#MissingStars
20:28	Ravenous	I would take you out to dinner if you were here.
20:28	Ravenous	and if I had a means to get you to the restaurant.
20:28	Ravenous	and if I had money.
20:28	Ravenous	And if I were gay.
20:28	Hamadyne	You don't need to be gay to take me out, Rav~
20:28	Ravenous	<3
20:28	Hamadyne	<3
20:29	Ravenous	Wait wait wait
20:29	Ravenous	No.
20:29	Ravenous	Nope.
20:29	Hamadyne	aww
20:29	Ravenous	I just... I can't do it.
20:29	Ravenous	Sorry.
20:30	Hamadyne	O-okay
20:30	Hamadyne	I understand.
20:30	Ravenous	I mean.. its not you.
20:30	Ravenous	Its not your fault, hamadyne.
20:30	Hamadyne	I-it's what they all sayyyyyyyy
20:31	Ravenous	I'm sorry but its just.. never going to work out between us...
20:31	Hamadyne's heart is broken
20:31	Ravenous	I don't deserve you and you deserve more!
20:32	Ravenous	I'm sure you will meet someone better than me.
20:32	Ravenous	I just know it.
20:33	Hamadyne	Y-you really think so?
20:33	Ravenous	I'm sure.
20:34	Ravenous	There are all kinds of... individuals out there.
20:34	Ravenous	I'm sure one of them wants you...
20:35	Ravenous	You were easy enough for me to throw out. I'm sure someone will see you and do the courteous thing and pick you up like the garbage you are.
20:35	Hamadyne	W-w-what?!?
20:36	Ravenous	You didn't really think I would take the blame for this did you?
20:36	Ravenous	You really are that stupid, aren't you?
20:36	Hamadyne	B-but this was supposed to be a comedy!
20:36	Ravenous	You should have seen this coming a mile away.
20:37	Hamadyne	:C
20:37	Ravenous	You never had value to me. You always were just a pawn in my little game. You were expendable and now your usefulness has come to an end.
20:38	Ravenous	I can't just let you go away now either.
20:38	Ravenous stabs Hamadyne below the sternum
20:38	Hamadyne	!
20:38	Ravenous	Let me tell you a secret...
20:38	Ravenous leans in close to hamadyne's ear
20:38	Ravenous whispers
20:38	Ravenous twists the knife
20:39	Ravenous	HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!
20:39	Ravenous pushes Hamadyne off the knife and onto the ground.
20:39	Ravenous	You got my clothes all dirty.
***Hama is a robot.***
20:40	Hamadyne	THAT IS CORRECT
20:40	Ravenous	eh?
20:40	Hamadyne reveals gun hands
20:40	Ravenous	What?

***#DarkAlley***
20:48	Scene	-Fade from black to dark alleyway, Ravenous is leaning heavily on a wall, his breathing clearly distressed-
20:49	Ravenous	That bastard. He was holding out on me the whole time.
20:49	Ravenous clutches a sudden searing pain in his side.
20:49	Ravenous	Hah...
20:50	Ravenous inhales raggedly
20:50	Ravenous	He actually shot me.
20:51	Ravenous hobbles further into the dark alley
20:51	Ravenous	Shit! He found me.
20:51	Hamadyne	PURSUING ASSAILANT
20:51	Ravenous half-runs around a corner
20:51	Hamadyne	OBJECTIVE: DESTROY
20:52	Ravenous	Ah... dead end.
20:52	Hamadyne	PURSUING ASSAILANT
20:52	Hamadyne	DETECTING....
20:52	Ravenous backs up against the dooming wall and falls to the ground
20:52	Hamadyne	DETECTING....
20:52	Hamadyne	ASSAILANT FOUND
20:53	Hamadyne	DISENGAGING AUTO DEFENSE MODE
20:53	Ravenous	Shoot me already.
20:53	Hamadyne	I...
20:53	Ravenous	Cmon.
20:53	Ravenous	Do it!
20:54	Hamadyne	Why?
20:54	Ravenous	You already did it once!
20:54	Hamadyne	Why did you do this to me?
20:54	Ravenous	Do what to you?
20:54	Hamadyne	You already hurt me enough
20:54	Ravenous	I treated you exactly as you deserved to be treated.
20:54	Hamadyne	enough that it felt like you stabbed me.
20:55	Hamadyne	But then to do it for real...
20:55	Hamadyne	...You knew, didn't you?
20:55	Ravenous grins weakly
20:55	Hamadyne	You knew I couldn't 'really' love you the way a human would
20:56	Hamadyne	But I kept going, because I thought you wanted to accept me.
20:56	Hamadyne	I guess...
20:56	Hamadyne	...that was a lie too, huh?
20:57	Ravenous rolls his eyes
20:58	Ravenous	What can I say?
20:58	Ravenous	What do you even want me to say?
20:59	Hamadyne	That you never meant a word you said?
21:00	Ravenous	Is that what you want to hear?
21:00	Hamadyne	Yes.
21:00	Ravenous coughs as blood begins to run from his mouth
21:00	Ravenous	What do you need to hear it for?
21:01	Ravenous	What need does a robot have for that information?
21:01	Hamadyne engages weapons systems
21:01	Hamadyne	SO THAT I MAY ERASE YOU FROM EXISTENCE
21:01	Hamadyne	AND THUS END THIS MOCKERY WE CALLED 'LOVE'.
21:02	Hamadyne	AWAITING RESPONSE
21:02	Ravenous	Is it for me or is it for you?
21:02	Ravenous	Who.. who is this all about?
21:02	Hamadyne	AWAITING RESPONSE
21:03	Ravenous	Go.
21:03	Ravenous	To.
