day 4.

[rulethegame]

[As you're walking down the streets today, you may find yourself suffering from a sudden onset of nausea, a major headache, and a burning sensation in your retinas.  You may even be temporarily struck blind as what has got to be the ugliest, most garishly hot pink couch in the history of existence passes through your line of sight.  When you

[Yuuka happens upon the boy on one of her walks. She stops dead, just staring at the couch. Of course, she's more than strong enough to carry it in one hand...but she's not gonna offer to help.]

My goodness, boy...what are you doing with such a horrid thing?

[rulethegame]

[He pats the couch smugly.]

Isn't it lovely? I got it half off - the store was just desperate to get rid of it. Can't imagine why, hee hee.

[convallariaceae]

Yes...I can't imagine why.

...you are actually going to put this in your house?

[rulethegame]

Where else would I put a couch? I guess I could stick it on the porch so everyone else would be able to admire it . . .

THE THING THAT WOULDN'T DIE: PART 2

[rulethegame]

From one of the stores downtown. They were practically trying to give it away. Lucky us, hmm?

[Trying to shove the couch into the house now ISN'T IT BEAUTIFUL]

only if he wants to be shot in the face. repeatedly.

[rulethegame]

Isn't it great? I was lucky enough to meet someone with the power of material transmutation. Cost me some more money, and the skulls are a bit much, but I figured it was worth it.

[HUFF PUFF HUFF PUFF this couch is really heavy, a little help would be nice. With enormous effort, Joshua manages to get in into the house. Now to just figure out where to put it . . . ]

[Oh my god.]

[1_21jigawatts]

[It's so cute.

just staring.]

[rulethegame]

[Pauses. He'd been expecting stares, but not exactly that kind.]

Is there a problem?

[1_21jigawatts]

Where did you get that?

[anguiscantus]

[Megumi is driving around when he spots the monstrosity. He breaks the car before the blinding pink causes him to crash and he just stares. It's like a trainwreck. It's awful, but he can't look away. It takes a few minutes to even realize that it's the Composer dragging it. So for now, he's just going to look like a creeper in a parked car.]

[rulethegame]

[Megumi, that is one BAMF car and Joshua would be jealous if he actually knew how to drive. As it is, he's not sure if the guy's still a drone or not, so he's just going to wave cheerfully. If Megumi's smart, he'll run away while he still can.]

[anguiscantus]

[He's so glad he's wearing suglasses right now. It's not as blinding. While Megumi is smart, he can't bring himself to just run away. He'd feel kind of bad leaving his Composer to drag an entire couch all the way home, as questionable as his tastes are.

Window open, he nods.] Good evening, Sir.

[rulethegame]

[Blinks, then smirks.]

Hee hee, you're back, then? Good - mind helping me get this back to my house?

[Yes, Megs, your Composer is asking you to touch the monstrosity that should not be. THIS IS THE ULTIMATE TEST OF YOUR DEVOTION.]

[deaths_heritor]

How absurd.

[rulethegame]

Hmm~? What is?

[deaths_heritor]

Everything about this situation, which seems designed simply for want of attention.

[rulethegame]

That's rather judgemental of you, isn't it~? Or are you saying there's something wrong with my couch? If you can think of an easier way to get it home, do let me know.
