[Looks like you're back to having young Mr. D'Amico back amongst your ranks. Aren't you glad? he looks very distraught, and it's clear when he's talking that he's having trouble forming his thoughts.]

What the fuck even happened? I-- How was it that I was here from the future but... I remember it! I fucking remember everything, I remember the things I said! How does that even work? How is that possible? I-- [He quickly rubs face with a hand, trying to regain composure.] I didn't wanna know how fucked I was gonna be ahead of time. Goddamn you Initiative fuckheads.

[The video snaps off quickly after this. Housemates will find him storming out of the house quickly. Guess where he's heading! Yep, to a bar. But he won't be having a good time or stirring up trouble like usual. He'll be sitting alone on a stool, several empty glasses on the bar in front of him, looking unusually gloomy. Care to approach?]

I imagine what you learned of yourself wasn't particularly what you were expecting?

[charming_jerk]

What was your first clue. [Stately rather flatly and quietly]

[bittertears]

A surprisingly accurate guess.

Why couldn't they've swapped me out with my younger self? I know how shitty my childhood was already.

[bittertears]

Would you really wanted to repeat that instead?

video;

[charming_jerk]

Yeah. Least with that, I would've known what I was in for.

[bittertears]

And what would that be, exactly?

Ya really wanna know about my shitty life as a half demon in an all-human world?

[bittertears]

I can pay attention to an interesting story.

video;

[charming_jerk]

It ain't interesting. Have the short version. I'm half-demon in a place where there aren't any others around, almost know one knows demons even actually exist, and put up with a lifetime of abuse just cuz of lookin' the way I do. The end.

If there are none like you, as you previously mentioned, then how exactly did came to be? Did your parents have different origins?

[charming_jerk]

Mom's human, dad's the demon, but I never met him. I managed to meet one other demon who said half-breeds are hunted down and killed. He didn't care to, but eventually, other ones caught on to me. I was runnin' from 'em for a few months back home, and apparently I just keep doin' that for eleven more years.

That you've managed to stay alive for so long in the face of such adversity doesn't mean anything to you?

video;

[charming_jerk]

[He's silent for a moment.]

...

I dunno. Too stubborn to stay alive, or too stupid to not die. Ain't sure which.

[bittertears]

And what about "too resourceful to get caught"?

video;

[charming_jerk]

Maybe. They've caught me a few times, but they haven't been able to keep hold 'a me yet. They keep underestimating me.

[bittertears]

A costly mistake, I'm sure.
