as if he wasn't made fun of enough in canon...

[shiningascent]

Mun! Come on, really? This is the first time in forever you've taken me out to play with anybody and you immediately start calling me a doormat? That's really cold, you know.

...And I'm not a pushover! I can totally stand up for myself. You've had my games for how long, now? You should know about this!

Sheesh, a guy can't get any respect around here.

know whats a clear sign of being a door mat

[shiningascent]

Bristles and a witty welcome message?

[strideonstrider]

aw man i was gonna say foot prints
but a witty welcome message definitely beats that out hands down

[shiningascent]

Foot prints are good too, though!! I guess the message is just the first thing that comes to mind for me. Or like, you get the weird ones that are all "Go Away!" stuff like that...

[strideonstrider]

ah the weird ones are hilarious though
my personal favorite was the one that said
hello my name is mat
and that creative one where it says come in one way and go away the other

if you were a welcome mat what would you say

[shiningascent]

Pfff, that's awesome! I wonder if I could get Lady Palutena to get one for our door...

Me? Hmm, let's see... how about... "It's nice to feet you!"

[strideonstrider]

heh just full of the puns arent you
so youd be the welcoming type of mat huh
im caught somewhere between
speak friend and enter
and
the neighbors have better stuff

[shiningascent]

Well, depends on who's at the door! It works two ways-- awesome pun for friends, and implied buttkicking for bad guys!

I feel like I've heard that first one before...

[strideonstrider]

oh woah i didnt even think of that
man you are regular genius arent you

heh
it may or may not be a pop culture reference
hint one
what do i have in my pocket

[shiningascent]

Lady Palutena says I have my moments!

Uhhh... oh, man, I feel like this is one of the ones that I fell asleep during. Ummmm...

[strideonstrider]

fell asleep during
man
how do you drift off in the mines of moria
one does not simply sleep through a balrog

[shiningascent]

Gotta admit, though, I've stayed passed out through worse...

[strideonstrider]

well that statement begs a story

[shiningascent]

Three years. Tooootally wasn't my fault, though! See, the lord of the Underworld had this cursed ring and apparently trapped my consciousness in it and I didn't come to for a while? It was a huuuuge mess, but I'm pretty sure that's my personal record for longest nap. Aha... ha...

[strideonstrider]

wow
pretty sure you win the sleepy head award
no one can contest you
you sit upon a thrown in your kingdom is an insurmountable one

did you at least feel well rested when you woke up

[shiningascent]

Somehow I'm not sure how to feel about that...

But yeah! I was totally ready to go as soon as I woke up! Just kinda wishing I woke up sooner, heh.

[observably]

You're standing up to them right now, aren't you? I hardly think that constitutes a 'doormat'.

I admire your enthusiasm! Just keep at it and things should work out fine.

[shiningascent]

She's only saying it because I like doing stuff for others, but that's just being a good guy, right? I mean, sure it doesn't always work out, but...

[Smile and a flutter-] Thanks, though! I'll keep on keeping on, heheh.

[ptooey]

Overeager yappy dog more like it.

[shiningascent]

Hey! I put the dog thing behind me, and you should, too!

[ptooey]

...

What dog thing?

[shiningascent]

...I-I mean... Nevermind! It's not important!

[ptooey]

Like I said, yappy dog.

[shiningascent]

I'm not! Cut it out, will you?

Things have actually been pretty quiet lately, to be honest.

[ptooey]

Looks like both of our muns are just stashing us aside.

[shiningascent]

I'm just surprised to be brought back out again! She's even .. uh... turned the game on. It's a start, I guess!

What's been going on with you guys, though?

[ptooey]

Mine's been mainly put off by the ask blog and the fandom's entitlement. She ought to get over it.

[shiningascent]

Sounds like my mun and Ms. Fortune. It's lousy, but at least it's a different scene here, right?

[ptooey]

Who knows.

[shiningascent]

C'mon, don't be so negative! Maybe we can go to a game, have some adventures, y'know... exciting stuff! And no weird people asking after sacred buns and stranger hugs.

[ptooey]

You'd go to a place where there might not be any hot springs?

[shiningascent]

[Pause for thought.]

...We'll MAKE a hot spring!!

[ptooey]

Huh. Fair enough point.

[shiningascent]

See? Problem solved. It's not like it would be hard or anything, most places love when people do that kinda stuff! ...I think. It's kinda been a while.

[ptooey]

You say that like you've dug your own hot spring before.
