☆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...

[tearsofademon]

No eulogy, huh. Well, never expected to get one of those anyway, so that's fine.

[reveiller]

Mm, I didn't say there won't be one. Just that I didn't have a chance to prepare one.

It'll be short!

[tearsofademon]

I see. Too bad I won't get to hear it, then, since, y'know, I'll be crushed to death.

[reveiller]

Hm... why don't I say it now? While you're still alive to hear it.

[tearsofademon]

You don't have to.

[On the other hand, it's not like Ryner can exactly leave if you start.]

[reveiller]

Let's see now... 'Ryner was a funny individual, much beloved by cute creatures who walk this earth'...

Is that a good start?

[tearsofademon]

Ahh, am I really that funny...?

[reveiller]

A sense of humour is a positive trait, Ryner.

[tearsofademon]

I guess...

[reveiller]

So moving on... "He provided a good home for all the creatures, and he sacrificed himself for the sake of all the slimes in need."

[tearsofademon]

Not sure what these guys are getting out of this, but okay...

[reveiller]

"And he was a cherished friend. He will be dearly missed by all."

[tearsofademon]

...That's pretty nice.

[reveiller]

Starting to enjoy your situation now?

[tearsofademon]

Well, ahh, it still sucks to be buried under all these things.

The company's all right, though.

[reveiller]

I call this one 'Ryner #2'.

[ holds up a slime! ]

[tearsofademon]

I'm not sure I see the resemblance...

[reveiller]

The resemblance is in the heart.

[tearsofademon]

So I have the heart of a blobby thing now.

[reveiller]

It's cute.

[tearsofademon]

If you say so.

[reveiller]

So?

[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.

[tearsofademon]

Think they'd answer if they were asked?
