Maybe everyone's right. After reading the things that has happened between my time and the kid's time, it just seems so...unusual. I knew it was a good idea to take those typewriter lessons, but this is remarkable. I'm fortunate that the kid is good with this new technology, or I'd really be in trouble.
With that said, I miss my time. I must say that the people of this time are somewhat foolish. Just the kind of foolish that'll make my job easy. I wish to apologize to the people that I might have offended, but I stand by my beliefs. Just keep in mind that my thoughts are not, I repeat, not the kid's thoughts. According to the boy, this is my bare essence. No memories, no knowledge, no physical anything, nothing.
Imagine taken from your time, taking the obligation to help and protect a defenseless, clueless boy, seeing the kind of people you've taken for granted, taking you for granted. Not one of you would survive in my time. Especially in Chicago.
I feel like a foreign exchange student. This is how our recent conversation went:
Kevin: "In this era, Guido, men and women are equal. eeeequuuaaaallll. Both genders are seen the same way. ^_^"
Guido: *scratches his head* "E...qual? *groans* Very well...and what about my gun and knife?"
Kevin: "Can't have them. ^_^;"
Guido: "I can't even have the tools to defend myself? I need a drink...hey, liquor is now legal, right?"
Kevin: "Um...not where I am. o_o;"
Guido: "Damn...okay, what else?"
Kevin: "You need to be nice to girls. ^_^"
Guido: "*scoffs* Apparently they aren't under any obligation to return the favor."
Kevin: "Be quiet, Guido. -_-;"
Guido: "On the other hand..."
Kevin: "huh? o_o;"
Guido: *glaces over at the television, that's showing Fear Factor* "Maybe thing's aren't as different as I thought..."
Kevin: "what do you mean?"
Guido: "Hmmm...weaker wills, foolish, prone to corruption through money...yeah, this'll work well..."
Kevin: "You're scaring me, Guido... o_o;"
Guido: "Kid, I'm going to have some fun. Just stand back and watch."
Kevin: "Um...okay...hehe, you're kind of like Dogbert. ^_^"
Guido: "Right...this'll be easier than I thought."
guido,
kevin
