[Oh, that thought is blood in the water. Schuldig's pupils practically dilate at the realization of what he's found, and all the opportunities it presents. Though there's an element of...surprise to the discovery, and perhaps resentment; nothing he's already gleaned (and there's plenty) from Theo suggests that the man is all that different from himself. Bitter, dangerous, occasionally going on bloody killing sprees...

Yet Ken is friendly with Theo, despite actually killing him on at least one occasion. And Schuldig is disgusted by all hypocrisy that isn't his own.

Oh, yes...it's become a new personal goal for Schuldig to make Ken come to this same realization. And if Theo loses Ken as a friend, as a result - well, no great loss. He'd be better off with a like mind such as Schuldig's backing him, anyway. What is Ken other than a murderous idiot?

Schuldig makes his own first move, putting entirely too much thought into it.]

Would you expect any less? Some are from worlds where the game doesn't exist, and the rest are freaks. This town never really pulls anyone normal here, do they? They have enough normal in their drones.
