[There is a one-eyed man wandering around Mayfield, looking a little strange while doing so. He's dressed like some kind of old-fashioned mobster, and more than once is stumbling over his own feet, as though he's not used to his own height. His left eye appears to be entirely gone, and in its place is what appears to be a bloody wad of

[He hesitates before answering; he really isn't up for talking about this. But he's not going to just ignore Slick like he's a sulking wiggler.]

Why do you want to know?

[made_this_town]

Because I want to know why I'm killing him, that's why.

.....other than the usual reasons.

[crusthatecean]

Oh.

[Wow, okay, he is kind of deeply touched right now that Slick would bother avenging them. So he's going to sound as stoic and leaderly about this as he can.]

You should kill him for the other reasons, we knew what we were getting into. It's basically what he said over the audiohook. We stole some of his shit for our own gain. We knew he'd fly off the handle on us for it, but it was worth it for what we could and did get out of it.

[made_this_town]

So what, now you're just gonna roll back and accept the consequences? Fuck that, kid. The whole point of stealing shit is to get away with it.

But he went too far. He messed with your woman. So now, you and me, we're gonna get him back.

Yeah, I haven't even introed yet. Sorry, couldn't resist...

[So Deuce woke up in a strange house with no memory of how he got there. Last thing he remembers is being in the Felt mansion. And something about putting bombs in the oven. But that's clearly not important right now. After poking around the house, he's been wandering around the town. Which has really been redecorated. Very quickly. Hmm... maybe he got into a fight and was knocked into next week... And hey look, a grocery store. He was kind of hungry anyway~ He's in the next aisle looking at candy when he hears a very familiar voice.]

Boss?

[Peeking from the end of the aisle curiously.]

[blink. blink.]

Deuce? What the fuck are you doin' here?

[admiresclocks]

Lookin' at candy.

[Yeah, he doesn't even remember what he was up to before that.]

What are you doin'?

[made_this_town]

Planning a murder. [You know, same old, same old.] Did you just show up here, Deuce? Anyone told you the ropes about where we are?
