Part 2

Spoiler

Syephan: So...let's talk about the pickled meal lice.

Stephan: So, you did do this.

Stephan: I hope you understand that I'm going to have to revoke your cooking job due to your ability to put other members of our base in danger. Now, as an added restriction, the pickled lice have to go somewhere. You will also need to aid in removing the overstock along with Fanci, Ria, and I.

Stephan: Sophie. We, as in everybody else, don't want you poisoning people out of spite.

Stephan: I know for a fact, save for Fanci, nobody wants you 'gone'. Now would be a good time to hone other skills, to put it in another light.

Stephan: Hmm. Explain.

Sophie: I was mainly gonna do it because well I'm not good when it comes to angry people.

Stephan: I suppose you could, but there's no air if you dig a new hole and hide. It fills with carbon dioxide. It would effectively be a suicide.

Sophie: And by Plan D I mean death.

Stephan: Please. Don't put yourself in dangerous situations like this. We can talk things out.

Stephan: I would highly advise not leaving the base.

Stephan: *Trying to think of a good reason *How....do I put this... Someone running away, even if they feel unwanted, will negatively affect the balance of the base's members. In other words, people are going to worry if they find out someone they know had been missing for 'A few cycles.' and effectively worsten the problem as other start gaining stress.

 

Stephan: Sophie. I'm not going to allow this.

Sophie: I gotta have some sorta severe punishment or whatever for sending almost all the colony to the medical cots.

Stephan: That is true. Which is why I've relieved you of your cooking duties, and are going to help eat the rest of the pickled meal lice.

Stephan: Apologies. I feel this is also partly my fault. I forced you to make your own popcorn despite having enough to share and knowing full well we don't generally get this type of food on the base. Being partly responsible, I couldn't punish you as harshly as if you did this with unfounded rebelliousness. But you are punished, nonetheless.

Sophie: I'm pretty much fine with whatever punishment ya give me.

Stephan: So you understand your restrictions now, yes? No more cooking. We'll have to assign that to someone else. And help eat the rest of the pickled lice.

Stephan: I might also allow you to lock yourself in your room however, as this sudden change seems very stressful to you. As well added to the fact you seemed distressed, it seems like you need a rest. And your diet isn't going to be entirely pickled meal lice, Sophie. I wouldn't wish that upon anyone.

Sophie: It'd be pretty funny if I did die from the pickled lice though

Stephan: Now that we've both agreed on the circumstances, you may leave.

...

Wait a second, Sophie.

Stephan: Stay away from Fanci. He's threatened to, and I quote, 'Beat her to a ******* pulp' end quote. I would heed this warning.

Meanwhile in the infirmary...

Ria: I'll probably just talk to her... Or burn her a little...

Fanci: Hey no burning people weirdo, there's already enough $hit on this plate as is.

Ria: And who are you? I don't believe we've met.

Fanci: Fanci, I'm the one keeping these idiots alive.

Ria: Hey, it's not their fault they're bed ridden.

Fanci: I know that. But still, I'm the one keepin them from dying.

Ria: You need any help? I'm not trained in medicine but I can probably do somethin...

Fanci: Nah it's fine. Was doin fine on my own earlier, sure I can handle it. Anyway heard your lil talk there bout the meal lice. There was nothing in em, least I don't think so anyway. The meals were just pickled, simple as that.

Ria: Yeah I know. Never really had pickles but I knew I didn't like the smell of them. Didn't help Boo here in any case. Except for hunger maybe...

Fanci: Mhm, guess not everyone likes pickled food.

Ria: I wonder what we're gonna do with the rest.

Fanci: Throw em out for the hatches to eat who knows.

Ria: Least we'd get more coal, heh... unless the hatches die...

Fanci: Anyway are you gonna help or are you just here to gawk at the sick? If you're gawking then get out, it's not visiting hours.

Ria: You said you didn't need any help. And I wanted to make sure Bo- I mean, everyone was ok.

Fanci: Thats called an attempt to get you to stop starin at the other freak, weirdo.

Ria: What other freak? You mean Boo? He's not a freak... And I'm not a weirdo!

Fanci: Sure he's a freak, lookit him. Weird claws n fangs. Some weird **** comin out his mouth, textbook freak.

Ria: Hey that's just who he is! He's special! I don't think it was his choice to have claws anyway.

Fanci: Mm whatever, still a freak. Now go leave and do something else, burn a machine I don't care. Just get out the infirmary, you shouldn't even be in here anyway. It's not the visiting hours.

Ria: For your information, I don't use my fire powers to burn things! Although I'd gladly burn your a$$ right now! And as far as I'm concerned, this "infirmary" doesn't have any specific visiting hours so back off!

Fanci: Whilst I'm in charge of this infirmary there will be visiting hours. My patients don't need people like you comin n goin as they please and disrupting the peace. So why don't you get off that horse and **** off, you're being disruptive!

Ria: Oh I'm being disruptive?! Funny, I don't remember starting the argument in the first place! Look, just give me a couple more seconds... *Turns to Boo* I hope you... and the others get well soon, ok? *Turns and leaves*

Fanci: ******* weirdos, thinking they own the place. Who's the one doing all the work here huh? That's right it's me. If it weren't for me this 'Boo' kid would be dead ya hear me!"

And that's all there is for this. Next up is Victor confronting Stephan about the state of the colony and what they should do next.

Shh, no one needs to know that.

I mean yeah! We post all our art in the ONI Discord server!

[DragonMage156]

Spoiler

Stephan: In that case, have a seat and we'll discuss.

Stephan: Butch might. I'm considering assigning him to cook, but I'm not sure of his abilities. Stephy's out of the picture. He's stable for the most part, but blanking out to talk to his....'Joshua' friend...might end in disaster with the grill catching fire. Boo doesn't care. I don't mean to offend him, but I've seen him pick hatches off the floor and eat them. My guess is a toss between Butch and Ria.

Victor: Kate's an artist, yet there's no blank canvases hanging around base anymore. Lettuce could also be a possible candidate.

Stephan: Lettuce?

Stephan: We have planters. In fact, we have an entire room for farming mealwood.

Stephan: We don't know how many medical people are in the base. Therefore, nobody has tried digging for dusk caps for fear of slimelung. At the current moment, we've got bristle blossoms, mealwood, and some pincha pepper nuts.

(I changed to text because it was just Victor alternation between two poses)

Victor: Very well. Speaking of slimelung, I hope Sophie isn't still in the kitchen polluting it with her... "pet".

Stephan: What if we put her 'pet' into a chlorine pocket?

Victor: It may potentially kill it but morbs don't belong in colonies unless kept in controlled quarantine environments such as inescapable pens or pits.

Victor: Another thing I wanted to discuss is colony hygiene. Do you have a sufficient amount of showers, lavatories and wash basins?

Victor: Well you should clean that kitchen before you assign the new chef dupe. Who knows what percentage of slimelung is growing in there.

Meanwhile...

(Just Sophie sobbing a bunch XD )

(Spoilers, she does becomes a plant... or atleast tries to )

 

[DragonMage156]

Spoiler

I missed this one:

Welp, time for her next job...

Kate: How can I? You're not exactly the most convincing topiary.
...
Aren't you supposed to be the chef?

Kate: Aw you got fired? How come?

"I didn't think it'd have such a bad effect"

Kate: Really? I loved the pickled food. Guess it didn't agree with everyone.

