Obi looks slightly unconvinced by what Randy is saying. he gets it, he does, but that doesn't mean he fully understands. he knew Randy had an obsession with scary movies---or maybe just movies in general---so he's not sure why he's surprised that he took the metaphor route here. still, he lets out a sigh and covers his mouth with his hand, trying to think of what to say. finally, he turns back towards Randy with a deadpan expression on his face. "i don't know if i'm funny enough to be the comedic relief, to be quite honest with you. i'm not sure if i was meant for that role."

@fearhaunts // no one ever seems to take me seriously. (for Randy)

"So, screw those guys. Give 'em what they think they want."

Randy shrugs. He's not dismissing the complaint, because he gets it. Half the time, he feels like he's talking to an empty room, only hearing his own voice echo off the wall. It's frustrating, but he's used to it.

"Look, the way I see it, when everything important to you is taken as a joke by everybody else, just go with the flow. Make it a joke. At least they'll listen if you put it like a joke, because it's entertaining. In every movie, who is it who says what nobody else will say? Not the hero or the villain. Certainly not the love interest. The comedic relief. Because they can say it without things getting too heavy, right?" And then they die by the end, but Randy figures he can leave that part out.
