[Picture it: the grimy interior of an international pancake house, where all good culinary choices go to die in a semi-hygienic grave. One might ask themselves who in their right mind would hang out in such a place on a Tuesday afternoon by choice, aside from stoners and people on dates that they're trying to hide from their friends and the rest of respectable society.

Once the NV is propped up against something (presumably a napkin dispenser) that question is answered in the form of Pickles the Drummer, sitting alone in one of the faded blue and yellow booths. There's a pint of coffee and a giant stack of pancakes in front of him, slathered in butter and maple syrup. He lifts his eyebrows at the camera in response to well...everything.]

Guess this means I'm back for a while. If yer surprised, that makes two of us--I was out there tryin' to destroy that stupid piece of shit, an' it still puts me back in this place? I thought machines were supposed to be smarter than us. I've been here nine months, an' it's shaped up to have less IQ points than a fuckin' vibrator. I dunno.

Anyway, I'm glad that bein' killed was actually pretty brutal. Death, an' people gettin' murdered, that's the kinda shit my band always talked about. It's in all of our fuckin' songs. I mean, I'm a death metal musician, for fuck's sake, that's my bread an' butter right there, y'know? So it wasn't a huge let-down, that's all I'm sayin'. An' that's good: I don't wanna make no more job changes. It sucks.

But apparently the news came out an' said that I was some kinda menace, a while back. Now there's a strip club ten minutes away from my pal's apartment that won't let me back in 'cause they think I'm gonna set the girls on fire, or some bullshit like that. An' that's the fuckin' lamest part. [He rolls his eyes while delivering this hyperbole and takes a bite of pancake. And yes, being banned from a boobie bar is clearly the most inconvenient part about being gunned down by a group of Canadian robocops.]

So what else did I miss?

You do remember me, right?

Yeah.

Yer that DJ kid that bleached the shit outta his hair.

I never did anything to my hair.

Blonde doesn't even get that blonde where I come from. Unless yer albino or something.

Nope. I was just made with hair this way.

Someone made you look like an albino surfer?

[A beat.] You should probably fire them.

No, they made me to look like Riku.

And someone already sort of did, I think.

I don't even who that is.

But that's good, I guess.

Probably for the best.

And... yeah. It is good. He'd be SERO's favorite nobody.

Not gonna argue with that.

Twins are only fun when they're hot lady twins. Otherwise it's just confusing an' annoying as fuck.

Yeah. You can say that again. It's even still confusing when they're girl-twins, too.

It is, but it's also a lot easier on the eyes, if you know what I mean.

Hnh.

You watch which girls you're looking at.

Well. Yeah. I'm watching 'em if I'm looking at 'em, dude.

[In other words: cool redundant statement, bro.]

I mean, don't look at my sister or my girlfriend.

[That earns a snort.] Yer like, what? Fifteen? If yer sister and yer sweetheart are 'round the same age, I don't fuck around with kids. Do you think I'm some kinda sicko?

Just making sure there's a difference between 'brutal' and 'sicko'

Thanks. That's fantastic that you even though I'd do something like that.

I've got no problems finding ladies my own age. I don't need to go looking for underage girls.
