[ If only the the entity let him keep his spiked bat, no one's a match when he has that thing by his side. ]
I do feel bad for you, not enough to not want to kill you, but it's still there...somewhere. Deep down though, dick. The killing just for funsies, then?
[ Maybe, Steve's no stranger to being the biggest douche around, but he's been working on developing a heart, and so far, and who knows, maybe there's a reasonable side to him, like with Joey from the legion. ]
I scooped ice cream for twerps and fought interdimensional monsters, what's it to you?
Did you enjoy it? Feel like it was fulfilling some purpose in your life? Either one, though I can't imagine your interdimensional monsters were going to be a permanent thing.
No I'd rather not be kicking some monster's ass every couple of months. I just want to live a normal ass life and find a normal ass girl to spend it with. But here I am, talking to you instead.
[ He notably doesn't talk about scooping ice cream, that job sucked. ]
So if you got your normal-ass life, would you really feel content and fulfilled? Assuming you got the girl of your dreams and all the monsters got dragged back to whatever dimension they came from.
[ He knows it isn't, but he's not going to let Ghost Face tell him that. ]
Yeah, I don't exactly see why not. Not that things could ever really be normal again now.
[ Years of therapy might help Steve. But ultimately he's a pretty simple guy who never really set any high ambitions for himself. Just went with the flow his whole life so far. (Which landed him outta luck after high school, scooping ice cream to toddlers at the mall.) ]
Which is why I said 'imagine'. Besides, you could have gotten married earlier.
The problem with your logic there, Steve, is that you're considering the idea that I might actually want some kind of "benefit" that a therapist could provide. I'm happy with my life. Makes me unique here. Made me unique back in the world, too, now that I think about it.
Alright let me rephrase, everyone else might benefit from the lack of selfish asshole that can't help but murder all the other sad assholes in the world, who probably don't deserve to die.
Might make you unique, but unique ain't always good.
Now that's a valid point. A stupid one, but valid.
I think we're finally getting somewhere. Though there's much quicker and easier ways to stop a psychopath than forcing them into therapy, which I'm a little surprised you haven't already suggested.
Anything that helps you get ready for the next round of slaughter is something I can't argue with. But just keep in mind that all the imagining in the world is never going to actually give you the chance to make it happen.
You've got such an active imagination, Steve. I guess you'd have to if you wanted to survive serving ice cream to kids. Shame it doesn't show up in the way you handle trials.
Serving ice cream to little shits is way harder than dealing with your ass, that's for sure. Are you sure you're not the one with the active imagination? The times you've hooked me, I was clearly running distraction for my injured team.
[ Sometimes the case, but most times, he just got too cocky or careless and got caught. Not that he'd ever admit or even realize that's the case. ]
Really? Even those times I gutted you when you were alone on a generator for a good minute and a half? That's either incredibly predictive of you, or you're desperately trying to cover up your failures.

That's one way to put it. What did you do, back before this place? I'm curious.

That's what the killing's about for me. It's just that unlike you, I actually got around to it.

Also that shit's messed up, you sure you don't need like a therapist or something? You might benefit.

Maybe I can think of more ways, helps me relax during between trials. Almost therapeutic for me too.

I really like imagining your face behind it, pissed off, or disappointed or whatever. The mask hide your tears?

It's obvious when you're trying to hide something. Feeling nervous lately, Steve? Having trouble keeping your head on straight?
