Well, word of advice from someone who had influence, even if not primarily online: Don’t do that.

@Melodious

Fake your death, become hated, or join at all?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

If that’s what you really want, I guess.

@Melodious

Well, it’s not. But I’m also not a social mediator.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Pretend to be dying? Girl, in some places that would get you cancelled.

@Melodious

And then people hate-watch, so you get even more popular!

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Don’t die. Wouldn’t be good for those contracts.

@Melodious

*Swallows*
Everyone loves a good fakeout. You see, that's the kind of thing I would do if I was more of a social media kind of gal.

*Plays a very brief jingle that sounds like the kind of tune you’d hear after a gag in an old cartoon*

@Melodious

*Nearly chokes laughing*

*Slowly shifts my gaze down to the base of the guitar, clearly in deep, questioning thought*

@Melodious

Makesh shense, right?

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

The “almost making sense” thing seems way more apparent after I actually mention it.

@Melodious

What can I say? Comes with the territory!
*Rolls an apple across my shoulders, down my arm, and then tosses it into my mouth, downing it in one bite*
Zhat shaid, being parcth of my charasher givesh me a lo of leeway.

How is an ability dictated by those parameters? Is it a self imposed restriction? Or regulated by a higher power if some kind?

@Melodious

It's kind of funny you ask, but the long and short of it is that if it's not entertaining, my contracts get canceled, I get to do even less, and we all end up with a sad Surprise!.

*Blinks*
I mean, feels like something like that would always be convenient. And you seem to always almost make sense.

@Melodious

You’ve caught on to my scheme! I can’t just poof up anything I want out there—that would be deus ex machina and a terrible writing practice.
*Karate chops into my open palm with each word*
It has to be thematic. It has to be clever. It has to be interesting.

Actually, better question. Can you just drum up media on a whim that didn’t exist before? I know that audio clip wasn’t me and was just you and all, but there’s no way you had that on hand regardless.

@Melodious

Yeah, so—
*Closes the camcorder*
Great question! No. Well, kinda yes. It’s complicated.
*Lifts my hand and pinches my fingers in a smooth motion, like pinning an object to a cork board*
I can only do that if it’s convenient and almost makes sense.
