I know they spray paint the schools and steal. [ Damn, how'd he know he was going to go for the cowboy hat- ] Beanie? We'll match.
I'll say...
You are. But don't know yourself down on the rest of it. You're pretty good at the flashlight and being a general problem. You do this thing where you unhook people too where I think I'm safer? Maybe it's psychological.
Ormond wet would suck. ...I have asked and I'm still not sure. He said "you get used to it" but his nipples have got to feel like they've fallen off by now.
Fine, sure, we'll match. ( quentin and steve morph into the twin terrors, united in their desire to mess with a clown 🤝 )
Running laps with the pig head lady doesn't get anybody out any faster, that's all. ( he needs to get better at gens, but when being bad at gens gets people killed, you sort of don't want to practice. ) Well, I hope you feel safer. It's the worst when someone lugs you down and oh, thanks so much, you brought the murderer with you for the save.
I don't want to get used to it. Reason #1823020 that I don't actually want to run around in swim trunks.
That's the idea. [ 🤝 ] Tell me when you're ready for Clown Heist 20..... Never mind I have no idea what year it is anymore. Clown Heist.
It does when it gives the rest of us enough time to pull a metal deathtrap off our heads. [ At least Steve's never passed out in the middle of doing one. ] Jeez, that's the worst. I feel like that always happens to me. And it's usually Meg. And she stole adrenaline out of my pocket while doing it.
What if it gave you a full wetsuit? That could be insulating.
Clown Heist #1. Because if we have all the stuff and don't die the first time, obviously we should mess with him again.
( obviously?? obvious to who, Steve???? )
I guess. Fine. But it isn't always the pig lady, keeping the killer busy only helps for so long. ...for me it's Nea. And then she does that weird scooting crawl out of the way and I'm bleeding everywhere and have to run for my life again.
Have you ever worn one of those things? They're the worst, you can barely move.
You can't possibly think you're not useful here. I think distraction is insanely valuable and I sort of wish I could pull it off. My whole role here is supporting people that do that. Do you need a hype man while you're doing it? ...Nea's scoot crawl is ridiculous. Have you been in there at the same time as the two of them? I'm always bracing myself to die when I see them both.
Nope, I only wear as little as possible in water. [ This is a joke. Sort of. ] Not good for running? When did you wear one? I always wanted to try scuba.
( the one moment Steve isn't the mom friend he's supposed to be... someone PLEASE intervene before these idiots pull multiple hits on the same sociopathic clown )
I do what I can. It's just not as helpful as keeping people alive and getting the doors open, that's all. ( he's from the Midwest, Quentin, just implying what he is useful is enough to keep Steve going for a half dozen trials. no more hype needed. ) I've had three at once. It was like I could feel all of us dying before it even happened.
I know you mean... like, swim team. But I'm just saying that sounds like you do a lot of skinnydipping. ( which... nothing wrong with that, either, he's just saying!!! ) Went with my parents to Hawaii, once. Scuba is cool, but it's the only time I'd ever wanna wear a wetsuit.
[ Steve going along with ideas thought up by someone running on 30 minutes of sleep. Someone call Nancy. ]
What? I don't keep people as alive as I could. And I'm just... breaking the doors. I can show you? It's not hard. You got to yank it to the left first and then yank it down and it sort of cracks it open faster. The chest locks have a trick to them like that too. [ Quentin will provide enough hype to last him a lifetime. ] Yikes. Sorry, man.
I mean... it was my own pool, we have a really high fence, and the neighbor's tree blocks their view so. [ Trunks bog you down. ] Wow. Hawaii. I've never even been out of Ohio. Did you see seaturtles?
( nooooooo not his sensible ex 😭 let him bromance it up through clown hate crime if he wants to )
Sure. Show me. Any tricks you got, I wanna know. I'm not sure if it counts, but I'll try and explain my unhook strat. Mostly it is just being loud so the killer goes for you instead.
