Going to ink_city with his bro, oh yeah

[the_lion_roller]

[Canon is Wild Kratts]

Aaalright, Mundane! You're finally finishing that app up and you're going to send me to the city! And tonight even, right? Awesome!! And my bro is going to be there too? Even more awesome!!!

I can't wait to see what kind of new and exciting creatures we're gonna meet there. And just think of the adventures we'll have!!

[There's a lot of robots there, Martin, please don't get yourself squashed too quickly. I rather like you.]

So Mun. Do you think I could give you a nickname? I need something more unique to call you than just "Mundane" or "Mun".

Oh, come on, pleeease? So, you have about 4 or 5 nicknames already...what's one more?

Well, can I at least give some of your other muses nicknames? What about that cute, little, furry guy that Chris befriended? He's adorable! I can give him a nickname, right?

What? What do you mean, "He already has a nickname,"!? Awww man, who keeps beating me to the nicknaming around here?

Comments

[beingthecreature]

Bro! Hey! [Someone's just barely resisting abruptly hugging him. His mun's enthusiasm must be catching.]

[He laughs a bit.] Aha, somehow I knew you of all people would give your mun a nickname. I gotta ask, any ideas yet?

[the_lion_roller]

Hey! There you are! [Aw come on, bro hugs? Bro hugs are cool, right?]

Oh yeah. Can't just call my mun what everyone else does. My mun is special!

[...Thanks, Martin.]

And nothing yet. I've got a feeling she's going to be a tricky one to nickname. Kinda like Spotswat was. But I know I'm gonna think of a good one eventually.

[beingthecreature]

[Yeah alright, bro hugs are cool. So he gives him a big one, thumping him on the back a few times before stepping back with a grin.]

Yeah, you always do. I'm sure the more you hang around her, the greater the chance of something coming to you. Remember how you named Splashclaw?

[the_lion_roller]

[Woo!]

Oh yeah! Hey, you're right. And it was the same kind of thing with Spotswat, come to think of it.

Alright! Guess I've got some observations to do.

[...]

[beingthecreature]

Observations, one of the things we do best. [Snickers] Literally.

[the_lion_roller]

You know it.

[Grinning. Highfive, right? Highfive?]

[beingthecreature]

['Course highfive! He wouldn't leave a bro hanging.]

[the_lion_roller]

[Yeah!

Also, watch him get a sort of flat, lop-sided grin directly afterwards.]

By the way, Bro. I totally saw all of that.

[Because Chris knows what "all of that" was.]

[beingthecreature]

[He has a feeling, but watch him pretend he doesn't.] Uhh, what are you talking about, Martin? We haven't been around each other lately. [Besides that one musebox post, but that hasn't technically happened. Yet.]

[the_lion_roller]

[Are we in Egypt? Cuz I think I see denial.]

Nice try. But my mun gave me front row seats to "Chris the Gazelle: On Ice". ...Linoleum. ...Whatever this floor is made of.

[He taps his foot on the floor out of curiosity and then looks back up, a mock-suspicious look on his face.]

Heeeeyyy, you weren't the one who nicknamed Pipsqueak, "Pipsqueak", were you?

[Detective Martin Kratt. On the case of the "Incredibly Literal Creature Nickname that He Didn't Get to Make-Up".]

[beingthecreature]

Oh that. Right...

[Oh hey new subject! Sort of.]

No, of course I didn't nickname him! I'm not sure where he got it from, heck I didn't even know to call him "Pipsqueak" until recently.

[the_lion_roller]

[He'll let you off the hook for now, but he still thinks that was funny. And painful looking. But mostly funny.]

Aw, man, I've got to figure this out, because he even answers to it and everything!

[Nicknaming is his thing, you know? And his mun is a meanie and won't tell him.]

I'd love to know exactly what kind of creature he is too. I mean, he mostly looks like a bear, but he also sorta resembles a koala? And a rabbit.

[Because his mun won't tell him that either.]

[slendy_ohcrap]

[Congratulations, Martin Kratts! You just encountered a wild Slenderman!]

[the_lion_roller]

[Don't tempt him.]

Woah!! You are really...tall!

