Is it that time of year again already?

You know, talk about needing better warden communication or food or security as much as you want, I'd honestly settle for a more consistent way to contact home and never complain about anything going on here again.

... Maybe.

Scary, then? Dangerous?

Why'd you become a cop, anyway? I've never known a cop personally - in TV and movies, people either become cops because everyone in their family is or because they're damaged.

I don't know. I mean, I liked my job, but constantly answering calls about people getting mugged or sexually assaulted or seriously injured by some idiot with a weapon isn't exactly fun.

And I started because Bludhaven needed people on the force who weren't on the payroll of some mob boss. And I thought I could do some good.

Mister Optimism himself, huh?

How was that working out for you?

[private]

[batmanschmatman]

That's what they call me.

It was going alright, until the city was destroyed. That's why I'm here.

[private]

[buildindreemz]

Destroyed? How?

[private]

[batmanschmatman]

A nuclear warhead was dropped on the city.

[buildindreemz]

Jesus, what kind of world do you come from?

[private]

[batmanschmatman]

One where that doesn't happen all that often.

[private]

[buildindreemz]

I'm sorry. [She pauses.] Did you have a lot of family there?

[private]

[batmanschmatman]

No. I moved there a few years ago, the rest of my family didn't come with.

[private]

[buildindreemz]

But you probably had friends there, right?

[private]

[batmanschmatman]

Yeah, I did.

[private]

[buildindreemz]

Well, I'm sorry. I can't even imagine what that must be like.

[private]

[batmanschmatman]

I hope you never have to find out.

[private]

[buildindreemz]

Are you trying to save them? Is that why you're here?
