Now that you think about it, it’s been a while since you touched base with everyone’s favorite skeleton. Ly, you rascal, when’s the last time we talked shop?
“Hard ta’ say,” Your bones reply as they ponder your question, “We’ve had our foot on da’ gas pedal for a while now, huh?”
The aches all over your body say all you need to say. Yep.
“It <span class="mu-i">has</span> been a while, though!” Replies your skeleton as if he were some old classmate at a High School Reunion. “Granted, I see an’ hear pretty much everything <span class="mu-i">you</span> do, so it ain’t like I’m outta’ da’ loop, but…” His voice trails off as he struggles to arrive at a point. “Errr, yea. Been some time, kiddo.”
Well, you segue, getting comfier under the covers, how, uh, how is he doing? How are things?
“To be honest, cupcake,” Ly sighs, clearly not about to say something along the lines of ‘<span class="mu-i">peachy</span>’, “I’m kinda… well, <span class="mu-i">worried.</span> An’ before ya’ say anything, I mean <span class="mu-i">more</span> worried den’ usual!”
D’oh! You were just about to make a joke! Grinding your teeth in frustration, you tug a bit more on the string dangling in front of you–why’s he more worried, then, huh?
“Well call me paranoid,” Your bones begin,
Okay. <span class="mu-i">Paranoid</span>.
“Shaddap. I’m just… I’m a little worried about our pal <span class="mu-r">TIM</span>.” He explains in a hushed tone. Why the <span class="mu-i">HELL</span> would he be worried about <span class="mu-i">that</span> jackass?!
“Not in a <span class="mu-i">concerned</span> way!” Ly counters, “I’m talkin’ about how little we’ve heard from da’ guy, y’know? Gives me da’ creeps!”
Well gee, Ly, you groan, rolling your tired eyes for emphasis, you’ll be sure to swap digits the next time you run into him if it makes you feel better!
“Oh look: she’s bein’ <span class="mu-i">prickly</span>. <span class="mu-s">Again.</span>”
What did he expect?
>CONTD.