"Now I'm just a plant"

Kate: Ah don't worry, we're a tough bunch. I'm sure this isn't the first instance of food poisoning in a space colony.

"And I'm not counting dupes who went into a vegetable state here"

Kate: Well that's probably because it isn't that productive. Are you sure you're not good at anything else? Painting? Running on the generators? Building? Digging?

HotChocolate-Last Wednesday at 12:49 PM

"It'd feel too weird not bein at a cookin station"

Kate: Well you're not gonna acquire any new skills without trying. Maybe start with something simple.

"This is as simple as it comes"

Kate: Ok but... how about digging? It's pretty simple. All your doing is shooting a lazer gun at a wall of rocks.

Kate: Well just make sure you talk to Stephan later. Right now Victor wants to interview me for a new job... oh I think I might know what it is... Sorry.

HotChocolate-Last Wednesday at 1:14 PM

"Just, don't be confused if a spatula or two go missin"

Kate: Um... if I do become the new chef, I'm gonna need those.

"If I remember from my last kitchen visit there were three spatulas"

Kate: Maybe I can get Victor or Stephan to make more if I need them... if I get this job that is.

Kate: Was just about to. Seeya! Good luck in your future endeavors.

(Looks like the "being a plant" business  is going pretty well for her)

(She soon realizes she can't photosynthesize like a plant and still has to eat to survive)

"Looks like this plant is gon go Plan D"

(She may supposed to stay put like a plant but she'll make an exception to eat)

(She has to help eat the pickled food with a few others)

 

[DragonMage156]

Spoiler

Things were going pretty well of Sophie...

That was until...

Sophie: Plants don't walk anyway.

Victor: How else are you gonna gain more skills to work within a colony?

Sophie: Least I'm not a vegetable.

Victor: Let me put it another way... you feel worthless after loosing your last job and sending almost the entire colony under, which by the way Fanci's still mad about, so you've become delusional to try and cope.

V: Well instead of wallowing in the dirt and feeling sorry for yourself, you could try to keep your mind occupied with something else. Take me for example. Whenever I feel sad, I just occupy my mind with more work. Perhaps you can try that. We need more dupes down in the other departments digging out room for showers anyway. Ria is busy researching, like she's supposed to, Stephan's currently interviewing a couple other dupes while some are still sick. We're down a few.

S: I also become other things when I'm panicked and if I can't find Fred or something like him. I cry till I pass out!

V: *Tries to think of a different approach* How about... don't see being fired as a loss but rather an opportunity. Instead of begging for your old job back, go take a walk around base. See what other jobs spark your interest. And no more "being a plant". That's ridiculous.

V: Section A, subsection 4 of the CCR: All duplicants must do a job that is beneficial to the colony. If one duplicant cannot or refuses to do any jobs, one will be assigned to them. If they continue to refuse to work, they will eventually be banished from the colony. Please Sophie, for the good of you and us, try to do something else.

V: I believe sitting here consuming oxygen is unproductive. However if you start using those multitools we arrived here with... y'know, those lazer gun things, you can eventually become good at something and become passionate about it.

S: Before something I didn't expect happened and I made a mistake, and I was fired from my job. And now am getting judged for how I cope.

V: Unfortunately you can't cook anymore and I'm not judging your method of coping but we do need some help excavating. You do know how to use the dig tool, yes?

V: No need to get snappy, I'm only trying to help you... and by extension, the rest of the colony.

V: [This isn't working...] Fine, consume oxygen and send the colony under again in the long run. I have more important things to do than talk to someone as stubborn as a wall.

(And them Baldo appears in the colony)

Victor: *Knocking on Stephan's office door* Stephan, I need your help with a certain jobless duplicant?

Stephan: Oh? Who?

Victor: *Comes in* It's Sophie. She refuses to co-operate and would rather use up oxygen as a "plant" then work for the good of the colony. I'm afraid we may have to take a different approach.

Stephan: Hm... Victor. You also need to take into consideration an individual's tendencies. I was one of the first three to enter this base and know her more than you do. Studying her particular personality, she will mental break for a few days, but end up forgetting why and do something else out of boredom.

Victor: And you think I should just ignore her stubbornness and the CCR?

(It ended here but I'm gonna assume Stephan said "Yeah". Then again, Steph is scared of Victor so who knows? )

 

[DragonMage156]

Spoiler

Ria: *Abandoning her station again* Hey Sophie, ya alright?

Ria: How come? I mean I saw Victor here earlier...

Ria: Yeah... uh, what exactly are you doing anyway?

Sophie: And the easiest job was,, bein a plant!

Ria: Oh... well I hope this helps you feel a bit better. Sorry about you loosing your job.

Sophie: Makes it waaayyy easier to give Fred attention.

Ria: Well that's good I guess... so if you guys need to clean yourselves, do ya just stand in the chlorine room or somethin?

S: Well,, I tend to use the chlorine room, since well. Y'know, Fred? But I don't think the others use it as often as I.

R: Well least it's one way to get clean. Speaking of which did you know Victor is making showers? I'm not sure what that is but he said we need them so...

(Skipped some boring discussion about what/how chlorine, water and bleach stone would work)

S: Honestly, I don't get Victor. He's just sorta,, weird. I dunno.

R: And he talks all jibberish sometimes. Even Stephan is easier to understand.

S: Stephan is way easier to understand than Vic. CCR? What is that?

R: I don't even know. I can ask him at some point.

S: Do that, I don't really wanna talk with the guy.

R: *Pat pat*

S: ,,Anyway shouldn't you go do you job thingy before you end up as a plant?

R: I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna become a plant if I don't research.

S: Well I got fired for not knowin somethin would happen so.

Soon >u<

[DragonMage156]

A wild skeledork appears!

(Btw, I'll be adding dialogue said in the pic above the image since you can't see it too well in some of them)

Spoiler

Dupatch: My hair! (Yeah Mew forgot his hair by accident )

"The dorkiest skelly!"

Dupatch: My head did what?
Stephy: GEK!
(Dupatch used skateboard, it was super effective XD )

Dupatch: *Wishtles while kicking away skateboard*

After a minute...

[Unable to explain to the girls what happened noises]

Stephy: I'm...just...gonna take a..break now...

Dupatch: Awwwwwwwwww- He'll be okay!

Then Lettuce:

Dupatch: A skeleton be me!
-Ria's confused by the speed-
-Lettuce Fangirling-

Lettuce: Did my rituals actually work?! I didn't know anyone actually died here before. You ARE sentient, yes?

Ria: Yes. You are a plant.
Sophie: YAY!
Dupatch: I think therefor sapient yet I have no idea how I got here.

DP: You guys related or...?

Ria: But we are all friends! ^_^

(Sparky's flying, it's a miracle!)

Mines meets Fanci (who's grumpy as always)
(Language warning)

Spoiler

(And yeah I died, don't even worry about it)

DP: You...?

DP: Am I a fun abomination?

(I'm not sure what happened next but he eventually passed out due to too much frustration. "Sufocation of frustration" according to Mines )

And that's the e-

Oh Dupatch, creepy as always XD

Next we're just talking about some tag notes and how Fanci eats pillows in his sleep. Not really an art RPs though.

 

[minespatch]

I'll post the quotes on my ONI thread instead of "interpretations" in my Apophenia art.

[DragonMage156]

ADVENTURE! (Slight language near the end)

Spoiler

Stephan:..... *thinking*.... If you don't lose her, it'll be allright. But please don't bring slimelung into the base. Nobody wants another epidemic.

