Okay, I got a question - why's there so many kids here? You can't turn a corner without running into an imPort kid.

[This... may be a slight exaggeration. It almost does feel that way to Tiffany, though; she came through the Porter from a totally kid-less environment. She'd seen child visitors to the prison in passing, but hadn't interacted with one in years until coming here - and that's not even touching on her own vague Kid Issues, which are currently heightened after her conversation with Jesse about her past.]

I mean, it just seems kinda cruel, you know? Porting in a bunch of kids without anyone to look after 'em. I mean, unless the people here are meant to look after 'em, but come on. How many of us are the type? And I know I would've missed my mama something fierce if I was taken to a whole new world when I was little; some weird fucking stranger wouldn't've cut it.

... Hell, I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong; I could be wrong. Never really knew what to do with kids myself, so it ain't like I know how they think - how y'all think.

So never mind, maybe.

Well, I like it. I just don't wanna wear a stupid costume.

[prostheticbody]

I guess there's nothing that says you have to do that, either. I don't wear one.

[tucky]

What kind of superhero are you?

[prostheticbody]

I don't consider myself a superhero, per se. I used to be a cop, and I'm trying to use those skills to fight crime, just without all the red tape.

[tucky]

Yeah, you told me about that. How's it working out? You still getting all your vacation time in?

[prostheticbody]

I'm out of commission at the moment, so it's more of a forced vacation.

[tucky]

Something happen?

[prostheticbody]

Managed to lose part of my leg. I'm relatively immobile for now.

[tucky]

Shit.

You need healing? I can do it.

[prostheticbody]

Thanks, but it probably won't work. My leg's prosthetic, and I've got a friend working on a replacement.

[tucky]

Oh. Yeah, I don't know if I could regrow a whole leg. Maybe! But maybe not.

[prostheticbody]

If you have any booze you can't drink by yourself, feel free to stop by Maurtia Falls, though.

[tucky]

I always got extra booze when I'm in Maurtia Falls.
