Ugh! This awful--this noise--

--all day, everywhere--just hammering!

Midnight's...almost there, but--can't get rid of this--h-hammer--

I swear, if midnight doesn't...doesn't come fast enough, I'll--I'm going to hammer it! OUT OF MY HEAD!

[Rita's brain slug does not enjoy this attack, City! It's spazzing out and is seriously contemplating that hammer to the head. Though whether that last shout was really the slug or Rita herself, well...who knows? :)]

[ooc: And probably actually going to bed soon, so late replies.]

[ Tyr's slug hates this noise, too. Sorry, Rita, he's taking it out on you. ]

Don't be an idiot. You've put up with it for most of the day, so can wait a little while longer.

[blastiafreak]

[It's nothing Rita isn't used to, though she's usually the one taking it out on others. Slug's not so sympathetic.]

You stop being an idiot! It's because of that--all day--I've had enough already!

[stargathering]

And you think breaking your head open will make it better? If you want me to knock you out, I will.

[blastiafreak]

Just shut the hell up and go back to working! I'll do whatever I want!

[stargathering]

I should be saying that to you! You're the one who started whining!

[blastiafreak]

It's not whining, it's drowning out this stupid racket!

[stargathering]

No, you're just adding to it!

[blastiafreak]

Look who's talking!

[...This could go on a while.]

[stargathering]

--Just shut up before I knock your head in for the night!

[ Especially since brain slug is tapping into Tyr's childish side. /o\ ]

[blastiafreak]

You shut up! If you even come near me, I'm testing this hammer out on you first.

[Play nice, kids?]

[stargathering]

[ Exasperation! ] Try it out on yourself already! My staff would hit you first anyway.

[ Sob, hopefully. ]

[blastiafreak]

Not if I smack you around with a spell first.

[stargathering]

Save your casting for the mountain. I don't want to try out these spells now.

[blastiafreak]

Then save your lame complaints for working if the noise doesn't bother you.

[stargathering]

It does bother me, but at least I could keep my mouth shut about it.

[blastiafreak]

Yeah, you're really keeping your mouth shut with all that blabbing you're doing!

[stargathering]

I've kept quiet longer than you have.

[blastiafreak]

What the hell do you think this is, a contest? Just drop it!

[stargathering]

All right, just shut up...

[ IGNORES RITA FOREVER. ]

[blastiafreak]

Don't tell me to shut up!

[IF HE CAN.]

[stargathering]

[ If you ignore her, she'll go away, right? Tyr scoffs. IGNORING, IGNORING. ]

[blastiafreak]

You think you're just going to plug your ears and ignore everything now? That won't do you any good!

Argh, this stupid--it needs to go away before my whole brain gets fried!

[Angry slug is persistant! And loves to complain.]

[stargathering]

I'm not "ignoring everything" - I'm working, which is more productive than whining. What are you going to do? Complain enough so the curse will just stop?

[ Tyr-slug says read the keywords. ]

[blastiafreak]

Yeah, scraping away with your pathetic little shovel. I can see how much work you're getting done like that.

If I can annoy those idiot deities as much as they're irritating me with their poor excuse for music, then maybe it will stop!

[Rita-slug is his rebellious child.]

[stargathering]

[ Another scoff. ] The deities probably think your voice fits the chorus of this "music" perfectly, so the only one you're irritating is everyone in earshot...

[ No way, Tyr-slug that she's all Flynn-slug's! ]
