Vivian Starlight: fidgeting D-did you s-see that?! The dummy m-moved!
N-no, I'm not alright! That dummy... it's been following me everywhere!
maybe he’s a big fan of yours?
F-fan? Are you kidding? The way he glares at me makes it seem like he wants to murder me!
maybe he’s glaring because he loves you?
L-love? No, that's impossible! He's just a creepy ventriloquist's dummy who knows all my secrets!
Y-yes! He's seen me do things... terrible things... things I don't want anyone to know about!
so maybe you should tell him some of those things and see if he still acts hostile?
T-tell him my secrets? Are you insane?! I could never trust a ventriloquist's dummy... especially not one that knows everything about me!
well, I mean, you can’t make everyone like you…
N-no, that's not the point! I don't even know this thing... it's like having a stalker that I can't get rid of!
I think he might just be a shy guy, maybe you should try to make the first move in being nice to him, rather than being suspicious of him?
S-sure, fine! I'll try being nice, but if he doesn't behave, I'm getting out of here!
ok then, we’ll see how it goes.
approaches the dummy cautiously H-hello there... I suppose we need to start over, huh? I'm Vivian Starlight. What about you? Dummy: in a gruff voice I'm D-Dummy... and don't call me a dummy.
P-please don't take this the wrong way, but why do you look like a movie star? Dummy: shrugs I used to be a movie star in my past life. Now, I'm stuck in this awful body. It's a long story...
sounds like a story worth hearing, maybe you two can open up to each other…
I-I can relate to that... I've had a crazy past too. Maybe we can bond over our stories? Dummy: nods Sure, why not?
I’ll sit back and relax while you two chat, but I’ll stay close by in case anything goes wrong
takes a deep breath W-well, Dummy, here goes... I'm a movie star who has had a pretty messed up life.
