Look at me, I'm made of wonderful, wonderful

[[OOC: There's a smear of what looks suspiciously like maple syrup at the top of the page. Hmm. Also, Derrick is not affected by Mad Libs.]]

Here's a bit of free and sage advice, Sphere.

If someone offers to give you an Awful Waffle, DON'T TAKE IT.

It's not a food.

Let us leave it at that and never speak of it again.

Tsk, tsk. Man-twin, I am disappoint. You still haven't gotten rid of your kitty ears OR your unicorn.

I tried to rent one for you, by the way, but they ran out. [Added in later.] And by one I mean "a unicorn", of course.

If I'm gonna be doing this ninja thing, I need a flashy new codename.

Derrick the Water Beetle? Nah...

Or how about Flash. Yeah. My ninja superhero name shall be FLASH. Genius can be the Water Beetle.

... anyone have any better ideas?

You know what sucks? Making books. Jeez. There has GOT to be an easier way to do this, especially if I'm going to be writing longer stories.

But worry not for now. My hard work has finally paid off.

ATTENTION EDENSPHERE!

I am proud to announce the completion of my first masterwork, a story about a friendly banana puppet we all know and love, entitled "Our Friend Nannerpus"! Authored by me, Derrick, and illustrations provided by a lovely person who wishes to remain anonymous. There are limited quantities available... very limited... as in... they're not for sale right now, just to be borrowed. I don't seem to be able to catch the guy who runs the bookstore, so please stop by my place in Section 3 if you're interested.

AND YOU SHOULD BE.

Play nice, everyone~ we'll all get a chance to read it eventually.

[[OOC: And there you go! "Our Friend Nannerpus" is a short childrens' story about Nannerpus and his pancake-giving generosity, and I don't feel like coming up with the whole thing so- ah, feel free to make shit up? XD There will be 5 copies floating around (there were 6, but he saved the first copy for his man-twin, awwww) all put together and hand-written by Derrick, with illustrations done by an NPC.

ALSO, HAVE A FREELY-GANKABLE COMMEMORATIVE ICON]]

So- a query for the esteemed residents of Edensphere. I hope it makes sense.

Is it normal to see someone or someTHING that reminds you of something, even if you don't know WHAT it reminds you of? I've experienced that sort of feeling recently, and for some reason it's really bothering me. Not even tasting like whipped cream can make up for it.

[[LATE OOC Addendum: Derrick has no idea that he also helped investigate crimes on the side in his pre-ES life, so Stoneface's murder is pinging the shit out of him for that and he has no idea why and it BUGS HIM OKAY. He won't say that directly, though.]]
