I'm going to have to change my locks.

[appropriationly]

You're welcome to try. Want some cake?

[keepsthelol]

Isn't that my own cake anyway?!

[appropriationly]

Definitely yes.

[keepsthelol]

Did you cut into it? I was saving that!

[appropriationly]

I only had a little. And a sandwich, and some of your crackers. Why penguins?

[keepsthelol]

What about penguins? What?

[appropriationly]

Who wants to eat adorable animals? Penguins don't hurt anyone.

I need to talk to you about something.

[keepsthelol]

Talking to me is all you ever do here, and somehow I never understand any of it...

[appropriationly]

[Yet, it works for distracting you from the fact I ate so much of your food.]

I want to use your name for some paperwork.

[keepsthelol]

What- Why?!

[appropriationly]

I need a new place to stay, and I have a kid.

[keepsthelol]

... What happened? There's more you're not telling me.

[appropriationly]

Like what?
