[blueeggsredfeathers]

So you finally got yourself to work on getting me into this whole "dream width" thing. Honestly, I'm amazed. Thought you were too lazy to do it. I guess miracles really do happen.

Can't say I'm too excited being around a bunch of weirdos I don't know. Not that they'll be any better from the weirdos I do know.

Eh. I said I wanted an adventure after so long. Guess I'll just take what comes to me.


... By the way, what was that whole thing about a hysterical kingdom?

Who're you calling a weirdo?

[blueeggsredfeathers]

People like you, lizardlegs.

[randallboggs]

You'd never scare anyone, looking like you.

[blueeggsredfeathers]

Like you look any scarier than I do. Isn't there a rock you should be sunbathing on?

[randallboggs]

Look. I'm one of the best scarers around and monsters like you should be.... serving lunch at the local cafe or something.

[blueeggsredfeathers]

I'm a bird, not a monster. Besides, if I wanted a lame job, I'd just be a mechanic. I'm more familiar with it.

[folkscallmewander]

Aw, don' be callin' everyone weirdos! It's a lotta fun gettin' t'meet all these folks 'round here!

[blueeggsredfeathers]

Eh, I guess. Doubt they'll have any jiggies on hand, but meeting new people is always entertaining. Again, I'll just take what comes to me.

You don't seem too off, at least.

[folkscallmewander]

Thanks! [He flashes a quick grin. That was a compliment, right?]

That's the nice thin' 'bout travelin' : there's so many people from different worlds that every day's there's somethin' excitin' happenin'.

Y'say you're lookin' for jiggies? I don't know what those are, but don't doubt that someone can help you find 'em.

[blueeggsredfeathers]

Uh, jigsaw pieces. I dunno, just kinda used to calling them that after so long.

[folkscallmewander]

Oh. That makes sense, then! You puttin' together a giant puzzle?

[blueeggsredfeathers]

... You know, now that you mention it, I think somewhere down the line it just stopped being putting together puzzles and just... collecting the pieces.

[thneedisgreat]

Aw! A talking swomee swan! How cool is that?!

[blueeggsredfeathers]

... Swo-what? I'm a breegull.

[thneedisgreat]

A breegull? Huh.

I suppose you do seem a lot more with-it than the swans.

[blueeggsredfeathers]

I'm a lot less stuck-up than a swan, that's for sure.

So who're you?

[thneedisgreat]

I'm the Once-ler. The "the" is purely optional.

Nice to meet you, um....?

[dimeliora]

Freaks, weirdos, and low-profile psychopaths, it's all such a treat, isn't it?

[Just... sipping at a glass of whiskey.]

[blueeggsredfeathers]

Well, if you can call that sort of thing a treat. At least it's something exciting.

[dimeliora]

That might depend on how sober you are, or that could just be me.

But a few of the people make it worth it.

[bluehairedotaku]

It's a game for another game called Disgaea! It has demons, fantasy, and exploding penguins! It's one of the best RPGs out there, shame on you for not knowing.

You'll be surprised by the bunch of weirdos you'll find there if you think we're all weird.

[blueeggsredfeathers]

This-guy-uh?

Oh yeah, my mun has mentioned it a few times. Wouldn't know about it myself; don't really care much about arr-pee-gees.

... Though hearing it having "fantasy" and "exploding penguins" in the same sentence... keep going, blue-bangs. You got me interested.

[bluehairedotaku]

RPGs are the best genre! Some are even mixed up with visual novels and ero games! Disgaea isn't either of the two, but it's amazing.

You wake up as a demon overlord that overslept for a thousand years like Rita Repulsa from that show that used Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger footage, because you were about to be murdered by a lovely angel that's cheerful on her mission. You are also accompanied by a demon chick that uses these penguins like waiters, cooks, boot-cleaners, camp-makers, fighters, chairs, and hand grenades.

Levels can go to over nine thousand!

[blueeggsredfeathers]

Huh. Dunno what koo-whateveryoucalledit is, but nice to see Rita's still having a career after that dopey Power Ranger show.

Penguin servants and abnormally high level caps, eh? I'm interested.

[bluehairedotaku]

I'm very happy to know, bird-san! [Avoiding calling her Kazooie as, while a british game now owned by Microsoft Game Studios instead of Nintendo, she did play the shit out of an N64 her dad kept around.] Because you'll go there and find even weirder people than us. You'll feel right at home in it, so do not worry!
