4th Gumball - Phone/Action

[connedviakeyboard]

[Well, someone isn't happy now that he's back to normal and away from the effects mint has on him. To say he was embarrassed would be putting it lightly; Benson was out and out ashamed. And he dealt with shame the way he dealt with everything else: by being angry as hell and trying to bottle it up.

Either way? He owed some apologies to people.]

[Phone]

...Look. I know that there were a few people I might've been...uncouth towards, a few days ago. Okay. I guess that's putting it lightly. I was acting like an asshole. And I'm sorry. That's not what I'm usually like. It really, really isn't, and I don't know what came over me. It won't happen again.

[Phone - Filtered to Mordecai]

Yeah, hi.

Let's pretend Valentine's Day didn't happen, alright?

[Action - Outside 507 Ricardo Street]

[If you're going by Ricardo Street today, feel free to notice the man who lives at 507 removing every single potted plant he could find in the house, hell, everything that could conceivably be called vegetable matter, and placing it on the sidewalk. Watch in amazement as he takes out a lighter and proceeds to try and get the plants to catch flame, running back a bit when the fire actually gets started.

He's just going to wait, and watch, as every plant that had previously been in his house burns.]

[Hey, neighbor. Shadow's going to pass by and watch that shit burn, too.]

Tch. You've got the right idea.

[Action]

[connedviakeyboard]

Yeah, if only I'd done it sooner.

[He isn't satisfied, but it's something.]

[thegoddamnhedgehog]

Had you done it sooner, there's a chance that whatever was in those flowers would have spread much faster. ...Not that it matters, anyway. There were more than enough of them scattered around town.

[connedviakeyboard]

I don't get it. What was even the point of this one? To have us all make asses out of ourselves?

[thegoddamnhedgehog]

Assuming they had nothing better for us to do, I suppose. [A beat.] ...You're sounding more like yourself.

[Phone]

[mal_addict]

And may we all learn the lesson about smelling plants that suddenly appear in our homes.

Action: 507 Ricardo

[infourbooks]

[The sight of burning foliage isn't exactly a welcome one for Neville]

Th-that's a bit extreme, don't you think?

[action]

[likes2havesex]

[Panty is walking down the street right as Benson is lighting those suckers up]

Oh, fun, can I play?

[connedviakeyboard]

Yeah, funny what not being mind-controlled by plants can do for you.

Didn't seem like they got you though.

[Phone]

[connedviakeyboard]

Well it's not like I just went up to them and started sniffing them. It was...kind of overpowering.

Which isn't really an excuse. Sorry.

[connedviakeyboard]

No.

[He narrows his brow a bit. That was a pretty simple answer, wasn't it Neville?]

[action]

[connedviakeyboard]

Sure, long as you're burning your own crap.

[He's somewhat hesitant to encourage anyone to really set anything on fire.]

[thegoddamnhedgehog]

...I'd rather not talk about it.

[Which is basically Shadow-speak for "Yeah, they did."]

What are your plans now? Apart from this incineration of yours.

[connedviakeyboard]

There's a bar here, right?

[thegoddamnhedgehog]

I believe so. You intend to drown your sorrows in alcohol, then?

[connedviakeyboard]

Y'know, I'm not drowning myself. I just want a drink. That's it.

[thegoddamnhedgehog]

And you think that will help?

[connedviakeyboard]

God, what is the problem here? All I want is to have a drink! What's the matter with that?

[thegoddamnhedgehog]

[To be honest, Shadow's never really tried alcohol before. Never really saw the point or the appeal of it. But here? Now? He's starting to consider it.]

...Nothing. If you have no objections, I think I might join you.

Re: [action]

[likes2havesex]

Tch, if I wanted to burn my shit I would have already done it.

[connedviakeyboard]

[Oh. Well he thought you were going to chew him out or something.]

Uh. Sure. I don't mind, if you want to.

[action]

[connedviakeyboard]

Okay, then I guess you can't play. This is all I want to burn, so I'm done.

[thegoddamnhedgehog]

Thanks. [A curt nod.] Shall we be going?

[connedviakeyboard]

Sure, I guess.

You want me to drive?

[likes2havesex]

I don't really care what you want asshole.

[uh oh, you pissed her off and now she's storming towards YOUR house to go find something to throw onto the fire.]