( easy to learn, but, if Quentin wants his teachables, maybe he can get some serious second wind value!!! if Quentin is interested in running a worse adrenaline, that is. )
Wow. So it was a skinnydipping joke. You're more wild than I thought, Smith. ( respect points, buddy... he didn't think you had it in you! ) Saw all sorts of shit. Fish and coral and turtles and we had a dolphin boat tour. It was nice. I was like eight or something, but I still remember.
When we get outta here, you gotta go, man. Swim in the ocean.
Yeah, okay. I can teach you. The only one I think is a little confusing to teach is how to sort of boost everyone's recovery rate. I'm sort of winging it there but it works. And it counts, Steve. You're insane for taking the killer's attention all the time but it counts. I'll learn whatever.
[ He'll probably not be using that often because he's doing something pretty specific most of the time but he's not about to tell Steve. Let's learn! ]
I have my moments. That sounds so cool. You surf any? I don't remember anything before age, like, ten. Lucky.
I want to so bad. Lakes just don't cut it. I mean, close, but it's not the same.
It's just that part I'm good at, that's all. We've all got our something.
( and good feels like a really strong word for keeping killers busy s l i g h t l y longer than average. Laurie is happy to remind Steve he sucks, actually, he's not gonna get overly confident on his looping abilities. but he knows what his gen rushing abilities are (read: nonexistent), so looping it is. )
More like, those little boogie boards, you glide out on your stomach like a penguin. I was terrible, though. I guess kids that age are terrible at most things. ( ... Quentin doesn't remember anything before the age of 10? is that normal? ) I dunno, sorta fuzzy stuff, little kid memories. It's only the big things that stick.
Nah, it isn't. You'll get there, man. You will. ( have a little himbo confidence for your future, Quentin. I'm sure it won't bite anyone in the ass at all! )
You're good with, like, moral too though? People feel comfortable around you.
[ He's never in a trial and thinks "shit, it's Steve." He has thought "crap it's Meg" though. Steve's personable and gets along well enough with everyone with a charming sort of confidence. it's a good thing. ]
I mean, they're still learning so yeah. [ People are out here having normal childhoods they didn't repress due to trauma. Sigh. ] It's all fuzzy all the way down to age six. Then it was totally blank. This place has been jogging it.
I hope so. [ Surely nothing bad will happen by wishing for this. ]
( probably the only survivors that say "shit, it's Steve" are David and Bill. like since they're old they get dibs on altruism points. nice try, granddad, but he's dying for that dwight )
Thanks. I think. You too, buddy. I'm not glad to see you're around, but I'm glad to see you're around. You know?
( Quentin is quiet and always rifling around in a chest or something, can sneak around corners and scare the living daylights out of him. but the guy always keeps the team in mind, which always works out better than people like Nea or that really scary korean lady. who seem to only see teammates as canon fodder if things go bad. )
Weird. ( and feels complicated to press about, like... like there's a reason Quentin doesn't remember. and as someone who supports the "if we never talk about it, then maybe i'm not emotionally damaged about it" mindset, Steve is happy not to press. ) Whatever, being a kid mostly sucks. The stuff I remember about being a kid sucks, anyway. So maybe you're not missing out on much.
You will. We gotta get outta here eventually. ( Steve really has to believe that, some toxic positivity to keep him moving. if they're endlessly fighting to never get anywhere, what's the point of fighting? gotta be a point, just gotta be. and that's a lie he'll tell himself until they're all so wrung out of emotion that the Entity shunts them to the void. )
[ "Steve stop dying at endgame for people challenge (impossible!)" ]
No, I mean you're super charismatic and can get this calm cool confidence going before you do something dangerous. Ha ha. I think so? I mean, I'd hope people think that.
[ Quentin doesn't give a single fuck about gens, he only gives one about the other people in the trial with him. He supposes that's a good thing for people. He dies a lot but people get patched up well.
If it ain't talked about, you're fine! ] Oh. That doesn't make me feel better about it now I'm just sorry your childhood sucked a lot.
It's the sunglasses, easy to seem like you have your shit together under wayfarers. ( he doesn't actually at all, but popularity is faking it until you make it. and boy can Steve fake it!! ! )Glad it makes sense. Like, obviously I'd rather you around than Meg. Or Dwight. But also, that means you're around getting chased by a murderer, so, that's not great either.
