And there Li is, just walking down the street, when one of those darned teleprompters shows up!

Huh? *very obviously reading aloud* "At last, my big opportunity. With Tsume and Heiwa gone, nobody stands in my way! I will make Matsu mine, and he will know my true feelings at last."

...

The prompter flies away.

[La dee da dee da. Now recovered from his big angst phase and the smaller angst phase from Heiwa and Tsume leaving. He happened to pass by Li.

And her line.

And:]

What.

[xinshanquangal]

Gaaaaaah! I'm tellin' ya, it's not like that at all! It's just some stupid bullshit the teleprompter had me say!

Another one flies down as she's flailing.

"I don't even like you that much anyway, you big dumm --" STOP THAT ALREADY!

[getshive]

...What's going on?

[Teleprompter appears!]

"I thought we're an item tog-" WE'RE NOT EVEN DATING YOU STUPID THING.

[xinshanquangal]

I don't know, some stupid ratings gimmick, apparently.

Another one!

"And anyway, I guess we can be a couple, but it's not like it's because I like you or anythi --" Who th' hell talks like this?

[glompwitch]

... I wonder how long until one of these flies by me and decides to pull the kind of lines that would humiliate Lady Myey.

[xinshanquangal]

That was such fuckin' bullshit! Do people actually think that shit about Matsu 'n me?!

[glompwitch]

They... Hold on a second.

"You totally realize that Matsu's going to be mine before the month's out, right?"

...

*Facepalm.*

[xinshanquangal]

...what the shit is this. They ain't seriously makin' you...

"Yeah right, bitch! I saw him first!"

WHO WRITES THIS CRAP.

[temptestonaboat]

...That sounds like a terrible soap opera.

[xinshanquangal]

Pfft. Tell me about it. And who just says that shit out in the middle of nowhere? Goooood. I don't even FEEL that way about Matsu!

[temptestonaboat]

It's such a ridiculous thing. The entire genre is stupid, tired, and retreads it's cliches, only bored housewives like this sort of thing.

[xinshanquangal]

Yeah, well, bored housewives pay fer my dim sum not to be filled with artificial fillers, so I don't see how much of a choice we got right now.

[winandlive]

...Li need man?

[xinshanquangal]

What? No no no! It's just what th' goddamn teleprompter told me to say! I don't need nobody!

[winandlive]

Li... want man?

[xinshanquangal]

Wh-what kind of a question is that?! Why would I want a man?! Don't be ridiculous!

[l_l_loooooooove]

[SO GUESS WHO DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OF THESE TELEPROMPTERS, EITHER. Right now, he's just looking at Li with this expression of dawning surprise on his face.]

... love!?

[xinshanquangal]

N-nononono! Not Love! That stupid thing flying around made me say it! Gah! It's not love!

[l_l_loooooooove]

[Pogo can understand quite a bit for a caveman, but "made me say it" is something he still can't really wrap his mind around.]

Uuuh... uh? [Another teleprompter flies down to hover behind Pogo, but he doesn't pay any attention to it.]

[xinshanquangal]

That thing! It had some sorta stupid line it wanted me to say! Why the hell would they want me to say that in th' middle of the street anyway!?
