☆57.5☆ [Fourth Wall]

[tearsofademon]

[Somewhere, somehow, there is a pile of slimes. It's a pretty impressive pile, several feet high. Blue blobby things all grinning cheerfully.

Of course, this would be just an amusing, if odd, sight, if it wasn't for the fact that at the bottom of that slime pile, there's a single human arm sticking out... and twitching.

If you listen closely, you might even be able to hear a strained voice from beneath them all...]

...somebody... a little help...

[reveiller]

So?

[zeitnot]

[ because he's a jerk ]

Oh... I hit a sore spot.

[tearsofademon]

[Maybe looking away and saying nothing will get this stranger to drop the subject.]

[dreamsofahero]

*it is terribly amusing, isn't it?

Sion would do something except for the fact that he knows Ryner is entirely 100% capable of extricating himself if he actually bothered, so*

[dreamsofahero]

And yet, it doesn't seem to have impaired your ability to talk...

[zeitnot]

... thaaaaat's not gonna work.

[reveiller]

[ oh... is this what they call trust between friends. ]

[dreamsofahero]

*possibly. though Sion and Ryner might not be the best example to go by... or they might be THE best, who knows*

[tearsofademon]

[Nope, not saying anything.]

[tearsofademon]

[...did you just...

ahh nevermind]

Think there's one in here that's like you?

[reveiller]

Maybe. If it likes spicy food and small, prickly plants.

[zeitnot]

Hm.

Want me to reach in there and pluck them out?

[tearsofademon]

Okay, see, talking and moving my arms and legs are two totally different things.

[reveiller]

[ always dabes ]

[tearsofademon]

[...fiiiiiiiiiine]

Good luck with that.

[zeitnot]

[ reaching ]

[tearsofademon]

[...okay you're actually serious he's going to pull away from that

not that there's far for him to go though, being, y'know, trapped

If you are fast enough to actually get there, though, you'll note... even if you try and pluck them out, you can't. It's like they're hard as rocks.]

[tearsofademon]

Think they'd answer if they were asked?

[reveiller]

Would they answer in a language we can understand?

[zeitnot]

[ reaaaaaaaAAAACHIN--








okay no he's going for that slime that was by your head. pulling it out! ]

Gotcha.

[tearsofademon]

Good question.

[toneless]

Ryner!

[Pointing the dango stick at him!]

That's inconsiderate to the dango! Honestly, you should know that by now.

[toneless]

Indeed. Though I wouldn't be surprised if you had some sort of ulterior motive beyond that...

[dreamsofahero]

Why, Ferris, what possible motive could I have?

[dreamsofahero]

...you know, I wonder if we should wager on how long it'll take him to decide to do something about it.
