Being in two places at once is pretty much the coolest thing in the world, 'least if you ask us. I'm sure we (*cough* Bentley *cough*) have a few girlfriends who would disagree, but we're not talking about them now, are we? And I mean, if you do talk to them, don't believe anything they say. Unless that one chick mentions the time we set her hair on fire, because that totally did happen and it was hilarious we mean awful. It was totally not on purpose, but just FYI, if you're going to put that much hairspray in your hair at least have the decency not to stand next to a candle. And definitely don't blame the people witnessing it for laughing before we put you out. We did put her out... eventually. You were fine, Sarah, stop bitching about us to strangers!
Anyways, where were we? Oh, right, the part about being in two places at once. You see, we're twins but not, we're actually like... one dude in two dudes' bodies, most of the time. Though we can become just the one dude if we want to. And that dude's a dick. Just kidding... Or are we? You'll probably never find out though because we hate that dude. Like, it's bad enough we live in each other's heads 24/7, but when you're cramped together in the same body it's pretty awful. We're like... that green guy with the pointy ears and that other green guy with pointy ears - we only come together when the shit's about to get real - 'cept neither of us are evil and neither of us are good, we're just normal. Okay, that was a lie. Nothing about this is normal, just ask our mom. Though to ask her, first you'd have to find her, because that bitch ran out on us when we started doing the super creepy twin thing when we were two and we ain't seen hide nor hair of her since. There also may have been a fire involved, but that also was not our fault. Mostly.
But we're not talking about the past, we're talking about the present, and the present is pretty sweet. You see, Ben's up on the rooftop on the south side of the city, watching a brawl go down and eating apples. Shit's gonna give him the shits (ha ha) but the kid loves his apples so what can you do? And Bishop? Well, our sweet little Rev is on the rooftop on the north side of the city, and he's spying on one of the brothels. We're hoping to see some sweet boobs and maybe watch a dude get his block knocked off all in the same night. Wouldn't be the coolest thing to ever happen to us simultaneously, but it'd be pretty neat. Like... top ten, depending on the quality of boobs.
BEN: Alright, bro, so we've got Giant Dude on the left and Gianter Dude on the right, some little fellers in the middle, and... holy fuck! Is that a chick? A tiny blonde chick just took out Gianter Dude with some sand! She's got a snake like us, too, dude, I saw her put it somewhere safe a second ago! Bet hers ain't as cool as Cynara though. Nara, you getting this?
CYNARA: ...
REV: Told ya you shoulda come with me, Nara. I'm about to see some sweet, sweet... Awww, c'mon lady, don't shut the blinds! It's that chick again, dude. Gives me serious goosebumps every time I see her strollin' around in that big ole place of hers. The other chicks are nice enough, for the working sort, but somethin' about her just freaks me the fuck out. She always looks out the window like she knows I'm here, too. *shivers*
BEN: She probably does, man. Matter of time before you- OH DAMN! Did you see that? *chortles* Giant Dude just got a face full of bat. Yeah, little guy, goooo! Oop, probably shouldn'ta messed with the girl...
REV: Why are all the chicks in this town so terrifying? Guess my entertainment's over for the night. We meeting near the Griffin again? *slides down the curving staircase and out the back door, on the next road over from the brothel*
BEN: Eventually, I guess. I'm in no hurry. Find something else to do.
REV: You and Nara are both gonna just abandon me again? Man, fuck that. I'm tired of always getting left-
BEN: Awww, put your big boy pants on. You're sixteen. It's not like you need me to hold your hand all the damn time.
REV: Man, fu-
BEN: BOOOOO! Stupid guards - or somethin' - breaking up the fight. Sand girl and her snake are already gone too. Boooo! *hucks apple at person's head* Ooop. Shit. I think they saw me. *climbs down from roof too*
REV: You've got to be kidding me! We can't get arrested again! Last time they told us to stay outta trouble for six months at least!
BEN: ...
REV: Ben? BEN? Damnit, Ben, I swear to-
BEN: Just kidding, I'm fine. Just gonna run down this alley, and then... this one, and now I'm...
REV: Now you're what? What's going on?
BEN: Now I'm cornered. Fuck!
REV: Damnit, Ben! I... Uh... I think someone's coming.
BEN: Can't you go invisible, bro?! I got something else to worry about right now!
REV: Going invisible doesn't work when they have me cornered!!
BEN: I'm the one whose cornered! Nara, come bite this guy for me.
CYNARA: ...
REV: She hates us.
BEN: Nah, I think she's sleeping. Or dead. Going silent for awhile. See you at the Griffin by daybreak, else assume one or both of us ate it.
REV: Ughhhhhhh.

DEAR READER,
This is sorta like those "choose your own adventure" books - pick which brother you'd like to talk to to continue the thread! ;) Ben(tley) is on the south side of Laketon; he's been observing a street fight and just threw an apple at someone trying to calm things down. They probably (definitely) saw at least a bit of who did it and he is now cornered in an alley. Rev (Bishop) is on the north side of Laketon; he's been spying on the brothel and might have been spotted by someone while he was at it. He heard someone approaching and is also in an alley at this point. The person cornering them can be the person who saw Rev or got hit by Ben's apple, or just a stranger passing by. Dealer's choice! ;) |
