@slypsyche has fallen down the rabbit hole.
The young man sneered. His eyes pinned on the ground. Trailing as a vagabond since he escaped confinement. Finding himself in the rook Islands after stowawaying on a ship where he found himself caught by pirates. He was no older than twenty five. Anger and unhealthy habits cursing him. Now he was going to die to pirates. Great. Till one comes up to him. A large scar on his head and a haircut only a mother could love. "What are you looking at? Sorry to ruin your fucking party but my parents don't give enough of a shit about me to give you money." He spat at him. A smirk crossing his lips. He was ready." Just do it asshole. Fucking do it!"
If human suffering were a novelty, it would be the cheap trinkets they sell at every odd tourist attraction. The kind one can personalize with a name, a color, or something that gives the vague impression that it is unique and personally made. The truth therin being that about a million copies is being made every day, pisspoor artifacts that will lie in the wake in the world's refuse like corpses.
Vaas had a cage behind him full of men and women, all of them like the man before him. Prime of youth, escapists, hedonists without a cause. He had seen so many of them, the novelty had worn off, and he forgot they were different people, different slabs of meat to sell.
"---I'm fucking sorry. Disculpe? Excuse me?" Vaas said, eyes traveling up to the stowaway the same way cobras are apt to look upon an overfed rat. "---Mind you, hermano, my friend, this is our first meeting, right? My first introduction, and you are giving me the bullshit at ass clock in the morning, making fucking demands and shit."
He was over in an instant, crouching down at eye level with the machete he had been using to parry between the bars of another enclosure. Teasing the animals inside. "---we start again, yes? We start again, and you tell me what the fuck you think you are asking me to do because your fucking parents? They are not in the equation, hermano. No---they don't exist for you, they are nada, they are ziltch. Start again, please, this time with more specifics, because your white boy tactics don't work here."
He smiled, the large knife over his shoulder. "---what the fuck do you want? Do you want to die? Do you want a fucking glass of water or a hug? Why are you fucking crying right now? What's the issue?"
