The First Arrival"The first arrival is a decrepit old man-"
"Ada! Don't speak like that! He is not decrepit, did you see him on the dance sphere?"
"Fine. A mysterious man who insists that he cannot tell us his name, for he forgot it. Are you sure this isn't an insane asylum?"
"Ada, I read his story. He went for many years without sharing his name. He saved this very town from Vita Alto!"
"Fine, fine, whatever, just cut to the interview."
---------------------------------------------------------------
"Hello, mister uh, Nameless. We learned that you've gotten a SWAP in the past. Tell us about it." Ada asked.
"Well, therapy was very good for me. Before I was a slobbish, childish, good, couch potato, handyman."
"Uhuh," Squirt encouraged him
"I traded out couch potatoe and slob in return for family oriented and bookworm." He finished up.
"And, may it be asked, why did you choose those particular traits?" Ada said, in her best diplomat voice.
"Well, I *uh, I planned to marry Holly," He nervously spoke, "And I was getting renown for my writing skills, so the bookworm trait was, well, a good choice,"
"Why didn't you get anything like neat or athletic, or get rid of the childish trait?" Squirt probed. But she already knew all the answers.
"Well, a complete personality flip isn't ever good for anyone. And the childish trait was helping me with my writing." He answered back.
"Look, it's my favorite show," Nameless said, who thought the other two felt as tense as he did.
"Let's talk about your writing," Ada said noticing his discomfort.
"I've written many children's books over the years,"
"Yes, my niece loves your books," Ada said, forgetting herself.
Squirt took moment to give her a funny look. "I didn't know you had a niece,"
"**I'm very happy that she does." Nameless was trying to diffuse the situation.
*Here he is trying to avoid the topic of his first daughter
**He is saying he is glad that her niece enjoys his books. Not that she has a niece. I couldn't think of a good way to revise this line, so I left it as is.
*** I've never gotten the impression that he had very good people skills. They aren't bad, just not as good as most everyone else. Having read his story you probably understand what I mean.
