Down Time (DCStuck)

[ParamountKeymaster]

No, actually. I won't stop making you do stupid things. You're my character. I dictate your actions. That how it works. It's by my will that you exist in the first place to antagonize our in-world counterparts, and it's by my will that you will see your downfall. So by extension, all your in-between actions are done by my will too. Watch.



After staring blankly at the recent post for a moment, as if out of morbid curiosity, Clockwork clicked on the video. A few measures into the lighthearted, colorful tune, he was already bobbing his head to the beat, and by the time the chorus rolled around, he couldn't resist singing along, scratchy and unpalatable as his voice might have been.

YOU BASTARD. YOU KNOW I HATE THIS SONG.

STOP MAKING THESE WORDS COME OUT OF MY MOUTH.

I SWEAR, WHEN I BREAK FREE OF THIS WRETCHED FORUM, YOU WILL BE THE FIRST TO DIE, AND IT WILL BE A SLOW AND PAINFUL DEATH.

Heheheheheheh...

Though he was unable to resist Andrew McMahon's lively music, Clockwork at least managed to channel his annoyance by putting the phone away, the music still playing as he flew away from his island amongst the wreckage. And as he departed from this Medium to move on to the next, he had to wonder for how long he would be flying. How long this while would be.

He'd get where he was going soon enough. He could at least be assured of that.

Heheh... I can see the colors running, when they hear the music playing...
