☆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]

Well.

Ryner isn't the sort who talks about himself. But he talked about you.

[dreamsofahero]

*raising an eyebrow*

Did he, now?

[reveiller]

Mm... here and there.

[dreamsofahero]

I certainly hope he hasn't been filling your mind with some sort of wild untrue stories...

[reveiller]

Like what?

[dreamsofahero]

Who knows? I can't begin to imagine what such a predator as he would dream up, after all.

*...so, those wild stories about Ryner being a sex offender Ferris always like to spout? Guess who was responsible for STARTING them... :3*

[reveiller]

Oh... well it's true that Ryner has a very vivid imagination.

[ he's getting the inkling... but this is fun too, so he'll just play along. ]

[dreamsofahero]

And idle as he surely must have been without anyone to keep him in line, I couldn't possibly guess what sort of wild and untrue tales he may have spun.

[reveiller]

I see... I think I'm starting to understand your concerns. It must be terribly difficult keeping him in line.

[dreamsofahero]

It's undoubtedly quite the trial. I sincerely hope he didn't cause you too much trouble.

[reveiller]

Oh, no. I was under his care. If nothing else, I hope I wasn't too much of a burden on him.

[dreamsofahero]

Oh? How unusually altruistic of him.

[reveiller]

He's a kind person, if not a little too prone to napping.

[dreamsofahero]

Well, I suppose that much is true.

[reveiller]

[ and he'll take a moment to admire the fact that ryner is... still buried under that pile of slimes rofl ]

[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*

[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*

[reveiller]

[ always dabes ]

[dreamsofahero]

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

[reveiller]

Ah... wouldn't I be at a disadvantage? You know him better than I do.

[ but he is seriously considering this... looks at ryner ]

[dreamsofahero]

Ah, but I can't say I've seen him in a situation quite like this before... And there's always the possibility that those creatures will move of their own accord and alter the results.

[reveiller]

Oh, that's true. A wild-card, to even the playing field.

[dreamsofahero]

Precisely! It certainly would make things more interesting, wouldn't it?

[reveiller]

Quite. Why don't we up the stakes a little more, then?
