>KEEP LISTENING??

Okay, this thing only hears gibberish whatever I say, right? You guys are gonna know if it's catching onto us?


CO-QUEEN DOCTOR STAPHANIE CELIA

We'll monitor the parameters, don't worry; its sphere has calmed down a lot already.




WALLFLAP:

Haha, yeah, "boople doople." Guess you're not all complete morons, right? Congrats on your INcomplete mo-ron-ity!

Wow, I'm really doing this. I'm really so bored I'm going to talk to you on purpose.

Glad I'm this wasted, honestly. I'd give you some but this stuff would boil gels you didn't know you had.

Not that you know much of anything, mind you. Haha. I'm so lonely.

...Okay...I don't know about this...it's drunk or something. Should we get out of here?


QUEEN MAYA CELIA

Heck no! This is GOOD! Just nod or something!

WALLFLAP:

Haahhhah, aww, you almost look like you CAN grasp anything I'm actually saying. Hilarious. Really is better than venting to myself all spiral. Hang on........

[You can't tell what Wallflap does, but you feel the reality around you sort of "quiver" for a second.]

Ahhhhhhh, there we go, that's the stuff. Where was I?? My job. Right. Ugh.

UGH.

You think it would feel great, you know? "Monitoring Parameter Deterioration" they said. Watching conceptual barriers break down until I can endzyme a membrane or two and watch them fold in on each other. Watch them DIE. Oughta be invigorating, right? Oughta feel good. Really good. It did feel good.

Hang on again.........mmm.....okay....

BUt NO!!!! You know what you have to do to scrub concepts all day?? Perceive concepts all day. The number of different things I've had to be aware of now....even when they're gone it isn't satisfying anymore...it's too damn disgusting to know they were evEr tHeRE. To know more and more that I'm...I'm one of them. I'm a thing. A distinct and definite...THiNg. It's.....urk........you....you get it right?

SLOBFERN (Translated from Slobese)

Uhhhhhh. Boople doople?


WALLFLAP:

Ha. Haha. Heeheehee. Yeah. You don't. You can't. You ARE a moron. I'm a moron. I'm just willing to babble to another moron because it's better than babbling to floorboards. At least even that's better than those...things....those awful....hrk...can't STAND them...can't even get rid of them....hate it....hate it......

SLOBFERN (Translated from Slobese)

This is getting creepy. What is it talking about.


WALLFLAP:

BUT ANOTHER THING...it wouldn't be so bad if Drainflunk or the Sklepers were still doing their part...but they isntss even...is..wait....okay.....YOW! NICE ONE!....Okayy.....who again? Right, haha, those guys. Assblabs. That's what they are. Haven't even returning my waves anymore. Too good for old Flallwap?! Is that it??! I know they think I'm the dumb one. I know they think they feel sorry for me. You know something!? REALLY wanna know?! I feel sorry for THEM. PATHETIC. Their ideas are trash. You. You're their idea. Trash. And you're still better company.

They don't even care about the...the you know.......

What if.....mercy.......don't like it, don't like where I'm going with this...but....okay...WHAT IF.......what if it works, right? What if we do the thing, that thing we're doing, what if we put it all back together.... but....

Ohh, oh, no, don't let me say it. Come on. You're smart. You're my best friend. Make me stop.

SLOBFERN (Translated from Slobese)

...Guyys? Really really don't know what it's saying and I really really don't like it??


QUEEN MAYA CELIA

Uh, yeah, not liking these readings, but I'm not sure we can bail. That might be kinda not good. Kinda feel like this thing's ready to snap as it is. Just be cool.

WALLFLAP:

Okay okay okay okay, WOO, easy there, lemme slow down. Okay. What I'm getting at is, like...okay like.....what if that wasn't really it....what if there was more already? What if, hear me out here, what if we put everything back together, back in the old flesh....everything that was supposed to be together.........and....and they're..........still there...........

You become aware that those little "magboil" things have been crowding closer to you. You can hear them murmuring, but you can't make out any words.


WALLFLAP:

Ew. EW!!! NO!!! DIE ALREADY!!! COLLAPSE!!!! EW!!!! STOP IT!!!! STOP IT!!!!!!! SCRAM!!!!!

The "quivering" sensation returns, with a sort of bizarre "swelling" sensation. It's a feeling like you're on a little boat, and the ocean is rising. It feels like something horrible is about to happen.....
WALLFLAP:

.....Wait.....hwuh?? That's......oh, NOW they pick up, great. Super. Excellent layer for a business call.


.................Seeya.
