you don't know him well but you're going to let him monster mash in our apartment?

[lifetothefullest]

I wouldn't in any other situation, but I'm worried someone is going to think he's just one of the other monsters.

[And therefore defend themselves, and therefore he would end up dead permanently. Lance's conscience can't take that without at least trying to help.]

[evocation]

what if he starts losing it and attacks you?

[lifetothefullest]

[Great, a dilemma; tell her and possibly worry her, or not tell her and have her find out later and be mad?

The struggle.]

I don't think he's going to, but if he does, good news is I know what my power is and it works really well against him. Bad news is I already found that out the hard way, but I'm fine.

[evocation]

uh
okay
i won't ask how
but what is it?

[lifetothefullest]

[That went better than expected. But now he has to explain his power, which--]

It's kind of lame. It was just a really high pitched noise, which happened to work great on bat monsters, but...

[Otherwise it's kind of lame. It was so high that Lance could barely even hear it, so he doesn't think it'll work on anything that doesn't have enhanced hearing.]

[evocation]

like
a screech?

[lifetothefullest]

[Way to make it sound even worse than it was!!!]

Higher than that, like I could barely hear it. But yeah.

[evocation]

oh my god, lance

[lifetothefullest]

Whatever you're going to say, don't.

[evocation]

wow
do you really think i'd make fun of you?
you know they say powers are linked to your personality, right?
that would just be mean

[lifetothefullest]

Not only is it mean, it would also be a terrible idea when you're talking to a psychologist who knows what your power is.

[He can and will turn this back on you!!!]

[evocation]

is that a threat, dr. phil?

[lifetothefullest]

Wow.

You know, I can take being indirectly called so annoying I could deafen someone, but this is too much.

[evocation]

don't they both kind of mean the same thing?

[lifetothefullest]

No, one is just being annoying, the other is being annoying as well as a bunch of other stuff.

Also I have more degrees.

[Sure, by more he means one, BUT STILL.]

[evocation]

but he's more famous

[lifetothefullest]

He's like twice my age; he's had more time.

[And then suddenly something occurs to him--]

Wait, so your world has magic and monsters and other stuff like that, but you still have Dr. Phil? What kind of things is he talking about?

[evocation]

uh
i don't know
dramatic bullshit
diagnoses people with mental health issues
talks about uncontrollable teenagers
one time he interviewed someone who killed a dude to try to complete this bullshit ritual that didn't work

[lifetothefullest]

Oh, so pretty much the same sort of thing as in my world, except the ritual one was to try to prove Slenderman was real.

That didn't work either, for the record.

[evocation]

why didn't it work?

[lifetothefullest]

A whole list of reasons, but Slenderman not being real is a big one.

[And now he has to ask--]

Is Slenderman real in your world?

[evocation]

uh
sort of?
there are certain types of spirits that take on different forms
sometimes it's something like a popular urban legend, sometimes it's someone you know who died, whatever

[lifetothefullest]

I don't know if that's cool or horrifying.

[It's both, let's be real.]

[evocation]

oh, it's totally both
