[Voice] Trying Too Hard

[vandalization]

So that's it then. Everything is back to "normal". As normal as this place gets and we're all left a little more fucked up than when we started.

Let's talk, humans, bears, Autobots, Decepticons. We're all people stuck here. Some of us want to be here, some of us don't...

But.

I just want to hear something good.

It doesn't matter if we're friends or not. But I'd like to hear from you.

Have you made friends here?

Would you rather go home or stay? If you want to go home, what is it there that you miss?

What makes you happy?

made one friend
which is kind of amazing considering like
in my 21 years alive i only made like one friend
one real friend
i met him on the same night i died for him which is kind of fucked up but like
dude wa a really good friend
you can maek a friends that good hin a day if you never had one pbefore

but anyway thats not the point the point is tahtt ehre's a guy in this place who could have been from my hometwon and het gets it
but the difference is like
he had friends to help him and thats amazing
i didn't have that and i see the difference
frankly im jealous of him
but hes a cool dude so it s cool

as for going home im dead there like
litereally
when i came here i was in the process of being blown off the top of a 20 story building
even if i could go back theres nothin i could do
i said my piece
i did what i could

as for what makes me happy wow so
im not sure yet?
not much could make me happy at home i was mostly just fuckin angry all the time
but let me think
really good rock and roll
the hum of a motorcycle engine
good friends when i have them
good beer when i can get it (or whiskey)
clean air is pretty fantastic actually

yep

[vandalization]

You get the gold star for creativity.

[lightupthenight]

shit seriously
i wasnt even trying

i am going to wear this gold star on my chest erry day

[vandalization]

Wow, now you're just showing off.

Wear it proud, buddy.

[lightupthenight]

youre talking to a dude who cut off a robots head and wore it as a trophy
and then launched a motorcycle into a building
i am the most self-indulgent bastard on the planet
and yeah a huge showoff

so yeeeep
glad we had this talk

[vandalization]

Yeah you sound like it...

Points for whiskey, though.

[lightupthenight]

have you found any here? or like managed to build a still
because i think thats what this place really needs
a fucking bar
not that we have anything to actually ferment or whatever

[vandalization]

I have some, yeah.

And there's a bar in the works from what I hear.

[lightupthenight]

if you share you are my new best friend
seriously

yeah but its probably gonna be full of robots
i cant fucking stand robots

ill just have to build my own bar
whichll be totally rad

[vandalization]

I might...

You don't like robots? They're just people, you know. Least the ones here are.

[lightupthenight]

sorry
old habits die hard
where im from they basically killed everybody i ever gave a damn about
then kept the whole city i lived in locked down
blind deaf and dumb
all sheep and slaves to the machine
so scared of being killed for speaking out that none of 'em dared even breathe
i mean granted
where im from one man controlled em
one man turned the wheels
but im never not gonna be uneasy around the bastards
even the best ones like
that singing guy hes okay
but i dont think i could ever hang out with him in person
id be too on edge

[vandalization]

Uh... Christ, man.

[lightupthenight]

yeah sorry to ramble / unload on you like that
haha it's like idk now that i know i can say it
without somebody coming after me
its like fuck man tell it to the crowd

sorry im prolly boring you right?
should stop rambling
