Homeless; looking at a few games

[sneezeslikeakitten]

Aaand here we are, again. You dragged me out once, for all of a week, tossed me on the backburner for six months like unwanted gravy, and now suddenly you want me back out again?

Not to give you a hard time or anything, but do you really think you've got enough time to be doing this kind of multi-taskting?

[aduckorapanda]

Aw c'mon, Dip. Live a little! It's nice to get out every now and then.

[cr0aked]

pr0bably n0t
but it w0nt st0p them
it never d0es

[mopwop]

Fffpfpt! You're such a grouchy guts, Dipper! I think we need to remember to put a big ol' smile on that dial!

[sneezeslikeakitten]

[LSJDKJNFLA]

Wendy! I- well- yeah, I guess. But he's so flaky sometimes its kind of dumb to get my hopes up about actually going to a game.

[sneezeslikeakitten]

No kidding. If its one thing my mun's good at, its biting off more than he can chew.

[aduckorapanda]

Yeah, I can sympathize there. My dude was all flaky with me, but I don't really mind so much as long as I get to chill out every now and then with everybody.

If you get the chance to go somewhere, you should totally take it.

[sneezeslikeakitten]

Am not! I'm just fine, thank you very much, it's my mun that's the issue.

[cr0aked]

that seems t0 be a c0mm0n theme here
s0 y0ull be in g00d c0mpany
if thats a thing y0u care ab0ut

[sneezeslikeakitten]

That's true. I bet you have plenty of cool people to talk to, too.

Maybe. He's waffling between two ideas. I'm not so sure how I feel about one of them.

[sneezeslikeakitten]

Good company never hurts, I guess.

What about you? [Um. Ghosty frog lady...]

[cr0aked]

it hurts ab0ut as much as bad c0mpany in the l0ng run
id rather be left al0ne
but apparently thats imp0ssible even when im trapped in s0me0ne elses thinkpan
it d0esnt really matter what i want th0ugh s0 its n0t surprising

[kingofnightmares]

Muns are rather irritating like that, aren't they?

[sneezeslikeakitten]

Tell me about it.

[You are certainly interesting though, yes. He will be looking at you curiously.]

[kingofnightmares]

[And the boogeyman peers right back down at him.]

Is something the matter?

[sneezeslikeakitten]

They do seem to like doing whatever they want to us, whether we want them to or not.

[cr0aked]

its ann0ying
but y0u get used t0 it
their attenti0n span is kind 0f pathetic

[sneezeslikeakitten]

[You know, maybe he shouldn't jump to conclusions, but he just gets this weird unsettling feeling from this guy.]

No, not at all.

[kingofnightmares]

[And Pitch just smiles kindly, folding his hands behind his back.]

You look a little uneasy.

[sneezeslikeakitten]

My entire life is made up of me being uneasy. Really, uneasy is kind of my default.

[This isn't even a lie.]

[sneezeslikeakitten]

I definitely feel you there.

[Pauuuse...]

So, um. Are you ...a ghost?

[kingofnightmares]

I suppose it's a good thing to stay on your toes.

[He receeds back into a nearby shadow, only to reappear behind Dipper, with the use of the boy's shadow.]

Just be careful to not lose your balance.

[sneezeslikeakitten]

[WELL THAT WAS ALARMING. Dipper squeaks and takes a few quick steps back. Whoa now.]

I think I'll be just fine. I deal with all kinds of freaky stuff back home.

[This shadow business is new though, he might be reaching into his vest for his book.]

[never_asked]

Yeah, really love how they conveniently 'remember' us.

0u0!

[sneezeslikeakitten]

No kidding. It's always for really weird stuff, too. I don't know if I ever would have been dragged back out if it hadn't been to make dumb werecat jokes.

I'm starting to get the feeling that I live entirely to be humiliated by this guy.

Why hello there

[never_asked]

...werecat.

[That's a little weird, even by his standards.]

My mun just dragged me out for some dumb award thing...I don't think it really matters. Not like I win anything anyways.

