so you're collecting this worm tithe.

for the worm?

oh
worm?

[ The soft, jingling footsteps of someone approaching from off screen. ]

geez, it's a tough crowd today, huh?

[ Enter; Gog Agog. ]

just do as i do. it's pretty easy! watch.

[ She's shifting her face. Making her face a perfect copy of Susie's face! That girl can't do that, probably. She's intentionally messing with her. ]

or just y'know, the opposite of whatever dumb thing you did. probably a whole hero's journey in that.

You could just be me. Bein' me's awful fun, y'know!

[ There's a worm in her hand. She's weighing the tension for a second. Probably a no, she thinks. ]

baaaha! i'm just messin' with ya!

[ There's a pause. Unless...? No, probably not. Her face straightens. ]

so, here's what you gotta do, uh...

you're a real hoot to watch. not entertaining enough to keep an eye on, but you've got your moments!

i should probably side-add that this char is a walking death tw warning i will literally kill her any chance i'm given i don't care it's funny to turn her into a little red stain

[ . . . Oh! Where'd she come from? ]

oh...

first time changing skins? i can show you how to fix that.

[ She's a planck's length away from just tearing into him. Divine ass being having a crashout. ]

you must be a real hoot at parties, huh? i bet your friends love you.

do you even go to parties? your hair's already gray!

i'd wager an entire planet on you doing something mundane for fun!

ugh!

[ i need to dunk him in boiling MILK ]

what ARE you worried about then, huh???

mister 'stoic'?

[ She's pronouncing stoic wrong. ]

mister aloof and uncaring? oh, you're just /so cool/, huh???

you're boring! you have no joy or whimsy in your soul!

ugh!!!

/nobody/ gives me a fair shot!

[ She's visibly deflating. ]

y'know, you're being a real buzzkill now...

[ Oh... So it wasn't. ]

whoops! my mistake! sorry, sorry, wrong pocket!

dunno how those got in there...

oh, i'm just... y'know.

ugh... /fiiiiiiiine/. i guess i can be nice and do that.
