Sessions from Confessions

Session 5 : Lightning

How do I look?

You look good enough to... wow yeah, you look really good. You look nice. Very nice.

There's something I have to ask you. To tell you.

What's that?

I don't. I dont' think I know your name.

I'm Jocelyn. Jocelyn Viyajakar.

Jocelyn, I'm Atlas. Atlas Legalos. Very nice to meet you.

Hello Atlas.

Hello Jocelyn. Let's go get some food. If Zeiss shows up he'll eat all the appetizers.

Ok.

So tell me about Jocelyn Viyajakar. Are you from Legacy Land, did you grow up here?

Well not exactly. I was born here, so I guess that technically makes me from here.

So where's home?

Hmmm... That's a good question

Well where do your parents live?

Here's the funny thing. I don't really know. I never got to know them very well.

You don't know your parents? How is that possible? My parents know entirely too much about me...

I'm not really sure, that's just how it worked out. I went to boarding school. I thought everybody did until a few years ago.

Was that like prison-boarding school?

Almost

Ok, don't look now, but Zeiss is sitting over there.

Did he paint a llama on his chest?

I'm afraid he did.

And the cheerleader?

He only dates cheerleaders.

I guess I turned out to be the better date.

Totally.

So do you have brothers or sisters or anything? You must have some kind of family.

I really have no idea. I don't think so.

Are you like an orphan or something?

No, I don't think so. I mean I think someone would have told me if my parents were dead. We just don't keep in touch.

I don't know if I should feel bad for you, or be incredibly jealous.

Oh it's ok. Normal is what you know, right? And besides, I figure I'll have a big family someday.

A big family eh? How big?

Oh I don't know. Maybe 4 kids. Maybe 10. I don't know. But I won't send them away to boarding school. What about you Atlas Legalos, do you have any brothers or sisters?

This feels like a setup... do I really have to answer this question?
