Hey, knowing that I like blowing things up is half the battle! ... No, I lied; it's a much smaller, almost negligible chunk of the battle, but hi! I'm here, that counts for something! Why aren't you drawing and keeping track of this stuff, though? Like, contrary to this cutesy expression, I hope what you're hearing right now is me yelling, because I'm yelling! Get off your patoot, scrub, what kind of pro are you?

Here's the deal: we're gonna work. And you're gonna throw down some ideas about my hockey god sibling. And then we're gonna level, and/or play TF2. Hey, someone has to make the decisions around here. At least my decisions are fun, right?

C'mon. Let's make this a good day, sunshine.

Careful with that one, Miss Bray. Her ideas of sibling interaction are questionable at best. No, I think you'd much rather prefer being an only child.

[conceptually]

Actually, I think I'd prefer being... not. An only child. Not because most of the only children I know are spoiled and weird, but because I'm pretty sure that whoever my sibling is, they're probably pretty cool. So! I'll take my chances!

[ribeadh]

As you wish. The mistakes are yours to make in the beginning. You have no one to blame but yourself when things take a turn for the worse. Let me know how that goes, will you? I like to be aware of current events and disasters.

[conceptually]

Dude, you are negative! I'm not gonna judge you and your family ties, man, but you know if you think something's gonna end in disaster, it's more likely to, right?

Not gonna tell you to go, wispy, but keep your bad vibes over there, please and thanks.

[Well that's... unexpected. He looks detached, but he's genuinely curious.] And if I don't?

[conceptually]

Then... I don't know? I might have to ask you to leave? Or I'll start regaling you with a bunch of gross, fun, sappy sibling stories, and you'll probably want to leave, anyway?

[ribeadh]

[GROSS he's smiling. Gross! He's amused!] You really should have a proper plan set in place, love. Always best to be prepared.

[conceptually]

Please don't call me 'love'. And you know, I don't usually plan to chase people away? Maybe that's a character flaw. But you haven't really done anything other than Negative Nancy all over the place, so. You can hang around.

Blowing things up is awesome.

[conceptually]

Right? Like -- of course, I've never blown anything up in real life, but so far, video games have made it feel pretty satisfying.

[charliekellyrat]

You should blow up some things in real life, miss. Much more awesome than video games, 'cause you get to see all the bits and pieces fly everywhere and you get to smell the fire!

Fire smell is like, one of my favorite smells of all time.

You know, I've always wanted to hit the button on one of those like... building collapsing ones? Like the ones that look like they're getting devoured whole by the earth? Total bucket list item.
