1st Gumball - Phone/Action

[connedviakeyboard]

[As much weird crap as he had put up with in his life, especially recently, winding up in bed in a house he'd never been in with a woman he didn't know was kind of a new one on Benson. New enough, in fact, that he practically fell out of his bed and scrambled to the other side of the room on his butt, just looking around in wonder and horror at the room he'd found himself in. He guesses there were worse places he could be but...no, you know what? Kidnapping is kidnapping and he's not really in the mood for any of it right now.

He takes some time to explore the house, looking in shocked horror at the pictures of him with a family he's never known, as a human for God's sake, and-

That's when he first notices it. He lifts his hand, looking it over as it's turned a softy, fleshy pink, and feels a shiver run down his spine.

That tears it. That's the moment he runs to the nearest telephone in the house, and does what he does best.]

[Phone]

[Good morning Mayfield. Enjoy the pleasant voice of one of the angriest men in the world blaring across the telephone.]

MORDECAI! RIGBY! WHAT DID YOU DO?

I have no clue what you did or how but whatever it is, heh, you better change it back! And you better change it back and fix it soon, or you're BOTH FIRED!

[Action; Around Town]

[There's a very angry, lanky man walking around town, hands stuffed into the pockets of the jacket he's wearing, back hunched up like an angry cat ready to leap at and maul the first thing it finds. He grumbles unpleasantly, occasionally stopping to angrily kick at one of the garbage cans in front of him before continuing on his way.

He's sticking to Ricardo Street for the most part, but feel free to find him anywhere.]

[There's a small bit of unamused laughter.]

Heh. Heheh. Uh, yeah Rigby. It's me. So. Would you like to tell me what you two idiots did!

Is that Mordecai? I know I can hear him in the background.

[nopunchies.livejournal.com]

We didn't do anything! Jeez, way to just jump on us when we didn't do nothin'!

And, yeah, Mordecai is here. We live in the same house.

[mordekawaii.livejournal.com]

Yeah, way to put the blame on us when we're completely innocent this time!

[grumpygumballs.livejournal.com]

Oh. I'm sorry. Well I guess the city just changed like this all on its own.

If you didn't do it, who did?

[nopunchies.livejournal.com]

We didn't do anything, really! We don't know who did this!

Anyway, we've never managed to change a whole city before. Jeez, Benson, cut us some slack.

[mordekawaii.livejournal.com]

Give me that.

[He's taking the phone from Rigby for a minute]

Okay Benson, this place isn't the same town we lived in. It's called Mayfield and I have no idea what the point of it is but I know that someone's kidnapped us and other people from different worlds and it sucks.

[grumpygumballs.livejournal.com]

[Well, at least Mordecai will tell him something so he can't be ungrateful for that. Benson pauses a moment. Yeah, this is a little bit large scale for even the kind of messes Mordecai and Rigby cause, so really? He guesses he can't blame them. Yet.]

So, what? We're stuck here?

Wait...how do you even know that? You two couldn't have been here any longer than I have, I saw you at work yesterday.

[nopunchies.livejournal.com]

Hey! [[he'll stand by mordecai and flail for the phone.]] What'd he say?! Is he still blaming us?

Tell that jerk off!

[mordekawaii.livejournal.com]

[SHOVE.]

Dude, calm down!

[Back to Benson]

Yeah, we're stuck here.

Dude, I've been here since like, the beginning of November.

[grumpygumballs.livejournal.com]

[He's not saying anything yet, but he can hear you Rigby. And you're starting to wear down any good graces he has at the moment towards you and Mordecai.]

The beginning of November? How the hell does that work?

Okay. Fine. Whatever. Is anyone else here than just you and Rigby?

[nopunchies.livejournal.com]

Aughh! [[so, he just stands there, arms crossed and pouting.

he hears benson's question and decides to yell instead of... letting mordecai answer.]] Pops is here!

[mordekawaii.livejournal.com]

Dude!

[Another shove] Just wait until I give the phone back!


Yeah, Pops is here. We've all been here since November and I have no idea how that works.

[grumpygumballs.livejournal.com]

Just Pops?

[Well shit. It would've been nice if it was Skips. Hell, he'd have even taken Muscleman and High-Five. But Pops being here meant he'd need to be even more on guard.]

Okay, fine. Alright. And Pop's been okay, right?

[You better have made sure he didn't get hurt, guys.]

oh my god HTML will you JUST WORK????

[nopunchies.livejournal.com]

Uhhhhhhh.

[[suddenly, he pretends to strains to hear.]] What did he say? I couldn't hear him!

[[mordecai, it's up to you to break the news about the bombs and the fallout and the cannibals and such. basically, explaining to their incredibly rageful boss that they're in the most crazy and harmful place imaginable. and that pop might have gotten a bit shaken up. just a little. a tad.]]

[mordekawaii.livejournal.com]

Uh...

[Wow he really doesn't want to tell Benson about how they let Pops die]

Yeah, totally. Everything's been fine.

[grumpygumballs.livejournal.com]

[There's a pause. That pause?

Is Benson slowly narrowing his eyes.]

You're sure.

[Because if he finds out differently, Mordecai...]

[nopunchies.livejournal.com]

[[rigby is totally drinking mordecai's milk now.

he's not saying anything.

he's not listen he can't hear anything la la la la.]]

[mordekawaii.livejournal.com]

Well yeah I mean, there was that one time with the cannibals and radiation poisoning but we're fine now.

[Please don't freak out, please don't freak out, please don't freak out......]

[grumpygumballs.livejournal.com]

Oh. Oh is that all? Well that just sounds greeaaat...

[His voice is calm. Soft even.

And then there's the sound of him throwing the glass of water he was holding to the floor in the background as his voice rises.]

WHAT.

HAPPENED!

[nopunchies.livejournal.com]

[[that was some delicious milk, but now he's a little worried.]he's gotta help his bro out, it's the only thing to do!]

Benson, relax! I mean, he's fine now. And it wasn't like we got off much better!

[mordekawaii.livejournal.com]

Yeah! The hole place was bombed and attacked by cannibals, you can't blame us for what happened! And it's not like we just left Pops alone to die and got off scotch free! I was bleeding out my eyes Benson. Out my eyes.

[grumpygumballs.livejournal.com]

[There's silence on the other end of the line, a brief sputtering. You what? That doesn't....what?

And then. Just calmly. Far too calmly.]

Where. Are. You.

[hamboning.livejournal.com]

Uhhh I'dunno. What's our address, Mordecai?

Hey, wait a minute! Are you just gonna come over here and yell at us some more?!

[mordecrai.livejournal.com]

Yeah, if you're just going to come yell at us, why should we tell you where we live?

[grumpygumballs.livejournal.com]

Oh. Oh no guys don't worry.

I'm not going to yell at you anymore.
