Video || Boredom

[notjustinthemirror]

So a while ago I got a bunch of random shit that's just been in a box in the alleyway. But I am bored as fuck. So I made a damn bird.

[The camera turns to show:]



Do I get a prize now?

That's an interesting thing to give as a reward. At least it's something to stave off boredom for awhile! /o/ I helped clean and paint, and they gave me chocolate and a tennis racket. The latter would be great if there was a second racket and a ball to go with it, but maybe I'll luck out next time?

[notjustinthemirror]

Maybe I'll get glitter to go with my glue sticks and a replica of the cave as a lego set.

Was the chocolate poisoned?

[keep_smiling]

I haven't eaten it yet, I'm saving it. Do you think it would be? Seems silly to do that. If they're gods, couldn't they just smite me at any time they wanted?

[notjustinthemirror]

I haven't seen them smite anyone. They prefer to send monsters to do their dirty work. Maybe they don't want to get their hands dirty.

[keep_smiling]

I think they're just not powerful as they like to think they are. But that's okay. We'd all feel better and smile more if they'd just admit to it!

[notjustinthemirror]

Why would we feel better knowing they're incompetent?

[keep_smiling]

Then they wouldn't be lying to us and/or themselves. It would give us all more reason to trust each other. And that's a good feeling, right?

[notjustinthemirror]

I'm not trusting anyone just because the gods are morons.

That's not how that works.

[keep_smiling]

But it could be! I don't trust them yet either, but maybe if I can get them smiling, then I can. But I'll have to wait and see if I can make that happen first. /o/

[notjustinthemirror]

The fuck is with you and smiling?

[keep_smiling]

It's kinda my thing. But really, it should be everyone's thing. They're important! Especially so here, where things can get weird or scary fast. Keeping a smile on your face will help you get through it all. :D

[notjustinthemirror]

good thing my face is stuck like this then.

[keep_smiling]

It is? How come?

[notjustinthemirror]

because it doesn't move. it's a mask.

we haven't met have we?

[keep_smiling]

I don't believe we have! And you wear a mask all the time? 24/7? Reminds me of a friend from back home. But if it's a mask, then it's not a real smile, it's one painted on for you. It doesn't count!

[notjustinthemirror]

its welded to my skull, i don't have much of a choice in the matter.

[keep_smiling]

Welded?! (　〇□〇） That sounds unpleasant. Have you tried any way to remove it? I bet if it can be, someone here would know how.

[notjustinthemirror]

i haven't tried. mostly because i'd either die or not be able to see anymore. i think its my face.

there aren't a lot of masked demon anatomy books.

[keep_smiling]

Masked demon, huh? So you were born like that? In whatever way demons might be born? I've met a demon before, but I confess I don't know much about them.

[notjustinthemirror]

born. sure. why not?

in any case, it doesn't come off. Not unless my head comes with it and i'd prefer to avoid that.
