Cervantes-san said he would help me get muscles if I brought him a funny shirt.

[frostythehitman]

[ Wow. There's a lot to unpack here. But if he does that, he's going to fall into a bottomless pit of whatever this hilarity is. ]

Okay. So what's your plan? Gonna go looking in the Emporium for something?

[exercisms]

[Nodding.]

The Emporium. Will you help?

[frostythehitman]

Yeah, alright, kid. Lead the way, I'll help out.

[exercisms]

[Leading the way. Going to the emporium. There's lots of shirts with animals on them in here, I guess?]

[frostythehitman]

[ Once they're there, he realizes suddenly just how much of the stuff here is specifically animal-themed. Huh. ]

Alright, go nuts. Pick out whatever you think counts as a funny shirt, then I'll see where we need to go from there.

[exercisms]

[Looking at the shirts. Sweating. All of the shirts here are animal shirts, so. Looking at them? He's not sure what makes one funny?

Tentatively pointing at this one.]

Is that funny? He has glasses.

[frostythehitman]

[ oh boy. ]

...It's a start. Let's hold on to this one and see what else you got.

[ He offers to take the shirt from Mob so that he can keep searching for more. ]

[exercisms]

[I'll just keep googling shirts, Lisa, I'll do it all day. Pointing to another.]

That one? I know that you're supposed to laugh when someone shows their butt.

[frostythehitman]

[ I both hoped and planned for this. I'm fucking ready. ]

If you're four, maybe. Put that one back, the wolf one is the better of the two. But keep looking.

[exercisms]

Oh, okay.

[Pointing at a cute fox shirt.]

Is that funny?

[frostythehitman]

[ shakes his head ]

Cute, but not funny. Those are different things. Try again.

[exercisms]

[Pointing to this one? They're getting worse.]

[frostythehitman]

[ EXCUSE YOU, HE BEGS TO DIFFER ]

...Eh, about as good as the first one. [ Gestures for Mob to hand over this shirt to him as well. ]

Do you just have a thing about shirts with glasses and puns on them?

[exercisms]

[Shaking his head. Listen, these keep coming up when I google funny animal shirts.]

I don't. . . I don't know what's funny about any of them. I never have understood that kind of thing.

[frostythehitman]

[ that is...so sad. ]

Alright, different question. Have you ever laughed before?

[exercisms]

[Shaking his head.]

[frostythehitman]

[ KID, THIS IS SO SAD ]

...huh.

[ How do you explain what humor is? Or laughter? Christ, somebody get this kid a therapist or something. ]

Just...go with the first one, the wolf one. Try that and tell me how it goes.

[exercisms]

[He needs a therapist who is an expert on psychics.]

Thank you.

[Picking the wolf one. And then he'll add - ]

It's all right. I don't feel like I'm missing out. I just don't like it when others get angry because I don't.

[frostythehitman]

[ He blinks, because that sounds really weird at first, but he thinks he gets it. Making a joke only to have this extremely neutral face stare at you the whole time would be pretty uncomfortable. But all the same... ]

Yeah, well, they can piss off.

[exercisms]

[It would, wouldn't it. But he will just write an IOU for his wolf shirt.]

I don't think anyone means badly. But I don't have to change to try and fit in with others. It's okay to be myself.

[Again, sometimes he just says things that sound like he's repeating something he's been told.]

[frostythehitman]

Uh. Right, yeah. That.

[ ...a-awkward shoulder pats? Is this a mentoring? Did he successfully do a mentoring????? ]
