SockPuppet


I like writing about the worst day of a character's life; it lets us see the mettle inside. (Pronouns: RB/20 )

What if Wallflower zorped away everyone's memories? Button Mash to the "rescue."


Based on a conversation with Mockingbirb. Spoilery details in the author's note at the bottom.

Because now you saw the chapter title, you need to hear it.

Thanks for this terrible little insight into existential horror, horniness, and late-stage capitalism.

Glad to help!

And I'm listening to the album on Amazon Music (speaking of late-stage capitalism...)

The next customer stepped into Button's office. For a few uncomfortable seconds, they just stared at each other.

Finally, Button sighed and asked "Zorp yourself?"

Wallflower flushed and nodded, hands worrying at the Memory Stone like it was a petrified stress doll.

The necessary SQL query was routine enough that he'd bookmarked a script to run it. "I have a standard package ready for you. I don't know how to work that thing, but apparently it's enough for you."

The girl shrank into the folding chair. "This has happened before?"

"You've been careful to leave backups for yourself." Button gave her a hard look that might have been more intimidating if he could ever bring himself to lose the propeller beanie. "As have I, so don't get any bright ideas about wiping my memories to get out of paying."

She gave a sheepish nod and dug into her pockets. "How much?"

"Twenty bucks."

Wallflower blinked. "That's it?"

Button shrugged. "Hey, you're the one keeping me in business."

Button Mash the greedy, evil, capitalist is a joyful thing to see.

I like the way this story builds...starting with funny and then going farther into the Sockno Zone[tm].

From a chat we had AFTER Sockpuppet put this story on the website:

sockpuppet — Button Mash is bad and did bad things

MockingBirb — Yes, one of the classic comedy dilemmas
Write a comedy about terrible things happening, hope half the readership doesn't want to build the Torment Nexus

The memory stone now says *zorp* in my head.

Also, that's a pretty devious 'Shy... :yay:

Came from:

I was wondering at the tags, and :rainbowlaugh:

That CMC negotation, and then it keeps getting funnier, or about the same! Good job!

This was surprisingly hilarious. This kind of humor is my jam and great job at making it good.

I haven't felt much motivation to shitpost lately. This was my first story in months. But knowing people still get butthurt over my stuff makes me want to write more again. You've reinvigorated my muse.

Gotta say this was a pretty effective use of one of the fandom's less-used characters.

Man, these Crusaders hate Button Mash...

I'm sorry... but I feel like I have to.
