2 Memories of the Past
Whitty: So tell me, Sarazy-
Rasazy: My name's Rasazy...
Whitty: Oh ok, sorry, Rasazy. You know that your parents-
Rasazy: Are demons?
Whitty: Yeah, huh, that... H-How did you know?
Rasazy: I get it from my father. My brother Selever is a little bit more like my mother. He's a troublemaker, but he comforts me when I need to...
Whitty: That's nice to hear... I never actually knew what having a family is...
Rasazy: Oh... Do you want to talk about it?
Whitty: *sigh* Well... (lays on Rasazy's bed) I was born without my parents. Alone, with no one to take care of me... So I had to take care of myself all the time. Even I had to give myself a name, so I chose Whitmore.
Rasazy: But your name isn't...? Oh wait, Whitty is a nickname, isn't it?
Whitty: Yeah...
Rasazy: Ok then... *sigh* Look, I know I may not be through that, because I was born in a church with demonic parents, and also an older brother, who's a troublemaker, but I sometimes like to imagine myself in those situations, and I can feel it was a bad experience for a person like You, Whitmore.
Whitty: Hehe, please, call me just Whitty.
Rasazy: I'm sorry, I like to be polite...
Whitty: It's ok. Now I see why you're like your father. You talk about this like it was nothing... He's so-
Rasazy: Emotionless? Yeah... My dad rarely smiles. My mother usually pulls him a smile here and there, but I guess he was always like that... He had a bad time back in his country.
Whitty: I know, your dad told that when we were heading here for the first time...
2 days earlier...
Garcello: Hey, Ruv!
Ruv: Yeah?
Garcello: I'm getting Agoti back home, we'll see each other sometime.
Ruv: (shakes head as "yes") Let's go.
Tabi: So, Ruv, right?
Ruv: Yes...
Tabi: You actually... live in the church?
Ruv: Yes, my wife works there.
Tabi: Wow, a Christian marrying a demon? Kinda impossible...
Ruv: *growls*
Tabi: Ok, sorry. I was just joking... (puts his hands on his pockets)
Whitty: How long you've been with your wife?
Ruv: Oh, for a long time!! I met her when I arrived here. She took care of me for a long time, and I felt that we had feelings for each other after a while... So I married her. And then I had two kids: Selever and Rasazy. But at the beginning of our relationship, we didn't looooooved each other, because I'm not very friendly with people I don't know...
Tabi: I can understand that.
Ruv: Yeah, maybe because we're both Russian or something... *sigh* But everything changed, when I saw that Sarv wasn't
any type of threat or had any signal of betrayal, so I put all my confidence
on her. She told me that she had seen the good in me, even if I have some...
criminal activity.
Whitty: You're a criminal?
Ruv: Aren't we all criminals here?
Tabi: What did you do?
Ruv: Theft... Sarv had no money, and so neither did I, so I started to stole money from rich people, luckily, without being caught though.
Tabi: Never?
Ruv: Never. I have some "abilities" that I use to my advantage. There's immortality, but you already know that one. There's my high-speed reflexes, and also my supernatural voice.
Whitty: What do you mean by "supernatural"?
Ruv: I can make earthquakes with my voice.
(A minute of silence for Tabi and Whitty to process the moment...)
Tabi: I don't feel the earth-shaking...
Ruv: Oh, that's just when I sing, don't worry.
Tabi: Oh, ok, that's cool.
Whitty: Can you show us?
Ruv: Huh... I think that's not a good idea. My earthquakes are so strong, that I almost destroyed the church to the ground.
Tabi: Jeez, dude.
Ruv: In the beginning is pretty difficult to control, that even my daughter Rasazy has that ability to make earthquakes, that are way stronger than mine. But I guess that because she's a girl since she has a higher pitch, you know?
Tabi: Yes. Now that I'm thinking... Your wife is a nun or something?
Ruv: Huh... Yes? Why?
Tabi: So... If she's a nun, that means she can't make love, because that would break church rules... Right?
Ruv: H-Huh, right, but... She huh... Started to be a nun recently...?
Tabi: ...You're lying... You know that's a sin, right?
Ruv: I know. I mean, we've been together for 78 years, and... I've never loved someone like Sarv.
Tabi: Yeah, but still, your wife is-a-nun. Unless there's something that you can't tell us...
Ruv: (sweating nervously) What? No... Oh, look we already arrived!!
Back to the present...
Tabi: (eats spaghetti) Mmm, this tastes good!
Whitty: I just don't understand how you eat, dude...
Tabi: I have my ways.
Ruv: Hold on... Where's Selever? SELEVER!!!!!!!
(Earth shakes)
Whitty: Huh, Ruv?
Ruv: (deep breaths) Sorry...
(The earthquake stops)
Tabi: Didn't you say that you could only make earthquakes when singing...?
Ruv: Well, that's true, but sometimes I can make them when I scream as well.
Selever: What's up, old man?
Ruv: Dinner.
Selever: Ugh, seriously? (seats) I said I wasn't hungry earlier...
Tabi: That's your son?
Ruv: Yes... A troublemaker.
Selever: I'm not a troublemaker, you jerk.
Whitty: Hey, kid! That's no way to treat your father!
Selever: Pfft, whatever, bomb guy...
Ruv: Be cool, he's like that with everyone. Except for Sarv and Rasazy.
Whitty: (puts his hands to cover his face, while whispering) Sh*t...
Ruv: Look, I've known about what you've talked about with Rasazy, and... I understand.
Whitty: I don't wanna talk about that right now... (eats spaghetti)
Ruv: I know how hard it is to you. You're not alone...
Whitty: ...
Ruv: *sigh* Whitty... I'm 97 years old, and I've been through a LOT with the years. Starting when I was in Russia. My family also abandoned me when I was young, so I had to live by myself, 'til I got age enough to travel alone. And let me let you, I wasn't here if I hadn't accepted what happened in the past. The past is the past. You can't redo what it's done.
Whitty: (discovers his face)... You're right... I can't redo what it's done. I have to accept what happened in the show... *sigh* Thanks, Ruv. I need that.
Ruv: It's ok.
Selever: Wow, such an emotional moment.
Ruv: (looks at Selever)...
Selever: What? I've never seen someone so emotional here, except mom...
Sarvente: Um, hello? Mommy's here and she can hear you...
Selever: Sorry, mom... (eats spaghetti)
Rasazy: I'm sorry just to interfere now, but I just want to say sorry, Whitmore. I knew my dad was going to help-
Whitty: And I'm glad you told, Ras. I needed those words from someone.
Rasazy: Glad to hear that!
Whitty: Hey, it's only 9 pm. Wanna go to a movie? I'm sure you kept these kids locked in here all this time, didn't you?
Ruv: Actually, they already went outside, but not entirely...
Rasazy: Just to see snow, to be more precise...
Whitty: Oh, I see.
Rasazy: But I wanted to go outside to see the world, dad... Would you let me and Selever go?
Selever: (looks at Rasazy) Huh? What?
Ruv: *sigh* Sure... I'm pretty sure that your mom wants to go too.
Sarvente: I mean, is just for a movie, right?
Whitty: Nice. If you guys don't mind, I could invite my girlfriend by.
Tabi: What about Garcello and Agoti?
Whitty: Oh yeah! These two too.
Selever: Finally!! (crosses his feet on the dinner table) After 17 years here, I can finally go outside for f*ck's sake!!!
(Everyone looks at Selever)
Selever: Why the f*ck is everyone looking at me?! I know I'm handsome, but please. (gets up from the chair and flies upstairs to get ready)
