You don't hafta worry Miss Mun. I got this! If you're nervous, I can cover for you. Just relax, have fun, and let me do the hard parts. H'okay? [He wrinkles his nose.] Talking's a cakewalk compared to battin' barf monsters.

Comments

Hey Ness, wanna be my friend? [] Yes [] Heck yes!

[pullsneedles]

Barf monsters are a new one on me.

[ x ] Yes^10000!!

[psiandsteak]

Yeah, I didn't even think that somethin' like that could exist until I stepped right into one! I guess cosmic evil really does affect everything, even puke. Blech.

[pullsneedles]

Ewwww.

My friends 'nd I musta lucked out that time we fought that Jealous Bass up in the attic. Still don't know how that happened.

1/?

[psiandsteak]

Luuuucky. The evil guy in your world's going easy on you.

How'd you beat it? Didja...

[psiandsteak]

[Wait for it. Waaaaait for it. Oh man he is grinning so hard right now this is gonna be great. Do you feel this atmosphere, Lucas? It is the ripening atmosphere of anticipation. Rub your face into it, Lucas, and breathe in its scent. Ness is giggling behind his hand right now.]

3/3

[psiandsteak]

... drop the Bass?

AFGLKNVRG WE ARE NOW THE BESTEST FRIENDS EVER

[pullsneedles]

[Lucas sporfles while his mun falls over.]

Why didn't we think of that?

EXCELLENT

[psiandsteak]

You were probably busy tryin' to cover your ears. Fighting instruments is terrible. 'Specially if they try singing.

[pullsneedles]

Y'mean you gotta fight instruments, too?

D'ya ever see any weird animals that're kinda part one thing and part another?

[psiandsteak]

Yeah, they mostly hang around the music store.

Nah, I don't think I have. That'd be a cool thing to see, though!

[pullsneedles]

Eh...

[Lucas makes a "sorta" gesture with his hand.]

[psiandsteak]

Just kinda? C'mon, imagine a lion-dinosaur or a dog-bat! How awesome would that be?

[pullsneedles]

Well, they don't seem too happy about it sometimes. It can mess'em up.

[psiandsteak]

... you've seen some before?

[kingofthetoybox]

Barf was the closest... monster of indecency that Giygas... [Cough, hack...] ... had in his troops without getting a little too awkward. You should be thankful for that... heh, Ness.

Yo. Been some time.

[psiandsteak]

Wow.

... you really let yourself go since the last time I saw you Porky. [Not that Porky had looked any better in that weird spider thing.]

[kingofthetoybox]

Was that a... potshot at my... weight? Heh. Well. When you're... living it up like a king? That's... [Cough, cough.] natural.

Bet... you're still as poor... as poor can be.

[psiandsteak]

Nah, I'm not that mean! You just seem kinda... [hmmm how to put this] ... tireder. Yeah, that's the word.

I'm not poor at all if I got my friends.

[kingofthetoybox]

Oh. That.

...

Time-travel does that. This is... about how long I waited... for you to come and be a hero again. The selfish, stupid... hero you've always been.

[psiandsteak]

Oh.

[He smiles.]

You missed me that much, huh?

[kingofthetoybox]

Sh-shut up...!

[The old man flails his arms, coughing and hacking in a wild fit. That definitely hit a nerve. It's just like old times.]

... I just... wanted to see whether... you'd live up to your so-called "friendship" bull. That's why... I kidnapped the nerd's dad. That's why I... gave you all those hints.

You didn't. So... I won. By forfeit.

[psiandsteak]

[That wipes the smile from his face.]

... so you were the one who made the chimeras?

[kingofthetoybox]

Oh. Yes. Cute, huh?

[While his smile only widens.]

[psiandsteak]

Why?

[kingofthetoybox]

Why what? I told... you I'd be back.
