Say Whaaaaaat?

[voice_seeker]

Karma, you say?  Karma!?

Mun, I think you're a little confused about that word. 

This isn't karma!  This is something bad about to befall me that is completely unrelated to my superhero shennanigans!  It's not a direct consequence of that, or even a situation unique to me!  It's just some unpleasant flying man-goat thing trying to mess with people!

And it's not like I was trying to be a jerk by impersoninating Spider-Man!  My intentions were pure, you know that!  How does the crime of accidentally being a jerk warrant being punished by becoming an actual jerk?  I'm sorry, but I'm not getting your logic here!

Waitwaitwait. Hold up there. Impersonating me...or at least a version of me anyways?

[voice_seeker]

Yeah. Sad to say, I impersonated the version of you in Nautilus.

He didn't take all too kindly to it.

[arach_nerd]

I'd say he'd have every right to, considering the number of times people have impersonated us to commit crimes.

Seriously, the hell were you thinking?

[voice_seeker]

I....y'see....there was a girl involved, OK?

Don't tell me you've never done anything stupid when a girl was involved!

[arach_nerd]

I've done plenty of stupid things when a girl was involved. Identity-theft wasn't one of them.

[voice_seeker]

Well, technically, Spider-Man isn't your true identity, right? At least I didn't steal that.

[arach_nerd]

True identity or not, it's still as much a part of who I am as the face under the mask

[voice_seeker]

I'm sorry, all right!

Wait, why am I apologzing to you? You're not even the Spidey who I wronged!

[arach_nerd]

Guilt, I figure.

But, really, what exactly did you DO?

[voice_seeker]

I tried posing as Spider-Man and broadcast a video feed offering a "hero service" to anyone who needed help, preferably girls, because I was trying to see if one certain, special girl in particular was in the city.

If she WAS in the city, then she never repsonded to the service annoucement, which went on for a while until the city's version of Spidey came and made me put a stop to it.

[arach_nerd]

You...are an idiot.

[voice_seeker]

How is that the Spidey I actually impersonated still treated me with more respect than you do?

[arach_nerd]

Look, just because I called you an idiot doesn't mean anything. I call my best friend an idiot. It's pretty low on my completely arbritary list of insult strength categories.

[voice_seeker]

Sigh.

I'm just glad Discord's spell isn't on me yet, and even if it was, that it doesn't affect me here. The things I might say then would just make things worse!

[adarkfallenstar]

Well, color me amused.

[voice_seeker]

Good. Your skin is gray , so you need all the color you can get.

[adarkfallenstar]

Ha, ha.

You are observant.

So clever.

[The sarcasm stings.]

[voice_seeker]

....Sorry.

Sigh. Maybe Discord's getting to me already....

[adarkfallenstar]

Whatever.

[eyeroll]

Perhaps.

[bewitched_charms]

You were always a jerk.

At least now you have an official title.

[voice_seeker]

Huh? How was I always a jerk? I thought I was a nice guy!

Isn't it the fact that I'm too nice what you routinely mock me for?

[bewitched_charms]

Nope. I couldn't care whether you were too nice or not.

I just like mocking you.

You make it so easy.

[voice_seeker]

You just like mocking me? Doesn't that technically make you a jerk?

..... Wait. If Discord ends up putting his opposite spell on you too....would that turn you nice?

[bewitched_charms]

See there you go again Eric, how could you call a girl a jerk?

[ She shudders for a moment at Eric's next comment. ]

It probably won't have an effect on me. [ LIES ]

[voice_seeker]

Isn't jerk a unisex term?

But I really hope it doesn't affect you, since you're my ace in the hole for when it affects me.

[bewitched_charms]

Ace? Whether it affects me or not, what makes you think I'll help you?

[voice_seeker]

Because apparently the key to stopping Discord's spell is that "Friendship is Magic."

You're my friend. You have magic. Therefore, you're the perfect source of help!

[bewitched_charms]

[ Charmcaster finds it hard to respond to Eric's incredibly lame comment. So instead...facepalm! ]

There is no word out there that can describe your lameness...

[voice_seeker]

Well, even if you decide not to help and I'm forced to rely on other friends, I can at least count on you to take care of Max while I'm off being a raging jackass. From what my Mun's shown me, you're surpisingly good at that.

[bewitched_charms]

You and your Mun are delusional...

What do I look like your dogs baby sitter?

Plus how do you even known the spell won't affect him too?

[voice_seeker]

[At hearing this, Max enters and starts growling. Eric steps back.]

Well, damn, you might have just jinxed things, Charm.....

[bewitched_charms]

What can I say...It's a gift. [ She smirks. ]

[voice_seeker]

[Max turns and starts growling at Charmcaster, then jumps at her as if to attack.]

[PSYCHE! Max drops the "affected by Discord" act and starts licking Charmcaster's face happily.]

[bewitched_charms]

I can't say I didn't see this coming. [ Charmcaster falls over. She struggles for a bit before just lying still. ]

Alright, alright Pooch that's enough.

We get the point.

[voice_seeker]

[Max barks, meaning "OK!", then bounds over to Eric and starts licking his face.]

Ha ha! Glad to see Discord hasn't started early after all!

[bewitched_charms]

[ Charmcaster gets up uses a spell to wipe her face. ]

I don't get why you are making such a fuss over this discord thing.

[voice_seeker]

I just got through making a complete ass of myself to the whole city by posing as Spider-Man, and I want to make amends to anyone I pissed off. To be turned into a jerk by Discord is the worst possible thing to happen at this point, and might make me more enemies.

[bewitched_charms]

Doesn't sound bad to me.

[voice_seeker]

[Eric sighs, then manages a smile.]

At least I know you'll never think any less of me, Charm. Or any better.

[bewitched_charms]

It would be impossible for me to think any less of you.

[voice_seeker]

....I know. That was the joke.

[bewitched_charms]

awwww And you expected me to laugh?

You don't need to make jokes to get me to laugh.

You being yourself is funny enough.

[voice_seeker]

After the Spider-Man debacle, saying I should just be myself is sound advice. Thanks, Charm, I really appreicate it!

[bewitched_charms]

[ What was with this guy, it's like he couldn't take an insult. ]

Spiderman should have just beat you up...
