shitposting rave 2, electric boogaloo

Dude.

[Bit rearranges their face to have eight eyes, just so they can open them all almost comically wide as they stare at the picture.]

That is so. Cool. How does that-- here, maybe if I--

[They sink down into themselves, and in a matter of seconds have become a very tiny-- maybe three feet long from snout to tail-tip--, dark green replica of the sketched creature.]

Dude I have so many spiky bits like this, holy scrap this is awesome, I bet these fins are great for swimming? I have gotta try this out at home sometime, I bet I could even catch a rippersnout in the water like this! [They're bouncing excitedly, and seem momentarily perplexed when they don't have hands to clap together, instead knocking together the wrist-joints of their front limbs.] Well-- I mean we've got water yeah but most of it's got like. Trees and muck and all kinds of plants in? Sil's shown me sensemems of a lake before but they said it's, like, so far away you have no idea, like, a whole year's travel overland if we don't get dead first, and why would we even when none of us have aquatic alts? Normally I mean, I don't count, I've got every alt probably 'cause I'm the coolest, but like. I also don't really have extra matter or energy to waste on weaponry and also I'm totally not a very useful tank yet? So, uh, exploring alone isn't... really... an option. Heh.

 

(Kite squees at Bit's transformation and claps its hands excitedly)

 

I know, aren't I great? [They spin a quick little circle, reformatting their face just so they can grin back at Kite, all fangs and glittery eyes.]

 

I've seen one of those before! They're very playful.

 

*eyes widen, then she grins* That is a very good representation! I imagine you'd have a lot of fun with that shape. And your guardians are right - exploring alone is never the wisest option. Good companions to watch out for you are the most valuable resource in the world.

I'm endlessly delighted that no matter how much I try to uncover, there's always something new for me to find in my world. It's especially good when the new things are inclined to be friendly more or less from the start.

 

Most beings just want to be happy.

It's always a very small proportion of individuals trying to ruin things for everyone else. And I'll never understand why some beings love misery.

 

its hot.

 

Some people seem to be convinced that their happiness depends on others' misery. There's been enough hurt in the history of the multiverse without perpetuating it upon generation after generation.

...the fact that one of the writers of my universe would start cackling at your comment does not make me any less suspicious of you.

 

How did the tune go... Ah, yes.

(Kite starts... singing. Maybe it's the original song, but it's probably its voice that's a little bit off. Or just the fact that its voice is a bit strange if you're not used to voices of indiscernable gender.)
Misery loves company
And company loves more
More loves everybode else
But hell is others

 

(THERE'S A JERRY IN EVERY UNIVERSE...)

 

But you're not dead.

(... or "fallen down"? Which honestly reads like an euphemism to me, and that'd make "vacation" an euphemism twice-removed. And that's ridiculous. *laughs*)

*smiles softly* You're alive and you're here with me. And we're having a pretty great vacation, I think. It's my first... ever, so I don't have much basis for comparison, but... I think it's awesome and I'm glad you're here for it. Glad that I met you on it.

 

What's a jerry? :o

 

...what?

 

Crocro there's saying that he gets turned on by other people's misery.

 

...wull'at sounds like somethin' as shoulda stayed innis berth. Not like I 'spect common manners from'im, but somehow he keeps settin' th'bar lower.

 

Yeah, he's one hell of a limbo player.

Also, good to see you back.

 

WHAT???

...I THOUGHT HE WAS JUST SAYING, IT'S TOO HOT? AS A REALLY BAD EXCUSE FOR BOTHERING PEOPLE!

YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT THAT FIRST PART! I'M NOT DEAD.

I MEANT, MAYBE, PEOPLE BACK HOME THOUGHT I WAS. DISAPPEARING WITHOUT AN EXPLANATION...

BUT IF THIS IS WHAT ALL VACATIONS ARE LIKE, I CAN SEE WHY OTHER PEOPLE TAKE THEM.

JERRY IS...

TIRESOME.

 

*laughs* When Cronus talks about stuff being hot, 9.9 times out of 10, he's saying that stuff turns him on. That guy's got sex (and the amount of it he's not having) on the brain, you know...

*grins* Yep. I think this is... basically what vacations are like. But most vacations involve less death and less world-saving and less demons.

And I'm glad you're having fun too.

 

I know. I just don't understand that.

 

...yeh. [He looks away, shrugs.] Weren't gone that long, nothin' sticks proper here.

...how likely d'y'think it is his species can catch septiwhatsis through their valve? Would be a piduva way t'take out someone so damn focused on fraggin'...
