[Hey, as long as he's not just sitting there being lazy, Impmon will consider that adequate. It's the principle of the thing.]

Yeah, yeah, lookit these stubby little arms, you don't see me complaining!

[And to demonstrate his point, he quickly begins hauling more wood than his tiny figure probably ought to be carrying. Look how productive he is! No whining or griping from him!

...Okay, he spent most of the time since he got here complaining vehemently about that very thing, but he's not complaining right now, and that gives him the moral high ground! Right? Right!]

[friendlyflower]

At least you've got arms. I get the point, so calm down, overachiever. The guild leaders aren't gonna give you a bonus. [He tosses a twig into the cart. They aren't even really paid, per se, besides the privilege of food and housing. Then again, this society doesn't really use money to begin with.]

So what's your story, new guy? Got warped in after winning a popularity contest?

Sorry I've been so slow on this thread, this month has been a mess.

[ba_boom]

Hah, very funny.

[If it helps, he's really not any more fond of himself than most other people are. He knows.]

I'll have you know, back where I'm from I just helped save the world. Two worlds!

[Okay, he did very little of the heavy lifting, but he still helped!

Unlike here, where he's now doing a lot of the heavy lifting such as it is- apparently, Flowey doing something is enough to mollify him.]

that's ok! i understand!

[friendlyflower]

Ha! Join the club. [He also did very little of the heavy lifting. In fact, he was more of an active hindrance... But he helped in the end.] I freed all the monsters from their eternal prison. What about you?

[ba_boom]

Oh, nothin' too much. Just fought an out of control force trying to delete the human world and the digital world and helped save a little girl from its clutches.

[He's definitely overselling events a little, particularly since it's arguably his fault she was in its clutches in the first place- and therefore his fault that the D-Reaper got so powerful in the first place by feeding off of her emotions- but why bring up silly details like that, Flowey doesn't need that level of boring detail.]

Hey, uh... any idea how much of this we need?

[Because between his own tiny arms and Flowey's hostile compliance, he's looking at their pile of wood and he's not exactly impressed with their progress so far.]

[friendlyflower]

It is going pretty slow! Guess you'd better work harder!

[Usually, they fill up a cart or a bin or something... they aren't even half done yet. He should've looked at how small Impmon is and known better.]

Hmm... how about we race, then? Since you're so great, it should be no problem for you to beat lil ol' me.

[ba_boom]

Oh, you're on, sprout! Look how much we've already been doing, I'm totally gonna mop the floor with-

[jeopardy.mp3]

...Hey, you're trying to get me to do all the work again!

we can leave it here or keep going if you'd like-- up to you?

[friendlyflower]

And it almost worked! [He snickers.]

3 2 1 go!!! Whoever gets fewer branches has to eat a rotten berry!!

[With that, he actually sets about this 'race' of theirs.]

This seems like a good wrapping point.

[ba_boom]

Yeah, yeah, you try any more funny stuff and I'm feedin' it to you myself!

[It's hard to take a threat seriously from a grumbly little gremlin like Sableye, but he seems to be satisfied with it nevertheless, because he's off to the races without another word.]