[Slenderman? Meet Martin Kratt.]

What's up, dude?

[Hard to tell if that's intended as a joke or not.]

[slendy_ohcrap]

[Slenderman moves closer, his featureless face apparent, an paranormal hum coming into the air.]

[the_lion_roller]

[Man, what's that hum in the air? ...Are there mosquitoes around here? Don't mind him actually looking for the mosquitoes for a moment. Mosquitoes are an important part of a lot of ecosystems, you know.]

So, you have a name?

[Martin, please don't nickname Slenderman.]

[slendy_ohcrap]

[The hum is somewhat metallic and grew into an unnatural screech, and Slenderman drifted even closer]

[the_lion_roller]

[Okay, whoever's doing the construction work or playing the Yoko Ono music around here needs to tune it down a bit.]

Ah, you're the strong, silent type, aren't you?

My name's Martin.

[This guy holds conversations with animals. He'll just keep talking really.]

[slendy_ohcrap]

[All electronics near Slenderman begin to go haywire. As he gets closer to Martin, asthmatic symptoms begin to show up...]

[the_lion_roller]

Woah!!

[He jumps as a device on one of the gloves he wears short-circuits out, and then blinks as the center disk on the vest he wears sparks a little as well.]

Aww man! What was that? Don't tell me something's wrong with my power suit. And it looks like my Creature Pod burned out. Ahhh, I better go get this checked out.

I'll catch you later, buddy, okay?

[Have a wave, Slenderman. Doot do doo, gonna go head off and see if Chris can figure out what's up with his creature power suit. Maybe if they find an Aviva, she could take a look at it. Hey, when did it get so stuffy in here? This place needs some windows...]

[slendy_ohcrap]

[Slenderman teleports into his path, closer than ever. His hidden tentacles suddenly appear, waving in clear aggression as the hum got to its screechiest yet!]

[regularbird]

My mun wants me to tell you that I'm one of the "new and exciting creatures."

His sense of humor has been kinda lacking lately.

[the_lion_roller]

Oh man, you're a blue jay! And you're talking!! Ah, this is so cool!!!

[Easy there, Martin. Let's amp that energy down to a 9, okay?]

Aw, sorry to hear about your Mun though.

[regularbird]

[Resist the urge to facepalm, Mordecai, he's new here.]

Yeah yeah, giant talking, walking blue jay who can barely fly. One of a kind, man.

... Also I was insulting him, if you couldn't tell.

[the_lion_roller]

[You'll just end up with a permanent hand print on your forehead anyway, Mordi. He does a lot of facepalm-worthy things.]

You can't fly? But blue jays aren't one of the flightless bird species.

[An animal curiosity! Perhaps even a creature in trouble if Mordecai can't do what blue jays do naturally. To the creature rescue- Martin, sit down.]

Oh. Hah. Well, I guess that's not so bad then. I thought your mun might be suffering from some sort of horrible humor deprivation or something.

[Because Martin took you completely literally.]

[regularbird]

Most blue jays aren't six feet tall and wingless. [Eyeroll.

[And then this look like "are you serious?"]

[the_lion_roller]

[Serious like a...something that's serious.]

Wingless? Your forearms aren't wings?

Hah. Good point about the six feet tall though. Maybe you're part ostrich?

[Okay, that one's actually a joke. ...I think]

[chucknorris_dino]

Gon!

[the_lion_roller]

[See his face in the icon, Gon? That's pretty much his expression right now.]

Oh man oh man oh man, are you a dinosaur? You are a dinosaur, right? I can't believe I'm meeting an actual dinosaur! This place is amazing!!

[chucknorris_dino]

[Right back at ya Martin, and thus Gon observes you curiously like a dinosaur hatchling would.]

Gon, gon.

[the_lion_roller]

[Observing you right back. With great enthusiasm. It's not every day...or ever, really, that you get to see a living, breathing dinosaur in action.]

Aw, hey therrre.

[He leans a little, tilting his head as well to get as good a look at Gon as he can without invading his space too much.]

Hmmm...bi-pedal motion...and sharp teeth. Most likely some sort of theropod...

[Taking mental notes like a boss.]

Too late to comment! X(
