why. just why. (cross-posted on dear_player for maximum...effect? eh.)

Congratulations, you failed to keep me out of your head. I'd say I'm honored but we both know that's far from the truth.

[ ... ]

So. I thought you were gonna play me straight from canon--oh, shut up--since you were thinking about joining a game. So what's with the parody inspired journal name?

Oh. You're that kind of indecisive. Great.

Why do you keep talking to yourself?

[shutupnail]

I--

[Oh crap, it's the old guy from Namek and Nail is not-so-quietly freaking out in his head.]

Okay, fine, not freaking out just annoying the hell out of me.

[ beat ]

Look old man, I'm not talking to myself. I'm talking to the voice in my head.

[Because that's so much better.] Shut up.

[nail_cleanthatup]

[Is either unphased or just too lethargic to show any real surprised at this.]

It is quite a shame. Only the weakest of our kind fall into such mental degradation.

I am sure the one you spawned from is ashamed of their failed line.

[shutupnail]

No- I- He- [That insult somehow hit double and has Piccolo sputtering nonsense trying to figure out how to respond. Meanwhile, Nail is laughing his metaphorical ass off.]

NO! I'm not- I mean, he's not-! It's, hrrn, [flat:] he's dead.

And I'm not weak! It's just that one of your stupid progeny is up here and he won't fade like he's supposed to!

[nail_cleanthatup]

You're speaking to the dead now. It's already getting worse.

At least the one that spawned you isn't alive to see this shame.

[Sits heavily in his seat and shakes his head, "tsk"-ing sadly.]

[shutupnail]

[ ... ]

...is it even worth trying to explain to him?

[Probably not. But it could be amusing to listen to.]

All right, I'm gonna give this one more try. I fused with Nail and now he's in my head and refuses to go away.

[nail_cleanthatup]

You fused with Nail? Ah, I see now.

[The big guy nods sagely.]

So he's completed his two life goals.

Being useless and being deep, deep inside his boyfriend.

things one prolly shouldn't do while at work: this. all of this.

[shutupnail]

Oh good, he finally--

[Oh, not again.]

IT'S NOT LIKE THAT- wait, again? Uhh...

[No, no. Not me. Him. He's always on about-]

BUT YOU'RE THE ONE THAT SUGGESTED I LOWER MY HAND!

[ ... ]

[nail_cleanthatup]

Ah, the lovers quarrel. Nail, you need to be more honest with your boyfriend.

[Because Super Kami Guru is obviously the best person to give advice.]

[shutupnail]

[It was a joke! And... I'd ask you to tell him I did it out of desperation and not, you know, but it'd be a futile effort.]

Yeah... I wouldn't phrase it that way either.

Hey. Is there any way to make him disappear more quickly? He's driving me insane.

[nail_cleanthatup]

I have never heard of it lasting so long. One of you must truly be in love.

[shutupnail]

[ ... ]

He was a little desperate to get in here.

[I thought you didn't like the phrasing of that.

-Yeah, well, now I'm just resigned to having a little fun at your expense. Because clearly this isn't going away any time soon.-]

Has he always been this clingy?
