"Can I have a gum?"

"I have no gum, I'm afraid."
The Faux Genius cocks her head, "Really now? What about that thing you're chewing on right now?"
"I only ever had this one. Candy is not so easy to come about in this place."
"Well, can I have it?"
The goth glares up at the Fake Genius, "You-- Want an old gum? An old chewed up gum that I had in my mouth?"
Without skipping a beat she nods, "Uh huh! Let me get rid of it for you!"
"No. I am using it."
"Oh, take your time. I'll just take it whenever you're done."
"Rest assured, I have been chewing on this gum for sixteen months now, and I hardly expect to stop any time soon. I am afraid you must take your disgusting habits elsewhere."
"Ah, but disgusting habits is why we're all here!" The Faux Genius gestures towards the asylum common era.

The goth girl simpy groans.
