[Kuzco]: 212.Competition entry

This is a segment of the dialogue that immidiatly follows the introduction into my short story "Life is Hell".
I changed the tense of the verbes to past and also included a "who said, in what manner" after almost every dialogue so that it would serve the purpose of this competition. I don't usually keep stating the obvious. :)



- Hello Seth.
- AH! – Seth shouted for catching a fright. – What the hell???
- I’m Scott. – Scott informed.
- I…how the fu...how the fu….can you…uh…HUH? – Seth ranted bewildered and confused.
- Calm down Seth, what is it? – Scott inquired in return, calmed and normal.
- No! How can you see me? All this? No wait, how do you know my name??? – Seth asked, with an accusing and freaked out voice.
- I was just writing about this, about you Seth. – Scott answered.
- Wha…what? You woke up, but how? - Seth asked himself.
- I woke up? Nah, I’m dreaming. Must’ve doze off in class while writing about this. – He told Seth, and partly himself.
- Human denial and self illusion still hanging on to him. Hum…I understand, by mere chance, this boy actually accepted this reality as possibly being real and… - Seth spoke, as he outlined his thoughts.
- You’re crazy. – Scott commented being ignored. Seth went on talking to himself.
- …since he imagined it, detailed, he just…saw it. Woke up, but still human…which means naïve and close minded to truth and reality.
- Herm…I’m right here ya know? – Scott reminded.
- I thought you were dreaming? – Seth attacked, sarcastically.
- I am, but even dreaming I don’t like being ignored. – Scott explained.
- Look child, I’m sorry but matters of infinite importance are happening and they involve you. Now tell me… - Seth was interrupted by Scott who asked:
- Did you just cal me a child?
- What do you know? – Seth nervously questioned, paying no attention to Scott’s comment.
Scott sighed and answered:
- Souls, hell, our punishment, you’re sorry for us, yada yada yada till I said hi. – Scott replied.
- Right. Now hear me well because this is really important. This is not a dream; all you know is the truth. – Scott looked at Seth in denial. – It is!
- I apologize…but I really really reeeeally doubt it. – Scott cynically said. 
- Why?
- Be…because it’s impossible. – Scott stated.
- I thought you always said nothing’s impossible… - Seth remarked.
- How…how do you know that? – Scott frightfully asked. Seth could see in his expression the key he needed to take advantage of that opportunity, he was seeing belief.
- Because I’ve watched you all since the beginning of times…well, second time. Because this is all true. – Seth speeched firmly. - Because I’m Seth. Because you’re Scott.
- Oh my god…
- Do you believe? – Seth asked, hopeful. 
- What choice do I have, Right? – Scott replied.
- You always have a choice Scott, you’re human. You must keep that in mind at all times. - Seth said, smiling of contentment.
- It’s a terrible reality, but reality it is… It’s a revealing truth and I…I believe. – Scott hesitantly explained
- Intelligence…a talk back, it’s quite refreshing. – Seth commented smiling.
- Wait, does this mean gods exist? – Scott worriedly inquired.
- Yes…it does mean gods exist. I used to be one.
- Damn! – Scott shouted, annoyed. - I made a million dollars bet God didn’t exist.
- Oh HE doesn’t. Gods exist, not…GOD. And believe me, they’re nowhere near perfect. – Seth spitefully pointed out.
- Good enough. I can get a draw and not have to pay… - Scott thought concerned and relieved.
- But anyways Scott, we gotta think. Think of some way to free everyone else. – Seth remembered.
- Why?
- Be..cause slavery’s a…bad thing…? - Seth rhetorically asked.
- Right right, but won’t the gods notice it? – Scott questioned concerned.
- Of course not.
- Of course not? Aren’t they like…omnipotent and crap?
- No…they have cosmic sight yes, but they have to be looking for something in order to behold it. But I still have the sight and I’m telling you they are aware of nothing. – Seth explained.
- Alrighty then…some way to free everyone hum…- Scott pondered. – How about go back to sleep and just let them all know, make them reali…
- No, you would only wake up and think it was all a dream.
- But I believe… - Scott argued.
- Even so, it won’t work. – Seth confirmed, firmly. Scott sighed and said:
- I can’t help you.
- Why not? Don’t you want too?
- Sure, but I’m not able too… - Scott stated, desperate.
- Please, spare me your adolescent wining and pessimism. We have an eternity to solve this and you want to give up after 2 minutes? C’mon, be reasonable. – Seth demanded.
- I just…
- Just…shut up and think ok?! Trust me, there’s an answer, probably more then one.
- Math… - Scott remembered.
- Yes, exactly! There are always a multiple number of solutions to any given problem. – Seth quoted smiling.
Scott smiled back feeling good and hopeful and commenting:
- I always did like math.
- Yep, other than that, only physics make sense in everything you guys learn. Now think, there’s got to be some way.
- Hum…well, can I ask some questions about this reality? Just so I can… - Scott was interrupted by Seth that hurried him.
- Yes yes, ask whatever you want.
- Thanks. Well…
- You’re welcome. – Seth interrupted again.
- Well, human souls are being punished right? Well, human growth is exponential and our numbers have been increasing since…well since primates. – Scott recalled. 
- So?
- So…explain to me the process. The whole thing. – Scott inquired.
- Oh, right. Well, human kind occupied whole galaxies so I assure you there’s more than enough lives to make up for the exponential growth rate of humanity. Souls stay unconscious and practically inexistent until I call upon them to start living in the dream that is life. As for the rest, reincarnation. – Seth calmly explained
- Reincarnation?
- Oh yes, as a matter a fact, I’ve seen you before. Yes, you were one of the first souls to awaken and put to dream.
- Really? – Asked Scott, increasingly interested.
- Indeed. In fact, being your to wake up is less surprising than all of the others.
- Really? Why? – Scott questioned, again.
- You’re pre forms, your pre lives. Let me think of names you know…Einstein’s a good example.
- Holy crap!! I was Einstein? – Scott freaked out, excited.
- Indeed Scott. Not only him but others too.
- Like who? Who? – Scott enthusiastically demanded.
- Nah, I’ll just let you have all of your soul’s information. Code word for memories, hold on.
- Cool! – Commented Scott.
Seth put his hand on Scott’s transparent forehead and closed his eyes concentrating and after a few seconds, Seth remarked, smiling:
- You are so gullible.
- What? – Scott asked confused.
- You are a freaking ghost! You really think this works by touch? hahahha. – Seth mocked. 
- I dunno Seth…I dunno anything. – Scott reminded, embarrassed.
- C’mon kid, follow me. – Seth called out, turning his back and moving away.
