I confess; I do not understand. You what they call a 'normie', non? Also, you are a normie who is frequently late to appointments beyond the regulation 'fashionably late', which is a violation of the social rule of punctuality.

It is for those reasons that I do not understand why you are willingly spending time with me. Surely, you would rather be with a muse who will not issue you a formal letter of complaint every time you break a rule, non?

I see. You are, as they say, a most strange one. Bien, I will remain by your side until you no longer have use of me. It will be a unique experience to work with you.

The normies are a bit tough to understand, but they're not all that bad if ya give 'em a chance.

[obeirauxregles]

...Alright. I will, as you say, 'give them a chance'.

[But- But her normie breaks so many rules!]

However, I do not feel comfortable leaving Monster High unattended. If there is nobody to uphold the rules and regulations, I fear it will all descend into chaos.

[wallcrawler]

Uh...what's a normie?

[...says the guy in spandex hanging upside down from a web.]

[obeirauxregles]

[Since he's clearly not anywhere near normal, it can't hurt to tell him the truth.]

It is a 'human'; one who is not a monster like you and me. They are most strange creatures, non?

[wallcrawler]

...see, this is the awkward part where I tell you this is just a costume, and I'm totally human.

[Though the jury's still out on whether or not a man in red and blue tights could be considered "normal" at all.]

[obeirauxregles]

[Not really helping the 'normies aren't weird' movement, Spidey.]

You-! [Hall monitor training hasn't prepared her for this, what's she supposed to do?!] Come no closer! Should you attack me, I will show no mercy!

[wallcrawler]

Quick question, uh...whoever you are: Are you familiar with the concept of superheroes?

Because "attack total strangers for no reason" is pretty high up there on the list of things we're not supposed to do.

[obeirauxregles]

You are a normie and I am a monster; it is in your nature to attack me, non? I cannot blame you. To see such a creature must frighten you so.

[wallcrawler]

Uhhhh...no. I mean, even if I wasn't a superhero.

Besides, you're not even the weirdest looking person I've had to deal with this week. And you're really not even that scary looking.

[Maybe even kinda cute, in a weird...stony, gothic sort of way. If that's a thing.]

[obeirauxregles]

You mean, even though my appearance is unlike your own, you do not fear moi?

[She stares at Spidey for a moment, then, slowly, a smile stretches across her face and her hands cup over her heart.]

Merci. You are very kind. I was afraid that my first day in the roleplaying world would be unpleasant - but now, I know it will be fine.

[wallcrawler]

Not unless you try to kill me. Heck, even then, I've dealt with scarier. Uglier too.

[Venom once made a second mouth in his torso for crying out loud. Weirdest thing he can see about her is the ears and wings. And complexion. Still, nowhere near as weird as giant mouth in your torso because you felt like it.]

Hey, keep worrying so much what people think, and it might be. I can't even tell ya how many times somebody's made fun of my costume. But I like it, so who cares?

[Considering the weirdness of this place, he's not going to assume she's in one till she says otherwise, but he's trying to make a point here.]

[obeirauxregles]

[For a 'monster', Rochelle looks genuinely concerned at the idea of someone trying to kill a costumed hero. The concern is quickly replaced by a fierce scowl, though, and she rests her hands on her hips.]

Non! I will not accept any of that!

[She pauses for emphasis, like a good, dramatic hall monitor should.]

Anyone who mocks your clothing or threatens your life will be issued a detention - acts of violence are strictly against the rules!

[wallcrawler]

...yeeeah, see, I don't think supervillains care about the rules.

Besides, uh...whoever you are, I am plenty capable of handling myself. No need to get hurt on my behalf.

[obeirauxregles]

They do not care for the rules? But how can this be?!

[The entire foundation of her world has been shaken. Soon cats will be marrying dogs and doughnuts will fall from the sky.]

It is no problem, I can handle this by myself. You are, as they say, 'a softie', oui?

[I think she's trying to say that he's fleshy? Who even knows with her.]

Clearly, I am not a 'softie', so I will be the one to protect you. Also, for the record books, I am not 'whoever you are', I am Rochelle Goyle.

[wallcrawler]

Because they're bad guys? Y'know, greedy, self-absorbed, violent, and usually total sociopaths?

[Or psychotic. Like Gobby.]

Softie? What, like- wait, are you insulting me?

[These kids need an interpreter.]

[claws_and_effect]

Rules, shmules. Rules are meant to be broken.

However, if you insist upon always following the rules, as I KNOW you do, you are purrfectly in your right. However, perhaps you can teach your mun to follow them too?

[She yawns.]

But I still say rules are boring.
