005 ☓ voice

[envy_the_sinners]

[The voice that comes over the feed is sounding even more surly than usual, today...]

I am looking for a remedy for skuntank spray. Anything potentially helpful would be appreciated. Simple washing does not seem to be working.

[See, children? The ill effects of not forwarding that chain letter. Tsk tsk.

...Are those bees buzzing in the background?]

[envy_the_sinners]

The what?

[It takes him a moment...]

Of course I didn't.

[fourwayconnection]

You are going to be in for SUCH a shitty day. Hope you can outrun bees.

Anyway, tomato juice.

[envy_the_sinners]

...You mean bathing in tomato juice?

And there are no bees.

[Yes there are, they just aren't bothering you.

Yet.]

[fourwayconnection]

Uh huh, of course there aren't.

[He doesn't believe you, man.]

And yeah, bathing in tomato juice. It sucks, but that's what you get for not forwarding the chain letter.

[envy_the_sinners]

How am I supposed to get that much tomato juice?

[Wait but-]

This has nothing to do with ignoring that foolish chain letter!

[fourwayconnection]

Go to a dollar store.

...Or a P-store, whatever the equivalent here is.

And listen, you didn't send the letter, you immediately get sprayed by a Skuntank. Coincidences like that don't happen in the real world!

[envy_the_sinners]

You would seriously consider that a chain letter has that kind of power before you would call it a coincidence?

[There's an obvious scoffing in Scar's tone.]

I will go look, then.

[fourwayconnection]

Yep.

I'm gonna be the one laughing when those Beedrill attack.

[envy_the_sinners]

They are not-

[And cue the buzzing. A lot of buzzing. Sweet Trisha, Mother of the Elrics-

Scar's voice vanishes from the feed for a few minutes, save for the occasional grunt and the heavy breathing from sprinting. Or, rather, from being chased by a horde of Beedrill.]

1/2

[fourwayconnection]

[He fuckin' called it.]

[If there's any a time to act the adult and be solemn, it is surely at a time when a poor soul is being chased by a horde of-]

[fourwayconnection]

[HA HA okay yeah hell no, Kirikou is laughing his ass off, sorry Scar.]

[envy_the_sinners]

[Shut your face, brat, don't you have makeup tutorials to be watching or something?]

What the hell...

[Still breathing heavily, Scar's ducked into a cave and finally lost them. Still not saying anything to the young man. His pride is very much wounded.]

[fourwayconnection]

[Hey, maybe if you watched more makeup tutorials, you'd be better friends, just sayin']

Still going to say it's a coincidence?

[He manages to choke it out between his laughter.]

[envy_the_sinners]

[Your input is not appreciated.]

There is no other explanation.

[Mr. Smiley over here sounds pretty damn agitated, though. Stop laughing at him, kid.

[fourwayconnection]

[He's trying, but it's too good being right.]

Oh, there is, you just don't want to admit it.

[envy_the_sinners]

And you are deluding yourself.

[fourwayconnection]

I'm not the one who got sprayed by a skuntank and chased by beedrill.

[envy_the_sinners]

Then congratulations for your superior luck.

[fourwayconnection]

Have you ever thought that maybe you're too narrow minded?

[envy_the_sinners]

There is a great difference between narrow minded and outright foolish.

[fourwayconnection]

So what would prove to you that this isn't just a really unbelievably specific circumstance?

[envy_the_sinners]

Why does it matter? I'm not going to be convinced that some message put a spell over me that caused me to be sprayed by a skunk. It's all nonsense.

[soundmind]

Kirikou!

[Whoa what's that, it sounds like someone in the background.

Maka was listening and then came to the realization that she recognized the voice of the man that she helped during the storm.

Naturally, she's going to intervene when her friend is being a jerk.]

Don't harass Mr. Scar! I've told you repeatedly that those chain letters are a load of garbage, I didn't forward any and nothing bad happened to me.

[fourwayconnection]

[Oh shit]

[Goddammit Scar look what you've done]

Hey, first of all, I gave him helpful advice. Second of all, this is way too specific to be a coincidence.

[soundmind]

Doesn't sound like it to me, it sounds like you're being a jerk to him just because he's having a bad day.