Fanci: Yeah! Go on! Amscray! (Mines was annoying Fanci )
Spatch: ADVENTUUUUUURE!

Ria: And I guess Mines can come along too.

Spatch: Fancy doors?! Like Doraemon!?"

Sophie: What's Doh-ray-man?

(This is my new favorite reaction image btw XD )

Spatch: Do I even have lungs?
Ria: Foooocuuus.

Sophie: What? Did we do something wrong already? (In reply to the facepalm)

Ria: Let's just focus so we can find some ruins. *Starts digging*

Sophie: I'll dig too, just,, lemme find somewhere to put Fred. He tends to disappear whilst I'm adventuring y'know.

Spatch: Digga digga kaboom.
Sophie: Be right back!

(After a few minutes, Sophie decided to put it in her shirt)

Later...

Sophie: oh ho! What's this place all about. Didn't think we'd find another ruin.

Spatch: A Suuuuuprise?

Sophie: Oh! Oh! Maybe stuff!

Ria: *Pulls out warm sweater* OooooOOOOOooohhhhh~

Ria: Looks warm. Who wants this?

Spatch: Wait... If this is a ruin... Who did it belong to? O_o

Ria: I don't know, there's no name on the tag. The only other thing I can find is this piece of paper that says "Casual Friday is now every Friday".

Sophie: What's a Friday? Sounds fancy.

Ria: I don't know but this suit looks pretty cute.

Spatch: Green's more my color. You two have it.

Ria: *Rummages second locker* Ooh~ Another jacket! This one's light blue! (Cool vest)

(Suddenly, Baldo)

(Context: Someone joked earlier about Sophie's plant looking like salad and we all know what Baldo's like with salad )

Sophie: Bloocket!

Ria: Sophie? Want one of these jackets?

Sophie: Hmmmhmmmmmmmm...

Sophie: ACK!
Spatch: Hey Hey hey!
Baldo: MF!

Sophie: Does this mean I'll have to be a vegetable now?

Ria: Oh no! Ofcourse not!

Sophie: Well,,, I'm not a salad silly! Just a dupe with the job of a plant,, I think.

Spatch: And you are? o-o [blinks]

Ria: Huh, I don't believe we've met. When did you get to the colony?

Sophie:.......
What's vegan?

Baldo: I hate meat. Nobody gets away with killing animals to eat their flesh. It's inhumane! I only eat plants and veggies.

Sophie: Oh! There's a dupe here that only eats meat!

Ria: But hatch meat is really good! BBQ, kabobs... I hope the new chef is as good as Sophie was.

Baldo: But you're KILLING things so you can DEVOUR them! Doesn't that sound just the least bit...i dunno..savage??

Sophie: Well,, he's part bug so uh,,"

Ria: But hatches devour important resources. They're better dead.

Sophie: Also, meats nice. It's survival, isn't it?"

Ria: Yeah and why waste the meat?

Spatch: Well Baldo, we're omnivores. Animals kill things too.

Baldo: You just go ahead with your savage senseless killing ways, but don't come crying to me when you run out of hatches and are forced to eat each other because you've run out of meat.

Ria: We eat plants as well.

Baldo: Anywho, what's going on here?

Ria: I found some jackets.

Dupatch: Didn't I just say that...? Er, we came to check out these lockers. We're on a adventuuuure~!

Baldo: Oooo, are there any yellow ones?

Sophie: Well right now we have this cute little,, sweater thing and uh a blue jacket!

Ria: I don't know

Sophie: Also hey! Since your new,, wanna meet Fred? He's the thing in carryin in my collar thingy I dunno what it is.

Ria: *Rummages last locker*

Baldo: Oh, he's cute!!

Ria: *Pulls out yellow sparkly jacket* Ooh!~ Can I have it, pretty please?!

Sophie: He's apparently really dangerous cause morb stuff or whatever. But he just likes attention really.

Dupatch: -feels kind of dizzy from thethree talking. Gives a smile as the dupes keep talking.-

Sophie: He does! Also, quick word of warning, I'd make sure ya visit the chlorine room for a while after handling Fred n what not. Cause, you know, slimelung?

Spatch: How long have you been here, Baldo?

Baldo: 3 days. Why? D...did nobody notice?

Spatch: We haven't seen you before.

Baldo: I....

Sophie: Well,,, I dunno, I mean I never saw yah over the past three cycles, I've been busy being a plant. But we know you're around now right? That's cool! Least you won't be ignored for the rest of your life now!

Ria: Don't feel bad, everyone was busy with the sick people and such.

Baldo: Y.....yeah...

Ria: Well atleast Fanci was

Spatch: I'm new so I'm just as lost as you. -shrugs-

Ria: Victor was being mean and told me to work at the station and not slack off. YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO NERD!!

Sophie: Somehow Fanci hasn't spotted me yet, I'm thankful for that though to be honest. I don't think I want to be "beaten to a ******* pulp"

Ria: Oh hey Baldo, there is one creature I refuse to hurt. *Points to Sparky on head* Shinebugs! They're adorable and harmless.

That's it.

Nest time on Dupe Banter: A new dupe enters the colony but did the printing pod bite off more than it could chew? Stay tuned.

[DragonMage156]

So Barry's around (remember him? Probably not) and Fanci beat himself up more, trying to get attention.

Spoiler

 

Anyway, I did say new dupe, didn't I? As promised (or maybe more than I promised ^^; ...)

Spoiler

Fanci: Barry I didn't ask you, shut up.

(He landed on a puft)

(I just realized how big his eyes were 0_0 XD )

(Coming from someone called Fanci)

Spatch: We're back from adventuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure!
Ria: Uh... patch?

Spatch: Don't look at me, we just got here!

Buffy: Me just get here! Fit pod just good. Me like tiny dupe!

Spatch: *Peeps up behind Sophie* Fred tired widdle baby.

Buffy: You tiny plant dupe with squish. Hey there squish! *Gentle poke*.

Buffy: Aw I sorry... I no want hurt squish.

Spatch: Can I squish the baby next?

Buffy (at Spatch): Is tiny... bone dupe?

Spatch: *Waves quietly*

Sophie: Yeah... they're bone.

Buffy (at Ria): And tiny... ket dupe?

Ria: A-a-actually I'm half dragon.

Spatch: *Touches Ria ears* Half dragon and....?

Ria: *Ear flick* *Leans away* And what?

Spatch: And... dragon and what? *Stares*

Ria: Half dragon and half human/dupe. That's about it.

Buffy: All this is lot to remember...

Spatch: *Slumps and nods* Alrighty. Wait... If you're part dragon... And Sophie's a plant... Does that mean there's a dna thing we can mess around with? *Grins evily.*

Legs: Oh! and Boo's a mantis!

Ria: Sophie has a plant on her head as a new job, not a genetic thing. Me on the other hand... no idea how that happened. Maybe it was some outer force at work. Some godly being...
(4th wall reference )
Boo: Yeah, I'm still here guys, mantis claw guy.

Sophie: Yup! I'm not actually a part of a plant. That'd just be weird.

Buffy: Hey nother tiny dupe! *Points at Boo* Tiny dupe have claw!

Boo: ...okay who the heck is the giant guy

Buffy: Me Buffy! Me new here!

Boo: ...Right, okay got it.

Spatch: How do these leaves work?

