Overheard:
"Of COURSE he's a bad person! His name is KILLian!"
"So? Your name is Charity, and I can't remember the last time you paid for ANYTHING."

Pour one out for this couple, folks. And Nominative Determinism.

Like, what do you MEAN you actually enjoyed my hour long ramble on my personal feelings on the philanthropist history of a certain organisation on a planet you've never heard of? You have no context! ... Oh right I DID give you context when you asked. But also: What?

Oh I am unrepentantly strange. I just get confused when people like... Seem to like that? I've convinced myself quite thoroughly that I have a very bad personality, and that being Me imposes on others, and I just Do It Anyway, but people keep... Enjoying that? Which is wild.

Don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise: Having a bag of holding and a hoarding problem is AMAZING for prop comedy.

Inspired by the fact that, under the appropriate circumstances, I, too, can be reduced to whimpering tears from laughter at being shown a brick.

New game:

Do They Like Absurdist and Surreal Comedy Too much, or Are They a Ghothex?

"As you might imagine, senses of humor vary greatly across sapient species."

"For instance, some species don't HAVE a sense of humor. Then, there are the Ghothex; you can reduce a whole room of them to whimpering tears just by showing them a *brick.* An ordinary brick. Don't ask me why."

Me when people treat me with kindness even though I've been incredibly obnoxious and cryptid-adjacent.

I do admit, as much as I like pressing buttons, I'm still going to prefer communicating with you.

I wonder if he ever tries to tempt people in to evil... That's always fun, honestly. With someone like me, with Strange Morals, people try that like, a lot? A LOT lot, even?

Chital, star-deer.

Ah yeah, probably best I not push it. I'll flee real fast and all after the first trick. I'm pretty vulnerable to disintegration, as I don't think my armour really has a defense against that.

Hey. Hey. What the fuck. Hey. How dare. Hey.

My past forged an armor I cannot take off no matter how many times you tell me the war is over.

I wonder what other pranks I can play... Like if he runs into me a second time, what are the odds he'd fall for an "Oh, hey, I didn't realise it'd do that. Sorry. Here's another thing." But that one is also pranked - just in a different way... Hmmm...

And well, I won't be mentioning what those are! But one of them is something I have only encountered in one single world, and the other is *very* impractical. Okay, three things, but that's less localised and covers an *entire timeline*, and if he had that power he'd not be asking ME for it!

Oh believe me, getting away is the *easiest* thing for me to do. I won't go into details - hard for an enemy to figure out how to stop me if they don't know the mechanics - but my ability to timeline hop is like, built into my very essence. I've only found two things capable of stopping it...

Listen, I'm just saying! The 39th Century knows how to do party favours!

On a scale of 1-10 how much trouble would I be if I gave him something that will backfire in a comedic way?

Like, Oh yeah, here, you can tooootally have one of my super magic guns. WHOOPS IT'S ACTUALLY FAKE AND BLOWS UP INTO A RAIN OF CANDY!

Also yes I have that sort of thing.

I can't do personal art at the moment anyway, so it works out better, since I need to take advantage of what 'healthy' days I have to finish the comm I'm having a lot of fun with. But I just needed to have a giggle about this chaos gremlin.))

Not because she doesn't have a lot of angst, but because she never gives herself time to dwell on it very long. The closest I could get with her is like. A dramatically lit composition of that rare 10 mins she gives herself. Which just looks more aloof than angsty.

right back up and goes on to something else.

Like I'm listening to music that kinda makes me want to do some symbolic angsty art, and she and tentatively Ruby are all the brain I have to think on... But Clive just doesn't lend herself to it.++

((One funny thing about Clive is that, like, even though she has such a dark, upsetting backstory, she doesn't lend herself to any current timeline art with an angsty vibe. Like, she can be angsty as a person sometimes, but she gives herself 10 mins here and there, maybe a thread, then picks herself
