[Video] [Shepherd's Haven]

[Nux is very frequently shirtless, even when the weather's a little cold and nippy. Summer's coming in the Southern Hemisphere, so this is true even more often, but today, there's something really different about the familiar sight of his slender, well-muscled torso. It's also adorned with elaborate scarification that looks like car parts. He keeps touching and scratching at it, looking distracted and a little bit distraught.]

So, uh... people are remembering things, yeah? I was digging a hole for fenceposts and I was daydreaming, but... you know, during the day.

You... you know what I'm trying to say, right? I was there, but I wasn't there. I had this thing on my chest when I woke up, and I remembered the sort of... religion my Other had. He definitely wasn't Catholic. I think he worshiped cars, called it the Cult of the V8.

I mean, I like cars, but I don't think they're gods or anything like that.

I don't, but I'm pretty sure people like you attract a certain type.

Their like one of the only things you talk about, everything somehow how has to go back to cars for you. You may not be kissing them yet, but I give it like one or two more echoes and you'll be all over them.

What do you mean? We're all a certain type, OK? Together, because we're all Numbered. You, too, so lay off!

Idiot, I meant that you personally are the type that probably attracts social rejects, the mentally ill and crazies.

Well guess what? I guess you're that type too, because all the people I talk to also talk to you, no matter how mean you are. Maybe we're the only ones crazy enough to think you might have something good to offer the world!

...Did you just admit that you don't have any friends outside the network here?

Now that is pretty pathetic.

Well that kind of happens when most of them are dead. You clearly don't know what that's like... clearly!

[Her expression goes flat at that.]

Clearly.

Yeah! What I said! Good thing you get it!

You're an idiot. You know that, right?

Well at least there are people who like me. Because I'm not mean.

Good for you.

I'm not here to be liked.

Well then why are you here?

That's not really any of your business.

I don't know that for sure! Maybe you're the kind of person who means my friends harm.

Seriously?

Give me a break. I'm not a people person, but that doesn't make me violent.

[Except when she is.]

I know people who aren't "people per..."

"People-people."

They're still not mean.

[...Give her a second. She can't believe she actually heard him struggle with that.]

That's nice.

I've known mean people who weren't out to get to everybody.

So you admit you're out to get everybody?!

[Logic isn't so hard! Nux can totally do it.]

[...Really?

Seriously?

She's not sure she can do this anymore.]

Yes.

That's exactly what I just said, you got me.

[She gives up, there's no talking to this guy.]

Edited 2015-10-25 02:48 (UTC)

I got you! I'm going to report this right now to, uh... people who care!

[There are a lot of them, you see. At least, he hopes it sounds like there are.]

I'm shaking, literally shaking.

[She isn't shaking at all.]

...where are you shaking? Hold your hands up.

[He can't see it.]

[She holds up her hands and there is a distinct lack of shaking.]

Right here.

...but you're not shaking. Must be the resolution.