Buffy: Why tiny dupe scream? Is tiny dupe hurt? Buffy take tiny dupe to med bed? Buffy good doctor!

Sophie: I've already lost one of these leaves, if I lose em all I might not be able to photosynthesize and...... wait

Spatch: How do we make sunlight in a place with no sun...?

Buffy: *Tilts head before walking off and coming back with a watering can* All dupe need water!

Legs: Same way we have extensive prosthetic to help someone without anything except legs and a brain live and function.

Buffy: *Waters Sophie's head plant*

Spatch: So all we need to do is get Sophie under a replacement sun, right?

Victor (walks in): What on earth is going on here? Why is no one working?

Buffy: Hi tiny dupe! Me Buffy!

Victor: I can see that.

Spatch: I'm unemployed!

Victor: Yes I know. I'm actually here to address that along with these other slackers here. Honestly, are you trying to teach the hulk proper grammar or are you all planning on what to work on next.

It better be the latter.

Sophie, I believe I've given you more than enough time to recooperate after your last job loss. I think it's time I assign you to new things to see what job your more suited for. As for you... skeleton dupe whom I haven't properly met yet... you will also be assigned to a job you are most skilled at. Mind telling me what your profession is?

Spatch: I can do mostly anything though I'd love to mess around with DNA *Rubs hands*

Victor: I can clearly see he has bad intentions. We already have Ria on research anyway. Although I'm tempted to replace her with him, despite the risks.

Spatch: *Slumps* I just like creating! Is that crime?!

Sophie: Well... kinda? I dunno, I'm just a plant.

Victor: While I appreciate the enthusiasm, I can't assign dupes to jobs willy-nilly. First I must get to know them or atleast interview them first. We work within a system where dupes who are best as a certain job get an assignment. Atleast now we do since I got here.

Sophie: That's how I became a plant! ...Well not exactly but I think I'm barred from my old job so I'm just a plant now.

Spatch: Fine by me. I have no idea what I do.

Victor: I believe it was Stephan who put you in the position, correct? Perhaps he should have interviewed you first or gathered more info. It was clear you could use more breaks or something so you weren't driven to poison the whole colony. Never the less, we cannot change that. Sophie, since I know you can do it, you will be assigned the job to dig.

Sophie: But I already dig Victor! How else would I go on those lil adventures?!

Victor: I know but how about something a little more productive like digging down where I plan the showers and lavatories to be built.

Legs: Oh! and also, on DNA stuff, Stephy's a mix between a Stephan and a Joshua because somebody decided to kick the printing pod's controls.

Sophie: But Victoooorrrrrr! That's boooooooringggggggg! Also who's this somebody? I didn't know we had a dupe called Somebody bout here.

Spatch: I'd be good. *Hands behind back, looking innocent*

Victor: It may be boring but that's how colonies work. *Senses weird vibes coming from Dupatch*

Sophie: But I'm a plant Vic, a sentient plaaaant.

Victor: No! You're not a plant. Plants live completely differently from us and other animals. Plants use photosynthesis to survive where as we have to consume food an- *continues lecturing while Ria secretly pulls Sophie out of there*

Ria (whispering): I forgot to check out the other brain machine I found. Thought you'd wanna come along.

Sophie: Oo!! Brain machine!

Ria: You don't mind me trying it this time, do you?

Spatch: *Gave a dumb staring expression as he listened*

Victor: Is rambling on about why you can't be a plant.

Buffy: *Spacing out or something*

Spatch: *Spaces as well*

Sophie: Where's this brain machine? Show show!

Ria: I saw the machine not too far from the last ruins we were at.

Sophie: Ooh!

(Here's a visual of what's happening right now )

Ria: *Jumps in chair* Ok fire it up!

Spatch: *Sneaks up behind Victor* You talk too much.

This was as far as we got but Ria got Rock crusher trait aaaaand I don't really know (or care) what happened to Victor XD

Preview for next time:

Spoiler

Don't ask, HotChocolate's just creative and weird at the same time

 

[DragonMage156]

I might skip a bit. It's only Sophie and Spatch talking about how Sophie's a plant now. Kinda boring, no offense (plus it's a lot to scroll back through) so... have Fanci dressed as a chicken against his will (and watch the shenanigans that ensure )

Oh yah and Fanci usually means language so...

Oh and possible gore/violence warning? It's hard to tell what's blood in black and white sketches ^^;

Spoiler

(osh!t)

Sophie: Actually, can chickens even bite? I thought they pecked.

Spatch: Mr.Chicken is Fanci!

Spatch: The beak is above his eyes!

Stephan (Who's a cool cleric because i guess we're miitopia RPing now??) : Rather low level for a thief, huh?

Spatch: Huh...? OAO;;;

Stephan: Thieves get that kind of gear.

Spatch: VICTOOOOOOOOOOR! HElp!
(Don't ask him for help XD )
Mew (cos it doesn't make sense otherwise): Soph! you're killing Fanci

Spatch: *Starts bawling at the hopelessness of the situation*

(Lettuce comes in...)

Lettuce: ...
Hello Spatch.

(Seriously though, is that drool or blood coming from his mouth?)
Lettuce: You're choking my son, Sophie. (Btw for context, Lettuce kinda "adopted" Fanci as her son).

Lettuce: ...Yeah. Let go of him.

Lettuce: *Goes up to Fanci and kneels* You OK, Fanci?

Spatch: *Pats Lettuce's spinal curve and looked at Fanci* No more nibble nibbbles.

Spatch: It's alriiiight. *Pats both Fanci and Lettuce*

*Hands hat* Sneeze into this.

Lettuce: I don't think he needs to sneeze, Spatch.

Spatch: But he's crying... (I think what he meant was "blow your nose" but eh)

Lettuce: His throat was under severe pressure. he couldn't breathe.
...
Does a skeleton breathe?

Spatch: Not that I know of.

Lettuce: *Picking up Fanci* I'm not a medical doctor, but hopefully his trachea wasn't damaged....that's the place you breathe from, by the way. Because if so, he'd either die from being unable to breathe, have severe trouble breathing or he stops being able to talk.

Spatch: He was talking so that couldn't be it. Lets get him to a specialist.

Lettuce: That's a better idea...

Lettuce: Fanci, Fanci, you're ok.

And thus, Fanci started acting nicer towards everyone... or just scared of Sophie, given being nicer was already on his "To-do" list (you'll have to confirm that with HotChocolate though as I can't fully remember what's canon).

Spoiler

HotChocolate: Soph no understand why he spooked.

Mew: Sophie, you tried to eat Fanci.

Next time: Boo puts a bucket on his head and clams to also be a chef. But how will the lovestruck Ria react?

[DragonMage156]

Forgot to post yesterday... my bad ( ._.)

Now for Bucket Head Boo

Spoiler

Ria: Omg, you look so cute! ^_^

Boo: I mean I'd prefer bein called cool more, but cute's fine.

Ria: We haven't talking in a while, what's up? And I though Kate was the chef... Guess she didn't get the job after all.

Boo: I used someone as a meatshield it was great! (<^ This is actually based off Miitopia).

Ria: Oh well that's...
Thought: [How did Victor allow Boo to be chef?]

Boo: I mean it probably was a dream, there was a dupe with blue hair there and nobody here has that kinda color.

Ria: Oh good. I don't take you as that kinda person anyway. You're kind and sweet... and...

