I suddenly feel as if an evil, Joe Quesada-esque force has suddenly swept through the world.

The former Editor in Chief, I believe, for Marvel Comics. During 2007, in order to fix flagging sales for Spider-Man comics due to well, comics have always had mediocre sales in recent years, he ended the marriage between Spider-Man and his wife, a marriage that had been going on for well over a decade, I think...

Uh, basically he had Spider-Man make a deal with Marvel's version of Satan by negating his marriage to save his aunt from Cancer, which had the results of reviving a few villains and supporting casts who died, and negating Spider-Man's public reveal to the entire world that he was Peter Parker during the "Civil War" event.

While the reboot helped strengthen sales and increase reader interest, there are many who think that the entire Satan deal arc, "One More Day", was a pretty retarded move on Quesada's part and was a pretty stupid way of doing it, and aborted a really possibly interesting aftermath of Spider-Man dealing with the public knowing who he was.

And this was on top of a series of other bizarre moves that pretty much were "Break Up Marriages for some reason".

As to why I know this? Blame Saiga.

...Ah.

I guess I can sort of see how it's relevant, I guess.

Fortunately I doubt I need to worry about that sort of thing happening for me.

...I keep forgetting that Saiga is back.

How do you forget that?

And. More or less. I'd say be careful of Shiyoko, though.

Also, which sounds better: Banana Ice Cream or Vanilla Ice Cream?

I don't ever see her is why.

...I am, but I have to trust her. If I don't, I imagine things might fall apart.

...Vanilla, I guess. Why?

Stalk her, then.

I didn't say she was untrustworthy. I'm just saying she's the likely sort to get nailed by something retarded.

Crates worth of tubs of vanilla ice cream then, thanks.

...why would I stalk her?

Oh. Well, yeah. I do check on her from time to time, make sure she's alright.

...for what?

Why not. I stalk her.

You're a terrific husband, you know that?

Emotional pain. Lots and lots of emotional pain.

...That's somewhat worrying, Noriko.

...you think so? Thanks. I wonder about that sometimes, though...

...what?

Why?

You're better than Onni or Jinn.

I need to eat to blow off some stress.

Stalking is usually a bad thing. Not terrible, granted, but tends to be a prelude to some of the terrible things, and thus bad.

...that's not exactly a high bar there.

...sounds extremely unhealthy. ...better to eat than 'eat', though, I suppose.

And I'm me! I don't do terrible things.

Well, I suppose, but of all the men I know, you're a saint compared to Onni 1 and Onni 2.

I bought crates of chocolate, vanilla ice cream, and cheesecake. And I am going to gorge.

...well, not terrible, but you do some very questionable things.

Thanks, but, again, that's a really low bar to jump over.

... Okay, that's kind of melodramatic.

Like what..!

You're better than Adam, Sekuta or half a dozen apes I can mention.

I have every right to be melodramatic.

...I'd say 'like stalking', but that's rather circular, isn't it? You know my feelings on messing with people's minds... and on some of your business ventures... there's probably some others but after those three nothing comes to mind.

I'd have to disagree with Sekuta. He's very much the saint with his relationship. I have no idea how he puts up with the things he does.

I don't see it.

Stalking a friend is just being affectionate! I need to eat, as I feed off of psychic energy, unless you're willing to provide me food. And I am nothing if not a legal business woman.

He's not married.

I'm me! That's what gives me the right, oh god I'm ugly and fat and hideous.

pureplainpatron February 5 2012, 05:01:36 UTC
Most people would find it 'creepy', rather than affectionate. Pretty sure I'd give you heartburn... and 'legal' does not mean moral, ethical, or tasteful.

...well, technically I'd win by default, but only because he wasn't participating.

...why are you torturing yourself?
