business and a question

[notamaniac]

In light of recent Nexus events, Freddy has been busy the past several weeks. He's been helping repair and rebuild, including his own business. The anti-violence field left him completely unprepared for that level of violence. Things like that usually didn't happen in his country, in the time he is from.

To say he's unhappy would be a vast understatement. He's pissed and it's bringing out a side of his nature that he doesn't like.

While he's been working, Freddy has been having an intense debate within himself about vengeance, justice, and protecting other people. He hasn't reached any conclusion that satisfies him. It seems he can make his mother proud and keep his self respect...or he can do something about what happened, which...might protect people in the Nexus. Maybe. Then, again...maybe not? Maybe he's just pissed and looking for an excuse to lash out.

Freddy walks to the middle of the Plaza, watching people go by, before addressing anyone who wants to listen.

"Y'know, one of my parents was scum, the other a saint, at least in my eyes," Freddy announces. "I choose my character every damn day."

Well, that was dramatic, at least. He took a deep breath, starting over.

"What's going to happen to that Khan guy? Anything?"

"My forte is automotive mechanics, and I got a scrapyard out in the wilds if you're looking for any scrap. Though if you need someone who can swing a hammer, I've done my share of carpentry work."

Dean raises an eyebrow at the mention of Freddy being from the Midwest. "Where abouts in the Midwest? I'm originally from Ohio myself."

"Thanks. I'll keep that in mind."

Freddy laughs.

"Huh. I wonder if we're from the same reality. I'm from Ohio, myself. You ever hear of a little town called Springwood?"

[riversideblues]

"Nope. Never heard of the place. And I'm kinda surprised seeing I've spent more time on the road than at home."

Though perhaps it was Kansas that he once called home. Dean scrunches his face, and he then offers out a hand. "Name's Dean. Don't think I got yours."

"Well, it's a really small place, but we could be from different worlds," Freddy says, grinning and shaking his hand. "I'm Freddy Krueger."

He's mostly forgotten about his conversation with Grace and her mention of a certain movie.

[riversideblues]

Dean has yet to make the connection. And then again, the Freddy he knows is a movie monster who kills people in their dreams. "I'm going with the whole different worlds part, Freddy."

[notamaniac]

"You're probably right," Freddy agrees, smiling. "Although, I'm not sure even a multiverse needs more than one version of Ohio."

[riversideblues]

"Well considering how this place works, there's a million Ohio's out there. You might have one where the world has gone to complete shit. And one where the people are robots, or they might be some dog hybrid."

Dean's been making use of his time here in the Nexus. "Or the physics or morality of the people in it aren't the same. I visited a place where people didn't bat an eye if you accidentally ran someone over."

Freddy winces.

"Nice folks. I'll try to avoid that place," he chuckles. "I can kinda imagine the morality thing. The dog thing might be fun, too, or at least funny!"

[riversideblues]

Dean doesn't seem too phased by his trip to San Andreas.

"It wasn't my fault. That and the physics of the place were a little wild. And I'd be more than willing to head back there too."

[notamaniac]

"Uh, if you say so. It's not like I was there," Freddy agrees, a bit surprised. "Personally, there's enough weird stuff in the Nexus to satisfy me. I just prefer it, when the anti-violence field is in place. It makes things simpler."
