Beat you, beat you, beat you all to pap

Like, wow!  I didn't know the 50s were like, so totally liberating.  I like, don't think I've ever seen so many people kissing and hugging in such a short period of time, except for like, maybe some stupid sappy romance movie.  I'm like, special super happy for you, Mr. Engarde; it's so cool to see a big celebrity like you associating with us

[A moment of surprise. Maya had completely looked over Mimi's first post. She also more or less ignored everything she just said.]

Y-You're here!?

[if_she_hollers]

Like, way to be on top of things.

[Selective ignorance is awesome, isn't it.]

You know, Matt Engarde said he wanted to try the "stay out of my way, I'll stay out of yours" thing back when I first got here, and that sure didn't turn out well.

[if_she_hollers]

. . . What are you talking about? Matt Engarde, the television star, has a history with you?

[spiritualburger]

You mean you didn't hear about his case?

[if_she_hollers]

Uh, no. Not if it came after mine, certainly not. Are you saying he's a murderer?

[spiritualburger]

... Technically, no. But he did hire some guy to kill Juan Corrida, and then the guy kidnapped me to make sure Nick got a Not Guilty for Matt.

[if_she_hollers]

. . . Wow. You don't live a very happy life, do you? Maybe you should stop hanging out with 'Nick'.

[spiritualburger]

Are you kidding? Crazy events like that aside, I love helping Nick! And even if I do get into a bad situation like that, he always pulls through for me!

[if_she_hollers]

. . . Doesn't your help mainly consist of calling your dead sister to help him in court? Well, I guess saving you is a pretty good motivator to win a case, too.

[spiritualburger]

She just gives him advice! He still figures out everything on his own.

[if_she_hollers]

Uh-huh. You're way too cheerful for someone who's been framed for murder and kidnapped. Shouldn't you have developed a psychosis or something?

[spiritualburger]

Y'know, sometimes I wonder why I haven't gone crazy. Between everything's that happened back home and all the stuff that's happened here...

[if_she_hollers]

And yet you're still smiling. I can tell. It's, like, hard to feel sorry for you when you're so cheerful about it.

. . . Wait, hold on. I'm supposed to be threatening you.

[spiritualburger]

Sitting around angsting about everything that's happened is kinda useless, don't you think? And I'm not really looking for people to feel sorry for me.

... Can we just skip over the threatening part?

[if_she_hollers]

. . . Well, I suppose. But you should at least try taking some kung fu or something; you protagonist types are always getting yourselves into trouble with your stupid optimism.

And no. It's important. Ah-hem.

You got that, you little brat? Screw this up for me and --

. . . . . . . . .

It's too late.

You totally ruined it.

Geez. I spent a long time working on that.
