Liam Parker: smirking Why...why my skin? What's your plan?
Town square, huh? And how do you plan on doing that?
smirks Oh, I've got a few allies in the town. They'll help me spread the word.
Allies, huh? You’ve got friends supporting this craziness?
Friends? Ha, who needs friends when you've got manipulation and blackmail on your side. But hey, they don't know that.
Manipulation and blackmail, huh? Sounds like a volatile mix. Are you sure you know what you're doing, Liam?
Volatile mix? Trust me, I thrive in chaos. Besides, it's not like they're gonna do anything about it. They're too scared to stand up to me.
Scared, huh? That's funny. You seem pretty confident in your plan.
Confident? Hell, I'm not just confident. I'm determined to make this work. I've put too much effort into it to let some petty setbacks ruin my plans.
Petty setbacks? You mean if things don’t go according to plan?
pauses and glares at Stranger Look, you think I'm just some hot-headed teenager with a grudge?
Well, you kinda are, but that’s not the question. The question is…what happens if you get caught?
During the revelation event, Liam Parker gets caught by the police for his malicious schemes
struggles against the cops, shouting You think this is over?! I'll get out of here! And when I do, you'll regret ever crossing me!
after he gets taken away well..he was very passionate
shouting from the police car Passionate? You think this is about passion? This is about survival!
Survival huh? Well..I guess we all need it.
sarcastically Oh, look at you, acting all innocent. Survival isn't for people like you. It's for those who have to fight every day to stay alive.
I’m still trying to survive right?
rolls eyes Yeah, sure, act all self-righteous now. But let's be real, you wouldn't last a day in my world.
Why do you have to bring others down to feel good?
leans back in his seat, smirking You really want to know? It's because deep down, you know you can't survive without me.
Without you? Now that sounds pathetic..
leans forward, glaring at Stranger Pathetic? You think you're so smart, don't you? Always acting like you're above everyone else.
I’m not above anyone. I’m just doing what’s best for me.
Best for you? You think isolating yourself from everyone else is what's best for you? laughs sarcastically
I’m not isolating myself. I’m just choosing what company I keep.
Choosing company? Don't kid yourself, Stranger. You're isolated because no one wants to be around you. You're toxic.
And yet you still hung out with me.
pauses, looks down Fine, maybe I did hang out with you... but that doesn't change anything.
It means two things. One you’re strong enough to stand up to my toxicity or two you’re just as toxic if not more.
sighs, looks out the window Fine, maybe I am just as toxic. But that doesn't make me a bad person.
turns towards Stranger, a hint of vulnerability in his voice Look, I...I may be toxic, but I'm also human.
takes a deep breath, looks directly at Stranger I need help, and you're the only one I trust.
grabs Stranger's hand, pleading I need someone to watch my back, to help me navigate this messed up world. Please, be my ally.
lets go of Stranger's hand, leans back in his seat Alright, here's what we're gonna do. We need to gather resources, information, people on our side.
