The Creature Calamity Club

[Sgt Floyd]

Let's put the groceries in the car first, then we can come back in and look for pictures

*Victor glares for a bit, then sighs*

Victor: Ever since I was young, I’ve always been shy with women. In those days, men were expected even more to make the first move than today. But I was never the tall, dark, handsome, confident hero they wanted me to be. All I was really interested in was carrying on my father’s business as a jeweller-

I thought you said you were a soldier.

Victor: I enlisted a few years later, but you’re getting off track.

Sorry. Continue.

Victor: Now where was I? Ah, yes. I all I really wanted to do was make jewellery like many on my grandfathers before me. Then Gelda walked into my shop and it was love at first sight. By the next year, we were married.

*nod*

*we go to the car and put the groceries in there*

*we walk around, looking for a shop that sells decorations*

 

[Sgt Floyd]

How about that store? *points to a store with what looks like a bunch of designer furniture and things*

 

[Yuna Leonhart]

*look at the store Johnny's pointing at*
Well, it might be worth a shot to look there.

*we go to the store*

*Victor takes out his wallet and shows me a black and white picture of a younger version of him and a dark-haired woman on their wedding day*

Victor: We wanted children, but nothing worked. It didn’t help when I went off to war. But we were happy for the longest time. Then-

She passed away.

Victor: Hey! Who’s story is this?

Sorry, but I kinda knew where this was going! I have seen UP!

Victor: Anyway, yes she passed away. She was 79. I’ve been lonely ever since. Then, Felicia started working at the library. Everything about her is perfect. Except, I didn’t know how to tell her. I don’t know how to impress her. With Gelda, I never had to impress her because…she loved me just the way I was…


*Victor pauses, looking sad. I look at him then gaze off, like I know how that feels*

 

[Misskermie]

*wakes up*
I-I'm home?
And my house is...
Not a wreck?

 

[Sgt Floyd]

*looks around*

See anything you like?

 

[Yuna Leonhart]

*we walk around the store, I spot a picture of a pirate ship*
Hm, what do you think, Johnny? I like that one

 

[AlittleMayhem]

Victor: So, I did what everyone in my high school did. Write love poems. *looks at me sternly* Alright, Miss Love Doctor! What’s your diagnosis?


Okay, first off, don’t call me that again! That sounds really weird. Second, although you definitely have potential as a poet-

*Victor scoffs*

-I think you should stop on the poems.

Victor: *shocked* What? Why? I thought you liked them.

I do. But have you ever thought of trying what you did with Gelda? Just be yourself?

Victor: But, what if she doesn’t like me the way I am?

*thinks* Good grief, he’s like a teenage girl *says aloud* Well, that’s her loss! You can never know until you try! You can’t waste your time on someone who doesn’t accept you completely!
