Tess laughs when Loi drops the apple core, as childish as it is. Because it’s funny. And she probably would have done the same thing. After all, who doesn’t enjoy a good prank? Aside from the people being pranked.
I’d watch your movie. It sounds better than half the crap they put in theatres nowadays. Though, why do you wanna be a sniper? That seems kinda weird. I could picture you being more like an Olympic runner or something.
The Olympics? No way. They wouldn’t take me anyway. I’m too not strict? And only the best of the best can get in. I also haven’t been training for it and even though I could outrun every human on earth and probably most animals, it’s only because I was a Nobody, which is kind of cheating. I mean I’ve outrun dragons before.
Loi stops. That wasn’t entirely true.
Okay, there was a portal, but there was fire and we weren’t supposed to die on this mission. But I’ve outrun a lot of things. And it’s cheating if magic is involved. Sorry, Tess. I don’t get to wear a spiffy outfit.
So I can be a sniper because it looks like a cool job. And I pay attention to things, believe it or not. It’s a goal and once I reach that one, I can pick a new goal. And so on.
It’ll distract me. I need it. Desperately.
Tess has no idea if Loi is telling the truth, or just has a big imagination. Either way she enjoys listening to him talk. Most of the people she knew back at home were simple God-fearing folk. And while that’s not a terrible thing, it was very, very boring for her.
Well it sounds like it’d be fun. But what are you gonna be sniping? Are you gonna go hunting or something? My dad and his friends used to go every summer. And I asked him to take me with them, but my mom didn’t think it was appropriate.
She snorts. Her mom never let her do anything fun. Not after she stood out in a thunderstorm trying to get struck by lightning that one time.
Oh. Zombies. I normally play Running Man to kind of do my part, but there haven’t been zombies for a couple days now. I imagine the Heartless cleared them out, but they should be coming back soon. They are around here all the time. But when badder monsters kill the brain dead ones, it makes for a boring time.
Loi likes Tess. She’s cool.
But I can’t play while I’m blind. If you see some zombies in the next few hours, we should play, but you’ll have to be my eyes. Not like I’d really be at much of a disadvantage. They are slow. Except for when they sprint. But they go like six meters and then fall apart. All you have to do is pop their heads off and they die. That easy.
Would you like to play Running Man with me when some zombies show up? Nobody else likes to play with me.

Tess smiles, taking a bite of her own apple after rubbing it against her jean jacket. It’s quite tasty - even better than the ones her mother used to get from the supermarket that was set up in town every second Saturday.
You’re a really strange guy, Elliot. But in a good way. And funny, too. I’m glad I ran into you up here.
Are you gonna go find the Mr. Miyagi to your Daniel-san, then?
Maybe, but it’ll probably be Lee. You don’t know her. Maybe I could convince her to teach me how to be a sniper, but I have to find her first. Then my journey begins. I just need my voice to stop cracking and then I can practice my movie lines.
Loi smiles wider. Someone besides Zal enjoys his company. This makes him feel better. Maybe everything was not so lost. He has a new goal and a new friend now. Everything is going to be okay…but then he’s crushed by that void again.
Though the spirit hasn’t left his voice.
I’m Elliot. You knew me as the little shit and now I am the Little Shit. Do not forget my name. And then the battle. Or maybe a montage and then a battle. Or a montage of the battle and then the final scene and then applause. It’s going to make a lot of money. Best movie ever.
Written by Elliot Marshall.
Loi eats the rest of his apple and drops the core. It falls all the way down and bonks some poor bloke on the head. There is a sound of despair. Sorry.

Tess really doesn’t understand. He died? How can that be? She’s very confused right now. Maybe he’s just being silly. Except, well, that’s not silly. It’s kind of morbid.
That’s no way to end a story! Haven’t you ever seen a movie before? Jesus.
It seems a bit harsh when she puts it that way though. Especially now that he’s suddenly blind. So she makes up for it by grabbing one of Loi’s hands and putting an apple in it.
Actually, just forget I said that. It was stupid. Sorry.
You don’t have to feel bad for talking about seeing things. It’s just temporary. It’s like when Lancer felt bad for talking about feelings and hearts when we had none. I get it. I’m not offended.
Loi accepts the apple gratefully. He polishes it and takes a bite. They are perfect for picking now. Good. He’ll have to get some later.
As for the end of the movie, I have an epic quest of self discovery to do and internal struggles about whether or not is worth it to seek revenge for the destruction of my people. And then maybe a really cool fight at the end. With lots of explosions.
Loi swallows, realizing how rude he was talking while chewing at the same time.
I haven’t gotten to that part of the saga yet. The journey part. I have to go find a martial arts master first. They don’t have a lot of them around here. Just guns and ground squads.

