Day 3, overnight

[snackcakeordeath]

[Just before the time votes generally get announced, the smoke alarm in the basement starts giving an ear-splitting buzz. Hope you weren't trying to get some quiet time in your dressing room, since for a good five, ten minutes, it is not very quiet.

[Then, thankfully, the alarm shuts off abruptly. A moment later, Little Debbie herself comes shrieking over the monitors. She looks furious.]

What in the world do you devil squares think you're doing!? You had to do this today? Really? First, the cold fishest of dates, then the world's most boringest voting, and now you're messing up our stuff? Don't you know what all we're dealing with here!?

Seriously, if it wasn't such an important day, you guys'd be in sooo much trouble! So give your praises for my my sweet fucking demeanor-slash-absolute lack of time right now for dealing with this dollar bin garbage, and start getting your keisters in gear! Romance is a legitimate genre, just look at the book sales! And I want a piece of that Fabio pie! So you nutty buddies are gonna get out there, you're gonna date, there's gonna be some sparks, and we're gonna get top trending numbers tomorrow, or else!

[The girl stomps her foot, near tantrum; Swiss Miss takes over.]

Whatever you think you've done, it did not work. No more mini-marshmallows until you improve. Marshmallows are for closers.



PS, Kimi and Elise are dead.

I suppose in theory you could do anything, presumably with your choice of both location and time. Other than the one thing, I'm not sure how I'd narrow it down, either.

[fastandloose]

This person, he's not someone you could find normally?

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

He's dead, for one. It's put an indefinite delay on our rematch.

[fastandloose]

...That'd do it. So you're gonna try goin' back before he died? Or some alternate universe or something?

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Yes.

...Which I realize is not a true answer to the question, but to be perfectly honest, everything involved in the matter involves so much "magic" items and "ancient spirits" and "alternate dimensions" and other unscientific nonsense that thinking about it too hard makes me want to give up on the whole thing in a fit of skeptical pique.

[fastandloose]

Yeah, can't help ya with that one. Sounds like this guy was important to you if you're even tryin' to figure it out, though. He was a rival?

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

More or less. More importantly, he's the only person who's been able to defeat me in a duel, and if he thinks going to the afterlife is enough to keep me from getting a rematch, he is mistaken.

[and then he sighs]

...I almost feel ashamed that statement just came out of my mouth. This place causes too many abnormalities.

[fastandloose]

Ha. Sounds like someone's a sore loser.

Though, I'm not great at it myself.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[joking, probably]

The problem is that once you've had a taste of winning, it's hard to settle for less. You're successful, I figured you would understand.

[fastandloose]

Yeah, I get it. My dead rival lost in the end, though, so I don't feel any need to find him again.

[she attempts to make that sound flippant but doesn't QUITE make it]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

That's probably for the best. It's not healthy to dwell on the past.

[that doesn't come out as lightly as he'd intended, either]

[fastandloose]

...Yeah, well. I'm generally good at not dwellin', myself.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Can't find anything wrong with that.

[fastandloose]

Not takin' your own advice, though?

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[grimaces]

Do as I say, not as I do?
