Name:
Bundy "Buns" the Green dice.
Wish: to get money, to get rich, to get a chick,
to not be a loner.
Fear: To be thrown away like parents.
Dear
problem solver!
I have a problem I want to be rich, I make all the
money but I give it all to
my owner, I used to want to make my owner happy and
all but I'm sick of doing
the same thing over and over and I see nothing. I
don't want to end up a
loner, if I was poor, broke I would be a loner. It's
like having the same
cereal every day, you like it but you get sick of
it. I get shaken, shook
and I win but all I see id money passin me by. Passin
and passin. Boogie is
making monet so he ain't letting me go nowhere. I
can't sneak away because I
don't have any MONEY! To be on you own you need money.
It getting played
out.
Name: Boogie the '96 Impala
Wish: to survive, stay alive, maintain a good
engine, need $. Pimps Bundy the Dice
Fear: To be a battery operated car.
Bundy wants to leave, if he leaves I won't have money.
That why I pimp. If
Bundy leaves I won't be ruin, working, driving.
I'm dying if this happens.
I need to survive. It makes me feel immobilized,
misunderstood. He takes
care of me cause he make the $. I feel fortunate,
because not all impalas
got dice as a friend. I feel devastated when
Bundy tells me that he wants to
leave. Because he's my only friend. My
only firend, no me more than my
family because we're just clones we all want the same
thing.
To solve problem, split money 50/50.
Place: House party in a garage.
At Rise: Music is playing, lots of people
at the party. Bundy the Dice is
getting shook by Boogie the '96 Impala.
