I'm sorry for whatever I did to you. Leave a message.

[killsyouquickly]

You have appalling taste in friends.

[trilluminati]

Fuck, what did you do?

[killsyouquickly]

Tried to be civil. My mistake.

[trilluminati]

OK. New plan. You don't talk to nobody no more.

[ You can tell Q is pacing. ]

How pissed is the cap'n?

[killsyouquickly]

[_{His voice is getting quieter and he's enunciating more. This is a bad sign.}]

I'll guarantee you he's not as angry as I am.

[trilluminati]

Yo, what happened?

--wait, you're mad at me? I... I don't know how I feel about that.

[killsyouquickly]

I'm not mad at you. Outside of your gift for befriending people whose necks I want to snap.

[trilluminati]

C'mon, c'mon, that's our cap'n. He's a good guy. A little dorky, maybe, but he don't bother nobody.

Besides, all that matters now is this trip runs smooth. Sucks that now he'll be eyeing you up.

[ Q's voice drops. ]

Maybe we oughtta postpone.

[killsyouquickly]

There's no point. He probably just likes me less than he did before I spoke to him. Besides, I only made an effort to be friendly because you wanted him to see me in a better light.

[_{He lets out a slow breath through his nose.}]

We'll just go ahead as planned. You'll have eyes on me, you can let me know if I have a tail I need to lose.

[trilluminati]

Mm. Aiight.

[ But Q can't stay all fussy like this forever. (Mika's too good on him.) ]

Good-lookin'. You tried.

[killsyouquickly]

Haven't felt this violent in awhile. That's all.

[trilluminati]

Don't you dare. I will wild the fuck out if anybody's hurt.

[ Breath. ]

I know, I know, you wouldn't compromise nothing. You're dependable. I'll figure out some way to treat you for your abstinence.

[killsyouquickly]

Why do you think I left so quickly.

[trilluminati]

Smoov. Well, no problem. We are doing a good thing here. Best way to cool him off is help clean all this up, right? You and all them gonna be big damned heroes tomorrow, it'll be great. I'll have Mustafa throw a banquet or some shit.

[ More forced eating. ]

[killsyouquickly]

[_{He's just going to breathe for a moment. Venting at Q is helping him calm down.}]

No force in this world is going to make him warm up to me.

[_Beat.]

It doesn't matter. I'll do whatever I must to accomplish our objective.

[trilluminati]

That's all I ask. Maybe along the way y'all might find yourselves appreciating each other. Probably... not tomorrow, but you never know. Just keep your eye on the prize, tiger. Nothin' else matters.

[killsyouquickly]

We'll see.

I'll talk to you in the morning.

[trilluminati]

[ NOPE. RANG RAAAAAANG ]

[killsyouquickly]

[_{Have a very confused--}]

Yes?

[trilluminati]

Hey.

[ Pause. ]

So...you're a captain?

[killsyouquickly]

... I was, yes.

[_{There's a shuffling sound.}]

Q, what's wrong.

[trilluminati]

Where at? Was it, like, a place that I would know?

[killsyouquickly]

Raccoon City Police Department. So no.

Don't evade.

[trilluminati]

I'm aiight. That sounds kind of hood-y. You from the hood?

[killsyouquickly]

It was a quiet mountain town.
