Week 6

[. . . Well last week sure was a bloodbath. A bloody, accidental bloodbath. Even with two groups trying to save you, it might start to feel doubtful that you'll ever get out of here alive. Not to mention that Randy almost killed you all on an angry whim and you're still stuck in this madhouse with him of all people.

But hey, there's a silver lining to every cloud! You get a new floor that's not a nightmarish deathscape! Aren't you glad?

[SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY]


[Don't forget to fill in this week's AC!]
nachosquire: (yeah i dont think so)

....you know, that's more than I was expecting so I'll take it.

[Here he'll hop down even though being momentarily taller than Gaston felt triumphant somehow.]

But the idea is to stop killing each other here. No more trials, no more executions. Just peaceful protesting until we can come up with an actual solution.
athleticallyinclined: (well not that one)

Peaceful protesting?

[ Is that even. Is that even a thing. ]

Nothing was ever solved by peaceful protesting.
nachosquire: (mmhmmmmmm)

...........okay. Okay, you're from like a different dimension and all so I get it. I see why you'd think something incorrect like that.

[Don't be mad Marco he's working on improvement.]

But where I come from? Peaceful protesting has done a lot of good things! I mean we're still not a perfect society but we're learning to accept each other more no matter what gender, race, sexuality-- even Mewmans and Monsters are working on getting along through the power of peace and love!
athleticallyinclined: (It's hero time)

[ Be mad, Marco, he's not trying that hard.

Acceptance? Peace? Love? He shudders. ]


That sounds terrible.
nachosquire: (advice)

[personal profile] nachosquire 2018-02-12 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Hm. Maybe he should try Another Approach.]

Okay, think of it this way. You wanna be this big hero that everyone loves and worships, right?
athleticallyinclined: (I don't know what that means)

[personal profile] athleticallyinclined 2018-02-12 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ Now he just looks puzzled. ]

I already am!
nachosquire: (hes fine)

[personal profile] nachosquire 2018-02-12 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Of course. Of course he thinks that.]

Do you wanna be an even better hero that everyone loves and worships even more?
athleticallyinclined: (well not that one)

[personal profile] athleticallyinclined 2018-02-12 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, how he loves that sweet, sweet validation. He tilts his head, brow furrowed in thought. ]

Is that...even possible?
nachosquire: (frantic)

[personal profile] nachosquire 2018-02-12 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
It is. It definitely is.

[cause you know. no one loves or worships you right now]

But the thing is, you gotta think about the people you're trying to impress. Like.. you can't just try to he a hero to people you relate to, you have to be a hero to everyone!

[Oddly enough Marco has experience with this?? So he's speaking out of pure genuine....ness.]

This is being broadcast everywhere which means every kind of person you can think of is watching this right now. Watching you. And there might be a little monster kid out there thinking "Gosh, that Gaston guy is really cool! I wanna be just like him when I grow up!"

And then you know what? You say something like "all monsters are evil" or "I'll defeat all the monsters out there" and that kid starts to hate you. Maybe even himself because his biggest icon-- his hero can't accept that everyone deserves to be treated with respect, and love, and peace.
athleticallyinclined: (I don't know what that means)

[personal profile] athleticallyinclined 2018-02-12 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ This has something to do with that "being nice" thing Soos was talking about, doesn't it? Gaston's almost sure of that. He doesn't really know what "broadcast" means, but he straightens up a little when Marco tells him that everyone is watching him, all the same. ]

Hmm.

[ On the one hand, the idea that a monster child could ever grow up to be anything like Gaston is ridiculous. On the other, he does like the thought of everyone thinking of him as a hero. On the third...

He drops his voice so that no one watching them through this "broadcast" can hear. Just in case. ]


But aren't monsters supposed to be defeated?
nachosquire: (mmmmm dont like that)

[personal profile] nachosquire 2018-02-14 09:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Marco appreciates him whispering that so the poor monster kids everywhere can't hear-- though his expression looks exasperated as he whispers back.]

Only if they actually do something to deserve it. Like monsters beat someone up? Bad. Monsters just tryin' to live like everybody else? Not bad.
athleticallyinclined: (well not that one)

[personal profile] athleticallyinclined 2018-02-16 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
Monsters don't live like everyone else.

[ Seriously is he going to have to educate everyone here. ]

The live like monsters.