HELLO INDEED do you come here oft-/shot

[sneezeslikeakitten]

Its ...a long story. [Pinches the bridge of his nose.] Apparently the fans of my show really had this thing for drawing me as a werecat? I dunno, either way, my mun's found a way to exploit that at this game I'm getting apped at.

[Pause.]

Ooooh. Yeah, I think I know exactly what you're talking about. My mun was getting pretty bent out of shape over it, too. Sorry, man.

[kingofnightmares]

[He raises his eyebrows, watching him reach into his vest for something. Pitch cranes his head to see.]

And what do you have there?

[cr0aked]

yes
but i am als0 a fr0g
ribbit

dippperrr! 8D

[otherfathering]

Y'kno~w... your sister's on reserve over at route_29, kiddo.

[Sorry about him. He knew the twins for a brief moment and he's partial to reuniting families.]

[sneezeslikeakitten]

A book.

[And he pulls it out. A journal and begins to flip through it. Shadow creatures???]

[kingofnightmares]

Doesn't look like an ordinary book to me.

[He glances down at it, seeing some of the pages. Gnomes, zombies...

Pitch soon laughs and shakes his head.]

I'm afraid I won't be in that book. I'm of universal knowledge.

Often as I tag (which is real slow)

[never_asked]

Yeah, that isn't as bad as the stuff my mun tries to get me involved with.

[Oh come on Norman nothing happened.]

It's ok, that bear movie looked pretty good. Wasn't expecting to win anyhow.

OH SNAP

[sneezeslikeakitten]

[......UH. Okay. Button eyes. RED FLAGS.]

Haha... you know, that was one of the places my mun was looking at! But uh, he decided its probably way too big for it to be a smart idea.

[Eying you super warily.]

[sneezeslikeakitten]

Yikes, I'm almost afraid to ask.

[Bear movie-- OH. He nods.]

You got an Oscar nomination at least! That's pretty cool, if you ask me.

[Sob Links here.]

[never_asked]

Yeah, it's not pretty.

More attention than I get back home.

[kfdlsad;las dear god that's perfect.]

[sneezeslikeakitten]

[lskdls. Dipper looks up at him and squints.]

Oh? So what does that make you, then?

[Because even if you're not in there, he'll add you to the book.]

[kingofnightmares]

Pitch Black. Better known as the Boogeyman.

'Sup! 8D curiously if you're on about speed, it's actually a little slower than it looks.

[otherfathering]

[Everything's okay. He's honestly not going to hurt you. His wife isn't here for that.]

The world's pre~tty big, Dipper. But there's always home to come back to if you don't wanna travel.

[No Other Father, that's probably not what he meant.]

its a little of that and that I have a game opening up soon and i wanna make sure i have the time

[sneezeslikeakitten]

[You still kind of give him the heebiejeebies but okay. He will just keep a safe distance from you and make sure you don't try to eat him or something.]

Right. That actually wasn't what I mean, but I'll keep that in mind.

[sneezeslikeakitten]

What is it with us supernatural types getting the worst flack from these muns?

[sneezeslikeakitten]

So you're ...a ghost frog, but also sort of a person?

[Pulls out his book and tugs his pen out from under his hat.]

Tell me what that's like.

[cr0aked]

[sneezeslikeakitten]

The Boogeyman.

[Skeptical raise of an eyebrow.]

As in The Boogeyman?

[never_asked]

I wish I knew. My mun's been making stupid Ghostbusters jokes.

That makes sense! I'm personally trying to recruit MK/SC kids. There's Mabel and Raz on reserve! 8D

[otherfathering]

[He's not the one that'll eat you, Dipper. He just loves you like his own child.]

Gre~at!

Are'ya lookin' forward to going somewhere?

[He's just looking at you, smiling and waiting for an answer. Well, he might be looking at you, but the buttons don't really look, more than stare...]

[kingofnightmares]

[Pitch's lip twitches ever so slightly, but he nods.]

Yes. The Boogeyman.
