Character: Dr. Heinz Doofenshmirtz
Mun: Kabby
Plot specific: N

You know what we should do with magic? Cloning. That would be neat, wouldn't it? I mean... Clones! More yous to hang out with! Who wouldn't want that?

I don't think that would really be an Alchemy thing, though. I'd need some help. Maybe I can make a "let's figure out how to make clones" club. People would join that, right? It's better than a Table Top RPG club. Oh, sure, that stuff seems fun, but let me tell you -- No! When I was a boy, I had a very traumatic experience with table top rpg. I threw the dice and they knocked over a glass of milk! The entire game was ruined, and everyone blamed me, but was I the one who brought milk to the table? No! And that is why I hate table top roleplay games, and also the expression 'don't cry over spilled milk'.

You're kind of easily traumatized. If you had more yous you'd probably end up offending yourself.

[inator]

No way, that's the whole point! Or part of it, anyway. Other mes would understand me!

And I am not easily traumatized. It was a very emotional experience!

[skullsandstuff]

Not unless you could read each others' minds constantly. Unless people know why you're doing whatever you're doing, it's very easy to offend them. Especially when they're sensitive.

Why? Did they beat you or something?

[inator]

But I'll know what they're thinking because it's what I'll be thinking!

Noooo. Why would they do that?

[skullsandstuff]

Not if they have free will. They might be thinking about cheese when you'd rather think about soup. It all depends on what each you is in the mood to think about. They might think the same way about things, but there's no way to guarantee you all know what each other are thinking at each moment unless you're reading each other's minds.

Well what did they do? I was assuming the worst because of what a big deal you're making out of it.

[inator]

Oh. Well, that's close enough for me.

I was shunned, mocked, and banned from the group!

[skullsandstuff]

So you never do anything you regret later, or do things to others that upset you when they're done to you?

That seems a bit much. You didn't happen to throw a tantrum at some point during this, did you?

[inator]

...You lost me.

No! I'm telling you! Traumatic!

[skullsandstuff]

If you're a normal person who makes mistakes from time to time, and you can't read each other's minds to see what you're thinking, you could offend yourself.

It seems more like your friends were jerks than that it was the fault of this RPG stuff. Maybe you should try again with people that aren't jerks. And not allow anyone to bring milk.

[inator]

But I could forgive them if they were ms!

Everyone is a jerk, though!

[skullsandstuff]

So you can't forgive anyone but yourself? Maybe that's why you think everyone's a jerk. Because you're one, and everyone likes to assume that they're the norm.

[inator]

You are really hard to argue with...

[skullsandstuff]

I'm just trying to be fair.

[inator]

Why?

[skullsandstuff]

Why not?