It wasn't a lot. It sucked the average amount. I'm just saying bad stuff tends to stick in your head better. ( he always had money, got what he wanted, and his parents only got on him when there appearances to be concerned about. not that bad, right? right. his dad being a dick and his parents being increasingly absent as he got older wasn't "sucked a lot" territory. that's not fair to people with actually fucked childhoods. )
Good. You better. If you need an ideas for the future soundboard, man, I'm your guy.
So, I need sunglasses to look like I'm not about to cry from how tired I am is what you're saying? [ ah yes! pretending you have your shit together seems easy enough! ] You don't always have those on so I'm not letting you say you're not at least a little bit cool under pressure though. Yeah, that makes perfect sense. You don't want me to get chased by a murder but appreciate my company. Thanks.
Hmm. Bad stuff is why I can't remember it so I'm not sure that's a universal thing. Ha ha. [ Fucked like him! But he thinks "Steve that sounds like it SUCKS." ]
Oh, always need one. Definitely. I want to make a mental vision board. Like a highly detailed one.
It helps a little, definitely. ( Steve has used sunglasses to block his true feelings even before the murder dimension, suffice to say he is grateful they hide his misery just as much now. ) Fine, I'll take it. Cool under pressure. My life being goddamn insane even before I got here gave me plenty of practice. And that's it, you got it in one, buddy. I like you on my team, but I don't like watching you get chased with a chainsaw.
Shit. I didn't know that was a thing. ( now he feels a bit like an asshole on accident. which is better than being an asshole on purpose, but only by so much. )
I like it. A vision board. My mom used to do that, she would cut pictures out of magazines and put them on the fridge. We'll just have to do it in our heads, that's all.
You think I could get a loan on sunglasses from someone? [ Maybe he can siphon a pair off Wesker. He seems to have... many many pairs. He's not sure that particular style is going to not look utterly stupid on his face though. ] Haha. Well, cooler than some of us anyway. I hate that you have practice. Hey, same here.
Yeah. Sorry. That's probably not a thing people casually mention. It's a thing. It's less of a thing now but a thing. Yeah. [ Leave it to him to make Steve feel uncomfortable. Shutting up now. ]
What was on it? Our head one can look better than the mess we'd probably make trying to figure out how to get pictures for the thing.
( great minds running on two braincells tops think alike because: ) If we just pallet stun that tentacle arm creep a few dozen times, we can pick up the broken pairs he hucks on the floor and hobble together something useable. I stun, you swipe. Deal?
You don't gotta be sorry, man. I'm sorry, I'm a complete dumbass. ( who should know the brain can just shut down trauma that is too much for it to handle. is Steve sorry that something shitty enough happened that Quentin's mind tried to blank it out? is he sorry Quentin remembers whatever that thing is now? both! both is good. Steve is just gonna feel bad overall on this one, and happily let the subject drop. )
She liked fancy buildings. Like Big Ben and the Eiffel Tower. When she went she'd take the picture down and put up a photo of her in front of it. ( fuck now he's missing his mom 😭 Momma Harrington was an airhead, but a lovable airhead. maybe the apple didn't fall far from the tree. ) Yeah, brain pictures are gonna have to do. I don't think there are magazines around here. And if there are they're probably moldy or bloodstained or both.
