voice testing this sulky jerk

[smilederek]

Just so we're entirely clear on this: You do not need an icon of me rolling around on the floor shirtless, and no I do not do it all the time.

And just for the record? There is a difference between undergoing involuntary bodily spasms due to being electrocuted and "rolling around".

Comments

[charring]

Yeah. A huge difference. One is fun.

[scarlet_discord]

You shirtless? Not a terrible prospect. You electrocuted, that's another story.

[smilederek]

I wouldn't know.

[Suuuuuuuuuuuuulk.]

[smilederek]

I can't say I'd recommend it.

[WAIT. Did he just accidentally diss his own shirtless chest.]

The electrocution.

[There we go. Two whole words worth of clarification.]

[charring]

[Charlie's used to sulky supernatural beings. So you, sir, get a blank look at the sulking.]

You should try it sometime. Or...y'know...just relaxing a tiny bit.

[smilederek]

I'm not giving her an excuse to find an icon of it.

[Besides, how good can rolling around on the floor really be? It's probably not even good exercise.]

[alwaysrobin]

Yeah but you were still rolling around. .. In pain. These guys and girls seem to like that sort of thing. So what? Indulge, man. Take advantage of it.

[rainfading]

Well, how often do you get electrocuted?

[charring]

Muns never need encouragement to indulge in insanity.

[...Charlie's mind just went to a bad place thinking of what kind of 'exercise' can be done on the floor.]

[scarlet_discord]

Yeah, people tend to forget that being tough also means that you can hurt more.

As for the other, well, you're gonna have to live with the fact that people who like guys are gonna wanna see you shirtless. Don't be embarrassed! There are a lot worse things.

[smilederek]

I was not rolling around in pain.

[Mere pain is not enough to make Derek roll around! Electrical impulses making his muscles all spasm, on the other hand...]

Is that really your response to people taking this much pleasure in your discomfort?

[smilederek]

Twice.

[Pause]

But I only fell down the first time.

[alwaysrobin]

I'm just saying, maybe going along with a bit of harmless fangirling for a bit more pain and stress-free hours, wherever we are?

[rainfading]

Wow, you really object to the thought of "rolling around on the floor", don't you.

[smilederek]

So we should just lie down and accept that they're going to do whatever they want, and that we can't stop them?

[Derek was totally just thinking of sit ups and whatnot. He exercises the pain away.]

[charring]

How do you propose to stop them from inside their head?

[smilederek]

I can take it.

And I'm not embarrassed about being seen shirtless. I just have a bit of a problem with women getting off on my pain.

[smilederek]

And how long do you think these hours are going to stay pain and stress-free if the people who control our lives think we look nice naked and suffering?

[smilederek]

It's just not a situation I want her to try and replicate here.

[smilederek]

Oh, I don't know, maybe I'll just do absolutely nothing, since everyone else seems to think that's such a brilliant idea.

[charring]

If it works, let me know.

[rainfading]

I was gonna say, they usually only upload icons with a plan in mind. I speak from experience on that one.

I would be more concerned with what that plan might be! Pick your battles, you know. Don't get electrocuted again, man, or at least find whoever's so taser-happy in your vicinity and preemptively punch them.

[smilederek]

Sure. You'll be the first one I'll call when my 'fighting something with nothing' strategy finally pays off.

[smilederek]

What did yours do to you?

And believe me, I don't start anything I can't finish. The person who did that to me isn't a problem any longer.

[charring]

Does sarcasm win you many friends? I'm just wondering.
