Transcript
WELCOME LADIES, GENTLEMEN, AND OTHERS, TO THE FIRST EPISODE (FOR HERE AND NOW) OF "STOP RECORDING WHAT I SAY, OBOONEXRE I DON'T APPRECIATE IT!"
Your loving cast of ill-intent:
Your Gamemaster: Oboonexre
Your Great Ape: Zehhurozzm
---
Zeh: Return it to me. At once, Gameshow.
Oboon: Return...? What exactly?
Zeh: The Staff of Solomon. I know you took it from my collection.
Oboon: Did I personally take it? No. That would be rude. Also, do you mind if I record this for the folks back home?
Zeh: What? Gah, I hate dealing with you most of all, you know that, right?
Oboon: Lot’s of people say that. I don’t think they mean it, though. I and I will take your exasperated grunt as a yes. Though I will note it was not an enthusiastic yes.
Zeh: I don’t have time for your delusions, Oboonexre. I demand my prize back.
Oboon: Funny you use the word prize, actually. Well, not funny haha more funny in a cosmic sense. Though I don’t think you’d like the setup to that joke.
Zeh: Do I need to rip it from your gaudy suit?
Oboon: Easy, Zeh, I don’t have it on me. I never keep prizes on me. I always give them to a third party for safekeeping.
Zeh: So you admit you stole it from me? Oboon: Again, I did not take it from you. I did use it as a prize, though, for my current game. I find it’s better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.
Zeh: That is completely idiotic.
Oboon: Maybe, though it does tend to yield quicker results.
Zeh: Take me to your “third party.” Now, Gameshow.
Oboon: Hm. I will, on one condition, Ape. You let me record it. And use it for my pilot. Well, it’s more like a reboot- or a, well maybe a spinoff actua-
Zeh: Fine. What do I care? Now take me to MY prize.
Oboon: Alright, alright. Though fair warning, if someone were to win the game, it would go to them. And then, well, neither of us can get it.
Zeh: So you will hurry, or you will suffer.
Oboon: Alright, alright. Pushy.
