In a sense, it's surprising that this sort of thing doesn't happen more often. Isn't that so?

The whole place being infested, I mean, with some kind of nightmare creature untouchable by normal means and whatnot. Think about it. All these dozens of people here, some of them have dreadful powers, I'm surprised more of them aren't... bursting the seams.

Too bad we can't turn these monsters against our enemies as easily as they got turned on us, eh?

[scornful]

I don't see why we can't turn them on our enemies. I think it'd do the war effort far more good if we just air-dropped all the dreadful people onto the UE.

Just seems like a better allocation of resources.

[phaseshifts]

[A SNICKER.]

Two birds with one stone there, eh? Good thinking.

[scornful]

Oh, yes. Two birds with one stone is the motto I live by. I'm all for efficiency.

By the way, how have the nightmare creatures been treating you?

[phaseshifts]

A whisper here and there, but who can't throw off a whisper, hm?

[He knows what a monster he is... and they have the right of it.]

And you, catsoup?

[scornful]

[ Catsovi frowns! But when he speaks, he just sounds amused. ]

I don't believe that's my name. Maybe you'd like to try again?

[phaseshifts]

Catsup, is that better?

[scornful]

Heavens help me. I'm surrounded by deaf and illiterate fools. Do they have schools around here?

[phaseshifts]

Around here? I doubt it. Have you looked at this city?

[scornful]

Oh, I see. No education in wartime.

Did they not have schools where you came from?

[phaseshifts]

[Literally a giggle... help]

Now, now. Don't get tetchy about it.

[scornful]

I can't help it. I'm a philanthropist and the appalling state of education in all countries and all worlds is a personal affront to me. I'm a very angry philanthropist.

[ He doesn't sound angry at all!! ]

[SNICKER...]

Wow, Catsoup.

That's some awful mean namecallin'.

[AND HILARIOUS HE WISHES HE'D THOUGHT OF IT.]

[phaseshifts]

[Tyki actually legit giggles, he thinks he so fanni ha ha ha ha ha]

I thought it was cute! But it seems he doesn't like it.

[onehundredswords]

Ah, nah - Cat's a little sensitive. I don't think the guy can take a joke.

[phaseshifts]

Poor fellow! A sense of humor is a sad thing to lack.

[onehundredswords]

Especially in a place like this.

Good sense a' humor'll see ya' through the horrors of war, after all.

[phaseshifts]

It's tragic really... perhaps he was deprived of levity while young.

[tbh it is a wonder that tyki knows a word like "levity."]

[scornful]

[ A tic. A A scowl. Several deep breaths before Catsovi recomposes himself and turns his end of the feed on to answer. ]

Oh, it is. I might just have to go cry to my mother about it.

[onehundredswords]

Ah - I hate to tell ya' this, but she probably ain't here.

You got any friend's you can cry onto instead?

[scornful]

Oh, several. I could flay their skin and stitch their faces together and make quite the handkerchief for myself if I had to.

But I'll try to hold back the tears.

[phaseshifts]

What a disturbing thing to say...

[onehundredswords]

Right? At first I figured he was just a sensitive guy, but now I'm startin' to think he's just a real scary kind of guy...

[HA HA.]

[scornful]

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be. It appears that here, my sense of humor clashes with most everyone else's.

[onehundredswords]

Well.

Someone's a little more messed up than I'd a thought, Cat. I don't know if I feel all too comfortable with this friendship, anymore.

[scornful]

[ Catsovi sighs, in such a way that it's practically an audible eyeroll. But there's a cheerful note in his voice when he answers. ]

Please, you didn't take that seriously.

Isn't it obvious that I'd only do that sort of thing to my enemies?