I mean, I think we can do better than a broken pair. I think the best move would probably be grabbing from his smug face while being carried, getting a save in, and booking it. [ this braincell is picking the far more reckless option. ]
For having zero idea? No, no way. That doesn't make you a dumbass. Don't call yourself a dumbass. I'm fine. It's fine. [ Quentin is more than happy to move on but he is not letting Steve call himself dumb for something he dropped on him. That's awful. ]
That's so cool! I definitely want one of those now, if I can get back. I always liked when people do stuff like that. Like have a collection of photos of something they bring with them on trips like a bear too. You ever see people do that? [ Steve's mom sounds like she had it good. If only she were a little more attentive to her son, from the little he's heard, Quentin would be praising her. ] Well, there's actual pictures. I mean, there's cameras around. I'm decent enough with one. I used to take pictures all the time. Zarina has one, Ghost Face has one - probably more than one. [ how many killers is he planning to steal from? ]
Can you bait him into grabbing you from a locker? It's easy to set up an angle from behind a locker. ( Jesus Christ someone separate these boys before they go through with these hairbrained schemes and are crammed full of spaghettis and camped to death
what if he is a dumbass though, Quentin? what if he never seems to notice how fucked up people are by things until they're at a breaking point??? maybe he does need to be sorry!!! or, to be more fair about it, a little more astute with trauma. hard to do when Steve is so determined to undermine his own. and avoid talking about anything heavy if at all possible. case in point: ) If you say so.
A bear? That's cute. Never heard of that, but that's cute. When I was a kid I'd get postcards and never send them to anybody. ( kind of a weird kid thing to do in hindsight. at least Quentin seems like a guy that can embrace weird. ) Even if we could get our hands on a camera. Developing the film would be the hard part, wouldn't it?
I can do that. That's not too hard. [ Not too hard to get impaled with worms either if he brings a mori. ]
I mean it. No dumbass talk. [ Does he look okay to anyone here? Not one bit. But he'll keep saying it until he buys into it himself (never). Steve can get a free pass and a subject change. ]
Yeah, a bear. I guess it's more popular when people can share it with a whole bunch of people on Facebook. It would but not because we're lacking the means because there's a whole fully stocked red room in the RPD. It's more because that would require sneaking in another place.
Good. Then we'll score you some glasses, Smith, no problem.
All right, all right. Geez. ( fine, Quentin, he'll just THINK he's a dumbass, thoughts are free 😤 )
Facebook? What the hell? You mean like, a photo album? ...and yeah, a camera probably won't help. ( since the things and places they wanna do outside of the fog are ... notably ... outside of the fog. ) Brain pictures it is, buddy. Unless you can draw. I sure as shit can't, though.
Awesome. I'm going to look cool and like my shit is completely together.
If I catch wind of that kind of negativity, I'm flicking your nose really hard. [ Damn. A loophole. ]
Is like a digital photo album. Like sending one through a text but everyone can see it. [ He really hopes he's getting better at explaining this stuff. ] Not well. Nancy was the artist. Maybe we can commission Jeff.
Good for you, buddy. Can't wait. Maybe work on your evil scientist impression, huh?
What the hell. ( that is SO RUDE but also, he laughed. )
Wait, you can send pictures on these things? ( this could be bad information for Steve Harrington to have. ) I think he's got better stuff to do than that, but... actually, maybe not. That's the worst part of being here, right? So goddamn boring if you're not actively getting chased and murdered.
You didn't know about the pictures? I'm about to make your day. You see on the bottom of the screen there's a couple of little icons? Tap the one that looks like a camera. [ He can't believe he gets to be the one that lets Steve know what a selfie is. This is exciting. ] Right! I think he'd appreciate it.

Yeah, a bear. I guess it's more popular when people can share it with a whole bunch of people on Facebook. It would but not because we're lacking the means because there's a whole fully stocked red room in the RPD. It's more because that would require sneaking in another place.

Facebook? What the hell? You mean like, a photo album? ...and yeah, a camera probably won't help. ( since the things and places they wanna do outside of the fog are ... notably ... outside of the fog. ) Brain pictures it is, buddy. Unless you can draw. I sure as shit can't, though.

Is like a digital photo album. Like sending one through a text but everyone can see it. [ He really hopes he's getting better at explaining this stuff. ] Not well. Nancy was the artist. Maybe we can commission Jeff.

Wait, you can send pictures on these things? ( this could be bad information for Steve Harrington to have. ) I think he's got better stuff to do than that, but... actually, maybe not. That's the worst part of being here, right? So goddamn boring if you're not actively getting chased and murdered.

Tap the one that looks like a camera. [ He can't believe he gets to be the one that lets Steve know what a selfie is. This is exciting. ] Right! I think he'd appreciate it.
