Chapter 6. 'cause I want to be a paperback writer

[bloody_pens]

You know what sucks? Making books. Jeez. There has GOT to be an easier way to do this, especially if I'm going to be writing longer stories.

But worry not for now. My hard work has finally paid off.

ATTENTION EDENSPHERE!

I am proud to announce the completion of my first masterwork, a story about a friendly banana puppet we all know and love,

You sided with that terrorist!?

[bloody_pens]

Pancake-giving banana puppets are the perfect thing to base a story on! Even if they happen to be indestructible!

[its_me_hooray]

You don't understand how much of a danger he can be, but I suppose I ought to spell it out.

Nannerpus is a danger to our society! Do you have any idea what they do when you do not let them finish their song, being the unknowing, innocent character in this story? They sing louder... and louder... AND LOUDER! If many people like myself were to unknowingly encounter said yellow menaces and decided we were too hungry for him to finish singing his ditty, he would only reach an awe-inspiring - yet awful - cacophany of various voices screaming and serenading their horrible tune to damage the delicate, sensitive hearing! What kind of good person screams at you for simply being hungry!?

And another thing, those eyes! They easily come off, and could fall into... places. Do you have any idea where those eyes could be, always watching you, probably while you relax and use the bathroom after a vigorous jog at 11 AM every morning!? They are not only content with screaming in your poor ears, no, they very well may be the best units of

... Man.

You are overthinking this WAY too much, my friend.

OK, perhaps my NEXT book should be about the dangers of accepting food from singing banana puppets with googly eyes, how's that? Working title "Maple Syrup of DOOM".

... hey, I rather like that.

[spandexisyouth]

But what if we do not love it?

[bloody_pens]

Hmm. That's your prerogative, I suppose. At least nobody's paying for it!

[spandexisyouth]

That is true! It is a very strange thing. But so are many things here.

[bloody_pens]

This place is the very definition of strange!

[burntorangesky]

[A few pen taps, followed by a pause.]

An easier way?

[bloody_pens]

Yeah. Right now I have to hand-write and put together each copy myself, which isn't going to cut it for longer things.

aka, she doesn't yet know if the printing press is still in the post office.

[burntorangesky]

[Pause.]

I see. I will stop by your house one of these days. To see about borrowing one of the books.

[A longer pause.]

I may have something for you at that time as well.

Muahaha

[bloody_pens]

Ooooh, I'm INTRIGUED. I shall keep an eye out for you, then.

his agoraphobia is slowly kicking in (which was a late Season 2 surprise, FML)

[man_genius]

Woah woah! Stop by our place? We are not a bookstore, man-twin!

Bawwww

[bloody_pens]

Do you have a better suggestion? The bubbles seem to be gone, but I can't exactly go out hawking my wares in the freezing cold.

Re: Bawwww

[man_genius]

Don't they have a bookstore here? You could sell them in there. You can think of it as moving up in the world.

[bloody_pens]

I was gonna cut a deal with the owner, yeah, but like I said, I keep missing him. Seems to be a quiet sort of fellow.

[pinkhairedchild]

Excuse me Sir, but I'd like to read this book of yours. Lemme borrow it.

[bloody_pens]

Gladly. Stop by any time.

You're Blood, right? That one with the awesome name.

[pinkhairedchild]

Excellent. And I'll need someone to help me with any big words.

Yes, that would be me.

[bloody_pens]

Wouldn't want you to have trouble with the big words, then! Though there shouldn't be too awfully many of them.