Tess gives Loi a quizzical look. He’s blind now? But… how can that be? She’s tempted to wave a hand in front of his face, but that’d be rude. She probably shouldn’t question it. Maybe it has something to do with those grey faced guys who seem to pick on everyone else around here. They seem to know a lot.
Besides, she’s more curious about what he means by fixing the kingdom. And this talk of New York city.
You like running too, huh? I love running around and doing stuff! I used to get in trouble at school for running down the hallways, and sliding around in my socks when they waxed the floors in the gym. I can’t help it though. I got a lotta energy.
She pauses again, and grabs the apples. They look pretty tasty - she hasn’t eaten in a couple of hours now.
So, I guess you’re from New York, right? I’ve never been there before. But I’ve watched a lot of movies that take place there. It seems like a cool place.
You wanna tell me about it?
School is stupid. I never liked it. But New York is such a wonderful place. I’m the king of New York. Oh god. So many people everywhere, and all the weird clothes people wore. And all these fabulous bagels. My favorite was an everything bagel with salmon cream cheese. And Central Park was my favorite place to play even though it was really far away from where I lived.
Loi pulls his legs up to his chest. He’s leaving pistachio ice cream off his list of fabulous things. Ice cream is not fabulous anymore.
And there were construction sites all over the city. You could run around forever on them if you had the right skill. There was one right in my neighborhood, and when night time would roll around, I would go running on the frames as they were working on them. I’d go all the way to the top and just sit up there until I had to go home. Or the site guards would catch me.
Loi chuckles.
They could never actually catch me. And then one night, I died and I thought I was never going to see it again. I should have never gone back. They are all dead now.
I’m a king with no throne.
He almost wants to add his bittersweet ending, but it wouldn’t be good for Tess to hear. She doesn’t understand. She wouldn’t. Not if she’s just human.

Tess blinks rapidly. It isn’t usual that someone asks her to keep talking. Usually people tell her to be quiet. Especially her teachers back when she was in school. Oh, and her mom too when they were at church. But Tess doesn’t wanna think about that. So she just shrugs.
Yeeeeah, I know I’m loud. I don’t have a sneaky bone in my body. But that’s okay. I wasn’t meant to be quiet! I was born to make a racket wherever I go. That’s just what I do.
She decides to set the apples down, balancing one on top of the other. It works like a charm because they’re both naturally misshapen, and they fit together like fruity Lego blocks.
Anyways, I was up here because I like climbing stuff. I mean, this is a tree town, so there are TONS of places for me to go climbing around. It’s great! But I only just got here a little while ago, so that’s probably why you haven’t seen me around before.
Wish I woulda found this town sooner. It’s nice here! Real outdoorsy. My kinda place.
Loi smiles. She likes to climb too. This is a good start.
Being quiet only has its advantages at night. It gets loud around here sometimes too. It feels a little louder now but that’s only because I’m blind now. That is also the only reason you won.
Care to fix the kingdom now? I can’t help you find it though. It’s gone forever and there were no survivors. Except for me. But I guess that’s okay.
Loi pauses. It really isn’t okay. But…maybe it is.
You would have loved New York. Lots of places for climbing and running if you know how to do it right. Ladders and rooftops and fences. And the subway, but I try not to go down there if I can help it. I prefer to run everywhere. It’s just faster for me.

