Adventure 29 | [Video]

[italktofish]

[So the video feed opens, and unsurprisingly, it's Arthur in front of a tank of fish. He looks unusually serious.]

So, guys, I kind of got to thinking...SERIOUSLY thinking...

[Wait, what? Arthur's been thinking?]

And you know, there are some things in life, you just take for GRANTED! But then one day, your bus gets stuck in traffic, and you've just got to WONDER! Thinking kind of hard on things you've just accepted for YEARS! I mean, stuff I've just gone with ALL MY LIFE! And, well...

[There's a long, dramatic pause before he continues.]

How much luggage could you REALLY bring on a THREE HOUR TOUR, anyway?

[mimicery]

Now you're being rude! Rude, rude, rude! Why won't you listen and stop already?!

Voice

[italktofish]

You know, you're TOO YOUNG to get all worked up and GRUMPY like that!

[So he guesses from the sound of the voice.]

Voice

[mimicery]

And you think I care? How wonderful of you to be so observant like that!

[Wait for it...!]

Voice

[italktofish]

Hey, I'm OUTRAGEOUSLY observant!

[And immune to kids throwing fits; comes with the school bus driver territory.]

Voice

[mimicery]

And guess what?

It's your fault that your stupid observant thing made me get another stupid echo!

Voice

[italktofish]

What sort of Echo might THAT be?

Voice

[mimicery]

That's none of your business! You figure it out!

Voice

[italktofish]

Hey, you brought it up in the FIRST PLACE!

Voice

[mimicery]

[Mumble]

Fine. Does the word superhero mean anything to you?

Voice

[italktofish]

I'LL SAY IT DOES! I'M A SUPERHERO!

Voice

[mimicery]

....

Yeah, I meant an actual superhero in your past life. Not one right now!

[If you only knew, Katie...]

Voice

[italktofish]

But I AM one now! I have the UNIFORM and the POWERS and EVERYTHING!

And a JETPACK!

Voice

[mimicery]

[Wait for it.....!]








Please tell me you're joking. Don't tell me that I came from the same world as you?!

Voice

[italktofish]

Of course I'm not joking! I'm OUTRAGEOUSLY SERIOUS!

Voice

[mimicery]

Ugh, I can't believe this! First echoes and now I'm stuck in the same world as you?!

What next? Flying monkeys?!

Voice

[italktofish]

Hey, flying monkeys would be OUTRAGEOUS! They could fight crime alongside ME AND MY FINNY FRIENDS!

Voice

[mimicery]

...

Okay, I give up. I'm just done. I can't compete with you.

Go and have fun with your little flying monkey friends, I'll be over here just ...giving up.

Voice

[italktofish]

Hey, now, don't do that! You can't give up, chum!

[Careful, he might get heroically rousing again...]

Voice

[mimicery]

Don't call me that! I just...ahhhh! I never wanted this to begin with and now I'm getting memories that I don't want!

This just sucks!

[She could probably use it right now!]

Voice

[italktofish]

Chin up! You know what you need?

[Surprise! It's the Rousing Song of Heroism again.]

Voice

[mimicery]

Ahhhh, just shut up and go away already!

[With that she closed the feed. The last thing she wanted was to remember any more echoes from her past life. Whatever was going on, all she knew was that it had superheroes in it.

How ironic that she was forced to play a superhero when she didn't want to in the first place]
