We came up with a backstory for FYAD
- NOLISTENTOME: FYAD is like if a random dude fell into a radioactive vat of humor
- GamblingChieftain: it's what happens when you let an internet community live in isolation
- NOLISTENTOME: But it was the vat they were planning on dumping later
- ElegantOrigins: it all devolves into incest
- NOLISTENTOME: So he just emerges as some weird superhero nobody likes
- ElegantOrigins: Irony Man?
- NOLISTENTOME: Well, I wouldn't call him a super hero
- GamblingChieftain: spider-man?
- NOLISTENTOME: nor a super villain
- NOLISTENTOME: Just like
- NOLISTENTOME: A super
- NOLISTENTOME: dude
- GamblingChieftain: I would call it super
- ElegantOrigins: he's just sort of there
- ElegantOrigins: he has super powers but he spends all day on the couch
- NOLISTENTOME: Despite obviously having some sort of powers he haggles on the street and spits at white people
- GamblingChieftain: I like him already
- GamblingChieftain: my kind of guy
- NOLISTENTOME: He's a local icon but nobody really knows his motives or history
- NOLISTENTOME: Every once in a while he's nice, buying lemonade from a kid's stand and giving him a tip
- NOLISTENTOME: But then after making sure the kid isn't looking he dumps the lemonade on a duck
- GamblingChieftain: so he's like that guy who dances to Michael jackson in that alley near borders in ann arbor?
- GamblingChieftain: he doesn't so it for us
- GamblingChieftain: I don't think he does it for himself
- NOLISTENTOME: He doesn't remember anymore
- GamblingChieftain: it's like he took the enormous responsibility to be "that one guy"
- NOLISTENTOME: It's just part of his day
- NOLISTENTOME: Without it he has a void in his schedule that he doesn't know how to fill
- GamblingChieftain: he had a wife once
- GamblingChieftain: but now there is only dance
- GamblingChieftain: he hasn't eaten or slept in days
- GamblingChieftain: he just
- GamblingChieftain: keeps
- GamblingChieftain: dancing
- NOLISTENTOME: He hobbles around like he's missing a leg but it's still there
- NOLISTENTOME: When asked about it he just smiles, showing all 6 of his teeth, laughs a bit, and turns away
- GamblingChieftain: one day I will bring my children to him and they will ask
- GamblingChieftain: "was there ever a man there?"
- NOLISTENTOME: This is a fantastic conversation
- GamblingChieftain: I will just shake my head in certainty "No. there was only the dancer."
- GamblingChieftain: eventually the boom box will break, his power gyrations shaking the thing apart
- ElegantOrigins: I'm sorry I missed out on this
- GamblingChieftain: but the music will still play
- NOLISTENTOME: And will usher in a new era of Dance
- ElegantOrigins: I was reading a bunch of racism and homophobia
- ElegantOrigins: I don't know why I do this to myself
- NOLISTENTOME: Stop doing that then
- NOLISTENTOME: this is funner
- NOLISTENTOME: Do this
- NOLISTENTOME: We're writing FYAD fanfiction
- GamblingChieftain: civilization will collapse, death and famine surround him
- GamblingChieftain: "why does god spare that one?" people shout.
- NOLISTENTOME: He is all 4 horsemen of the apocalypse, each flailing, funky limb representing one aspect of the plague
- GamblingChieftain: he is beyond mortal flesh, bullets ricochet off his dancing frame
- GamblingChieftain: death comes not to the dancer
- NOLISTENTOME: I feel like we should be writing this in some sort of poetic meter
- GamblingChieftain: I know right
- GamblingChieftain: nltm that was genius
- GamblingChieftain: I actually had to stop because I was busting up
- NOLISTENTOME: I'm glad we had this discussion
- NOLISTENTOME: I hope this has soothed some of the pain of no pokemon and shitty delivery boys
- GamblingChieftain: it has c:
- NOLISTENTOME: Next time i make a character for an RPG it's gonna be FYADman
