[ SOMEONE has been spamming the hell out of her new shiny slot machine she’d received for xmas. and it still hadn’t run out of tokens from all her jackpots yet... time to find a coin case, or at least see if any of the shops in Luceti would be interested in buying taking all these coins, she was filthy rich before but this is getting ridiculous.

carrying a duffel full of tokens is hard work, though, so if you’re anywhere out in the village, visitor or Luceti resident alike, expect to be stumbled into as she faceplants and gold coins go flying everywhere. ow!! ]

[ ladies don't fluster CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. ]

Well, if you're that certain, maybe you're right. I... suppose I'll give it a try.

[willpowered]

All right! Let's hear it, then!

[The Ultimate Comedian is awaiting your joke!]

1/??

[acuity]

Right. So, ahem...

[acuity]

[acuity]

... I... can't think of anything...

[willpowered]

[missy making a joke's a pretty good joke itself --]

Need a prompt?

[acuity]

[ I'M TRYING AND THEREFORE NO ONE SHOULD CRITICIZE ME. ]

That. That would be appreciated.

[willpowered]

[we're laughing with you not at you!]

Hmmm... How about... Time travel?

[acuity]

Right, time travel! Let's see...

[ THINKING HARD... AND STILL BLANKING x( ]

[willpowered]

[...he's going to be a good friend and set this one up for her.]

Time travel! It sounds pretty useful, right? Going back to the past, maybe even erasing your past mistakes... Making sure things turn out the way they're supposed to.

[...Making sure her two proper bodyguards don't get trapped in the Distortion World in the first place, aye, he'd do that --]

But messing with time can get pretty messy, I'd guess! What if one thing you changed ending up changing everything else?

[acuity]

H-how terrible! It would be a real pime taradox...

[ ladies don't mispronounce!... unless they're stuttering from sudden stage fright in front of trying not to let comedybuddy down. just staring, and then realizing what she'd said. ]

... I mean, that is!

[willpowered]

[you either run with it or keep on, pretending you don't notice the error!

and for missy's sake, he'll do the latter.]

A time paradox, right! You'd need a big mop to clean it up, wouldn't you?

[comedy is also about suspending belief do not give into your intelligent urges to remind pearl mops cannot actually clean up the time-space continuum]

[acuity]

Y-yes, a mop. Or I could ask Sebastian to clean it for me...

[ because clearly her butler can fix anything, including time paradoxes. and somehow this one-man show turned into manzai, FUNNY HOW THAT HAPPENED. ]

[willpowered]

[their entire arc was a manzai what did you expect]

Are we making the butler the butt of the joke?

[acuity]

[ weakly, trying to think fast 6_9 ]

If he, um, serves that role, I suppose so!

[willpowered]

[that was such a weak finish

but pearl's proved his point, in the end.]

You really don't have much of a funny bone, do you.

[acuity]

[ point to pearl FOR NOW. ]

F-fine, I may be more audience than performer. But I did try!

[willpowered]

I could try to teach you a few things.

[he guesses.]

[acuity]

You'd do that? I... I have room for improvement, don't I?

[willpowered]

If told you you'd never be able to perform, you'd probably end up getting all determined like you always do and going off to practice in secret... or get Dia to help you.

[And that is a disaster waiting to happen, seriously.]

So yeah, I'd help. Or try to.

[it's not because he likes u or anything....]
