Jokes is leaning against a wall in a back alley entrance in New York. He's drinking out of a flask and holding a smoke in one hand while holding his stomach with the other. His fingers idly tapping the wooden grip of his gun tucked in the waistline of his trousers. Jokes sees you walking by and calls you over. Hey, come over here, have a word and a drink. I always enjoy a good conversation. You can smell the alcohol on his breath and notice his fingers touching his gun. Oh sorry, don’t mind my hand, I have stomach pains. Nothing the docs can do bout it, started keepin’ my hand on it outa habbit over the past couple months. I feel like Napoleon at times heh. But I started keeping my gun in my belt for a quick reach. Gotta make the best of the worst I say. Though now that I think about it, it may have caused a few fights under some misunderstandings… Jokes takes another drag from his smoke, and hits his flask all with his left hand. Le’me ask you somethin’, how’d you get in to the business you’re in? Before you can answer Jokes talks again. I’ll tell you what happened to me, my real family was worthless. You know the classic pity me stories of poverty and abuse. Well forget that, my family was fine I suppose to normal people. Father had money, but that was the problem, he made it legit, so he was always anywhere but home. I hardly knew him. What I did know was that he was a bookworm, always had his nose in ‘em. Crunchin’ numbers and the like. Everyone else had coppers for dads or fire marshals. People you could respect, I couldn’t respect my father at the time. I didn’t recognize intelligence for a good trait to have. It was the power, strength all the things kids get persuaded by that I wished my father had. Jokes takes another drag and tosses his smoke away. My mother wasn’t any better in my eyes, always paying attention to my brothers, I was a middle child you see…always come last, funny how that works. So by the time I was fourteen I finally bolted out there. Nothing dramatic happened, this isn’t the movies. I just felt like I was suffocating. Call it a lack of attention, maybe I felt I wasn’t getting anywhere without it. I dunno. But I ran away, out to the streets. I met some people, did some petty crime. Usual stuff, till I met Premier on a job one day, we got along, so naturally over time he pulled me in to the family. Now they’re the only real family I care about. Jokes downs the rest of the flask and tosses it away. He swiftly lights up another smoke with his left hand. Hey! Here I am rambling like a drunkard, I never caught you’re name? |

| Schizo, realizing that he made the worst mistake of his life and that he is inevitably in the wrong alley at the worst time, slowly starts walking quickly out the entrance of this specific alley, waving along the way. | |
