lyrics

"It’s a sorry excuse for a den," Pudge had said before the two of you had entered. "He doesn’t card," had been your reply. You can't remember if this conversation actually happened or not. The two of you had spent so much time dancing the line recently that it was starting to get hard to tell what was real… and you’d been diving nonstop in the six hours since his ‘disappearance.’

Charles is sitting at his terminal next to the throne, the freshly unplugged jack resting loosely in his left hand, a tarnished, silver flask in his right. “It’s your money… but I’m tellin’ you this is a waste of time. You’re chasing a fairy tale. Something worried parents tell their children to keep them off the ‘oooh scary’ parts of cyberspace.” He shakes his hands back and forth mockingly, spilling some of the contents of the flask on his shirt.

Everyone knew the story, of course; an incredibly brilliant child prodigy, broken and twisted by the Old Garde and loosed on the cyber highway. A grown woman by now, with the experience of the greatest hackers in existence and the maturity of a 5 year old. She was the modern day boogeyman.

“I heard the buzzing,” your eyes drift slowly to the seemingly lifeless body of your little brother, “I’m close to finding him, I know it.” Charles takes a swig from the flask and savors the flavor for a moment as if considering your words. His augmented eyes finally shift from the terminal to meet yours as he leans in, “look kid, I get it, but your brother needs help. REAL help. ME-DI-CAL help.” The smell of alcohol on his breath only adds to his overall grimeyness.

“PLUG ME BACK IN!” You snap. Charles flinches and then slowly slumps backwards into his chair. After a moment he merely shrugs apathetically and slides the jack back into his terminal, “fine--but this session is gonna to cost extra.”
