"Well uh... the good news is that he isn't a cybug hybrid like me. Because if he was, then you'd have bigger problems to tackle."
Handing the picture back over.
šš¬ šš¶šš¹š!! š¬š
she frantically yanks out a picture and hands it to him.
"like, you have to admit that's wierd. we're from completely different genres! decades, even! and yet he looks like your stepbro or something!"
"i just...yeah. it's not even a programming thing for me, though. the main villain of my game keeps me locked up in my own house and spreads lies about me!!! it's his fault i'm stuck with all this negative reputation stuff!"
she pauses.
"wait, oh my god you look just like him. like, identical."
"Boy isn't that familiar.. bad guys tend to have a bad rap, even though its their programmed job to be bad. That doesn't always make them bad guys for real."
šš¬ šš¶šš¹š!! š¬š
"s-solid? no, it sucks! i just wanna have tea parties and make friends, but of COURSE everyone still thinks i'm that wretched lady! it's all a load of burnt cupcakes, i tell you! it SUCKS! it just makes me so ANGRY!"
she smacks a nearby tree into fucking orbit with her SMALLEST braid in a tantrum.
she stares at him, dead-faced.
"i mentally tortured innocent children and watched as they were mutilated and surgically made into living toys. and then they rose up against me and did the same to me. and now i have to live with the guilt of everything my human self did, even if it wasn't me."
"I wasn't a villain, but I became one. I threw away my life and destroyed many others. Do you have any idea how much self hatred that breeds?"
šš¬ šš¶šš¹š!! š¬š
she thinks for a moment.
"poppy playtime! a horror game. which is wierd considering i'm not scary, and yet i'm apparently one of the villains..?"
{yeah she's self-aware, but only when it's convenient for the plot}
"you kind of look like mommy longlegs."
Resisting the urge to scowl at this. Come on, man, don't be so sour!
"I'm not the candy man. Never was."
šš¬ šš¶šš¹š!! š¬š
"i'm lily! lily lovebraids! and you must be the candyman!"
she begins to sing.
"Who can take a sunnnnrise~?
Sprinkle it with dewww?
Cover it in chocolate and a miracle or two?
The Candy Man~
The Candy Man can!
The Candy Man can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good~!"
