☆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...

...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?

[reveiller]

Would they answer in a language we can understand?

[tearsofademon]

Good question.

[reveiller]

Hmm... what a dilemma.

[ he pets ryner #2 for a moment. ] We could get Ryner #2 to go snooping around for us.

[tearsofademon]

Would he be able to report back?

[reveiller]

I'm sure he'll try his hardest.

[tearsofademon]

If you're sure.

[reveiller]

[ a chuckle. he takes another slime off the pile, and places it next to him. ]

[tearsofademon]

Let me guess, Ryner #3?

[reveiller]

Oh, how did you guess?

[tearsofademon]

Just a hunch.

[reveiller]

Hm... maybe it's time to switch it up.

[ another slime off the pile! ]

[tearsofademon]

If you're switching it up, is that one Fuji #2 then? Or are you sticking with Ryner #4?
