[this is our third pc for the week I'm so sorry to Zia and Max]

[HE HAS COFFEE]

The more Fridays I survive, the more I feel like I've turned into a cockroach.

It's in my wheelhouse.

[purrtagonist]

So your wheelhouse is sketchy and dangerous? No wonder we get along.

[concertmaster]

You've met me, right? Of course that's my wheelhouse.

[purrtagonist]

Nope. Never met you before in my life. All this time, I've been talking to an illusion.

[that sass is uncalled for]

[concertmaster]

Something something, everyone's real self is an illusion, blabla masks of society, I'm not doing this shit.

[purrtagonist]

[. . . anyway now he's wondering what Max's Persona would be, so. . .]

Billy the Kid.

[concertmaster]

What.

[purrtagonist]

Your Persona. Billy the Kid. William Henry McCarty, Jr.

[concertmaster]

... Did you pick that literally just because the guy had "the kid" in his name?

[purrtagonist]

No.

[yes]

[concertmaster]

If we're going with shit like that, I want to be Jack the Ripper.

[why]

[purrtagonist]

Jack the Ripper was a serial killer, not a famous literary or historical thief. Denied.

[concertmaster]

Billy the Kid killed like ten people.

[purrtagonist]

But he, at least, was an outlaw.

[LISTEN. . .]

[concertmaster]

So was Jack the Ripper? And he had a cooler name.

[... max]

[purrtagonist]

[just gives him a Look]

[concertmaster]

[what???]

What? He does.

[purrtagonist]

Stop trying to be edgy.

[concertmaster]

Then give me something better than "Billy the Kid".

[purrtagonist]

Carmen Sandiego?

[where in the world is--]

[concertmaster]

Rejected.

[purrtagonist]

Tuxedo Mask.

[what?]

[concertmaster]

[...]

I feel like this is a reference I should object to, but I have no fucking idea who that is.

[purrtagonist]

I guess Sailor Moon is way before your or my time.

[:/a]

[concertmaster]

[......squints]

Wait. I know that one. It's the one with the girls in the super short skirts.
