OMETOTCHTLI BUNNIES

[ Suddenly, everyone but the select group you're with disappears from the room. Whoosh. So it looks like you all have to collaborate! And EDEN's effeminate voice sounds a little distressed, chiming in through the TV screen as a question pops up. ]

Some poor people had to turn to the Internet for help! It's awful! You have some good advice, right? Let's help 'em! Just type a reply on the keyboard there.

[ There is also a keyboard on the floor in front of the TV. What? What is technology? ]

Why are some people so ugly?

...

What kind of question is that?

...Rude. Possibly rhetorical. Or both.

How are we supposed to come up with an answer for a rhetorical question?

As creatively as possible, I suppose.

The easiest answer might be 'they were born that way', although...it's not much of an answer either.

So the point isn't to actually help but just give an answer that sounds good?

...Well. That is the stated objective, true. Although with this particular question, I'm not sure how much help we can give.

Another answer could talk about lack of proper hygiene? Or misguided dress sense.

...I dunno, if we're not supposed to be helping, I kinda feel like giving an equally rude answer back.

If it just said 'why are some people ugly' it wouldn't have bugged me, but it had to go and emphasize it.

I'm not sure what the Echo really intends, never having met them before. Though they sound earnest enough about us actually providing a useful answer.

What answer would you like to give, if we weren't going to be helpful?

[He thinks about it for a couple minutes.] If we're trying to be useful, I guess...talk about the dress sense and hygiene stuff you mentioned, but beauty's in the eye of the beholder anyway, so nobody's really ugly, as long as they're fine with the way they look.

If we're not, something like 'So you'll make everybody else look better by comparison'.

[he actually smiles a little at the rude one]

I think we should test the waters with a sincere answer first, especially with your additions. I agree that mentioning those facts would be helpful as well.

Okay. Let's see.

'People can be seen as ugly due to how they dress or their hygiene. The best way to deal with those is to clean yourself every day and wear simple or fashionable clothes that are in good condition. But it's important to remember that beauty is subjective, so as long as you're okay with how you look, there's really no such thing as being ugly, or even, so ugly.'

[He clears his throat.]

How's that?

It sounds good to me.

Alright. I'll put it in.

Is tea just gay coffee?

STATUS EFFECTS FOR THIS ROUND: Choose one:
- Snuggly
- Can't stop burping
- Hallucinating butterflies in the room

[...]

...what th - e hell are all these butterflies doing here?!

[Suddenly swatting at nothing.]

...Butterflies? I don't see any--

[...burping]

...Excuse me. But I have no idea what you're ta-

[NO THERE IT GOES AGAIN now he's just frowning and closing his mouth]

[He just keeps waving at nothing, trying to get the butterflies out of his face. It doesn't really work.]

...I think the Echo is doing something to us.

[LOUSY HIPPY.]

[sighing...and then burping again]

Of course.

Okay - hrgh.

[He rips his scarf off and ties it around his eyes. There. No more butterflies.

....except he can still hear and feel them flapping around him, god dammit.]

We should come up with an answer for this as quickly as possible.

'No. Tea is not--

[ARGH]

'Tea is not a 'gay coffee'. Tea is made from--

[ECHO HE IS GONNA HURT YOU, rushing through the next sentence]

'Made from steeping tea leaves in water, coffee is made through running water through ground coffee beans, there is no way for a beverage to have sexual preferences.'

[THERE also kinda slightly rude?]

Works for me.

[Walks towards the computer. Slams his knee on the corner of something and yells.]

Ghrkrgrkrrfkrh- [He rips the scarf off of his eyes and goes to type it in.]

'No. Tea is not 'gay coffee'. Tea is made from steeping tea leaves in water, coffee is made through running water through ground coffee beans, there is no way for a beverage to have sexual preferences.'

Why does my buttcheek hurt so much?

STATUS EFFECTS FOR THIS ROUND: Choose one:
- Dizzy, nauseated
- Everything is rainbows
- Sleepy/need a nap

[Okay can the butterflies be gone n -

Nope. Now they're making rainbows wherever they go.

This is sub-optimal.]

....

I honestly can't make out the screen anymore, what does it say?

[suddenly his eyes are drooping, and he shakes his head as if to try and wake up]

It says...

'Why does my buttcheek-

[so he just yawnburped, that is a thing that just happened]

....hurt so much?'

...Perhaps they....fell?

...

[Okay, how did we manage to get more absurd than 'gay coffee'.]

'Because the other one said something rude to it'.

Either that or something about how pain nerves work, but I really don't wanna type that up in relation to someone's butt.

[Just kinda trying to keep his eyes closed to avoid sensory overload.]

Edited 2015-01-29 03:48 (UTC)

[Because EDEN and Yahoo Answers]

[rrrrubbing at his face tiredly, and looking somewhat longingly at the rest of the pillows, a nap would be really nice]

....No. No, I--

[clenching his teeth a little against EITHER a burp or a yawn]

That works for me. I'll type it in.

[anything to get them out of this situation more quickly :|]

'Because the other one said something rude to it'.

How come the stars don't fall down?

STATUS EFFECTS FOR THIS ROUND: Choose one:
- Weird "buzzing" sound in your head
- Having trouble moving body
- Eyes are watery

[And now he has to rip his scarf off again and use it to rub at his eyes.

Watery, stinging, rainbow butterfly vision. He's basically effectively blind at this point and looks an appropriate amount of irritated for that.]

I definitely can't see anything now. What's it say?

[distracted AND sleepy!]

...What? Sorry, I...

[YAWN]

Do you hear that?

Hearing is the only thing I can do at this point.

...what am I supposed to be hearing?

...Buzzing.

[shakes his head again, half to try and stay awake and half to make it stop?]

....Right. The question. It's...

[wait for a burp plz]

'How come the stars don't fall down?'

...Because of gravity...

[THIS IS SO DUMB]

...

They don't fall down because - dammit.

[He rubs his eyes some more and blinks a few times to try and clear them up. Okay, screw this. One of them can't see and the other is barely still conscious. He can't even pretend to waste time explaining the actual answer anymore when this situation has become so absurd.]

Because the astronauts go up and apply a new coat of super glue to keep them in place every year!

[He sounds a little ornery.]

Edited 2015-01-29 04:23 (UTC)

[a really, really tired snort]

See? Creative answers.

Or...simply. 'Gravity'. I'm--

[oh goddamn it another burp]

Inclined towards yours. Though.

Okay. Just, uh.

[Neither of us are really in any position to type something, but him even less so.]

...can you. Point me at the computer so I can try and put it in?

[This one might have a couple typos.]

'Because the astriauts go uo ad apply s new coat of super lue every yr. Or ecause of ravity.'

[You try and type one handed when you can't see and tell me how pretty it comes out.]

Someone got high today.
