... That doesn't seem normal.

Did you have a shitty childhood, or what? In my experience, beating the shit out of people is definitely a 'bad childhood' vibe, dude.

[rocinantes]

Something like that.

It wasn't a great childhood, no.

[kingoftherats]

Eh, yeah, well. I guess we can like... start a secret 'shitty childhood' club.

That's where being weird comes from, half the time. Shitty childhoods.

I think that's what shrinks tell you, anyway.

[rocinantes]

Never seen one of those. A shrink, I mean.

( god, that would be the worst. )

They couldn't handle me.

[kingoftherats]

Yeah, the last time I went to a therapist chick, she was okay, but that was one visit, and I think I weirded her out too much. So I think it's the same for me. But whatever, man, I'll just keep huffing spray cans and all that shit.

... I cut back on it a little, though! Healthier lifestyle!

[rocinantes]

Huffing spray cans? What kind of high does that get you?

( he's not judging, he's curious. )

[kingoftherats]

Oh, uh. It's the dopamine thing. You just feel like — amazing. You know?

Everything just kind of fades out, and you get all empty-headed.

...

But you shouldn't do it; that shit can kill you.

[rocinantes]

Yeah, I think I'll —

I think I'll skip that. Stick to booze and all.

[kingoftherats]

Ha. Twinsies!

Come by the pub, I'll make sure you're covered, dude.

[rocinantes]

All right.

Maybe sometime this week. I'll be there.
