[Day 103-104, ASS O'CLOCK]

[acemedium]

[Someone's in the Cat dorm... sneaking, silently creeping....]

[Except not really, she just tripped on her own feet and crashed on the ground]

[AND SQUEAKED]

Comments

[featherduster]

It's nothing you or anybody can help with, though. And it'd just trouble you if I told you.

[acemedium]

You can get it off your chest! [Instead of, you know, freaking out at the possibility of fakeder]

And it troubles me when dummies don't tell me things, not the other way around.

[featherduster]

[ YOU REALLY DON'T WANNA KNOW, STAR......


He watches the ceiling with rapt attention for a while, while deciding how best to hedge ]


... It seems like any time I remember something new, someone else has died. So I guess I'm just tired, that's all.

[acemedium]

[Plops on the bed beside him]

Does that happen a lot?

[featherduster]

[ Scooting to give her room... ]

All the time.

[acemedium]

[Hands another donut]

Why?

[featherduster]

[ He takes it, but he can't eat donuts and talk about genocide, sry bro ]

Because that's what my planet is like. And because Knives is making good on that promise he made.

[acemedium]

[Picking up a donut for herself then putting the box on his lap]

[She figured it was worse than wild west outlaw business if he's that upset]

You mean... wiping out all the humans so his girlfriends can go free?

[featherduster]

Yeah. That.

[ Closing his eyes and letting out a loooooooong breath ]

He's doing a really good job so far.

[acemedium]

Oh. [WELL THEN...]

I guess... there isn't really anyone else but you who can stand up to him?

[featherduster]

[ YEAH..... ]

No. It's just me.

[acemedium]

[Pauses to mull this over...]

What if you lured him into a lightbulb? Could you do that?

[featherduster]

[ Hahahahaha....... ]

No, I don't think that'd work, unfortunately...

1/2

[acemedium]

If you put one of those 'change your name' forms in there, I bet he'd take the bait!

[acemedium]

[Takes a bite of her donut]

Well.... that kinda sucks.

[featherduster]

Yeah. Anyway...

[ Enough about GENOCIDE ]

I'm sorry for today. Like I said, I'll feel better tomorrow.

[acemedium]

It's Blade you should apologize to, not me.

...And Yato too, I guess. Maybe. [She's still frowning pensively about the genocide thing, apparently considering Something]

[featherduster]

I'm not apologizing to Yato.

[ GET REAL ]

[acemedium]

Yeah, on second thought.... you can skip Yato.

[featherduster]

Thanks.

[ Very generous.

He's just gonna put the donut back in the box and set it aside. Are they done now... ]

[acemedium]

[NOPE, picks it back up and holds it up to him expectantly]

You should think about swapping Pound for a cute girl sidekick, too.

...Or get one for each of you. That might help.

[featherduster]

[ j'refuse ]

... I dunno about cute girl sidekicks, but there's these two insurance girls who stalk me everywhere.

[acemedium]

[Don't make her forcefeed you]

Oh? Do they give you a kick in the butt when you need it? And keep Pound from brooding too much?

[featherduster]

[ Well considering the last thing he remembers of Meryl Stryfe is her flINCHING AWAY FROM HIM IN TERROR — ]

Not really. No.

[acemedium]

[That awkward moment]

I think that's part of the problem, there.
