canon is welcome to night vale u3u

[accede]

You're getting really obsessive for someone who's not even sure if my canon is viable to apply from. Not to mention, you have two other scientists you could have played, and you pick me? I guess there's no talking you out of it, but I'm warning you that you shouldn't get your hopes up.

[...Scientific, you say?]

How so?

[goodnightsweetlisteners]

[Scientific! He's so excited omg.]

Its this idyllic bubble under the ocean, filled with zombie-like, friendly inhabitants and controlled by a consortium of scientists who perform hideous experiments on those kidnapped from hundreds of different worlds within the vast multiverse.

[accede]

What?

[Give him a second to process that.]

Did you say that it's controlled by scientists who experiment on people? You can't really think I'd approve of something like that. That goes against so many ethic codes!

[goodnightsweetlisteners]

That's right. For example, just recently the scientists switched the bodies of a number of the people in the city. Many people had the opportunity to find out what it's like to be someone else. Unfortunately, I wasn't chosen by our benevolent overlords for the program.

[accede]

Cecil, that's not a good thing.

[goodnightsweetlisteners]

[There's a long pause]

Well, I guess not. But it sure could be worse.

[accede]

... I'm sure that's true. And I know you're not used to this kind of line of thinking, but... just because something could be worse does not mean it is in any way better.

[goodnightsweetlisteners]

Well, Carlos, you know that I'm always interested to hear your point of view. [It's just that he doesn't really see the big deal?] But, you know, it turned out all right in the end. These curses only last for a week, and don't seem to involve horrific death or permanent dismemberment at all. Like, honestly, it's kinda boring around here sometimes.

[accede]

Uh.

Boring. Really?

[Sure, maybe there was a lack of dismemberment and such, but "curses" that swap bodies? hat doesn't sound boring at all to him. But then again, sometimes he reads some old academic books for fun.]

[goodnightsweetlisteners]

I'm not complaining or anything. There's a lot to do, in its own way, but... [Wistful] I do miss Night Vale sometimes.

[accede]

You are complaining, though. But really, you miss the threats of death or dismemberment?

[Because that says a lot about your state of mind, Cecil...]

[goodnightsweetlisteners]

[Blink, blink, blink] I don't miss those particular things.

I miss other things... you know.

[accede]

... Like Big Rico's pizza?

[goodnightsweetlisteners]

Like you.

[accede]

O-Oh.

[That's. Awfully forward.]

Well. I'm here, right now.
