The Aftereffects of Marathoning a Show in One Day

[funkyflow]

Hey, no! Uh, you shouldn't be sad. I can keep you company!

Or, they can! [ Steven gestures at the Dear Mun community. ] See? There's nothing to be upset about! Um...

[ He turns to a nearby character. ] Hey! I need help! This player needs cheering up!

He just got sad after he ran out of show to watch. I came to try and help cheer him up, but he said he wants to bring one of us to a game and he doesn't know what to do about it!

[ He shrugs and sits down next to her. ] Mun stuff is complicated.

[bootsandframes]

Well a game isn't so bad. There are some nice ones out there I think.

[She nods a bit.]

I don't really understand mine sometimes. I don't think she knows what to do with me either.

[funkyflow]

Oh. Well, maybe that's more of a natural thing than we think? Has your mun been thinking about bringing you somewhere?

[bootsandframes]

Not yet. [She shakes her head.]

She's got a lot of people up here to keep track of and I'm one of the newest.

[funkyflow]

But that means you're the most important one! You should be who she's the most excited about!

[bootsandframes]

She is! I mean, I think so! She got really excited about how I look in the new opening...

I think it might also be because I'm younger than the rest?

[funkyflow]

You look great! You have that big sword, and you look really happy!

There's nothing wrong with being young. I tried being old. It wasn't all that great.

[bootsandframes]

I know there's nothing wrong with it. It's mostly her because she like to do, well, romantic things with her muses.

[funkyflow]

Oh.

[ He goes a little pink in the face. ]

Well, there's plenty of other great stuff they could do with us! We could get ice cream, we could fight gem monsters, we could dance on the beach...

[bootsandframes]

That is fun.

[She laughs.]

But we do all of that anyway!

[funkyflow]

Well, yeah! See how much fun we have? They should hang out with us more.

[ He takes out his ukelele and fiddles with it, twanging a string here, tuning a knob there. ] I guess I don't really think about all that, uh... grown-up romantic stuff, much. Why can't I like everybody?

[bootsandframes]

I don't either, most of the time.

[She looks at her feet and wiggles them a bit.]

That's just what she's used to since most of her muses are older.

[funkyflow]

Well... I'll bet her other muses can't fuse! [ He blurts it out, quickly slapping his hands over his mouth afterwards. ]

I mean... [ (lowering his hands) ] that's something unique to us, right?
