no need to worry. i will intervene. part of me may be left behind, but that is simply the price to pay.

i have my ways. i will access your computer.

let me take care of it twin

as a child should be. good to hear all is well.

that reminds....i wonder how the little one has been doing

today i scared a child in the park and made them drop their ice cream. and laughed about it

my lips will stay sealed

best of luck taking me of all people on, solo no less. i think the only person youd have worse luck with is one

i almost said something else but the child is listening i need to keep things parental guidance thirteen

see i couldnt call you that back then because you were a twinky little mcdonalds napkin flying out the window of the cars we used to steal and joyride. now i get to have some real fun

my five dollar biggie bag babygirl supreme

sorry wouls you prefer my ookum snookum babyboo instead? or perhaps even my chocolate-dipped strawberry of desire?

so? am i not allowed to dig up ancient treasure and breathe new life into it?

wheres my captain chubbybear...i miss him so

your mother? ice cream lady? you look like a big scoop of blue raspberry yourself

ah...in your emptiness, i find familiarity. my power sources tend to dwindle over time, and after the recent destruction of one of our most sacred temples, they've been feeling yet more drained. hopefully things will turn back in our favor soon.

well. the concept of nothingness is our specialty, is it not?

i've seen many, friend. i tend to peer into their lives from the void...some are further from our truth than others, but all are interesting.

there appears to be another...i must inform aspx. we will prepare festivities.

reminder to my followers that i have eyes everywhere

oooh get his ass

do you guys like my floating peach tartlet

six sevennn six eighttt ... seven zerooo

six oneee

it's the ice cream genes i'm sure

it was one time. i've been helping pull his strings for longer than he's been aware, though i never quite cared to remember his name

tell who?

honestly you just have that vibe about you

youre so cheese roll up coded

i honestly thought you wouldn't notice

tried to bum a paycheck from the poor sods at that overworked pizza place but then double time started and i got swept up in actually working. fuck

i see. anything to keep that ironclad grip on your army held strong must be worth the effort. let's just hope it pays off.

so...just four, then? or have any of your other creations defected as well?

...yeah, nothing. *swirling the smoothie in its glass...leaving certain things unsaid. he didn't seem like one to take well to warnings, so it would just leave it be and keep an eye on how things went.* five in the army...including or not including the one who defected?

i see. cruelty for the sake of it...just for fun, i presume. i'm no stranger to that kind of fun myself. this is unrelated, but how large even is that army of yours? you're awfully boastful, i trust you have the manpower to back those claims up.

you have a funny definition of fanfare. i don't imagine you have your troops spouting insults at you like this...aside from that one. but they seem to be a special case.

even more impressive...not even a common pig would go that far. you're truly vile.

hmm...you sure showed that perfectly innocent pie who was boss by sticking your foot in it as you ate it. that takes an iron gut.

gladly!! go on, go on.

i'd be able to hear you from outside the diner and across the street. i could go eavesdrop from there if you'd like

if hes anything like mine was, the design flaw was completely unintentional and he's trying to cover it up with grandeur. not an uncommon occurrence

you do realize you're arguing very loudly in a public space. anyone could overhear

dinner and a show 👀

what a funny coincidence. it healed in just a day? don't mouth injuries typically take longer than that? ...ah, but you couldn't have possibly missed out on the cake. so maybe your body sped things up.

as much as i love hearing my followers recite prayer for our ritual sacrifices, the child's voice is always a nice break from it all. she breaks up the monotony just enough to keep things fresh.

just fine, young one. how have you been?

There's people licking each other! I'm leaving California!

now give me your arm.
