What we’ve got here is a failure to communicate.

Thoos began rallying to their subject, and said to the universe as much as to Picknar, “I mean, ‘you’ know. I have the same problems any average Tithoronian has. I had piles of money, and blew it partying. And so I took this job, because as much as I admire the ‘common Tith’ and their hardworking plight, I don’t understand them. why do menial labor? Isn’t it rather tedious?” Thoos then turned to Picknar and asked, “have you had it as hard as me? What’s your story?” Openly annoyed now, Picknar said, “ah, you know… after losing my job in the mines, this is the kind of thing us ‘common’ Tiths do for fun. Plus I need to pay for my expensive medication which keeps me alive.” Entirely missing Picknar’s sarcasm, Thoos said, “see? I just don’t get that.” Picknar began reflecting more earnestly on the past and said, “working in the mines wasn’t really all that bad. But I agree, brute labor is dull, and so I worked my way up until I was the munitions expert. Honestly, I didn’t find that to be much more interesting, nor do I actually like things blowing up. But it was an improvement.” Picknar then added in a little bit of bafflement, “I mean, where’s the joy in seeing things go kabloee?” Thoos replied, “you’re unfamiliar with the concept of joy, aren’t you?”

“So when are they doing this freaky experiment?”
“Friday.”
I have wonderful memories of sticking dynamite into old junkers and blowing the scrap out of it.
Oh, yeah, Picnar is absolutely right. BOOM! Maybe not today but there’s always a boom tomorrow.
Hahahaha! I may be hanging the “boom” over the mantlepiece in act 1. 😉
Except if someone steals the Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator. 😀
Unlike “Chekhov’s Gun”, “Marvin’s Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator” states that if there is a lit Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator in scene one, there will *not* be an Earth Shattering Kaboom in scene 3.
The Maxim of Marvin’s Missing Mayhem? 😀
Body swap, Thoos’ creditors go kablooey, hijinks ensue?
Some Tithoronians you just can’t reach.
Sounds like Tithoronians need single payer, too.
“Failure to communicate”?!
Not for long. O no.
A deal with God coming up!
(Cuing Kate Bush “Running Up That Hill” now)
Thoos is gonna totally die in Picknar’s body, isn’t he.
I’m Irish. Always did like ka-booms!:)
Scots are like that, too…. coincidentally, both populations settled heavily in Texas, America’s capital of big-bada-booms. They invented the first person shooter!
In the text, rather than “I mean, ‘you’ know” I’d do “I mean, *you* know”, since it’s emphasis, rather than sarcasm or quotation.
Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like they really do understand eachother and have much more in common then it seems on the surface.
