Younger Kevin's hanging out with THE WRONG CROWD...

[buffing]

Seriously, quit trying to screw me up! I was bad enough as a kid without people encouraging me to be a jerk!

[So this is Older Kevin. Hm, he's different than the Kevin he knows.]

Muns like to make our lives more complicated than what we're comfortable with.

[buffing]

So I heard. So what's your stake in all this, Pitch? 'Sides maybe being able to get at Rex with that little brother he made while he was evil.

[kingofnightmares]

Why would I want to get at Rex in the first place?

[buffing]

Right, you're already done with him. Guess you just want another kid to manipulate, huh?

[kingofnightmares]

Says you.

I only wish to see your-- his potential.

[buffing]

I got the potential to be a pretty nasty piece of work. Seriously don't recommend you go trying to provoke it out.

[kingofnightmares]

Who says I wish to provoke it? Please, you judge me too soon.

[buffing]

Look at me, Pitch. The way I am now? The person that kid grew up to be? It took a lot of work. I'm not gonna let you come in here and ruin that.

[kingofnightmares]

[He lifts his hands.]

You judge me too soon, Kevin.

[buffing]

Because trying to conquer Nautilus by brainwashing one of its guardians ain't a good point of reference?

[selfmadeprincess]

People just like you better as a jerk, I suppose. It's why you're regressing in that "Omni"-incarnation of your canon.

[buffing]

I don't like me better as a jerk. Stuff's hard.

[selfmadeprincess]

Oh, so you're only not a jerk so that things can come easy? Well played!

[buffing]

Not like that. Being nice is what's hard. Everyone's out there expecting you to be a creep, sometimes it's easier to just give 'em what they want.

[adarkfallenstar]

Funny, I was unaware you were no longer a jerk.

[buffing]

Go rust in a junkyard, Darkstar. I'm gonna be if you keep dragging my younger self around like that.

[adarkfallenstar]

[Derp]

Wait.

Wait.

That's your younger self.

Wow.

Wow.


If I was able to take knowledge away from this place, I would have a field day.

He's so adorable and impressionable.

What happened?

[buffing]

Puberty. Prison. Gwen.

[He smirks]

You wouldn't understand.

[adarkfallenstar]

[Time to get his creep on.]

Well, I can definitely see the influence of the third.

You been grabbing a little midnight snack off of her when she wasn't looking?

[buffing]

No. Y'know why? Because I got a little thing called self control. Kinda like how you've got a little thing called being an energy-sucking, dead-faced vampire creep!

[adarkfallenstar]

We both are what we are and we can't change that.

At least I accept and embrace what I am.

You're stuck in denial.

[onefinalessence]

You should choose better company, then. Surely your Mun doesn't control you that much? [Oh her naiveté is so cute.]

sorry for late ;;

[buffing]

I wish. It's nice when she lets me have a little control, but it doesn't do me much good if she's got me at a point when I don't know any better.

'Sides, in the end, she's the one with the keyboard and I just gotta play along.

[warp_ring_tech]

Not everyone's goals are so petty, my boy.

[buffing]

Stuff it, Finitevus. I got no clue what you're planning and I still don't like it.

[warp_ring_tech]

What I'm planning? All I seek to do is help you, my boy. Why would I plan anything different?

[buffing]

You're planning something. You scheming types always are. I may be too dumb to see it as a brat, but I've got a heck of a lot of experience with shady guys making shady deals.

[warp_ring_tech]

Well then, perhaps we will see if you still feel this way after I bestow you with the gift I have in mind.

[buffing]

Not. Interested.

[warp_ring_tech]

How can you say you are not interested when you do not even know what it is yet?

[buffing]

Because I know what my mun's like, and she's all for it.

[warp_ring_tech]

I see no reason why you would not wish to ascend to the level of a god.

[buffing]

I dealt with a couple guys lookin' for godlike power before. It never ends well for them. I figure that's probably a goood idea to steer clear of that kind of crap.

[warp_ring_tech]

Your attitude may change once you gain the power I have in store for you.

[garnetmenace]

[tilts her head on the sides.]

You are taller.

[Me listening to what you said? Pff!]

[buffing]

[Aaaand yes, this is exactly what he needed. Kevin glances away.]

Yeah. It happens.

[garnetmenace]

Wiser too.[Since, you know, you are not provoking her somehow.]

I think I like you better than your younger self.

[buffing]

[Wow, that was... completely unexpected. He raises an eyebrow, looking surprised.]

Yeah? Thanks. Wasn't expecting that from you.

Sad to say, mun thinks it'd be more "interesting" if I had some role models teaching me to be an even bigger jerk than the kid you already know.

[garnetmenace]

I didn't like the younger you because he was defying me. You seem intelligent enough to not do that. It means I tolerate you now.

[Eryun snorts.]

Do you want me to get rid of that mun for you? Or maybe hit your little you on the head to make him stop behaving like an idiot? Throw him in prison again?

[buffing]

You can dry, but I don't think she's going anywhere.

[garnetmenace]

Well, hitting the younger you on the head it is. [Smirks] I will try to not hit too hard. Just don't be surprised if you have a headache tonight.

[buffing]

...Thanks.

[garnetmenace]

You are welcome.
