i get it
from what i know of you
you didn't exactly grow up like i did

[white_widow]

No, not quite like you did.
What DO you know of me? Other than what I have told you.

[coolcostumes]

uh that's about it
and maybe like rumors

[white_widow]

Well, obviously anything you heard not from me would be a rumor unless I confirmed it, that is what I am asking about.
What are the rumors?

[coolcostumes]

it's not really rumors about you specifically
but like
the assassin people group you came from

[white_widow]

The assassin people group. You mean the Red Room.

[coolcostumes]

is that the name? then yes them

[white_widow]

Yes, that's the name.
You really do not want to say what those rumors are, hm?

[coolcostumes]

not really
they're not great.

and they're rumors
cuz i know you now.

[white_widow]

Of course they are not great. It was a terrible organization.

I want to know how accurate they are.

[coolcostumes]

but they're shitty
and i don't wanna upset you

[white_widow]

I lived through it. I think I can handle hearing what the general public thinks happened there.

[coolcostumes]

you know
it was just like
child labor rumors
trained murderers that couldn't be arrested cuz you did stuff outside the law
taking kids from their parents
tossing them out if they didn't do what they wanted

[white_widow]

Okay.
So, yes, the public has a very watered down version of the story.
Thank you for answering my question.

[coolcostumes]

you're welcome
you're not upset?

[white_widow]

I am not upset.
I'm glad, in fact. I would rather not have the exact details of my "tragic backstory" known to the general population.

[coolcostumes]

you've done pretty well for yourself despite all that

[white_widow]

I guess that depends how you define pretty well, really.
But I am not dead and I still have my brain intact plus under my own control, and all my limbs, and that is something.

[coolcostumes]

and you've got a cool friend who you steal food from all the time!

[white_widow]

I do have that, yes. That cannot be left off the list, what was I thinking?

[coolcostumes]

see and said friend has a cute dog that likes you too.

[white_widow]

Now, the dog being cute and liking me being a big win obviously goes without saying.

[coolcostumes]

hey he could have hated you
it could have happened
but he was smitten as soon as you broke in.

[white_widow]

I did not break in.
And that is hurtful, that you think that is possible.

[coolcostumes]

you didn't break in?
i do remember locking my door before i left.
