Lonely down under in vatheon

[redboots]

Uh, yeah, that little subject line up there? As if. You should know I'm doing perfectly fine. This isn't the first time I've been on my own, you know. I'll be fine. Hey, maybe better, Simon fusses too much and it'll give the old guy a heart attack.

[Yeah you know the mun doesn't believe that, Marceline.]

Well, whatever. It's not even as if I'm completely alone, either. There's Leo to chat with, and Italy, and Gumball is always available for messing with.

[So you don't want any of your friends there?]

Hey, if Finn and Jake or Bubblegum or anyone else popped up, I'd be down with it. But let's be real- how likely is that to really happen?

[langsyne]

....Someone really named their kid after a country?

( the hell, man? )

[redboots]

Looks like.

I'm surprised you didn't ask about the Gum twins.

[Okay they are not really twins but they are alternate versions of one another and that is pretty much the same thing]

[langsyne]

( the better question is: )

Do I want to ask about the Gum twins?

[redboots]

Does this mean I'm your conscience now?

[langsyne]

( a shrug! )

Only if you want. Not gonna lie to you though, pay's crap. You might have to live off ramen the rest of your life.

[redboots]

I don't eat ramen. Try 'anything red you ever own' instead.

[langsyne]

"Anything red." ( uh. ) Because it's your favorite color or something? Or you had too much grape-flavored cough syrup as a kid?

[goodnightsweetprince]

[ He completely resents that comment. However, he will be the bigger sentient candy being and ignore your rude and distasteful jab at him.

One.

Two.

Three.

Let the Ignoring of the Unkind Words Ceremony come to a close. ]

As it turns out, my schedule for messing is completely booked. I only have openings in Polite Conversation, Teatime and Tarts or Triangledancing.

[redboots]

Defiiiine the requirements for polite conversation.

[Her definition is different than yours.]

[goodnightsweetprince]

[ wtf he has to explain this to you, Marceline? Are you like, way old? This should be second nature. ]

The key is in this simple pneumonic device! RECOGNIZE. Respect, Etiquitte, Considerate, Observant, Gentle, Nice, Intelligent...Zippity-Eh!

It's so simple, I bet even you could get it down.

[redboots]

Well I am pretty considerate and unbelievably nice, and intelligent... But the rest of that all sounds boooooring!

[goodnightsweetprince]

[ Well all of that is debatable but if you CAN'T SAY NUTHIN' NICE...

Man, he even used bold font and everything for that OPPOSITE OF BORING acronym. ]

Then enlighten me with your definition of polite, non-boring conversation.

[redboots]

Lemme see...

[Where to start, where to start!]

Howling with wolves. Making agreements on someone to be my slave. Fart jokes.

Normal stuff.

[allstretchedout]

[Well speak of the devil]

Iunno, I think I might be down for some ocean action.

Good luck gettin' Finn underwater, though.

[redboots]

Jake, wassup!

[She was just talking about you smooshing people with your big stinky feet in her game, what a coincidence]

Hey, there's an island part too if he gets seasick. Buuut it's down in the underwater bubble party where all the cool stuff happens. Like me, for one thing, along with some stuff that miiight occasionally need a hero or something.

[ruby_roses]

[Have a veritable all-you-can-eat buffet of red.]

Personally, I prefer to be alone. Less people to worry about getting in the way.

[redboots]

[Don't eat her, Marcy. Don't. Calm down.]

Uh- yeah, sure are pains in the butt. Getting... all the way under your feet. S'why I float.

[So... distracting...]

[ruby_roses]

Especially when there's a pack of Beowolves bearing down on ya. Someone gets in the way and... [She makes a choking noise as she drags her thumb across her neck. You would've liked that fight, Marcy. Rose petals EVERYWHERE.]

[Wait. Hold up. Float?]

...Huh, yeah you are floating aren't you? How're you doing that?

[redboots]

I'm a vampire, it's a thing we do.

[That does sound like badassery and red stuff that she can appreciate]

[Also maybe if she just... stops looking at it, she can avoid tackling this chick like she did.. that one time. Not thinking about that either, nope]

[experimentgum]

As cheerful as always, I see.

[redboots]

As stiff as always, Bonnibel.

[But she really is glad to see her. Dealing with Gumball is actually a surprisingly freaky experience! Who knew.]

Besides, I'm just laying down the truth. Feelin' pretty good myself despite what the mun says. I've managed to score tons of adoring fans in Vatheon just like in Ooo, and I even have my own cooking slave.

[Marceline, stop, Italy is a friend]

lmfaohfdsjkfkh italy cooking slave

[experimentgum]

[happy to see her? psh! after all those Gumballs and Bubblegums hanging around in that other entry with you?]

Have you extended your repertoire then? [manager-mode?]

it is a very beneficial master-cooking slave agreement gosh!

[redboots]

[Sssh, no baby, you were her first]

Workin' on it, Bonnibel. [Oh oh she actually maybe likes manager mode, and will never admit it under torture] I'm actually workin' on picking up this friggin' precious wolf girl for the new band I'm starting up.

Already got a big gig and everything~.

[experimentgum]

Wow. Sounds like you really are doing alright. I'm impressed. [don't need a manager then?]

[redboots]

Yep.

[She's a big girl now okay gosh]

[...but]

So, got anywhere you've settled in lately? [Casual, casual!]
