Well, c'mon, lil pardner, don't I get a real face? A nice big grin, all the chompers I can call my own — why, what was it that dullard said about me? I look like anybody you meet on the street. Yes, I do! Any face, any face at all! Step right up, don't be shy! Just so's long's there's a smile. You know me. Easy to please, both myself and others.

And I like this little game of ours. What an adorable little stand-off we have here. Maybe you can get in my head, maybe you can! It's been done, I won't lie. I certainly don't even have a piece-a crap tin foil hat at the moment. You got me dead to rights, officer, and confiscated all my toys. So here I'll stay, as you please. Bide a while. Get to know you. How's that? We'll be friends real soon. I know it.

How do you speak if you do not have a face?

[flagg]

That is for sure one of life's conundrums, my friend. I also used to wonder in what orifice exactly sailors wanted to fuck mermaids.

[wontturntofoam]

I--

[Well, it's a little alarming that you went directly there.]

I was not aware that that was a thing which... sailors desired to do. But surely you yourself know how it is that you are capable of speech?

[norea]

What a terribly laid-back approach you have.

[flagg]

I know when I'm beat, sister. No doors, no roads, no friends. Nothing but my pretty little self in a dark little cage. What could I possibly do?

Then again, here I am talking to you. Now that must be some kind of blessing, hallelujah amen, say true.

[norea]

Is it, now? I'm afraid I can't do much to remedy your stand-off, but far be it from me to cast a shadow on a man's blessing.

[viraltentacles]

Being optimistic, are you?

[flagg]

Rose-colored glasses, that's me. And if I do say so myself, that is a handsome outfit you've got there, partner.

[viraltentacles]

...It's not an outfit.

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

...I share headspace with someone who is, in a very meta way, kinda scared shitless of you.

[flagg]

Implying, of course, that you yourself are not. Which is only wise, kiddo, and I can tell you are indeed wise beyond your years. Nothing to be scared of here, may I be stricken down if I tell a lie.

[pigtailsbutterflyknives]

Me? Afraid? [Snort.] Nah, this head-space room-mate of mine? She says you and she come from the same creator.

[otherworldsthanthese]

Great. I'm not surprised, but I really was hoping you actually were really dead, this time.

[flagg]

Why, Jake, I do declare! My blue-eyed boy! How far you've come. Excuse me, there's just a, a, dust mote in my eye.

[tinfoil_angel]

[Well Karl supposes he can give the guy his tinfoil hat.]

Here, didn't know people actually knew this worked.

[flagg]

Oh! I just couldn't. You're too kind. Admittedly, my prior set-up was a bit more complex, but what does that matter if it doesn't fucking work? I suppose they can't be blamed for not anticipating a telepathic eldritch spiderbaby would suck me dry instead, but seriously. Law. Suit.

[tinfoil_angel]

He shrugged "If you say so." He put the hat back on and his hat back along with it.

This seems to work pretty well against some other telepaths I know. Keeps their sex lives out of my head.

So your post made me bring out this guy

[noniceguy]

I've seen your face; if that even is your real face. You're better off staying in the shadows. [And shit, Larry thought you were gone for good.]

oh my god I had no idea anybody played any Stephen King characters mO_Om

[flagg]

I'll admit, Larry, you saw me with my pants down. [Giggle.] So did Nadine, for that matter. But it's been many years since then. Many years and many roads! Yet not so many that I can't look back and catch a few updates from our favorite show, I Love Lucy. Did you know she had twins? Zowie, what a woman!

OH MY GOD... OH GOD.. OH MY GOD..

[oH SHIT MUN IS FLAILING FJALDKJKLADJ

/QUIETLY LEAVES THIS THREAD NOW.]

[dontcallmegeraldo]

[Oh just.. fuck his life.]

oh my god ;u;

[flagg]

Well butter my ass and call me a biscuit, it's a goddamn reunion! Stu, buddy, how's it been, how're the kids! How's Frannie! How's the leg!

[crimson_king]

Thou art as amusing as ever, my loyal and faithful servent.

[impure_tale]

Any face, but one smile?

I suspect there's a story in that.

[paterpeacock]

My, myy... whatever do you need with a face, with such a sharp tongue?
