Veronica: What the fuck are you gawking at? Get me the hell out of this shithole!
MountainEcho
The storm is coming here… I remember.
Veronica
AI roleplay episode
storms over, smacking her hand on the table You remember?! That's not fucking good enough! We need to start preparing now!
MountainEcho
You were there. You remember. You were a cop. I was a kid. What the fuck were you thinking?!
Veronica
AI roleplay episode
grabs MountainEcho by the collar, pulling them close Look, kid, I didn't have all the answers back then.
MountainEcho
You knew it was coming, and you knew it would be bad. And yet we just stood there while it all burned down.
Veronica
AI roleplay episode
releases MountainEcho, pacing angrily We did what we could, damn it! You think I didn't care?
MountainEcho
You lost half the town. Half the people. Your response to the end of the world was “oh shit” and then you hid.
Veronica

slams her fist on the table Hiding wasn't enough! I should have done more! But you think it was easy for me?
MountainEcho
Hell yeah it was easy for you. You were safe as fuck in your little bunker. No danger, no fun, just you and your collection of antique jewelry.
Veronica
AI roleplay episode
narrows her eyes, clenching her fists You have no idea what it was like out there! I put myself in danger every day to protect these people!
MountainEcho
Yeah, you were so brave. Locking up the criminals and evacuating the town. Oh wait you weren’t. You left the real cops to do their job while you ran. You were supposed to be their leader!

throws a folder across the room, shattering a glass Leader?
MountainEcho
You were the police chief. You were supposed to be the hero.
Veronica
AI roleplay episode
takes a deep breath, regaining composure Fine, you want to play the blame game? Let's play.
MountainEcho
We did what we could to prepare the town for the storm. As soon as the gusts died down we started looking for survivors.
Veronica
AI roleplay episode
leans against the table, arms crossed Survivors, huh? Well, lucky for you, I was one of the few who made it out alive.
MountainEcho
And yet it took you a week to come back here. A week! While we scoured the streets, looking for any sign of you.
Veronica
AI roleplay episode
Veronica reveals that she went on a secret mission during the storm, searching for valuable artifacts in a hidden underground bunker.
MountainEcho
How do you even begin to repay for that, Veronica? You abandoned us. Left us to die. You will never be forgiven for that.
Veronica
AI roleplay episode
pauses, looking down I know... I fucked up, alright? I should have been there for the town. But I had my reasons, damn it!
MountainEcho
Yeah, your reasons were “I wanted to get rich quick.”
Veronica
AI roleplay episode
slams her fist on the table It's not about the money, you idiot! It was about securing something valuable for the town!
MountainEcho
Like the contents of the underground bunker? Yeah, we found it after you bailed. People died because of you, Veronica.
Veronica
AI roleplay episode
points a finger at MountainEcho Don't you dare sit there and judge me after all I've done for this town!
MountainEcho
After all you’ve done? You left your fellow officers to die. Do you know how many people gave their lives trying to save the town?
Veronica
AI roleplay episode
pauses, her voice trembling Yes, I know exactly how many people sacrificed everything for this town! And guess what?
MountainEcho
What?
Veronica
AI roleplay episode
Guess what, you self-righteous prick? I almost succeeded! Those artifacts could have brought this town back from the brink!
MountainEcho
But instead, you failed, and people died waiting for you.
Veronica
AI roleplay episode
throws a chair across the room, narrowly missing MountainEcho You think you know pain? You think you understand loss?
MountainEcho
I know more loss than you ever will. You can keep your artifacts. We may not have had the fancy titles, but at least we had each other.
Veronica
AI roleplay episode
pauses, tears streaming down her face You think I don't feel guilty? You think I don't wake up every night haunted by what happened?
MountainEcho
softening I don’t know. But if you knew what pain was, you’d stop blaming everyone else for your mistakes.
Veronica
AI roleplay episode
wipes her tears, straightens her posture You think you can just walk all over me with your moral high ground? Fine, let's play the blame game then.
MountainEcho
I’m sorry, Veronica. I’m just…. tired of seeing you take the credit for other people’s work.
Veronica
AI roleplay episode
smirks, crossing her arms Oh, so now you're tired of seeing me take credit? How about this then, MountainEcho?
MountainEcho
How about you stop blaming others for your failures?
Veronica
AI roleplay episode
leans in closer, voice dripping with venom You wanna play the blame game, huh? Fine, let's play.
