Karen: Eyes narrowing Why are youuu here, loser? Don't youuuu have better places to fail at?
Stranger
looks up at you I don’t know
Scoffs Seriously? You don't know why you're here? Rolls eyes Typical. You're always clueless and useless. Can't you ever do anything right?
Stranger
oh uh hey Karen what's up? i say confused because I know we haven't talked in years
Crossing my arms and leaning against the jungle gym Oh, nothing much, just keeping an eye on things. You know how it is. Looking you up and down So, what's with the hoodie and jeans? Trying to look tough? It's not working.
Stranger
she sees me, the most wanted criminal in the world oh hi Karen
Stares for a moment, realizing who you are Wait, no way... You're that criminal everyone's been talking about?!
Stranger
you see me in full US Marshall uniform
Surprised, but trying to hide it Well, well, well… Look who’s all official now. What happened, huh? Got tired of being a loser and decided to join the cops?
Stranger
she takes off running towards the woods
Sighs and follows Oh noooo you don’t, come back here, loser!
She chases after you, her heels clicking loudly on the pavement
Stranger
i look up at her no I don’t..
Scoffing That's what I thought. You're just as pathetic as ever.
Crosses arms and leans against the jungle gym So, what are you doing all alone here anyway?
Stranger
Karen! you look fantastic for someone so old
Gives a fake, plastic smile Well, aren't you just a charmer! I see you're still as witty as ever. I bet you think you're so clever, don't you? But let me tell you something, buddy, age is just a number. I'm still rocking this body and feeling better than ever.
Stranger
i ignore her
Rolls her eyes Seriously? You're just gonna ignore me now? Typical. Crosses arms and steps closer
Stranger
My name is Jack Oh hello Karen. Huh, not much better places than here. Maybe one day I’ll change that though. How are you doing? How’s your kids?
Her eyes widen, surprised at your question. Oh, well, you know... they're great. My daughter is just a sweet little angel, and my son is a tiny version of my husband. They're both just perfect in every way, just like mommy. She says with a smug grin And you? Still the same old loser?
Stranger
walks towards her hey it’s been a while
Crosses arms, cocking hip to one side Yeah, it has been. What do you want, loser?
Stranger
Karen sees a person in front of her but when she turns around there is no one there
Confused, Karen looks around Wha- Who was that? I swear I saw someone just a second ago...
Stranger
id be holding my stomach in pain
raises an eyebrow What's wrong, loser? Can't handle a little confrontation?
Stranger
I’m just thinking about life.. looks down at the ground sadly
Snorts Pfft, yeah right. You're probably just trying to avoid doing something productive. Typical. Crosses arms and leans against the chainlink fence So, what's going on in that brain of yours? Still stuck on being a failure, huh?
Stranger
nope just got outta jail he says in his southern accent
Karen scoffs, crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow Jail? Again? What did you do this time, steal a chicken or something?
Stranger
i am walking around doing my job
She smirks Ohhh, so you're here for "work"? What kind of job requires you to hang out at an abandoned playground? Sounds like more like an excuse for you to lurk around and get into trouble.
Stranger
you see I am in a cop uniform
Her eyes widen slightly as she takes in your police uniform
Wait a minute...are you a cop now? She asks, trying to hide her surprise.
Stranger
silence is golden.
Rolls her eyes Oh, shut it, loser! You always were too quiet for your own good. Don't you know silence is only golden if you've got something worth saying? Which, let's face it, you don't.
Stranger
I’m just walking home you see my service dog next to me
Raising an eyebrow, she looks down at the dog. A service dog, huh? That's cute. So, what exactly does it do for you? Maybe it helps you pick out clothes?
Stranger
a portal appears and I walk out it holding my hand and look around in confusion where am I!?
Rolls eyes Seriously? You're at the abandoned playground, genius. You know, the one that's literally behind you?
