VOID, welcome to our first proper session
...
Let me start by establishing my goals here. I want to make a… psychological profile of you. A map of your mental state, as it were. The benefits of such a profile would be invaluable for my continued research.
Haha, good to know your hearts in the right place doc. One question though - what do I get out of it? I mean, I could just make stuff up and you’d never know.
Devil’s Gate has a number of… extracurricular services we could provide. But, consider the benefits that knowing more about your mind could give you. After all, your other half had a surprising amount of memory when we last spoke. It might even give the impression that you’re….
I’m what?
Oh, nevermind. Anyways, I want to start with some guided meditation. I’ll describe a scene, and you will sit with your eyes closed, envisioning what I describe. Sounds good?
Sure. Best tread lightly though. Or else you might end up staring into the Abyss. Don’t want you ending up like me!
Alright. You are strolling down a street. The street is in the middle of a beautiful, safe neighbourhood. Eventually, you come to your house. What does it look like?
It’s large, and spaced apart from the other houses. Plenty of yard space. The house is all white.
Excellent. You walk in the front door. You take a deep breath. This is your home, where you’re most comfortable. Where do you go when you want to unwind and be yourself?
My room.
You walk upstairs, to your room. With each step, you become more calm. Finally you reach your room. What’s your favorite thing in your room?
My toy chest.
Hmmm. Yes, so you go to your favorite toy chest, to play with some of your toys. What toys do you have?
Oh, I have so many toys. But there’s three that are my favorite, my dolls. First, there’s Regan. She’s so pretty, with her blonde hair and her white dress. But oh, there’s a stain on her dress. Poor little dollie, she’s clearly been somewhere she shouldn’t. And that’s not the only stain. There’s something wrong with the dollie’s head. Luckily, I have a solution. With a little pop, I can take off dear dolly’s head. And now, I can make sure she doesn’t kill anyone, at least anyone I don’t want her to.
Then there’s Sara. She’s got a little button on her, and whenever I press it she says all sorts of stuff. Honestly, it’s hard to get her to turn off. She always has on the flashiest, sparkly dresses, trying to catch my attention. But, there’s something tragic about her. My poor Barbie has lost her Ken. She cries about it so much. She’s even tried to run. I understand what it’s like to lose a loved one, how it leaves you a lost, discarded toy. So I picked her up and glued her down. Now, I control her fate, and can give her all she needs.
Last, there’s CJ. CJ is my favorite. He always looks the best, tough and powerful. We have so much fun, he’s the life of the party, the leader. But one day, I looked under his suit. And I saw, he wasn’t very shiny. Someone had burned him. I didn’t care though. The burns made him cooler. Why had he covered them up? He was scared, scared of what might happen if he let the burns control him. So, I did what any owner does. I burned the rest of him. Now, CJ is his true self. And I know, now that I’ve taught him, he’ll see how fun it is to be damaged.
Well then…
Doc, I’ve seen what you’re writing. Suppressed childhood trauma?
I’ve simply been making deductions, VOID. I can only work with what you give me.
Well if I’m a child, then they’re all dolls in my games. Tomorrow, at Revolution? I’m turning the White House lawn into my own personal playroom. I will be the double number one contender. And I’ll bring gold back to Devil’s Gate
That’s just what I wanted to hear.