Boo: Well, I wouldn't be able to cook anyway, what with claws n all.

Ria: Yeah...

Boo: I mean, I know I'm kind but the way you said it made it sound like I shouldn't have heard it.

Ria: Wait... d-did I say that out loud?

Ria: Oh pod... *Covers face* I thought I was thinking that. [It's ok Ria, he doesn't understand what I actually meant by that.]

Stephan:....Not entirely sure it was a dream, Boo.

(Stephan's mind: I hope nobody knows I sleep in this...)

Ria: I mean... you are kind. You don't stab us for no reason, you wouldn't actually use someone as a meatshield, you care whether we're alright or not. Yeah sorry for acting a bit weird there ^^;

We kinda derailed after this and ended up fusing our OCs so...

Next on the list: Fanci trying to be nice after Baldo admitted he scares him...

Maybe he's trying to be nicer

Spoiler

Lettuce: Oh, Fanci, looks like someone's uncharacteristically happy. What's wrong?

Lettuce: You're shaking, honey. There's something wrong. *Sets Fanci next to her against his will* Tell Aunt Lettuce what's wrong, sweetie.

Lettuce: Are you sure? You look like a wreck. But, if you're sincere, I won't stop you. Just remember, I'm always someone to talk to if you need to spill your mind.

Fanci: Trying to smile for however long is just a bit..awkward right now. Nothin serious though.

Later...

He has a rock friend he vents to

And last but not least, a duplicant of.. well a duplicant.

Spoiler

Sophie: Fanci have you seen Fred?
Fanci: Uhhh

(We were talking about possible names for second Sophie and came up with ideas such as Toffee and Suffee)

Mines: She now sounds like a candy. XD
Spatch: I call'em "SUFFIE-O'S!

Spatch: Then we can make improved mushbars!
Sophie2.0: What...?

Spatch: You don't have anything to worry about! We can both try!

Sophie2.0: And I don't want to cause trouble on my first day here.

Spatch: First day... Here? O_O

Spatch: That makes both of us.

Spatch: Let's see if we can get jobs. I have no idea what I'm good at. We seem to be both diggers from what you and my gun tells me.

Spatch: All I know is a person named "Steff" er... The guy at the desk with giraffe.

Stephy: Don't worry. The two of us haven't found jobs either.

Spatch: *Slumps* Where did you come from? *Blinks at Stephy*

Stephy: I've recovered....again...from the little incident....

Spatch: *Slowly walks back with a forced smile* Congrats...

Sophie2.0: You can talk about this 'incident' later, and you can tell me about it after because I'm curious now!"

Spatch: *Rubs the back of their neck* It was both but yeah, let's go.

Sophie2.0: I want to know every detail.

Stephy: ...No.

Spatch: *Cringes* Let's get jobs...

Sophie2.0: Why not? Where's the fun in learning things if I don't get the full details? It just leaves you with more questions in the end! And yeah, we can talk about this later. For now let's just search the place for giraffe man!

Later, I guess?...

(He wasn't expecting 3 people at once. Also new Sophie )

Stephan:...Giraffe man...I haven't heard that name yet. Sophie, you're a little less...botanical...than I remember. Did you finally find a real job?

Sophie2.0: How did you know my name by the by? Are you a psychic giraffe man?!

Stephan: I see. *Ahem* My name is Stephan. I'm the one who assigns jobs for people. It seems I'm a little behind.
(A little? Stephy's been jobless for months)
Spatch: *Slowly raises a hand* I'd like a job...?

To be continued...

Aaaaand that's all I have time for today. Next time: Victor, nough said.

Part 2:

Spoiler

Sophie2.0: I was actually talkin to the skeleton thing earlier bout how I was better with digging than the cooking side of stuff. Also what's this about last chances? I just got here.

Spatch: *Double thumbs up*

Stephy: *Looks at Victor and waves*

Spatch: *Sniffs underarm* Showers?

Sophie: She's only been gone for like a couple of minutes I think, but they don't know the place and I'm worrying they locked themselves in the chlorine room or something. I mean I've checked and they aren't there but y'know, just in case we have another chlorine tank i don't now of I thought I'd just ask.

Stephy: Give me a job next!!

Joshua and I have been jobless for months.

Stephan: I'm sorry, I didn't expect three people at onc-

Stephy: FOUR!

*Silence*

Stephy: .....Joshua?

Stephan:...Three and a half people....at once.

Victor: And I'm happy everyone else is showing enthusiasm for working. Y'know what? I'm feeling generous today. Stephan, why don't you assign some jobs?

Stephan: Of course.

Spatch: Finally

Stephan: (To Spatch) Mister.... ghost....

Spatch: People call me Spatch. ^^ I guess they see me as a spatula? Like some vamperic kitchen utensil?

Stephan: I....see....(Curbs deeply rooted fear of dead/undead) What....What are you good at in general?

Spatch: *Rubs chin* I like science and combining things. *Beams* If people give me a task, I can be flexible.

Stephan: Well, let's see how you do with research. We've also got Lettuce on the task, so don't be alarmed if one of the stations is occupied.

Spatch: Never done it before, so fun!

Sophie: Can't find him anywhere in the base and it's pretty worryin.

Spatch: *Worryingly smiles*

(Phew, lotta words )

Spatch: I gotcha!

Sophie: FRED! *Drops Victor immediately*

Sophie: Father? You mean pod right? Unless you're calling the pod Father like how you called the pod Mother waaaay earlier! But then wait... that wouldn't be a consistent storyline.

Victor: *Shakey* I... I failed...

Ria: Maybe... maybe he's remembering something from his past life?

Sophie: What past life? Our life's on an asteroid! What else is there to remember? Unless there are corpses of ourselves in this place, to find!

Spatch: *Tries to keep up with the lore bombs* (Idk if this is 4th wall or not )

Ria: I don't know. Maybe we had a life on Earth once or y'know... something like that.

Sophie: What's an Earth?

Sophie: I mean, I'm sure if I got strangled I wouldn't remember anything...

Ria: A place before the printing pod? Maybe...

Sophie: But why call it Earth?

Ria: *Shrug*

Sophie: Maybe i should try strangling my self to see if I remember anything cool

Sophie: Maybe I'll learn about that incident! I'll understand why Stephy reacted in such a way! (This is referring to when Mines first entered the colony if you remember that episode )

Victor: *Still a ball of emotional mess*

Spatch: *Groaned, hands covering face*

Sophie: Myah hah! Can't keep secrets from me forever Stephyyy!

Ria: *Goes over to Victor* Are you ok? Victor: Looks away. Takes a deep breath and stands up, picking up broken glasses. W-well I guess... I should take my leave. I... ahem... I need to... repair these.

Sophie 2.0(Suffie): Do you,, need help with that Mr. Glasses Wearer?

Victor: No! I mean... n-no thank you..."

Suffie: Mm you sure? I mean, the plant monster that looks suspiciously likes me and even has the same name as me. Might be wanderin around lookin for someone or somethin to strangle to near death again.

Spatch: I could help him.

Victor: I'm fine!... Really...

Suffie: Well alright then, not gonna push you futher. I'll go dig some stuff in that shower place or wherever"

Spatch: *Approaches Victor* Are you sure...?

Victor: Yes I'm sure... *Is getting annoyed*

Spatch: *Inches back sheepishly*

Victor: *Leaves without another word*

That concludes todays episode. Next time on Dupe Banter: A new mysterious dupe shows up. Almost from thin air. But who is this new face?

