[Action, Sept 27th Event]

It don't mention you. [He snorts and pulls his out. But he's not handing it over yet.] Not directly, anyway. You got a thing for actin', kid?

[Action, Sept 27th Event]

[selfhelp]

Acting?

[That... is a very out-of-nowhere question. Well, as long as we're being random-]

Not unless people get to take drama classes in prison.

[Action, Sept 27th Event]

[snikting]

... prison? [Now that was some back story.]

[Action, Sept 27th Event]

Mm. [Billy sighs quietly and passes over his card. He shrugged off the gay thing, might as well share the rest. Maybe it'll help answer some questions.] Apparently I'm an escaped convict. I'm thinking I'm a compulsive comic book thief.

[Is that enough drama for your show, "Dad"?]

[Action, Sept 27th Event]

[snikting]

... hell of a thing to get locked up for, kid. And hard to believe. My kid's an ex-con comic book junkie.

[Sounds like sitcom material to him.]

[Action, Sept 27th Event]

I can't think of anything else I could've done to get myself locked up. I don't exactly look the part of a criminal do I?

[Awfully scrawny for an inmate. Plus, you know, the whole underage thing.]

[Action, Sept 27th Event]

[snikting]

Not really. [A pause.] 'course, my card says yer just acting.

[Action, Sept 27th Event]

[selfhelp]

...Acting? Like, "I love you but only when the camera's rolling"? Did we all forget this is a movie or something?

[As if his life-or-fake-life wasn't complicated enough.]

[Action, Sept 27th Event]

[snikting]

[... is he trying to cover?]

More like the kind where everyone's supposed to be playin' a role, except for me, the chump that ain't in on it.

[Action, Sept 27th Event]

[selfhelp]

Yeah, that doesn't sound confusing or anything.

[Too bad he doesn't remember the Truman Show being a thing.]

So you believe it?

[Action, Sept 27th Event]

[snikting]

So far, I ain't even sure I trust the name it gave me.

[But he can't know for sure. It's all he has to go on.]

[Action, Sept 27th Event]

[selfhelp]

I wouldn't really trust mine, either, considering how many they gave me.

[Action, Sept 27th Event]

[snikting]

Yeah. Maybe, just maybe, you'll luck out and not be my kid after all.

[Action, Sept 27th Event]

[selfhelp]

Lucky enough to not be your fake kid?

[He's starting to think it might be a good thing to avoid the whole parental thing, actually.]</small.
