Shame on me

A mother without a child is no person at all.

I can’t stop shaking.  Why am I still shaking?

Hey, listen, everything is going to be okay.

[t-eddystewart]

So I found a new friend at the junk store today. Her name is Tina, she’s a really sweet —

[marion-coffey]

You're a bit of a strange one.  

[andy-lane]

I'm sorry.

That I was a fucking dick and scared the shit out of the people that apparently care about me even though I can’t die because I’m already fucking dead.

[marion-coffey]

That's a lot of information for an introduction.

[marion-coffey]

So everyone is seeing their funerals, huh?

[misspaisleygrace-deactivated201]

Don’t feel useless, you’re the lucky one in this situation. Hell, I’d be throwing a parade if I were you.

[marion-coffey]

R-Right. I'm sorry. I guess I am. I mean, 

I just wish I could do more. 

[marion-coffey]

So everyone is seeing their funerals, huh?

[misspaisleygrace-deactivated201]

You will eventually… and it will be the worst thing that’s ever happened to you in Nowhere. I hope it’s not going to happen to any kids because it will destroy them.

[marion-coffey]

It's already happened to most of the people in my house. We had to have a discussion the other night about it. I feel utterly useless to them. 

[eljohnston]

They’re fucking crazy. 

[marion-coffey]

Uh... That's one way to put it.

 But I assure you they really do have the best intentions.

[marion-coffey]

So everyone is seeing their funerals, huh?

[misspaisleygrace-deactivated201]

Didn’t you see yours?

[marion-coffey]

Nope. Eh. Not yet I guess? I'm afraid of it. Hard to give advice to all these new kids on how to deal with it, when I have no clue whats going on. 

[marion-coffey]

So everyone is seeing their funerals, huh?

[samuelthayer]

Does that matter?

[marion-coffey]

Yes. Very much. 

[eljohnston]

Oh no, I meant that you’re still kind of sane.

[marion-coffey]

Oh! Well that's awfully kind of you to say then.

People here can be a little quaint, but they're all lovely people.

[samuelthayer]

I want it.

[marion-coffey]

Yes, but, er... That's not really a proper answer is it, Samuel?

Why do you want it? 

[eljohnston]

Impressive. 

[marion-coffey]

I didn't really do anything.

[samuelthayer]

So, what’s the problem then?

[marion-coffey]

I guess the question is why, I mean, more than why not?

[scott-rutherford-deactivated201]

I love kids. They rock. I mean, they get me; probably because I’m ten at heart.

[marion-coffey]

I can see that. Kids are delightful. They always make an event at least 20 times more interesting.

[eljohnston]

Yeah. How long have you been here? 

[marion-coffey]

Thirty six years and counting.

[samuelthayer]

Tequila.

[marion-coffey]

What? You... You want what?

Tequila? Samuel how old are you? It... It won't even get you drunk. 

[zav-adams-blog]

No. Actually I’m Xavier.

[marion-coffey]

Alright then, Xavier. Nice to meet you.