Stay tuned

[DragonMage156]

New dupe: TheAir, or as I like to call her, Air.

Spoiler

(Woop, art style change ;P )

Later...

Lettuce: (Who is working on the research thing and can't multitask well, so she can only somewhat understand what Fanci is saying) What do you mean, hun?

Lettuce:...That's nice, dear.

 

Lettuce: Could've been....Hey, I dropped an empty vial. mind picking it up for me? I need it.

Fanci: But wouldn't it be impossible for a new dupe to appear this soon? We just had that second Sophie appear like only yesterday.

Lettuce: Uh....If you want to, I guess. Go for it.

Lettuce: Did you try making a net?

Fanci: Maybe I could stuff em in a sack instead...

Lettuce: Fanci, Honey, dear, I'd love to talk with you. But Aunt lettuce is at work right now.

Even more later...

Fanci: Why were they there? I have no clue.

Mew (idk if this was actually Lettuce or not): A fish?

Lettuce: (Finished research)....Mystery dupe?

Fanci: You know! The weird dupe that ran away at me seeing them that I told you about?

Lettuce: Fanci, you don't seem to realize I have a hard time multitasking. I would've never said anything like that if I knew what you were actually talking about.

Fanci: They might be a lil unconscious though, it was too hard trying to shove em in the sack whilst they were awake.

Lettuce: *Looks into the bag and gasps* Fanci...honey...you can't just go around kidnapping others. How long were you dragging this poor woman around?

Lettuce: Take her out of that sack right now. I need to see if she's got a concussion or not.

Fanci: ...Fine.

Lettuce: A little more gently next time? You could've hurt someone. *To TheAir* Hello, sweetie, are you okay?

Lettuce: Of course I can, sweetie. Come, sit next to me, and we'll talk. I don't bite.

Lettuce: It's okay. I won't hurt you.

Air: Y-you could easily just attack me or s-something

Lettuce: What could I possibly gain from hurting you, young one?

Air: I-Isn't that why i was dragged here?

Lettuce: No, honey, of course not. shhhhh-shhhh-shh. Don't be scared. come here. Tell Aunt Lettuce your name.

Lettuce: *Sitting down on a chair to appear less threatening* Hello, TheAir. I understand.

Lettuce: Oh, but why were you hiding until now?

Air: I would probably still be hiding if I didn't get spotted...

Air: ...anyway, what do you think about air? It's pretty nice right?

Lettuce: Why do you want to hide? No one is going to hurt you...

Lettuce: Why, dear?

Back to Boo's cannibalistic impulses... (I'm using "Cocoa" and "Mew" in this because they didn't mention any specific character)

Also slight blood warning...

Spoiler

Cocoa: That's... nice Boo?

Ria: Oh my pod! 0_0 Like... the whole body?

Spatch: *Is digging a grave*

Boo: I mean I wasn't done eating them but I guess I could go grave robbing later on when I feel hungry again.

Spatch: I just made this grave! GAH!

Spatch: QAQ;;;;

Boo: Wait till it starts decaying or till there's not much meat on the body.

Lettuce: It's for research, Spatch! I gotta find out what I did to raise you, the undead! (Mew is not responsible for anyone who may be put off by this image... cos it's not a dead baby :/ )

Spatch: Mommy...?

Lettuce: I mean, bring a dead person back to life, hun.

Spatch: Can I help? *Raises arm*

Lettuce: I suppose you can, Spatch.

Spatch: Can you eat... Pufts? *Worried grin*

(Guess not)Later...

Lettuce: Here's my computer.

Lettuce: Chock full of notes and research on the (un)dead. Go ahead. Read some. Not sure who wrote it.

(This next image isn't relevant but I thought'd I'd post it cos it was still somewhat related)

Anyway, next time on Dupe Banter, Mines tries to touch a mysterious figure living near someone's head... or should I say in the head (it's not Stephy/Joshua btw)

[DragonMage156]

Voidetta:

Spoiler

(That's a weird opening line, Void )

Spatch: Wooo, Voidetta. The leaky pipe dupe pokemon.

Voidetta: I mean, I'm not even a pipe.

Spatch: Your head as a hole. Does a neck count as a pipe?

Voidetta: And it's not really a hole, it's more like a parasite nest thing I'm not sure.

(Oh yeah, forgot to mention, Mines is in the void now)

(Insert Desmond the Moon bear here)

Spatch: If there was just a sea of holes...

Void Lettuce: We don't know if they're demons or monsters, really.

Spatch: Auntie Lettuce...?

Void Lettuce: Oh! A skeleton! How did you know my name, hun?

(This Lettuce is unphased by the fact that skelly-men, zombies, demons, and monsters exist because..well...she lives here now).

Spatch: I don't like making deals with demons.

Lettuce: That's very wise. I wouldn't. I might not know if they ARE demons or not, but one bonded with Longwei here, who's weakest attribute is his thoughts. It was able to read his mind, And it turns out they bond with a host's weakest spots to feed off insecurities.

Spatch: Uh... How did you get in here, Auntie Lettuce?

Spatch: OUO;;;; Am I dreaming? *Foondles ponytail at the confusion over voidling's statement* So... Oh no... Ohonoohnoohononono.

Lettuce: *Holds onto Spatch* What's gotten you so riled up, Skeleton sir?

Voidetta: If you're worried about how you're friends or whatever feel bout your dissapearance I don't think they even remember you now? I mean I don't think the colony I was in really noticed after I wound up here first but I dunno,,

Spatch: So... We've never met, Lettuce? Am I a figment of you two's imagination?!

Void Lettuce: come, sit down with me, Voidetta, Skeleton. It'll be easier to discuss that way. We don't exactly have any chairs, but we do have a massage table we could sit on like a couch...

Spatch: Erm... Sitting down sounds nice *whimpers*

Voidetta: Yeah, I could do with a sit down.

Void Lettuce: Let's see if I can explain things as painless as possible: people, objects, everyhting here. none of us exist, technically. The void is a sort of plane of existence outside of the world that most people would call "Real Life".

Spatch: So... I don't exist now? *Started to shake again*

Void Lettuce: *Searching for words that make it sound less like "We don't exist and nobody can help us"* ... Everyone around us exists for us, so we technically DO exist, but not in that world.

Voidetta: I like to think of the void as a pocket dimension sort of thing.

Spatch: Oh... Okay. And you are...? *Glanced at Voidling*

Voidetta: If you're asking me I'm Voidetta, and the void demon here is Eye. He has a different name but trust me it's hard to pronounce.

Spatch: *Dug a hand into the collar and pulled out a paper* Does anyone have a pen?

Voidetta: Uh, no?

Void Lettuce: I might. Why?

Spatch: To understand Eye's name.

Void Lettuce: Oh. here you go *gives*

Spatch: Okay Voidling, here you go. Can it read out letters and stuff?

Voidetta: I'm pretty sure Eye can.
(bdumtish)
Spatch: Eye eye cap'n. *The skeleton teased*

Spatch: Is eye maaaaaad?

Voidetta: Try not to make him too angry please, I don't know what he'll do when he's really angry but it probably won't be good.

Spatch: *Confused slump* What could he do in here? It's a empty place.

Voidetta: Well, he has a tendency to give me a bit of a shock if something happens that he doesn't want. Like if I ask him questions and such.

Spatch: That's mean. *Inches up to Eye* You bully.

