Scott: I just... I just feel so overwhelmed. And I don’t know what to do. And every time I feel good, I think it’ll last forever, but it doesn’t.
Johnny: How long have you been feeling this way?
Scott: A while... I didn’t wanna say anything at the time cos I know everyone’s got their own shit going on, and I don’t want to be a burden to anyone.
Johnny: You’re not a burden, Scott...
Johnny: You will never be a burden to me, Scott. You’re my best friend, and you’re not going anywhere, okay? We’ll figure something out.
If you ever feel like you need to talk to someone, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. And I mean it.
Johnny: While we’re on the topic on how much life sucks. What would you do if you're studying a course that you didn’t even want to do, but you were forced into taking it, and you’re on the second year of your course, right?
But you hate it. It’s not what you want to do, and you consider dropping out. But due to family expectations, you dropping out will only create a shit storm, and because of that you feel trapped.
Like seriously, what the fuck do I do?
Scott: Cry myself to sleep every night.
Nikki: Scott, you do that anyway.
Scott: True.
Johnny: Fuuuckk my liifeee...
Nikki: Well, do you at least have an idea of what you want to do in life?
Johnny: Die?
Nikki: Can you be more optimistic, please?
Scott: I think that’s as optimistic as it gets...
Johnny: Uhh, I know I wanted to become famous at some point...
Nikki: So do that, then.
Johnny: And how would I do that?
Scott: Depends on the career, I guess. You’ve got: acting, musician, dancing, comedy...
Nikki: I could see you getting into comedy. Or acting since you can be pretty dramatic.
Johnny: Gee, thanks, Nikki.
Nikki: But seriously, though. If I do not see that pretty face of yours on TV, I will be very disappointed!
Scott: I have to agree with Nikki on this one.
Johnny: I’ve thought about it a few times...
Scott: I can see you being the funny best friend.
Nikki: Or maybe the love interest!
Scott: Or the main character who is a dumbass.
Nikki: Wasn’t Kylo on TV at some point?
Johnny: From when he went missing a few years back or...
Nikki: Not that. I swear he was in a TV show. I used to watch that shit religiously!
Scott: Ohhh I think I know what you’re talking about. He played the character, Antonio so well!
Johnny: Ohh that show!
Nikki: If acting is what you’re looking for, he might be able to help you.
Johnny: I’m listening...
Scott: I have a friend who’s really into music. She’s got quite a lot of followers. I can probably have a chat with her if you need advice music wise?
Nikki: Or you could just start an OnlyFans. I heard people make bank on that!
Johnny: What, and sell feet pics or something?
Scott: Oh wait- Isn’t there supposed to be some kind of small festival happening in San Myshuno soon?
Johnny: The Humour and Hijinks Festival?
Nikki: The one where you can joke and prank people? Count me in if yous are going.
Scott: I heard there’s an area where you can perform in front of people.
Johnny: Yeah, it’s one of the few fesitvals that you’ll see celebrities go to.
Nikki: Sometimes well known comedians will perform there for fun.
Trigger Warning: Brief mention of substance abuse, description of emotional abuse
Johnny: Hey, Scott. Everything okay?
Scott: I’ve just found out that my mum relapsed.
Johnny: Shit...
Scott: It’s not like I can go and see her, either...
Johnny: Why, where is she now?
Scott: Oasis Springs.
Johnny: Fucking hell, that’s far.
Scott: It’s like an eight hour flight, probably.
Johnny: Probably expensive too...
Scott: What about you?
Johnny: Chloe thinks I’m cheating on her.
Scott: Say sike right now.
Johnny: I wish I could, but I’m being serious.
Scott: No way! You’re the most loyal person I know.
Johnny: Thanks.
Johnny: Like, one minute it’s: “Oh I love you!”, “You’re the only person in the world I care about.”, “I want you to be happy!”, “You’re the one I want to marry”.
And then all of a sudden it’s: “Do you even miss me?”, “Do I not make you smile?”, “Why are you even looking at her? Are you sleeping with her behind my back?”, “I don’t trust your friends”.
Scott: What does she think you’re going to do? Sleep with all of your friends?
Johnny: I’m not sure. I tell her everything. I tell her where I’m going, where I am, what I’m doing and even who I’m with.
Scott: Oh wow...
Johnny: It kinda hurts that she doesn’t have trust in me...
Scott: Oh man, it sucks to be you.
Johnny: Eh, it’s whatever. I’m sure we’ll get through it.
LATER ON
Johnny, internally: Wait, is that L.Faba over there?
Johnny: Elle! It’s so good to see you again!
L.Faba: Johnathan, hey! It’s been a while... Also, could you tell Kylo that he left one of his books back in the Magic Realm?
Johnny: Of course!
MEANWHILE
Chloe, checking Snapmaps: What is he still doing in a pub at this time? He told me Scott left over an hour ago! May as well see what he’s up to while I’m here...