Well that escalated quickly. Lee shrugs and steps into the elevator, pressing the ground button. After a moment’s pause she also mutes the all-too-happy elevator music the damn government’s insisted on playing in there. A few seconds later, the doors open with a swish and she steps out again, dry leaves crackling under her feet.
Loi is already waiting for her, though he doesn’t go very close, lest she decide to drag him into the elevator to “face his fears”. Loi doesn’t smile when he sees her. This is going to be a no nonsense trip on the ground, and he can’t be out of hand. Not like he would want to be. He’s supposed to be a brooding mess, and he supposes that he still is.
But he has a distraction. Which helps.
What are we doing on the ground? I thought snipers stayed up there all the time.
I said yer gonna live with me, didn’t I? Home’s down here.
Lee can’t help but give Loi a little proud smile. She’s been holding her ground (pun intended) down here all alone all this time. It’s pretty impressive now that she thinks about it.
You’ve been living on the ground this whole time? Or just…in your time?
Loi turns his nose up at her and sniffs her experimentally. Some of the older Nobodies in the Organization could learn a lot from smelling things. Scents. But Lee doesn’t smell any different. There’s absolutely nothing special about it at all. It was worth a shot though.
I wasn’t sure what I was expecting. Sorry. But…that’s really cool. Have you ever played Running Man while you were down here?
Well, I been livin’ ‘ere ever since the execution. I don’t really wanna think about it much, though. Sorry.
She shrugs.
I dunno what Runnin’ Man is. Explain it to me some other time an’ we’ll see if it’s worth our time.
You’re missing out. I don’t play it that much anymore, but it’s one of my favorite games.
Loi looks down again and his face burns. Nobody liked to play this game with him anyway, so why even bother?
Sorry for making you feel uncomfortable for pretending to die.
’s no big deal. So, explain the game. I’m curious.
Well you’re supposed to wait until there are zombies around before you can play. The point of the game is to run from them and get back into town alive before the snipers kill them. I bend the rules a little bit, because I’m good enough to kick their heads off before I run away.
But I only do a couple and then run. It’s more fun that way. Or it was. I normally played by myself, but I don’t play anymore because I haven’t really wanted to. You’d be good at it. But there’s no guns allowed.
Loi grins a little bit. Since they are down there, why not? Maybe he’ll get bitten if he’s brave enough to do it on purpose.
Wanna play a quick game?
It’s definitely an interesting concept. But it’ll have to wait until later.
Nope. No visitin’ town unless I send you on an errand, in which case I expect you to return immediately when you’ve acquired what I wanted you to get.
Got it? Now then. Cottage is about four miles from ‘ere. I hope yer shoes’re sturdy. If y’complain, five pushups. Easy, right?
Loi takes a deep breath. Four miles? That ain’t nothing. He looks at Lee and then to his shoes. He favorite running shoes. He had just bought them not that long ago after running a bunch of errands for people.
Point the way Lee, I will run everywhere with you.
But he doesn’t actually wait for her to point in any direction, he just takes off, running as fast as he can until he is well out of ear shot. He jumps, spins, twirls and rolls all over the place. He flips a couple times and sticks his landings perfectly. It’s been such a long time since he’s been able to run with this much freedom. It makes his heart explode with joy, but after a few minutes of running around on his own, he strays closer to Lee. He might not provide much conversation for this particular leg of the trip, but he’s in close proximity.

Tess skids to a halt, vaulting herself onto a tree and spinning around the trunk using an arm. All those years of climbing whatever she could get ahold of have paid off. She watches Loi, confused. Why did he stop?
Well, at least she won! There’s always that. Before she heads down, she notices a couple apples hanging nearby. An apple tree? Cool. She grabs them and stuffs them into her pocket, and slides down to land on the same branch where Loi is.
You just wanna talk now? … Well, okay then. I’m pretty good at talking.
She takes a seat, and pulls the apples out of her coat. Maybe she should try juggling them? But she doesn’t want to drop them. So holding onto them might be best.
Oh - I’m Tess by the way. Seeing as I got your name, but you didn’t get mine. It’s short for “tesla coil”.
Sooooo… what d’you wanna talk about? ‘Cause I’m game for anything. As long as I have someone to talk to who doesn’t mind me being super chatty. People get mad at me sometimes, because I go on and on about stuff.
But I can’t help it. Talking is great, y’know? Except when you’re running. I used to talk a lot during soccer, but my coach would get mad at me because I was distracting everybody. Hehe.
Loi sighs.
I don’t know. I’m not very talkative as of late. Why don’t you tell me what you’re doing up in the trees in the first place? I’ve never seen you around before and I spend all my time up here. You’re also really loud. I’d be able to hear you from ten billion worlds away.
He smiles.
Okay, maybe only nine billion worlds.

Tess takes off after Loi like a lightning bolt - pun fully well intended. She leaps, grabbing branches and whatever else she can get her hands on to speed herself along. And the entire time, she’s got a big grin on her face.
She hasn’t met anyone who likes to do this sort of thing since she left home. So she’s determined to win. Because that’s what Tess does - she’s a winner. And she most definitely has what it takes to beat this Elliot guy.
Whoa! Someone who can keep up with him? In this town? Preposterous. Loi slips through some of the branches and falls out of them without warning. Suddenly his vision has gone nearly black, and he loses his his footing in shock.
Magic anoned. Shit.
He throws his hands out and grabs onto a handful of weak branches. They bend considerably under his weight, but Loi’s been doing nothing but running around on these branches for a few months. If there’s one thing he’d ever been good at, it was running. So these trees feel like home. A course he could run blind.
Though he wasn’t trying to do so quite that literally. But he can’t go anywhere now. Shit. He feels along the branch at his feet, crawling along it until he reaches a trunk. And he settles in again.
Alright, newbie. You win by default. The anons got me. So they want me to talk to you. What do you want?
Tess skids to a halt, vaulting herself onto a tree and spinning around the trunk using an arm. All those years of climbing whatever she could get ahold of have paid off. She watches Loi, confused. Why did he stop?

He smiles.
Okay, maybe only nine billion worlds.
