It was a dark and stormy night... (Destiny)

All of that stuff is worth the slight headache off the rest of the game.

With a slight chuckle, Cody Miller turns to face the open door, only to pause. His hand still momentarily hanging on the antiquated bronze doorknob of yore. Before him is only a greeting by the cold rain and the ink of night, broken by cracks of light and thunder which follows. A wall of water globs and beads against the club awning, "D.B.O", pooling the water around it splashing against the eroded rust-residued concrete below, spilling then onto the streets and sewers along with the rest of the heavy noise of rainfall.

He pops the collar of his tartan flannel trench coat and reaches for one of his fruit flavored gluten-free non-GMO Vegan Cigarettes fortified with vitamin N he purchases from a mom and pop shop down on 23rd. They say they are going to retire soon. The rent is too high. *Feah* Don't they know the importance of what they do? With out them I'd have to huff that digital swill, or worse, support a soulless conglomerate. Don't they understand that physical media is pure.

With a light from his sustainability grown cruelty free match made with all natural ingredients, he takes a quick drag, and lets the smoke waft around him. He glances back with the slightest head turn.

Not for me. Not anymore. But if for you, then I understand.

Ha ha. Gottem. Cody Miller then broodingly melts into the rain and the night, alone. Before him now were two choices, go home and tell other people online that they were wrong, or stand onto the roof of some seven story building and stare at the high-rise lights of the city and think about how dumb everyone was for not agreeing on how right he was. How misunderstood he was.

Ha, why not, why not both?

As he turned the corner, he passed an open window, and managed to hear his name, stopping in his tracks. It was INSANEdrive, probably talking to cheapLEY.

"...know, at first, I thought Cody was a troll. He still may be in some way, but over the years I gotta give him credit for consistency. He must be, by far the most brilliant idiot I have ever had contact with."

Mild chuckles fill the hall.

"No no but really, it's almost endearing, I almost feel some sort of sad respect on how insufferable he is, I mean... nerve of this guy! He's hardly here at all, unless there is some sort of scandal where some dudes think their dick is a personality or ... and this is the real kicker... to tell us we should quit the whole reason we're together here anyway. I mean the arrogant brass on this guy must be the worst sort of art turned science I have ever seen. It's breathtaking."

Cody rolled his eyes, and didn't give it a second thought. As Cody recalled, INSANEdrive thinks Bioshock was good, when in fact it is just a really bad game. Everyone knows that. Or they should.

"Bioshock is a bad game" he yells, rain muffling his voice. Ha ha. Gottem.

Cody throws the cigarette to the ground and steps on it, only to then pick it up and place it back into the cigarettes box to toss it properly later on. 4.5 trillion cigarettes butts are discarded into the environment every year and cigarettes butt litter comprises up to 330% of the total litter on U.S shorelines, waterways, and land, and Cody was sure he wasn't going to be part of that statistic. He was going to make a difference.

It was seven blocks to get to his favorite seven story building, and it was getting late, and he was so misunderstood. So misunderstood.

/Fin

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ lol

(Edit: For the record, If I had to guess Cody probably doesn't smoke, but it needed it to be so in this case for the sake of artistic license. In fact, there is a lot of artistic license done here, all sparked because the comment Cody made felt to me something you would see in film noir. That's where my head went. Not sure why, but well... here it is. Here is what my brain spat out that I managed to put onto the page.)
