shitposting rave 4: (almost) anything goes

GENIE.

 

Oh, no, not you. Me! For a certain value of accuracy, anyway. I thought that's what we were playing.

 

... oh. That we were all saying what we are.

 

Yes! Plus rhyming game, which is always a fun challenge if you're good with words. Would've ruined the point if I'd just said my species or profession, see?

 

... Thank you. Sincerely. I know it's hard to tell, but... Thank you.

No sweety, that's what he's got me for. You just got blackmailed to Garrus-9 and back because you don't know how to take care of your own problems properly.

 

And cats are automatically compelled to eat fish...? I really want to see you try to talk to Ravage.

Well aren't you darling! How do you keep your blacks so saturated?

 

Yeah, I guess it would've, if that was actually the point.

 

It's not blackmail. Blackmail implies people will do a thing if I don't do a thing: they've already done the thing but it turns out it can only hurt me emotionally because I wasn't going to go back to Devisiun anyway and the Captains are crazy and somehow people still like me.

 

You're quite welcome. [He smiles, soft and sincere.] I can't promise results, of course-- the galaxy is too large for that. But it's little trouble to pass a message on if I do find something; I couldn't in good conscience just hold it over your head when you obviously care about him.

 

An organic, mammalian cat. Not a robot catformer or a Talassani or a jellicle. A cat. A cat that is also a fish.

Your robot politics don't have shit to do with it.

 

im pretty sure jellicles r also organic mammals

 

... well, yeah, but... the fishcat is still not a robot, Talassani or jellicle.

 

You're a genie and you're getting worked up about someone ELSE being weird? With THAT facial hair?

 

Most of us do have a taste for seafood, truth be told. Of course, we're sure to have our personal tastes.

[is that condescending? ...no matter. compliments! he grins and dusts off his coat]

It's entirely natural, although I do have a strict grooming regimen. It's important for a showman such as myself to always look his best, you know!

I suppose I failed to read the tone of the room incorrectly, my mistake.

You'd be correct!

 

No, I'm trying to explain to that blue guy that your robot politics don't apply to organic cats-that-are-also-fish.

 

lol You have emotions.

[He smiles, still a little wobbly and shy.]

 

Which gives you the right to viciously mock the organic fishcat, because you think it's weird and funny because of how it was created. Disgusting.

 

Yeah, I'm working on turning those off.

 

I have no idea how it was created, and I'm not viciously mocking it.
