It's great to have all of this attention. Really, don't get me wrong. I like it and I probably deserve it, but there's the bad kind of attention, too.

So let's put down the frying pan and just have a civilized talk. That's not too hard, right?

Attention from a mun can either be really bad...or really good.

...Or just really, really...bad.

..So let me guess, you're somewhere in the middle?

[notjustaposterboy]

So it's like this scale. And it can tip in either direction. And some days, everything is peaceful and quiet, and then other days, you just say the wrong thing.

You could say I often say the wrong thing.

[trainsurdragons]

..Well that makes sense. ..I guess.

[He doesn't suppose that means you're here solely due to your charm, right?]

Even if I say the wrong thing, that just makes my mun more determined to put me in absolutely every thread or meme she possibly can.

[But no games of course, that'd be a crime.]

[notjustaposterboy]

I think I'm being viewed more as a kid. You know how it is. Kids misbehave, they get punished. I'm pretty sure that's what's going on.

[Eugene shrugs.]

It could be worse. Sometimes what I say can get me out of trouble.

[trainsurdragons]

Huh. Yeah, that's...true.

[As strange as that is to think about.]

Can't say I'm as smooth of a talker as someone like yourself.

[myownhand]

You don't want t'attention. Trust me.

And why would y'be holdin' a fryin' pan?

[notjustaposterboy]

Well, you see...

There is this girl I know and she likes frying pans. I think. Not really sure on that one. It makes for one good way to defending yourself if you need to.

[myownhand]

I guess that could work. Though a bow and arrow usually do th'trick much better. It's important t'learn how t'defend yourself.

[notjustaposterboy]

Ah, yes. I guess that would also work.

[Eugene spends a lot of his time running...]

I think I'll leave the slinging of arrows to you. Sounds like you know more about it than I do.

[lanternlooking]

Now who has the frying pan? You or you mun?

[notjustaposterboy]

We like to trade. Today I'm on the receiving end. Seems to be a common position for me, whether it's you or anyone else.

[lanternlooking]

Well, you have to admit that they come in handy.

[notjustaposterboy]

I like them more when they're not striking me. Have you ever been hit by one?

[seethelanterns]

...A bad kind of attention?

[notjustaposterboy]

Yes. The kind of attention you don't want. Like, when you're trying to sneak around and you get caught.

[He knows you're guilty of sneaking, Rapunzel.]

[seethelanterns]

O-oh....so, like when Mother first caught me painting on the walls?

[Oh, yeah she thinks she gets the idea.]

[notjustaposterboy]

Something like that. Were you punished for it?

[tonewlengths]

What trouble are you getting into this time?

((I laughed way too hard at that username))

[notjustaposterboy]

Who says I'm getting into trouble? I'm a complete peach.


[Aha! My day's accomplishment!]

[tonewlengths]

Oh, of course you are.

[notjustaposterboy]

Oh, come now. Look at this face. [He motions to his visage.] How could a face like this get into trouble?

[memoryguardian]

Muns can be civil, most of the time!

Color me curious though. What did you do to get yours so worked up?

[notjustaposterboy]

What didn't I do? I'm pretty sure I breathe and somewhere a proverbial volcano erupts. But it's not hard to hate someone with my talents. You learn to take it in stride.

[memoryguardian]

[That gets a small laugh from her.]

And what exactly are your talents?

[notjustaposterboy]

You're looking at the treasure hunter extraordinaire. You know, a life of adventure, saving pretty damsels, getting into dangerous situations, that kind of thing.

[He might a little, teeny, tiny bit proud himself for all of that. Or stretching the truth. There's that, too.]
