the struggle

[gleans]

Yeah, sure, lemme just magic something new and interesting into existence. I don't know what to tell you, dude. You know this shit manifests at the weirdest times, I can't tell your ideas what to do. Hey -- I wanna be back in action just as much as you do, my legs are cramping.

Just don't sweat it, alright? It's not like you're on, like -- a time limit. You're gonna figure it out, you always fuckin' do. You just gotta deal with the fact that it's just not gonna happen right away.

Severe muscle cramps may be caused by vitamin deficiency, drugs, lactic acid, dehydration, low calcium, or high levels of potassium in the body. Remedies may include--...

O-oh. You were... alluding the fact that you've been [Air quotes] Locked up in the confined space of your author's imagination. I see. Well excuse me for trying to HELP! [He looks very distressed, there's something in his eye.]

[gleans]

Uh -- thanks anyway, though, dude. You okay?

[wedgie]

YES! [That was loud.] I am perfectly adequate. Why. Do I seem distrESSED?! [Went kinda high up on the end there, Wedgie.] If I do it's only because ... you are wrong. I am fine! You should be more worried about yourself!

[gleans]

Seriously, if I didn't already know you weren't a robot, I'd think you were glitching the fuck out. Breathe, Merv.

[wedgie]

I have not ceased to breathe since we started talking! You do not need to remind me to breathe! What you need to do is find something to occupy your time and keep you grounded to this plane of existence.... er... for the sake of the many humans you have befriended.

[gleans]

... Holy shit. Are you worried about me?

[wedgie]

[High pitched squeak!] No! That is preposterous. Why would I care whether or not you continued to exist? I don't rely on you in any way. There's no logical reason for me to worry.

[ EYEROLL. Come on, dude. ] You know it's alright to have friends, right? Like, that's normal.
