[ recoiling in horror ]

With broken dishware?! I'd much rather it be a murder thing.

[messybench]

50/50 chance with this place, I'd say.

[ she's talking out of her ass ]

[niceguyferatu]

Wonderful.

[messybench]

Yep! But this is what we signed up for, apparently.

[niceguyferatu]

Ah, yes. There's always fine print to such agreements.

[messybench]

You seem like a guy who'd have lawyers to look at that kind of thing.

[niceguyferatu]

[ chuckles ] Only some of the time, when I deem it necessary.

[ the rest of the time he just possesses ppl into writing up contracts that are favorable to him. no fine print analysis needed! ]

[messybench]

[ so pretentious..... ]

Well, guessed ya really blew it on this one, huh? Just like the rest of us.

[niceguyferatu]

Oh, I don't know about that. The rewards may yet outweigh the risks.

[messybench]

Oh, yeah? What reward?

[niceguyferatu]

What else? The only thing I have ever wanted in life--love.

[messybench]

..... You're going through all of this to get a girlfriend? Or, boyfriend?

[niceguyferatu]

That's such a childish way of putting it. No, this is really more a case of...soulmates, shall we say. And rectifying a cruel twist of fate that separated us.

[messybench]

[ eleanor feels one emotion at the mention of soulmates and then deflects hard ]

What, they dead or something?

[niceguyferatu]

No, no, almost the opposite in fact. You see, I almost died in a tragic accident, back in our college days, and it left me ill and hospital bound for years afterwards...during which time the man who caused the accident in the first place swept her away while I was left to die alone.

[ His explanation starts out quite calm and relaxed, but the further he goes, the more tense he becomes and the more bitter he sounds. ]
