The Aftereffects of Marathoning a Show in One Day

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!

[Hey Steven. It might now the best time but there's a kind of scary looking guy. A big scary looking guy. The man towers above a young tween like Steven; man, the giant red cloak that coils around him is probably the size of at least three showers curtains if you can imagine that, Steven. At least three. The scary red skull mask doesn't help either. Really, the guy could give Jasper a run for her money in scary looks.

And then he tries to speak.]

Iuh.....Iiiuuhhh....

[The stutter is very palpable as the man tries to speak. Despite his appearance, his voice is soft and weak; not from a lack of purpose in what he's trying to say, but the sheer difficulty of trying to get them to come out.]

Iuuhh....It's okay to be sa-sad sometimes, buh-but they won't always be. It's guh....guh...good of you, to help your m-mun....

[ Steven looks up at the man with genuine concern. ] Hey mister, uh, you okay? All that stuff you're wearing looks kinda heavy.

O-oh....! I-I'm very used to it by now. It doesn't buh....bother me much.

[What a considerate young man. Rando wonders if most children were like this; he hadn't ceased to be a child himself until shortly before the Flash, and it was hard for him to say his memory wasn't skewed at least a little bit on his own memories of childhood. Regardless, kids weren't something you saw much of in Oliathe now. Or ever. Or anywhere, he supposed.]
