Watch where you are stepping today, folks, because scuttling around on the ground is a beetle. Not just any beetle, no. A two foot long Time Beetle. One who, thanks to the wonders of Nexus translating ability, now can converse with things that aren't bugs.

"So anyone here ever get hired then realize your boss expected you to do something that ( Read more... )

Wow, what a cool-looking bug. Oh wait, that's bug as in person. Aheh.

"Um, yeah, actually, I get that a lot. Someone asks me to get a "ghost" out of their house, and I end up either facing down a demon or helping a teenage telekinetic get some control."

right_ftw January 24 2009, 04:25:19 UTC

"Yeah, I can see how that would cause a problem," the Beetle says.

danica_grey January 24 2009, 04:28:20 UTC

"Yeah. I think I need to network with some exorcists or something. Ghosts, I can deal with. Most of them are just lost or have unfinished business. But demons just want to hurt and scare. It's like they literally feed on people's misery.

"Hey, want some of my apple?"

right_ftw January 24 2009, 04:38:36 UTC

He perks up a bit at the mention of the apple, his little feelers waggling ever so excitedly. "I love apples!"

Holy.

Crap.

Shilo stares at the insect from her perch on the nearest couch armrest. She stares for a good minute or so before rushing to dig her reference book out from her bag. She's never seen a beetle like it!

If he had eyebrows he would raise one at her. "What? You're not expecting me to turn into a pony because you've always wanted one, are you? Because I ain't no pony, if that's what you're after."

sweeterthan16 January 24 2009, 04:45:39 UTC

"You're talking!" she exclaims, shutting the book. From the looks of it, this guy wasn't listed. He was special.

"And I hate ponies." Moody glare.

right_ftw January 24 2009, 04:51:37 UTC

"No, you're just hearing voices, Captain Obvious." He's PMSing, it would seem.

"And you probably only hate ponies because your daddywaddy never got you one for chwistmas. It's not nice to hold grudges, you know."

"Yes." Yeah - Jonas would prefer not to elaborate, but he's talking about how messy insane people are. Especially when they get it into their heads that they're not insane and try to kill themselves and it just gets bloody. And then they expect him to clean up? Yeah no. That's what nurses are for.

right_ftw January 24 2009, 04:45:31 UTC

"Sucks, don't it?" He is quite the eloquent bug.

haveasweetie January 24 2009, 04:48:04 UTC

Jonas quirks an eyebrow. Your modern slang: he is not acquainted with it. But he gets the gist of it, at least. "Yes, I suppose it does...?"

It's only now that he realizes that yeah - he's talking to a bug.

right_ftw January 24 2009, 04:53:12 UTC

"Yeah, I went to work as a temp secretary for this weird lady once, and she ended up sending me on this multiple year long business trip to another planet. I was not a happy camper."

"...Wot."

right_ftw January 24 2009, 05:08:11 UTC

"Donna! Donna, sweetheart, it's me!" Then, more seriously, "So why exactly do you think you get to keep the couch?"

aintbothered January 24 2009, 05:08:55 UTC

"Ugh GOD! You're talkin'! You're a talkin' bug! Get away!"

Donna attempts to shoo the Time Beetle away with her hands, keeping a safe distance, of course.

right_ftw January 24 2009, 05:09:58 UTC

"Donna, baby, sweetie, why you gotta be hatin'? I know we ended on something of a rough note and all, but after all we went through? And you're just going to act like this?"

Then, "But no seriously. I want the couch."

Forgive Twelve over here, pretty much laughing his ass off. He may or may not be a little drunk and yeah. A chatty giant timebeetle is just what he needs. Really.

Finally, he manages to say, "Oh yeah. All the time."

right_ftw January 24 2009, 05:19:43 UTC

"What's funny? Did I miss a joke someone told?" He likes jokes. Well, good ones, anyway.

"But yeah, doesn't it suck?"

duo_denary January 24 2009, 05:23:28 UTC

"You're hilarious." Twelve points a slightly wobbly finger at Teebey, just in case the 'you're' part of that sentence was missed.

"More than you know."

right_ftw January 24 2009, 05:26:04 UTC

"Me? But I haven't even broken out my stand up yet." By 'stand up' he of course means quoting from comedians he and his ex use to watch on the telly back on Earth, but there's a good chance this person hasn't heard them, so he can pass them off as his own. Ohhh yes, he will be famous whenever he gets back home!
