PUBLIC CHANNEL -- DAY 138

[dorkypantsuit]

[He feels like shit, but he is still a supervisor...]

Mandatory check-in.

Name, department, and health status.

Comments

[dorkypantsuit]

That's exactly why you need to.

[dontpokethat]

That... is complete nonsense.

[sorry psi but not really]

[dorkypantsuit]

If you were confident this wouldn't be a problem, it is and so you aren't!

[LOGIC]

[dontpokethat]

Why do I have to be confident in my singing skills? I don't even want to sing to begin with.

[dorkypantsuit]

You could do a monologue instead if you want.

[dontpokethat]

Who monologues at karaoke?

[dorkypantsuit]

I'm just trying to give you some options!

[dontpokethat]

I pick the option where I don't perform.

[dorkypantsuit]

Why not?

[dontpokethat]

Because I don't want to.

[dorkypantsuit]

But you could have fun!

[dontpokethat]

Or I could hate it. Which sounds a lot more likely.

[dorkypantsuit]

How do you know if you never try?

[dontpokethat]

Well, let's see. I don't like being at the center of attention. I don't like being expected to entertain people. So it seems pretty safe to assume I wouldn't like going up in front of the entire carnival to sing.

[dorkypantsuit]

Okay, but consider this: Is there a reason you don't like being the center of attention?

[dontpokethat]

Does it matter? I just don't.

[dorkypantsuit]

It doesn't matter, but I'm curious.

[dontpokethat]

Well, frankly, I'm not sure there is any deep reason or anything like that. I just don't like it.

[dorkypantsuit]

[Ginko... You are so boring sometimes.]

Well, I guess you have other skills to make up for it.

[dontpokethat]

Yeah, see? Which is why you people should let me do my job in peace.

[SO THERE.]

[dorkypantsuit]

You'd get bored without us around and you know it.

[By 'you people' he of course assumes Ginko means Psi and Joker, because who else loves to harass Ginko as much as they do?]

[dontpokethat]

[That's pretty accurate, yeah.]

Or I'd finally get some work done.

[He can't actually keep his fond amusement out of his voice, but it's not like he really tried, either.]

[dorkypantsuit]

Isn't that what I said?

[dontpokethat]

Have you forgotten the part where I like my work?

[dorkypantsuit]

But all the time?
