded opinion.

[switchtail]

[He thinks on that for a moment.]

What about me? I can be your friend! [And he sounds maybe a little too excited over that.]

[attemptsperfection]

What? No. Besides, I'm probably going to a game, so it wouldn't work out. Sorry.

[Excuses, excuses.]

[switchtail]

Oh. [He looks put out by that.] Well... So what if you're going to a game? We could still be friends here, right?
