[A clearing of the throat, and a certain moth man dressed in a bright purple suit comes on camera, looking unamused as always.]

So, they say that you can judge people by what they like, right? I mean, if you like reading big long tedious books in your spare time, people will tend to think that you're big long and tedious when it comes to conversations. Or, if you like action movies and things with large explosions in them, people might think you're an adrenaline junkie and more likely to jump into a reckless situation. Or if you like really trashy romance novels, you don't actually have a life and stay at home all day because nobody will ever go out with you. Stuff like that, you get the idea.

So, I thought, why not ask people what they think about a certain thing I actually know a little bit about?

Insects.

[Yes, he's being serious. Nick gives the camera a level look.]

Tell me what insects you like, and I'll then judge what kind of person you are based on that. Yes, I'll count spiders in with that one. And if you don't like bugs all that much, you can just tell me which ones you don't like, and I'll judge that too. Think of this as a survey, of sorts.

...

If you have no idea what insects are, then I wonder what in the name of Sam Hill is going on with your world, because it must be the apocalypse over there or everything is messed up, that's all I can say.

[Anyone who says they hates butterflies is automatically getting a punch in the face from him, just saying.]

Comments

[fluturi]

[GROAN.]

It's an expression, kid. It means I think you're joking and not telling the truth.

[madcuriosity]

Why on Earth would I make a joke about... well... this?

[fluturi]

Because talking to butterflies or caterpillars with them talking back is either done by crazy people or people with overactive imaginations.

With you, I think it's the latter.

[madcuriosity]

[He's not wrong, Alice has an imagination capable of entire worlds... two of them, in fact.]

In Wonderland I spoke to Mr. Caterpillar, he's the one who explained the mushrooms and then turned into a butterfly. We discussed all sorts of things together.

[fluturi]

Mushrooms, huh.

...You didn't, well, eat any of these mushrooms beforehand, did you?

[GUESS WHO THINKS SHE WAS HIGH ON SOMETHING]

[madcuriosity]

Of course not. [Not beforehand, of course. It was after the caterpillar instructed her too, that was completely different.] I had the "Eat Me" cake beforehand though, that's how I got so small in the first place.

[fluturi]

...

Okay, somebody was amoral enough back in your world to drug a little girl. Why am I not surprised.

[madcuriosity]

A drug? I don't understand.

[fluturi]

You took drugs, you were high, you had a hallucinatory experience involving caterpillars and mushrooms and god knows what else. Understand?

[madcuriosity]

I took no such thing. [Whatever "drugs" were, in any case.] Gods can give us magical powers, why can't what I say be real? You can ask the other Miss Alice if you don't believe me.

[fluturi]

Because it sounds like something a stoner would tell me, that's why.

...

What, there's another you, apparently? How many yous does this place need??

[madcuriosity]

What in heaven's name is a "stoner?"

Well since the world isn't getting rid of you anytime soon, I'm sure it just wanted another pleasant person here is all.

[fluturi]

A person who can't tell the difference between reality and dreams, takes a lot of drugs, you know.

Oh, yeah, hahaha, no. I'm sure she's just as bad as you. Maybe marginally better, who knows?

[madcuriosity]

No, I don't know. That would be why I asked. [And she still doesn't know what a drug is.[

Well whether or not she's as bad as me or better, we're still both much more pleasant than you. [Score: Alice 2 Nick 0.]

[fluturi]

You should know. Otherwise I'll think you're stupid. I'm kind of thinking that already.

Oh, right, because that's your bias talking. Besides, does it matter how pleasant I am? I don't care, honestly.

[madcuriosity]

Well you don't care about being pleasant, I don't actually care what you think.

I've answered your question about butterflies and lady bugs. You've gone and decided to make it, once again, an unpleasant conversation.

[fluturi]

Maybe you should, get something smart up in that little mind of yours.

That's because you're you. I can't help myself, really.

[madcuriosity]

Care about what you think? Why, you don't think much at all and what you do think of is rude.

There you go proving my point yet again.

[fluturi]

Contrary to popular belief, I have a brain and I use it all the time. Not so sure about you.

[madcuriosity]

If it's popular belief, than maybe you should prove it more often.
