showing up three years late with non-mouldy sandwiches

[invisiblesandwich]

Welcome to the inside of my head, mun-dude, I'm sure we're gonna get on just fine, you and me and all the other mun-dudes I got inside my head.

...wait, what do you mean that's not how it works?

Comments

[wherenoonegoes]

Yeah, sorry pal. It's the other way around.

[Your eyes do not deceive you Fred. This is a skinny viking idly scratching a big, black dragon behind its ear-flaps.

[tenacious_g]

Whoa...what's it look like on the inside of someone's head?

And why are you being eaten by a monster? -or is that your mun!

[invisiblesandwich]

[WHOA]

[big eyes bugging out] It is? That got anything to do with the huge dragon?

...canIpethimcanIpethimcanIpethimplease?

[invisiblesandwich]

Don't freak out! Mine's mostly food, and kaiju, oh, and there's a lotta plants for some reason.

Nah, 'sokay little man. I have a MONSTER SUIT.

[tenacious_g]

That's some weird head you got there. What's a kaiju?

Oh~ it's a suit! Is that your Halloween costume?

[invisiblesandwich]

Hey! [...realising, then grinning proudly] Yeah, it's pretty weird. You wanna take a look? It helps me FIGHT ~EVIL~ but I guess I could use it for Halloween!

It's, it's kind of a monster, but that's not an exact translation? I'm not good at Spanish...

[tenacious_g]

Can I? [He bounces in place excitedly.] Is it a magic suit? How does it work? Maybe next Halloween I should be a monster! Right now I'm an elephant- see? [Points up at the teapot on his head.]

Oh, it's okay. I don't know any Spanish either.

[invisiblesandwich]

Oh, I got TWO amazing costumes, sorry, I wasn't clear! Yeah, it works through the magic of science, about which I know this much -

[finger and thumb about thousandth of an inch apart]

- and I have THIS much enthusiasm!

[hands stretched out wide]

You could totally be a monster, little guy! It's an awesome life!

What's it like being a teapot?

[tenacious_g]

[Greg looks impressed either way.]

I'd say that makes up for it, lots!

[Thumbs up!]

So what do you do as a monster when there's no evil to fight?

-it's an elephant [helpfully correcting!] Kinda dull, actually. I haven't done very many elephant things.

[baymaxing]

Er--I don't think that's....quite how it works, Fred.

[Hi bud.]

[invisiblesandwich]

[Okay, I like you, little guy]

You're an awesome kid, you know that? I'm Fred, by the way.

Jump around a lot and BREATHE FIRE. It's AWESOME.

Oh, gotcha! D'you wanna?

[invisiblesandwich]

[blinkblink]

[...blink]

It's not?

...Hiro!

[THAT'S IT, YOU'RE GETTING AN ARMFUL OF MASCOT 'COS I'M GONNA HUG YOU]

[baymaxing]

Fre--oh.

[Oof. The problem with being so small, everyone can just do this to him. Still, he seems more receptive to it than he might have been previously. Awkwardly attempting to return the hug a bit.]

Hey.

[tenacious_g]

You think so? [So very pleased to hear it.] I'm Greg. Nice meeting you around here. I've been told there's some weird people around this place, but you seem to know how to have fun.

See? That sounds fun. Doesn't breathing fire hurt though?

...yeah! Got any suggestions?

[invisiblesandwich]

[SQUISHING YOU HAPPILY then letting you go]

[it's appreciated!]

It's good to see you! Now tell me what the heck you mean?

[baymaxing]

[oh good, now he can breathe again. Give him a sec, Fred.]

It's more....the other way around. You know. Us in their head. Not them in ours. If that makes any sense.

[invisiblesandwich]

[nodding ENTHUSIASTICALLY] I do, I do! Yeah, it's important to know how to have fun, Greg. It's the main reason I exist! Oh, and fighting evil, 'course.

Nah, it's okay! My science friend designed it so it doesn't flambe me from the inside, 'cos no one needs to have Fred Au Gratin or whatever that actually is in Polish.

You could always, um, roll around in mud? Drink through your nose? Trumpet?

[invisiblesandwich]

[you are so tiny and adorable and way smart, I'm just gonna beam at you proudly]

Huh.

Huhhhhh.

Okay, I guess that explains the Time Lord and the Vulcan and the guys I can't even pronounce.

[baymaxing]

Uh, probably. Yeah. That would be it. I don't know if I want to imagine what's going on in anyone's head but....

[He shrugs, giving a sheepish look.]

You're the third I've seen around here. Besides Baymax and Tadashi. Though I'm probably not that much more experienced with this than you are.

[invisiblesandwich]

It's probably best if you don't, yeah, I gotcha, Hiro.

I bet you've figured out all kinds of things already, though! You're way smart! [brightening] Baymax and Tadashi? AWESOME.

Except... you saw your brother? You, um, okay?

[baymaxing]

Right. Because you're totally the adult here.

[Even if Fred sometimes acts more Hiro's age. Though Hiro just seems amused at that.]

Ah, I haven't figured or done too much. She only more recently saw it this month since her country is behind like that. But....yeah. I'm okay. Just didn't expect it is all. He said...he's proud.

[tenacious_g]

I didn't know you could have fun while fighting evil. Hey, do you think I'd ever be able to fight evil too, Fred?

[Oh good, no fried Freds] Doesn't sound very good either way.

Hmm... Well, I did do the mud thing. And tried trumpeting too! I even pretended to be a ghost elephant! My brother wasn't impressed though.

[thehirohewanted]

Other way around, Fred. We're the head monsters.

[wherenoonegoes]

Nah, the dragon's mine. And I'd be fine with it, but it's not really up to me. What do you think Toothless? Gonna let him pet you?

[Toothless walks over to Fred, and butts him with his head. Give him all the petting, strange skinny person.]

just as long as they're not invisible

[nerdschoolgirl]

Um, Freddie... no, you're inside your mundane's head.

[But she's still very happy to see you.]
