Y/N: How about we DO call you 'Cockbite'. That's what you wanted, isn't it, Little Cockbite?

The Stranger: ...

The Stranger: Yeah, even that is better than my real name.

Y/N: Then you get your wish, little "cockbite".

He gives a little smiles and nods. He writes it down on the fragile bit of disposable paper before handing it back to me.

Cockbite: Yeah, even that is better than my real name.: So, if I'm "Cockbite", do I get to have a nickname for you, too? Like "Pussycat" or "Slick-Kitty"?

The Stranger: ...

The Stranger: Wait, what was that?

The Stranger: H-How did you know my real name?

The Stranger: Urrrgh... I hate my name.

The Stranger: Were you talking to Girlfriend? Did she tell you my real name?

The Stranger: Mom?!

The Stranger: Oh, wait... no. You're not her.

The Stranger: Besides, that sounds like the name of a sick creator who enjoys toying with other's lives.

The Stranger: On second thought, maybe you ARE my mother.

The Stranger: How about naming yourself something more pleasant and less... demented?

The Stranger: ...

The Stranger: *PLAYER'S NAME*? Really?

The Stranger: You're going to name me after yourself? How long did it take for you to decide on that brilliant idea?

The Stranger: I mean, seriously… Your complete lack of creativity is making you less attractive to me by the millisecond.

The Stranger: Wait… Did you feel that?

The Stranger: You just got more repulsive. Oh look... It happened again!

The Stranger: LaughingMan? Seriously?

The Stranger: Sounds like the name of a guy who gets tricked into D&D sessions and laughs like a Hyena.

The Stranger: Well... You're technically not wrong. When Fuboo pitched this concept, the word "incel" was written on the massive red flag that was flying over my head.

The Stranger: But apparently there's a subsect of young Tumblr followers who think that incels and serial killers are sexy. Who knew?
