Hapy Birthday-And-Oncoming-Destruction-Of-Home-Day, Megamind

[mygiantbluehead]

Why you think there is anything - anything - worth celebrating today is utterly beyond me.

Comments

Oh hey~!

[deusrexmachina]

[Taking a moment to examine that subject line.]

Yeeaaahhh, that's a really tough combination right there, to put it mildly.

Hey there! :D

[mygiantbluehead]

And rather than observe my wishes, she persists in making an exhibition of it.

[deusrexmachina]

Typical mun behavior, really.

[Then he smiles a bit.]

But other than your mun causing issues, how've you been, Megamind? Been a while.

[mygiantbluehead]

It has!

[He's able to return the smile. Rex might have been... grating, in the past, but Megamind's perspective has changed since then. It's good to see him again.]

Well, she hasn't been too bad for the most part, I suppose. I was in another game for a while, but then she dropped out - laziness, I call it - and since then she's been quiet. Focusing on shool, she says, although I can't see that she ever gets any work done.

[deusrexmachina]

[For his part, the kid's grown up a bit more. Taken on more responsibility, learned to be a little more mature. Though this isn't to say he doesn't still grate on some people's nerves, occasionally...]

Well, look at it this way... Means she's had less time to harass you. One good thing about it, anyway.

I have missed seeing you around though, amigo. You always had a way of keeping things interesting!

[mygiantbluehead]

Which is why I've been keeping rather quiet - quite a task, I'll have you know.

[He perks up a bit when Rex says he's missed him. For all his pretences, at heart Megamind is just a kid who wants attention.]

I do, don't I? Although, you must tell me - would a lack of villainous antics make me more or less interesting?

[Flippant though he tries to keep his tone, there's a distinct note of genuine concern accompanying that question. Megamind doesn't want to lose the limelight.]

[deusrexmachina]

[Huh, now there's an interesting question. "A lack of villainous antics"? What have you been up to, Megamind? Rex allows a smirk to cross his features while thoughtfully rubbing at his chin.]

To be honest with you? I don't think villainous antics have anything to do with being interesting. Sure, doing evil deeds will get any real hero's attention a lot quicker, but even the most cliche plans can do that if they threaten to cause problems, am I right?

So I'm gonna say being interesting in anything you do has more to do with personality, flare...possibly presentation.

[There may be a bit of a knowing look there for you, Megamind. The kid remembers how you operate.]

[gesturedtoallofme]

...Wow. That's really, uh. Something.

[mygiantbluehead]

Yes, the typo is shameful, isn't it? She really can't do anything right.

[gesturedtoallofme]

I was talking about the destruction of home part.

[mygiantbluehead]

It's called deflooction tactics.

[gesturedtoallofme]

Oh. [In retrospect, that might have been kind of obvious. Whoops.] Sorry about that.

Happy birthday, though?

[mygiantbluehead]

Mmm. [Oh, wait, he's supposed to say something now, isn't he?] Ah - thank you.

I suppose it has been a good year.

[gesturedtoallofme]

You're welcome.

Yeah? What's it been like for you?

[hidesunderbeds]

...And why do you deserve to be celebrated at all?

[mygiantbluehead]

If you actually think I am trying to solicit celebration rather than reject it, your comprehension must be less than that of a slug.

[Megamind pauses to look Pitch up and down.]

...A comparison apt in more ways than one.

In which the mun reads the original post entirely wrong. Whoops.

[hidesunderbeds]

Of course I don't think that. I was simply commenting on your mun's... attempts at celebration.

[ OOC: I really shouldn't read Dreamwidth posts at like seven in the morning. :'D ]

Awww, it's fine! <3

[mygiantbluehead]

Oh, sure you were.

[Megamind is still offended either way; either this guy doesn't consider him important enough to understand what he's saying, or he just doesn't think he's worth celebrating. He is worth celebrating! Just... not today.]

Don't worry. Your stupidity only means you can better blend in with the common rabble.

[notpanicking]

I think you're worth celebrating.

[mygiantbluehead]

Then you're part of a very small group.

[Sorry, Roxanne, he's too wrapped up in woe to be perked up immediately.]

[notpanicking]

...Fine - small, but important.

Right?

[mygiantbluehead]

Hmph. If you insist.

[notpanicking]

Of course I do. Come here.

[mygiantbluehead]

[Sigh. Shuffle shuffle. Head inching towards shoulder.

Flopple snug cling.]

[soangryicouldtinkle]

How about you celebrate the fact your existence is short and, if you're lucky, it'll end painlessly before the void tears apart the fabric of existence? From what I hear, feeling every atom of your body being torn away is probably the worse pain ever.

[mygiantbluehead]

[He flinches noticeably at that, then crosses his arms across his chest almost defensively.]

I'll bear that in mind.

[soangryicouldtinkle]

Cheer up, it could always be worse.

You could have your face eaten, like the guy in that closet over there.

[mygiantbluehead]

Gee, what a comfort.

[soangryicouldtinkle]

Besides, I don't think your face would taste as good.

[mygiantbluehead]

[Hmph!]

My face in fantastic.

[Megamind what are you doing.]

[soangryicouldtinkle]

Really?

So, would you say it goes better with garlic or mustard?

[mygiantbluehead]

Neither! It goes with intelligent conversation and Jee-an Paul Gott-ee-hair's pour homme!

[soangryicouldtinkle]

Well, since I'm not going to find either of those here, let's just cut to the chase.

Is that head mostly bone or mostly tender brain meat?

I'm not asking because I have a zombie to feed, just for the record.

[memorycollector]

Oh. Um. That's...quite a mix of events.

[mygiantbluehead]

Yes, that's one way of putting it.

[memorycollector]

I'm sure they only meant for you to celebrate your birthday, and not that...other part.

[rrbando_rambo]

Well...if there were any way ta go out, it'd be with cake an' ice cream.

[mygiantbluehead]

...You know, that really isn't a bad idea.

And mooshmallows, too, of course!

[rrbando_rambo]

Yeah yeah! [Dale bobbed his head with vigor. When an idea of his caught on favorably, he was a very happy chipmunk.]

An' it's not too late ta get th' ones that taste like peppermint and gingerbread.

[Although, he couldn't be certain he enjoyed anything more than the chocolate variety, himself. It couldn't hurt to talk about marshmallows, after all this blue fellow looked like he needed some cheering up!]
