This is another virus, isn't it?

I-I can't waste my time following a piece of red string! No matter how much I want to!

You got hit, Scrooge?

[That is totally not the sound of a popcorn bowl being put down in the background. It is not a slow day in camp, Kefka's not waiting for a response on his plan to put everyone in Doma to sleep from the person actually in charge, and Kefka's not raided his stash of Earth food to enjoy the show the comm is putting on. Yes. Completely.]

Looks like it.

I'm one of the lucky few who's missing it. Which is good, since I've got to check in with my counterpart here on the sleep shenanigans before I go through with them.

[Just dumping poison in the river would be easier at this point. FML. But he's changing the timeline! He must! He will!]

[madeitsquare]

Lucky indeed. This string is distracting, you know!

Find whoever it is and have them come to you! Offer a fabulous reward!

[madeitsquare]

... It's like you don't know who I am anymore.

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

...right, you don't do the giving people money thing.

[Facepalm forever.]

Sorry, Scrooge. I am on tenterhooks on this thing and it's throwing me off!

[madeitsquare]

I don't do it without a good reason, at least!

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

To stay rich, you have to keep the money! There's a wonderful simplicity to it!

[madeitsquare]

See, you're a quick learner.

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

I just have to remember that money is your most important thing! Right?

[madeitsquare]

... If you wanna keep it simple.

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

Why, what else is there? Or can you not say with Magica around?

[madeitsquare]

Aren't you happy knowing just the bare essentials?

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

Never! I want to know all the things!

[madeitsquare]

Well, that's too bad.

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

What'd I do that you're not telling me things?

[madeitsquare]

[... HE JUST DOESN'T WANT TO LOOK LIKE A SOFTY]

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

...Tell me. Come on! Please.

[He is this close to having a tantrum.]

[madeitsquare]

Oh, please, I don't see why you want to know.

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

Because I asked! Give me a better reason than because I don't feel like it! I want to know! Tell me!

[madeitsquare]

Can't we talk about this some other time?

[sandinmyboots.livejournal.com]

...fine.
