Waking up... // Canon is The Bounty Hunter

[bountywithrage]

Well, this is great. You wake me up after how long, and you expect to dump me in some crazy-ass castle full of people who can kick my ass with all sorts of freaky powers?

No way. Nuh huh. Not gonna happen, kid. In your dreams. I mean, what would you make me lose?

[Well...]

No.

No, no, no. Not Nic. No. Not when we've...

Jesus... You're messed up. Seriously. Like that thing with the car. Still not funny.

To be fair, it doesn't look like the majority of that castle's population have 'powers.'

You'd just have to watch what you say to some people 'till you know which is which.

[bountywithrage]

Yeah, well, let's just say I don't feel comfortable regardless, alright? I'm just a guy.

[malebolge]

Aren't we all? I think you're just worrying too much about that group.

I'd say it seems more like that castle itself you should be worried about. [idly glancing at a certain very angry headspace-mate.]

[bountywithrage]

Wouldn't you be worried about folks that can read minds and stuff?

Oh, trust me, don't get me started on that messed-up peice of real-estate, buddy.

[malebolge]

I've got nothing to hide. Should I be?

I'm sure whatever you've got to say about it, you'd fit right in. I'd say a majority of those people have their complaints about it right about now.

[bountywithrage]

I've been with this guy from the start, when there was no crazy castles. Trust me, I know what's going on.

[rune_warlock]

Perhaps you could learn magic?

[Easy for you to say Fenris]

[bountywithrage]

Yeah, no. I'm not one of these 'destined-from-birth' types with special blood or whatever.

I'm just a guy from New York. Nothing special.

[rune_warlock]

A special bloodline wouldn't be necessary. At least, according to the rules of magic in my world. You could perhaps learn it when you arrive at this "magic castle" the residents in this mindspace spoke of.

[bountywithrage]

I thought there was, like, some sorta genetic thing or something.

Welcome to Paradisa. Where you don't get to keep anything you love.

[bountywithrage]

Tell me about it. I'm one of this guy's oldest. I've seen the stuff he's put some of the guys through.

[the_effect_she_has]

It gets better. Slowly. But it does get better.

[bountywithrage]

Yeah... I know. I just...

I dunno. I don't even know what he would make me lose.

[the_effect_she_has]

Well, could be your favorite thing. Could be a memory.

[bountywithrage]

The only thing I can think of is my memories of Nicole.

[the_effect_she_has]

....Well, maybe they won't take that. Maybe they'll just ask for one memory.

[bountywithrage]

Yeah, I don't like my head messed with.

[the_effect_she_has]

None of us do - but at least you won't be alone.

[bountywithrage]

Yeah, well, maybe it... Maybe it won't be so bad.

[the_effect_she_has]

If nothing else, you can help me break things when you're mad.

[somanylyrics]

You lose stuff?

My lady is thinking about sending me there, or some redhead that used to be there once, but....I don't think I wanna go. I mean the place I'm in now is bad enough.

Why do you have to lose something?

[bountywithrage]

I dunno. Some sorta entry fee, I guess. I bet a load of people want theirs back after what just happened.