Voidetta: I'd stop by now? He's getting pretty riled up.

Spatch: *Inches by Lettuce* sorry.
*Pauses* I suddenly have a need to experiment a hypothesis.

Voidetta: Huh?

Spatch: *Tries to grab at Eye*

Void Lettuce: *Watching from a safe distance in case it tries hurting someone*

Voidetta: Uh, maybe don't?

Spatch: But I gottaaaaa *Tries to grab*

Void Lettuce: Voidetta, let him do it just once. *Slowly slipping from care mode to morbid curiosity mode*

Voidetta: No you don't gotta!

Spatch: I need to find how squishy! *Tries to grab tighter*

Voidetta: Stop! Eye isn't squishy! I'm not squishy! Eye's probably just some weird smoke thing!

Spatch: I need to rove my hypothesis tough!

Voidetta: You don't!

Vera: Did someone need me?

(Vera is another dupe in the void. You'll find out more about her soon enough)

Spatch: Heyoooooooo

Spatch: Vera, huh?

Spatch: *Points at Voidling* He said it.

Spatch: *Buries face in hands* Sorry... *muffled*

Vera: That's my sister, Veronique.
Voidetta: VOIDETTA!

Spatch: Veronique's not that bad...?

Voidetta: Not a fan of it. Been called Voidetta for a while and hearing my real name just kinda irks me.

- - -

No gonna lie, Minespatch wanting to touch Eye reminds me of one such time with Ria in the old colony:

Good time >u<

I think that's the last big one (I mean there was a spooky stories but it kinda switches between rl talk and dupe talk so I dunno. It's also pretty long and I don't wanna edit all that -_-; )

Maybe I'll post some small tidbits...

Spoiler

Suffie means TheAir:

Opposite Fanci:

(Scary isn't it?  )

Ahem, next time on Dupe Banter: After Barry gets involved with goretober, it left him injured and Fanci becoming over protective. But careful Fanci, you might give him the wrong impression

Kinda lazy on my part but I love this scene.

Hey it doesn't matter. Still funny and better than text XD

[DragonMage156]

Time for some funnies

Spoiler

After Fanci finds out Barry kinda did this to himself...

Barry: I thought you said you'd beat up whatever did this

Fanci: THE INJURIES YOU CAUSED YOURSELF ARE GOOD ENOUGH ALREADY!

Barry: I haven't seen him blink once.

(Fanci I know you're looking out for him but this is creepy)

(I mean...)

(... c'mon)

Ria: Maybe I can take him (referring to Fanci). Fite me! Actually nvm (This bit was more of a joke )

Lettuce: Fanci, honey, what are you doing?

Lettuce: We don't shank people, hun.

And this is where the "Fanci being gay for Barry" joke came from

Couple random pieces:

Spoiler

Fanart:

Another random piece:

Oh great now everyone knows.

 

Spoiler

Mew: Well, I mean, the WAY you care about him is kinda weird.

Ria: "Never leave your side"? I mean c'mon.

Ria: But more than usual dupes ( ._.)

Mew: *Tosses Fanci a banana*

Mew: For eating. I had a bunch and they're starting to go bad.

Ria: *Grabs banana* NOM! (Btw, that was supposed to be directed at a different banana but Cocoa misinterpreted it. Oh well XD )

Btw, this gay joke went on for a few days XD

Spoiler

- - -

And now for the real ArtP:

Lettuce:...Fanci, c-can I talk to you for a second? Without Barry?

Lettuce: Is....(Ahem) Are you aware....*Collects thoughts* So, What's going on, Fanci? You seem a little more clingy than usual.

Incase you're curious - Mew: (* What lettuce was going to say at first "Is it true you're gay for Barry?" "Are you aware" Barry's been spreading that rumor?"*)

Lettuce: Well...okay...but, he's spreading rumors about you. Fanci, honey, maybe you shouldn't cling to him at all times.

Lettuce: He's telling everyone you're gay for him. Now, if that's true, I'm completely supportive, but it's not very nice to say things about someone without the other person knowing.

Lettuce: Then you should probably talk to him. I'll be over here watching in case a fight breaks out. Play nice.

Barry must right the wrong if he wants to live past today...

Oh you thought it was over? That's cute XD

Spoiler

Barry: And this is coming from me here, the ridiculously honest duplicant. So I know what I'm talking about here.

The blushing confuses me honestly. To this day (this was literally yesterday so...) I'm still unsure whether Fanci is actually gay or not XD

Next time on Dupe Banter: John (an almost forgotten dupe who thinks he's a god) meets NotSure and is convinced he is a Demigod. But what will John do to this poor clueless dupe?

[DragonMage156]

Spoiler

(What's that? He looks like Notsure? Nonsense!)

Mew: I dunno. He seemed to survive eating pencils, rocks, and alien parasites that a certain snail cocoa gave him. he could probably eat glass shards and still be fine.

(Suddenly, pink!)

Singer:....NotSure, who's your new friend?

Notsure: Me and him were about to do something.

Singer: Like?

Singer: NotSure! NO! You're not going to stab yourself.

John: ...For me atleast.

Singer: I'm trying to make sure NotSure Doesn't kill himself doing stupid, idiot. *Takes NotSure and pushes him away*

Singer: He's not a demigod, weirdo. he eats rocks.

John: Why else did you think I asked if he wanted to join me?

Singer: Because he's......very impressionable.

Since this was relatively short, have another equally short introduction. Presenting: Kelsey (she likes to write fanfics . )

Spoiler

(I mentioned he looked like a female Liam and Cocoa tried to change it...)

(But the round hair style looked better in the end. Besides, it was too much like Fanci )

Ria: Hey Kelsey, did you know Fanci's gay? Well according to Barry that is.

Aside from that, Minespatch aslo made a new dupe OC called TemptArt. He writes his "name" on everything, supposedly claiming it as his own

Spoiler

\

Even ruined Stephan's giraffe (he's gunna stab a ***** XD )

Seriously though, back to John:

Spoiler

(Look at that smugass face. He give literally 0 fvcks XD )

Ria: No, you're tainted meat.

Ria: Many things, John.

Ria: ***** please, I'm half dragon. If anyone has any kind of powers, it'd be me! Doubt it.

Ria: So... why do you think you're... some kind of god?

Ria: [Quietly] Still crazy (ahem) so what what would you call someone with real powers. I myself have the ability to conjure fire at will.

Lettuce: (overhears) Did someone say powers?

Ria: Uh... I did?

Ria: And him, kinda.

Lettuce: Well, I don't want to brag but...I raised the dead once or twice.

Ria: Well I may not have powers like that... but I can make fire!

Ria: So does that make me some kind of demigod too?Of atleast a mage of some sort?

Lettuce: Why do you say that, dear?

Ria: But... but Joooooohhhn! A clueless dupe who can't tell rock from sand gets demigod title but someone like me with legit powers gets called a freak.

...

. . .

Why does everyone keep calling me a freak?! >_<

Lettuce: John, mind if I talk to you?

Lettuce: *Sitting with John on opposite chairs* So, tell me, when did you first realize you had these powers?

(Ria leaves. Being called a freak of nature really hit her hard this time)

John: I didn't die so I guess it just proved my god like powers.

Lettuce: I see.... John, honey, you say you LIKE pain?

Lettuce: Hmm...It disturbs others, John.

