[ The feed starts. ]

Hey, this is September. Please don't dissect me, thanks.

[ The feed ends.

It starts again several hours later. The boy appears shaken up, actually shaking his head at the screen as he readjusts his posture. His partner's next echoing words: "No one is out to get you, you moron." Apparently he remembered that small lecture over this short range of time, so here he is again. He rubs at his neck that appears pink from pinching. Making E N T I R E L Y sure this still isn't a dream, it seems. Or something worse.

So, he tries to fix his small stumble there. ]

Right, I was kidding before. Hah. Okay, I'm September and don't attack me. Thank you. [ That works, right? ]

( P.S. Permissions post for dream eating, thanks! )

...Okay? Whatever happened to 'how are you guys' or do we not do that up here anymore?

[Seriously, September. What kind of introduction is that?]

Edited 2012-10-12 00:48 (UTC)

[ He opens his mouth to speak, but he appears to choke on his reply. And swallows it. Reconsidering the comment, this is take three: ]

"How are you guys?"

[ ... ]

How are you, guy?

[Hook valiantly manages not to show how startled he is upon seeing such a familiar face. instead, when the video clicks on to the pirate smoking his twin cigars, he arches a brow, and there is something dark in his expression.]

My, what a thing to say.

Edited 2012-10-12 01:00 (UTC)

[ Wait.

Wait, hold on. You can't just say you're startled when he's the one startled by the pirate smoking twin cigars. No, you don't just do that. Who even does that?

No one, that's who. ]

Yeah, that's definitely a thing... that has been said. [ His voice is distant while making sense of the scenario. Correction: Trying. Waking up in goo spaceship does not equal pirate smoking twin cigars, there's something wrong in this equation. ]

So far, ain't heard of no one goin' 'round dissectin' people. Think you're aces on that front.

I—

[ His eyes search for the source of the voice, met with confusion. Just a voice is a little off-putting. ]

I would like to think I'm... "aces on that front," [ A painful squint. He honestly does not understand that phrasing. ] but not one-hundred percent on that. I've taken it back at this point.

Attacks ain't goin' on right now - heard there was some fuss in all that fog, though for me it was just kinda scary.

Still, most people here are real friendly!

Not. Right. Now?

Oh? And what, exactly, might we learn from dissecting you?

St... uff...

[ September doesn't have the slightest idea, being honest. He's as human as everyone else ( as far as he knows; complete with the Dream Eater touch ), but not exactly an expert about his insides. Just ignore his odd paranoia that ~*~everyone is after him, ooooh~*~

Meanwhile, please use video. You're freaking him out. ]

Ah—

Dissection? Why was that a particular concern?

[This isn't fun, but it doesn't exactly appear to L to be an alien abduction. If it is, the aliens seem reluctant to get to the point at any pace that would make the whole enterprise worthwhile, unless the purpose is to study a variety of personalities in this precise bizarre situation.]

It wasn't a very funny joke, sir. Your sense of humour leaves something to be desired, if I may.

To be honest, I wasn't really joking. I didn't laugh either, if you hadn't noticed.

Eh -- but if you phrase it like that, wouldn't it just put the idea in people's heads? They say if you tell someone 'don't think about a pink horse,' they'll immediately start thinking about a pink horse, no? So, if you say 'please don't attack me' ...

[ he's totally joking okay, but he does pull off a slightly sinister voice pretty good. ]

[ NOOOOOO203itPOJWQEGI ]

No. [ When in doubt, say "no." Top notch, September. ]

Funny joke to start off with.

[ A pause. Goddamn, he pauses a lot. Mentally preparing for interaction, maybe?

Although it doesn't mean he's the best or even close to 'satisfactory:' ]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. [ And you've just heard the most horrific forced laughter in the history of forced laughter. ]
