The Bothering Meme

[vsyourface]

Here's a simple, old-fashioned, home-grown meme, with none o' them fancy RNGs or colourful fonts. You kids today and your mystery teas and your IC/OOC and your hula hoops and your PlayStation 3's... Where was I? Oh yes.

Simple rules are simple:

• Post your character with their name and canon in the subject line.
• Other characters will post to yours.

Guybrush Threepwood | Monkey Island

[sheepwood]

[Back in my day, we had to point-and-click to where we wanted to go- uphill, both ways. We didn't have any of this WASD garbage!]

[cutmylives]

There you aaaaaaare~

[And here comes Tomie, eyes bright and shining with her arms behind her back.]

I found you a present, Guybrush.

[sheepwood]

[This has to be the first time in his life he's ever not wanted a present. Or maybe he does want it and is just annoyed for an unrelated reason. Either way, he doesn't look terribly happy.]

You going to tell me what it is, or is this going to be one of those things where I have to guess?

[cutmylives]

Heeheehee!

[Aaaand she pulls whatever she'd been holding out from behind her back: a porcelain doll with bright yellow hair and dark black eyes. It has a hook for a hand.]

Isn't this adorable? It's like a little you!

[sheepwood]

[Oh, nice. It does kind of resemble him, though it looks a lot like a voodoo doll.]

Well, he does bear a striking resemblance with that hook to a certain Mighty PiiiORCELAIN!

[This is what he gets for speaking before actually examining things that are handed to him. Backing away now. Forever.]

Yeah. Just like me, but p-p-p- way more breakable than the real thing. Maybe you should take it back where you got it. You know, away from me.

[cutmylives]

No. [She walks closer, smiling brightly.] I like it. I want you to buy it for me.

[According to Facilier, a sucker is born every minute, and by the looks of it, the man with the pony tail and goatee looked just fitting for the part...]

[Putting on his charming smile, Facilier approaches the man and tips his hat to him.] Why hello there, good sir! You look like someone who could do with a special magical amulet or two!

[Facilier opens one side of his coat to reveal a variety of exotic-looking ornaments.] Well, I happen to be selling some wonderful talismans spellbound with traditional homemade voodoo and crafted from the most finest porcelain.... Very good quality, I assure you!

[He holds out one of the porcelain talismans for his "customer" to see.] Would you happen to be interested? I've got amulets with all sorts of spells, just name your desire and I'll have an enchantment for it! And just for you, I can give you a splendid deal, buy two and get half an amulet for half the price of two! Whaddya say, hmm?

[sheepwood]

[As enticing as voodoo usually is for the Mighty Pirate™, Guybrush nearly leaps out of his skin as Facilier opens his coat. Of all the terrible and lewd oddities a shady figure opening his coat to complete strangers could possibly produce, it had to be porcelain.]

Can my desire be for you to go away forever? [His eyes are never leaving you, you porcelain devils. He knows you're watching him.]

[doctor_voodoo]

[Boy, did that man ever jump there! He would have made a good rabbit if Facilier had his transmogrification spell right now...]

I don't have such enchantments for that, I'm 'fraid... [Barely repressing a quiet chuckle at the stranger's reaction, Facilier takes another step closer to his "client".] Why so jumpy? I'm politely offering you a splendid deal here! There's no need to be so rude! I guarantee you that these are effective and authentic porcelain talismans!

[Actually, Facilier knew that porcelain was a terrible material for channeling magic, and the very pieces he had for sale in his coat had originally been junky knickknacks with no magical use whatsoever. They may have been cheap and useless, but Facilier knew how to sell dirt for the price of gold...]

Don't tell me y'all afraid of a good bargain! C'mon now! How 'bout an amulet that'll ease your nerves there? [Facilier draws out another porcelain ornament, a little skull with eyes that looked right back at the porcelain-phobic pirate...] I can let you hold it as a

[perfectrecord]

Well. If it isn't the so-called "Mighty Pirate," Guybrush Threepwood.

Fabricated any ludicrous new prison break-out tales lately?

[sheepwood]

Well. If it isn't the so-called "Prosecutor," Manny von Karma.

I'll have you know I have no need to fabricate ludicrous tales of prison escapes. I lived them.
