[010] Cobra Commander versus a mongoose: Round One // Voice

[stopthat_destro]

[SUP GUYS. Have some hissy shouting, which is making him sound way too much like his animated counterpart]

HARPER!

[If only you could see him SHAKE HIS FIST AT YOU right now]

When I accepted your offer of the vermin you received from the Admiral, it wasn't an invitation to enter my room while I was out and set it loose in there! Are you

Well, I'm a pretty incredible engineer, but if you're not prepared to let me recalibrate your respirator then I don't know how much use that does us. Besides, If I'd stuck it in with your mice then it probably would have eaten them already!

1/3

[stopthat_destro]

I'm not putting my ability to breathe in your hands!

2/3 SULK.

[stopthat_destro]

...

3/3

[stopthat_destro]

Did it never occur to you to wait until I was there?

[deusexmechanic]

You could have been anywhere, what was I supposed to do, just hold on to him?

[stopthat_destro]

YES.

[deusexmechanic]

Well, there's no use crying over spilled milk.

It probably stole his hair, too :C

[stopthat_destro]

It devoured my notes!

Sorry Cobra Commander :C You look VERY FETCHING WITHOUT IT

[deusexmechanic]

What, did you think I was trying to get rid of it because it was super awesome to have two of them running around in my room full of delicate electronics equipment? Here, let me give you some free wisdom, for the Book of Harper. Volume six, page seventeen:

If you don't want your stuff to get eaten then don't let your warden load one of his mongooses off on you, sucker.

1/2 - WELL NOW HIS HEAD IS COLD, THANKS A LOT.

[stopthat_destro]

I knew that! But I made the foolish mistake of expecting you to at least keep it contained!

Now it's likely to chew through my ventilator when I'm asleep, and then I'll die!

2/2

[stopthat_destro]

...

[And now he realizes what a poor attempt at a guilt trip that was. Was he channelling his LATE MOTHER there? Probably. Hmm... He'll have to look into that one day. Perhaps therapy.]

Disregard that.

[deusexmechanic]

Just sleep with it under the blanket with you, you'll be fine.

[Brief pause.]

Wait, you want me to disregard the possibility of your mongoose killing you? Seriously?

[stopthat_destro]

I'm not going to get killed by a mongoose.

[deusexmechanic]

Probably not, but I'm still surprised that you don't want to force the possibility of it on me!

[stopthat_destro]

I'm pretty sure it wouldn't alter your behavior any.

[deusexmechanic]

Well, complaining about it in the first place didn't alter my behavior any, but you didn't let that stop you.
