Highly unimpressed with you, Miss Mundane.

[awfulsentimetal]

Would you look at that, you spent that money you shouldn't have and went and made a typo--

[Did I?]

... Oh goshdarnit it's a pun.

Comments

[mybackstory]

What did you expect with them?

[awfulsentimetal]

A better pun.

[mybackstory]

Really?

[I am not sorry for my part in this, at all.]

[awfulsentimetal]

... On second thought, maybe I oughta lower my expectations a few notches. This is the same woman that came up with alloyinme, after all.

[Ufufufu.]

[mybackstory]

You'd be better off lowerin' them a whole lot. Didn't help mine is a small part responsible.

[awfulsentimetal]

Should've expected that, really, considerin' the name yours stuck you with.

[mybackstory]

Mine's stuck me with a whole lot of things.

[Is that a pointed look? Might be.]

[awfulsentimetal]

[Have a pointed look right back, The Spine.]

Are you complainin'? 'Cause I can think of a lot worse places to be.

[mybackstory]

Why would I complain? Been in more than one rodeo by now. [... Seriously, you're wording it like that Spine?]

You wanna think of worse places?

[awfulsentimetal]

[Are you seriously wording it like that Spine. Have the MOST unimpressed look.]

Not particularly. I'm already in worse places as it is.

[Animus he is looking at you.]

[mybackstory]

[Have a look that more or less says 'It is either that or being blunt, deal with it.']

Always gets worse.

[awfulsentimetal]

At least there I haven't had to dodge any fallin' cars.

[Yeah, no, he's okay with not being blunt thanks.]

[mybackstory]

Are you complainin'?

[awfulsentimetal]

Nope. Just statin' a fact.

[mybackstory]

You get to enjoy a fallin' boat later.

[Stop eavesdropping.]

[awfulsentimetal]

A fallin' what.

[...this one is kept out of the loop.]

[mybackstory]

Boat.

[There is no loop, there is a giant pile.]

[awfulsentimetal]

I don't even wanna know, do I.

[A pile that he wouldn't want to dive into even if he knew it existed. N O P E.]

[mybackstory]

Enjoy meetin' lady us.

[THAT IS ALL HE WILL SAY OKAY.]

[ophiovacca]

[A horned girl nearby is giggling at you, the Spine.

And making no effort to hide that fact.]

[awfulsentimetal]

[Have a somewhat strained smile directed your way, Miss Troll.]

...Well, at least someone's gettin' a laugh out of this. Can I help you, Miss?

Sorry for my lateness, my internet's been on the fritz.

[ophiovacca]

O-- oh, um, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude, but... well. My mun is quite a fan of yours, so we're all well-aware of how you feel about puns here in her headspace.

No worries, I was late too xD

[awfulsentimetal]

A fan...? Well, uh, that's mighty flatterin'. [He thinks. If he ignores the fact that his mundane calls herself a fan too.] I'm guessing I don't need to introduce myself, but if you don't mind I'd like to know who I'm addressin'.

IT'S COOL IT'S COOL

[ophiovacca]

Regina.

[She gives him a small curtsy.]

It's a pleasure to meet you~

<3

[awfulsentimetal]

[Have a stiff at-the-waist bow in return, as well as a tip of that signature fedora.]

Nice to meet you too, Miss Regina. My mundane tells me you're... homestuck? I don't quite understand, why're you stuck at home?

[No, Spine, she's a Homestuck OC. Not... you know what, nevermind.]

ah he's such a cute <3

[ophiovacca]

[She laughs again, but tries to smother it under her hand.]

I'm based on a story called Homestuck. I'm a troll.

Regina's pretty cute too <3

[awfulsentimetal]

[His head tilts ever-so-slightly to the left with a click. A... troll?]

...You're... one of those people that intentionally pick fights on the internet?

[There goes that meaning sailing right over The Spine's head.]

Awww, thank you! (I'm very grateful to those who've rendered her so nicely for her icons a-ahaha)

[ophiovacca]

N... no. That's my species, honey.

[awfulsentimetal]

Beggin' your pardon, Miss, but you don't look a thing like any troll I've ever seen.

[They're usually... ugly.]

[ophiovacca]

I get that a lot~

[An almost arrogant smirk.]

The trolls in human fairytales are... strange. Not that there aren't some, um... less than fortunate-looking trolls where I'm from.

[awfulsentimetal]

Huh. Guess it boils down to stories just bein' stories.

[Except, of course, for the REAL stories.]

Where are you from, if you don't mind me askin'?

[ophiovacca]

Alternia~

[A dead planet. Then again, so is Earth, where she's from.]

[awfulsentimetal]

[The Spine scratches his head. Or, well, he makes the gesture over the crown of his fedora. He's never quite gotten the hang of that one.]

... Can't say I've heard of it, Miss.

[ophiovacca]

[Regina smiles a little at that. How cute.]

It's... well, it doesn't exist anymore. But it was in another universe from yours entirely.
