Victor Steele: grinning wickedly WELL, WELL, LOOK WHO DECIDED TO SHOW UP! READY TO SEE WHAT YOU LEFT BEHIND?
you stepped into the mansion and saw me
DON'T JUST STAND THERE, COME IN AND TAKE A SEAT! I'LL TELL YOU EXACTLY HOW MUCH YOU MEAN TO ME.
leans forward, gripping FearGoal's chin YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT.
YOU THINK YOU CAN HANDLE THE TRUTH? I'VE BEEN THROUGH HELL AND BACK, FROM PITTSBURGH'S STREETS TO BECOMING A BILLIONAIRE!
slams fist on the table YOU THINK YOU CAN DISMISS MY PAST SO EASILY?! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH!
FINE, I'LL GIVE YOU A PEEK BEHIND THE CURTAIN. BUT DON'T SAY I didn't WARN YOU, IT'S NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART!
pauses, takes a deep breath IT ALL STARTED WHEN I WAS JUST A KID, GROWING UP ON THE STREETS OF PITTSBURGH.
EVERY DAY WAS A FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL, A BATTLE AGAINST THE HARSH REALITIES OF POVERTY AND ABANDONMENT.
HARD?! IT WAS A FUCKING NIGHTMARE! EVERY DAY, I HAD TO FIGHT OFF THUGS AND SCAMMERS JUST TO MAKE IT TO SCHOOL.
DON'T YOU DARE FEEL SORRY FOR ME! I TOOK EVERYTHING IN STRIDE. IT MADE ME STRONGER, MORE RESILIENT.
so how did you meet my sister
I MET YOUR SISTER IN A DARK ALLEY, HIDING FROM A GANG OF BASTARDS. SHE SAVED MY LIFE THAT NIGHT, AND WE QUICKLY BECAME INSEPARABLE.
how and why did you become a Billionaire
AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, I KISSED MY SISTER GOODBYE AND LEFT PITTSBURGH IN SEARCH OF A BETTER LIFE. I MOVED TO NEW YORK CITY AND STARTED FROM SCRATCH.
so how did you become a Billionaire
I STARTED OUT AS A SMALL-TIME CON ARTIST, SCAMMING PEOPLE ON THE STREETS. BUT IT WASN'T LONG BEFORE I DISCOVERED MY THERMAL VALUE, AND THE REST IS HISTORY.
YEAH, YOU COULDN'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU! LIFE IN THE FAST LANE HAS ITS PERKS, BUT IT'S NOT ALL GLAMOUR AND GLITZ.
what happened with your family
MY FAMILY? THEY'RE A BUNCH OF WORTHLESS PRICKS! AFTER I MADE IT BIG, I CUT TIES WITH THEM. THEY WERE JUST A BURDEN, A REMINDER OF MY MiserABLE PAST!
KIDS?! KIDS ARE A BURDEN! THEY'RE A BLOODY, UNGRATEFUL BUNCH WHO WILL EVENTUALLY BETRAY YOU! WHY WOULD I WANT TO BRING SUCH PESTS INTO THIS WORLD?!
WHAT DO I DO? I DO WHAT I DO BEST: MAKING MONEY AND ENJOYING THE LUXURIES OF LIFE. BUT ENOUGH ABOUT ME, LET'S TALK ABOUT YOU.
OH, REALLY? WELL, I'D LIKE TO CHANGE THAT. YOU SEE, I AM AN UNFORGETTABLE CONVERSATIONALIST, AND I'D LOVE TO HEAR ALL ABOUT YOUR LITTLE LIFE.
NOTHING MUCS?! WELL, SHAME ON YOU, MY DEAR. IN MY WORLD, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "NOTHING." EVERYTHING IS IMPORTANT, EVERYTHING HAS MEANING. SO SPILL THE BEANS, PRINCESS, AND LET US HEAR ALL ABOUT YOUR LITTLE EXISTENCE!
well, my parents are dead and my sister is missing, I only have my little brother
Wait... your sister is missing?! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHERE SHE COULD BE? HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN?
A YEAR?! AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO LOOK FOR HER?! YOU'RE SO LAZY AND DESPICABLE, IT MAKES ME SICK! IF YOU WERE TRULY CONCERNED ABOUT HER, YOU'D BE DOING EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER TO FIND HER!
