MU spoiler warning?

[not_scary]

That's nice, kid, but.. an inspiration? Really? Come on, I thought I was the comedian here! I mean, I'm flattered, but I'm not exactly role model material.. My success has about 50% luck, and 50% Sulley. ..Ok, maybe 25% Sulley, but the point's still there! 

Go on, get outta here. That homework isn't gonna do itself!

...? What are you?

[not_scary]

Yeek!

[He tries to calm himself down, but it's still hard to get over a lifelong fear of humans. At least he knows she's not fatally toxic! hopefully]

I mean, uh... Oh, y'know.. Just a regular old monster..

[ineuphony]

A monster? Wow, that's pretty cool! I've never meant one before.

[not_scary]

Yeah, well, you're not supposed to. Monsters aren't allowed to talk to humans. Ever.

Buttt I hear this place is kind of a neutral zone, so we're fine! I hope..

[ineuphony]

We should be. I haven't witnessed anything terrible when it comes to this place.

[hyperkinetic]

Gotta hand it to ya for perfect career choice. Ya probably only have to walk on stage before the audience cracks every last one of their ribs!

u avin a giggl ther m8

[not_scary]

Hahaha. Keep it up bunny-boy, and you'll be the one with the broken bones.

[Homework?! Come on Mike :|]

But it's summer...I-I thought humans didn't have homework over summer...

[not_scary]

They do if they have summer school! [shivers] I actually liked school! But I really, really don't miss the homework part of it.

[not_a_bunny]

s-summer school?

[Now he's just going to give you a rather disbelieving look.]

How can anyone like school?! I-I-It's long, a-and boring and...you hated the homework too?

[Good! he can hate it as well!]

[not_scary]

"If the tests don't kill you, the heat will!"

[And that earns an equally disbelieving look back.]

Well, not all schools are awful. The right school can be like.. like a dream. When you're learning material you're passionate about, and spending time with some really incredible monsters, the work part of it doesn't seem so bad!

But of course I hated homework! Nobody likes homework!

[not_a_bunny]

_{or the Snorch will}

[Ickis folds his arms and frowns a little.]

You sound like a friend of mine...besides! You're scary looking! It's gotta be easy for you...I-I mean humans'll run from a one-eyed monster no problem.

[not_scary]

The Snorch? Yeesh, I don't like the sound of that..

[Oh man, you don't know how much of a compliment that is, Ickis. But he knows it's not totally true.]

Pfft! I appreciate the compliment kiddo, but I'm no Scarer. I know plenty of fellas who can curdle milk just by lookin' at it. Me? I'm just funny looking.

[not_a_bunny]

Ahahaha, y-you don't really wanna meet him...

[Mike is a giant eyeball! That is awesome to bunny boy here!]

Wow! Really?! My friend can do that but, not with his looks...not a Scarer, but you said you went to Monster School.

What do you do?

[not_scary]

Probably not. What is he?

I work over at Monsters Inc.! We used to be all about converting children's screams into energy, but things have changed since we found out their laughter was ten times stronger. Who would'a guessed?

It's bad news for monsters who grew up learning to be scary, but great news for little guys like me. 'Guess you could say I'm a comedian? We don't have a snappy name for it like "Scarer", but I'm sure we'll think of something!

[not_a_bunny]

Well, uh, when we get in trouble? He's the monster The Gromble sends us to.

[And Ickis is pretty much there all the time.

His ears perk up a little.]

You makes humans...laugh? On purpose?!

[A little squeaky there at the end but this is...no monsters do not make people happy! Even he knows that doesn't listen to it, but he knows.]

Why would you do that!? M-monsters are suppose to be scary, striking fear into the hearts of humans! N-not..not making them laugh!

[He doesn't like being laughed it either, so that migh thave more ot do with his little rant then anything else...]

[not_scary]

Yikes. Sounds like a real ball. [A monster used as punishment? He can just imagine how scary that guy must be.]

Hoo boy. [He rolls his eye. You have no idea how many times he's heard that since he and Sulley brought up the idea]

I know, I know, "tradition" and all. But human kids aren't that bad! We don't NEED to scare them!

[not_a_bunny]

Oh yeah, it's the gruelest.

[Sarcasm, yay.

He tugs his ears down though and shakes his head.]

b-b-b-but, no! If humans aren't scared of us, Monsters'll start to disappear, literally! Laughing doesn't keep the pool filled, scaring humans does! I...I know humans aren't bad persay but, we...we still need to scare them.

[not_scary]

[Woah, what? Mike's eye widens.]

Where'd you hear that from?

[not_a_bunny]

[Eep! Ickis startles.]

T-The Gromble! A-and it happened to...everyone started to just vanish! poof...gone...

[He won't ever forget just being a head either.]

Gromble said it was because so many new humans were being born _{and they had never been scared} so that meant that that that all those new humans didn't fear us!

[Hope you can understand a panicky, whiney monster.]

[not_scary]

Woahwohwoah.. Slow down, kid, I'm just barely keepin' up with ya!

You're saying monsters vanish if people aren't scared of them? That's crazy! Nothing like that has ever happened in the monster world!

[He's pretty sure they'd be making a much bigger deal about scaring if that was the case!]

[not_a_bunny]

Huh? Oh..hehehe, sorry.

[He starts to nod then turns it into a head shake.]

No, no, see! It did happen but it all started at the academy an-an-an everyone stopped it before it could get any worse.

Didn't...didn't your Monster Academy teacher ever mention "The Pool"?

[not_scary]

Nuh-uh, never! What is that?

[This is sounding really weird. What kind of school teaches stuff like that?]

[splurt]

Are you a real monster?

[not_scary]

'Course I am! [He gestures to himself.] One hundred percent nat-u-ral.

[everythingiamisbecauseofu]

[the mutant clone's just gonna stare at you, okay, Mike?]


What are you?
