Life Hacks/Just talk to the police and likely get turned down
There are just too many things wrong with the idea of you taking “him” in. For one, “he” is only asking for this because you fiddled with his opinion about you. For another, your mom would never agree to it… well… actually… damn, you actually could get her to agree to it by adjusting her. And probably your sisters too. They would probably take issue with it as they are now beings this is the kid who seems to have issues with women, but you could easily overpower their objection once you have adjusted them.
That’s exactly the problem, you would have to fiddle with your family so much in order to make this happen… it’s just… you let out a mental sigh at the thoughts assailing you. Well, while you haven’t exactly said yes yet, you haven’t really said no either. You should at least go through the motions for the kid’s sake to keep “him” calm. You can sort this all out, including your own feelings on the matter, after you are at the station.
“Hey!” ‘Billy’ calls to you, having fallen into step with you and currently looking up to you with a great deal of interest. “You’re stronger then my dad, right?”
“Huh?” You respond.
“You beat him at the park, so you’re stronger than him.” ‘he’ states.
“Yeah, I guess so,” you answer in your discomfort generated humbleness. The real answer to that question would be ‘most definitely, and in a LOT more ways than one.’
“Hey, wait! What’s your name?” ‘Billy’ asks, seemingly having just realized ‘he’ doesn’t really know you at all (yet has asked to live with you and has been hanging all over you like a dear trusted loved-one.)
“Xander,” you tell ‘him.’ “Actually, it’s Alexander, but I like people to just call me Xander.
“Xander?” ‘he’ replies thoughtfully and then smiles. “I love you Xander, I wish you were my dad!” Oi, ‘he’ doesn’t even seem to think it strange at all that he just met you earlier today and the only things ‘he’ knows about you are that you beat up ‘his’ dad, you are friendly to girls, and that you acted friendly toward “HIM” just a bit ago. Although, you suppose it is possible to see how the system might justify ‘his’ new stats through those actions. “Hey,” he continues, “do you think the police will really let me live with you?” Great, you can just feel your heart starting to be torn to shreds at all this.
What will you do?
- Give ‘him’ the reality, that they probably won’t like the idea
- Encourage ‘him’ that ‘he’ is going to have to really plead ‘his’ case, but they might listen.
- Assure ‘him’ you will do your best to make sure they will let this happen
