Dear You:

How much me is too much? Why can't you ever torture someone else for a change? I'm tired of being your...

Your butt monkey.

And I know this is how you show love, or so you claim, but enough is enough.

Good for you, Joe. You put your foot down!

[gibken]

I don't think it's going to work...

She's... so very insistent.

[cookscleanskicksass]

That doesn't seem fair! You should have a say in how much you get tortured and ordered around.

Well, unless you *like* it, of course?

Seriously Joe use more HTML I dare you.

[gibken]

Why would I like it?

...

Why would you even put that idea into her head?

Hakase, damn it.

HE NEEDS ALL THE HTML

[cookscleanskicksass]

[hiding a grin]

I thought you quite liked elements of what she does, I'm sorry, Joe.

It's his only means of emotional conveyance.

[gibken]

You are not sorry. You're smiling! You... You think this is funny!

hey, I get beat up and groped all the damn time, we could swap?

[cookscleanskicksass]

Well......

[gibken]

Well nothing, Hakase, it's not funny.

...And when do you ever get groped?

[yellows]

...butt monkey, Joe? You?

[cookscleanskicksass]

It doesn't seem right, Luka!

[yellows]

That's what I thought. You're more of a butt monkey than he is.

[cookscleanskicksass]

Yes, exactly!

...hey!

[yellows]

...what?

[cookscleanskicksass]

Butt monkey? Really?!

[yellows]

Why not? You look like one.

[cookscleanskicksass]

[aggrieved whimper]

What? Do you want me to do my hair all fancy again like you had it?!

[yellows]

I'd be surprised if you can do half as good a job as I did.

[cookscleanskicksass]

Hairdressing isn't one of my skills!

But at least I separate my darks from my whites, Luuuuka!

[yellows]

What are you trying to say, Hakase?

[cookscleanskicksass]

[aware I'm treading on suddenly shaky ground]

Um...

[yellows]

[ I might be cracking my knuckles now ]

[cookscleanskicksass]

[hocrap]

[backing towards the door]

I will turn this space boat around I swear.

[gibken]

...Stop it, you two.

[yellows]

Hmph. Tell him to watch what he's saying, then.

[gibken]

I am not his keeper.

[yellows]

Then you just have to bear it.

[gibken]

Seems unlikely, I know. But there it is.

[yellows]

Do you think I should at least feel sorry for you?

[gibken]

...You could try, but I don't think the effort-to-payout ratio is good enough.

[yellows]

It's not?

[gibken]

Well, I wasn't planning on paying you to feel sorry for me. So, uh. No. Probably not.

How hard your life is, Luka.

[yellows]

And here I was, about to offer my sympathies for free.

[gibken]

Aww. I'm proud of you.

[joe_gibken]

You can't do much to control the will of these muns, unfortunately.

[gibken]

Unfortunately...

Hey!

You...

You're me!

...Did I... Did I get split into two people?

...Again?

[joe_gibken]

Around here, you could meet three or four of us or more.

[gibken]

...That... Is a frightening thought.

And yet, oddly comforting at the same time.
