shitposting rave 5: discount rejects from every genre

*It's big enough that he's able to dislodge it from the back of his mouth without too much trouble, and Kankri spits it out. The pointy tips of his ears are BRIGHT SCREAMING RED.*

I didn't kn9w we were dating!

 

[There's some definite amusement there, and she COULD tease the fuck out of him, but maybe she's going to be gracious today. It is his Maybe Wrigglingday after all.]
Thats How They Told Me The Story. Theres Two Possibilities. Either She, The Disciple Herself, Wrote It Down This Way, Or The Story Became Exaggerated To This Through Countless Retellings. I Dont Know Fuckall About Which Of Those Is More Probable So Its Basically Your Choice.

 

...
69th.

 

[She shrugs. She doesn't actually care enough about The Great Teacher's romantic adventures to try to puzzle this out.]

 

*Nepeta chirps a greeting* I´m Nepeta, what´s mewr name?

 

Valiska sighs heavily. "I was told a story about how the love of the Signless and the Disciple transcended quadrants," she says, and leaves out the part where the nature of her relationship with Ford was used as proof that she was the Disciple, never mind that it has always been Ford who deferred to her, not the other way round. "But Kankri, there are two things to remember. First, it was a story over a thousand years old, of so I was told, and much embellished; and second, there are many universes in the multiverse which are quite similar to one another--there may have been another you in the dimension from whence our girls have come who did love the Disciple, a different person entirely from you. Also, I might be able to help with your burns, if you let me." She glances at Chroma. "Chroma my dear, I think you have baited this poor boy enough. He looks like he's been through a lot."

 

Yeah, geez.

 

I'm fine, thank y9u.

*He conveniently ignores all the discussion of Meulin. Let his love life be weird and complicated in P E A C E. ):B*

 

*Nepeta has just been listening and looking both cheerful and inscrutable. If she has any thoughts of her own on Meulin, she is keeping them to herself.*

 

[She looks for half a second like she's going to say "None Of Your Business", then visibly thinks better of it.]
Achromat Nichrome.

Wow You Never Let Me Have Any Fun At All. Im Not Allowed To break The Laws Of Physics Before Breakfast, Im Not Allowed To Prod Pople I Admire Until They Scream. Next Youll Tell Me I Shouldnt Be Making Mass-Murder Tools At My Tender Age.

 

An alien anniversary of sorts is upon us!

 

"He already screamed," Valiska says. "Remember? Or did you not notice because you were screaming as well? And go right ahead with the toolmaking. We're going to need those before too long. Just remember what your father said about black holes." Her eyes are full of mischief and she hopes Chroma sees it. People hardly ever know when she's joking. Though she's serious about the "no black holes" part.

 

...Why d9 y9u need mass murder t99ls??

*Crab is mildly horrified.*

 

Spoiler: sparkly gif

 

-hunts the sparkles-

 

[Grinning, Wires magics up more pointless sparkles to be caught. Some of them are even solid enough to stay around after being pounced!]

 

*The teal wiggler promptly tries to eat one.*

 

"We hope not to need to use them," Valiska replies. "But I've learned to appreciate the value of deterrence."

 

[They seem to be made of thin foil of some kind. Crunchy, but probably not very tasty. Hey, most people could use some more aluminum in their diet.]

...long as you've got someone to keep that 'deterrence' in perspective, sure.

 

I supp9se y9u are deterring s9me pe9ple.

*He takes a few very long steps back.*