Lettuce: You know what you could as a fun idea? Instead of hurting yourself...and here's what I want you to do for the next few days. How about....instead of taking every opportunity to hurt yourself, try to limit it? That way, you'll get more enjoyment doing it at set times? Just anticipating a certain time of day.

Lettuce: How about... 3 times a day?

John: 5 times a day.

Lettuce: four

John: Six

Lettuce: Two

John: Seven

Lettuce: Once a day

John: Eight

Lettuce: None

John: ...Five

Lettuce: Four

...

John: ...fine, four a day.

(Btw, Mew and Cocoa, that was a nightmare to add all the names to XD )

Lettuce: Okay. When you wake up, eat, go to the bathroom and sleep.

John: Alright then I guess.

(Now he bored)

Meanwhile...

Next time on Dupe Banter: Ria attempts to get even with John but it doesn't end well when someone walks in in the midst of a fight.

Bonus off-topic:

Spoiler

He looks like a pirate

 

[DragonMage156]

Ria's had enough of being belittled:

Spoiler

Ria: No point moping around about it.

Meanwhile...

[Loud door noise]

(Ria, you can't just jump on people like that just for a fight XD )

(Incase you didn't know, when Ria's angry enough her tail will morph into a sharp shape and her hangs will become more predominant. Needless to say, she's pissed off)

(John's addiction to pain is... unsettling to say the least  )

Lettuce: No, honey, no.

John: If anyone should be getting the 'no, honey, no", it should be them.

Lettuce: Ria, why? John's trying to limit how many times he gets to gut himself a day.

Ria: They insulted me! Calling me a "fire wielding freak"! Do you know what it's like being called that through your whole life! And I'm not just talking about in this colony either! You know I get emotional easily.

Lettuce:....Do....you want to talk to me about it?

Ria: ... no...(she's trying to seem strong) I just want to prove to this guy that he's not a god and his "powers" are non-existant compared to mine.

John: Well still your fault for actually going through with it all and hurting me. ,,I mean, I'm not complaining. That felt nice

Ria: Well maybe you should take other peoples feelings into account for once!

John: A god does not dabble in the emotions of those below them

Lettuce: Hurting him is not a way to prove it. *Pulls Ria aside* I think the only way to truly prove he's not invincible is by slitting his throat, but so help me if you do.

Ria: Good idea. Luckily I'm not intent on killing him. Just fighting him now goes against everything I know. On the other hand, shooting out that amount of fire felt good. It's like letting out all my anger at once. Then I started getting cocky...

Lettuce: I'm trying to see if I can wean him off of hurting himself and finding something more productive to do. First things first, limiting the amount of time with the unhealthy habit.

Ria: Well I already know he's not a god. Aside from the delusional attitude, I heard gods don't bleed.

Kelsey (new dupe I believe):

Spoiler

(She writes fanfics... like shippy fanfics... between two people)

Ria: Tell me more about these fanfics of yours. *Leans in closer*

Ria: Yes I do 0u0

Kelsey: Trust me you don't need to see em.

(Oh yah, Ria is fluent in strikethrough (you may remember me saying that from a Dupe-A-Day post >u< )

(Then Spatch and Kelsey talk about theory fics. I would have included it but... idk, it seemed a bit boring, no offense ^^; )

Later...

Ria thinks: Hmm... Maybe I should write my own fanfic.

Some randoms:

(John's just bored cos he can't stab himself... he has a pretty impressive burn mark though )

Ria attempts to write fanfiction of a certain two monster dupes in the colony

Spoiler

(I can write way better/trashy than this btw XD )

(Ohai Boo! What timing)

Fun fact: The fanfic is actually based of a failed RP starter:

More teasing Fanci:

Spoiler

Spatch: *Inches up to Fanci* Ugaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay?

Baldo: Hey, it's fine. No one's gonna judge you for it!

Ria: Yeah, I'm accepting of everyone, no matter what. I actually know someone who's gay actually... and happily married if I remember correctly...

Fanci: Why don't you all **** off! Not like it's gonna hurt you not knowing something. ******* d!cks

Ria: I think if you told someone though, you feel lighter... like finally getting something off your chest. And we'll stop pestering you so it's a win win! I promise not to tell anyone. Can't say the same for Baldo... or anyone else to be honest...

Fanci: Not saying anything, so why don't you all just leave? You're not getting any information out of me.

Ria: *Sits down* Nope! <u<

Fanci: God you're so ******* terrible. You know that weirdo?

Ria: Ok ok y'know what? I was gonna leave anyway. Why chat with a "wall" when I can have more fun else where?

Fanci: Good. Now leave, go bug someone else.

Ria: Ok. I'm sure Boo wouldn't mind being bugged. Ha! Get it?

Ria: I'm sure my pet shinebug wouldn't mind being bugged either >u<

(Ria's terrible, I know XD )

A random Stephan with a 0w0 face

Spoiler

(Tempart strikes again )

More awful John

Spoiler

Ria: Yes (she wants him dead)

Ria:... I though gods didn't bleed.

Ria: Then why not stop?

John: Because it feels nicer bleeding.

(Oh my pod  )

Next time on Dupe Banter... I have no idea. I caught up with the art RPs XD

I guess I could say that Ria's planning a style change

I know what I said last time... but have some shorts first:

Spoiler

Mew: Hello!

Mew: What were you gonna say before it?

Mew: It must not have been too important, then.

John:

Spoiler

Mew: Nobody cares, John. Unless you're NotSure. Then we might.

Mew: Where'd the tunnel lead to?

John: I don't have to keep an eye on them. Not like I really care.

Singer: OH MY POD! WHICH DIRECTION?! I've been looking for NotSure for AGES!

Baldo finally gets his snazzy suit:

Spoiler

Later...

(Mew forgot what snazzy suits looked like so she drew a shirt with the word "snazzy" on it )

Before we finish this bit, a new dupe:

Spoiler

(Not sure what the second image is tbh)
Navarette or Nava for short.

(Mines said there was gonna be a lot of hand kissing XD )

Baldo: You're like...me...if my eyebrows were on my lips.

Baldo:....w....

(he has no idea the perfect way to say "You're speaking in tongues. what ARE you?!")

(First time Ria's been kissed. Idk whether to laugh or say "poor Ria" XD)

Baldo: Kiss me again and get a fresh black eye, jerk!

(Ria's still not responding )

(Poor Fanci's so confused right now XD )

(followd by Baldo chasing down Fanci and jumping onto his back... no really)

Baldo: You're the gay guy, right? What's it mean when someone comes up to you and starts kissing your hand?

Nava: I need some help, mon ami.

Ria:... aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh...... (tiny sound)

Fanci&Baldo: reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Nava: ._.

Barry: *Internal confusion*

Baldo:.....*deep breaths. calm self*...What.

Baldo: So are we.

(Idk about the last two, I just wanted to post Barry shrugging XD )

(Ok gonna post more cos it's still related to this conversation)

Extra! (Fanci talks to his rock friend):

Spoiler

Ria takes a darker fashion approach:

Spoiler

Kate: Hm? Why?

Ria: Eh... thinking about changing my style.

Kate: Are you feeling ok, Ria?

Ria: I don't know...

Kate: Well I'll see what I can do...

(Ria got one eventually)

(Don't worry, it isn't real fur... I hope)

Next time on Dupe Banter: Goomy claims she found her true calling... but what is this so called "true calling"? And how will Butch feel about Goomy now?
