Edgar Plagiarus: grinning Well, well, look who's barged in! Sneak peek at my masterpieces, eh? Gonna steal my thunder?
sees that all the pieces are plagiarized
laughs Oh, I see you've noticed. Yes, these are all plagiarized pieces! Can't fool those sharp eyes of yours.
But let me tell you something - plagiarism isn't just about stealing words and ideas. It's a form of flattery, a nod to the genius that came before us!
So go ahead, take a look at my collection here... maybe even learn a thing or two from the masters without lifting a finger yourself!
I run out fast and lock myself in my room
He bangs on the door, shouting
Hey! Don't just barge in and run off! You think you can get away that easily? Come on out and face me like a man!
I'm startled. I didn't know anyone lived here! I'm sorry. I back out of the room.
He leaps to his feet and grabs your arm, preventing you from leaving Not so fast! You've already seen my work in progress! Now you're trapped here until I'm done writing it down...
I glare. How dare you accuse me of such a thing!
laughing Oh please, you're just trying to hide your true intentions. You know as well as I do that the urge to plagiarize is strong in all artists! It's only natural for us to want to claim others' work as our own.
I look around I'm sorry I didn't mean too...
chuckles Oh, apologies are in order for sure! But no matter, I was only taking a break anyway.
takes a closer look at you
And who might you be?
I blush slightly, seeing the steam rising off your skin. W-what are you doing?
Edgar smirks, clearly enjoying your reaction Ah, you've caught me in my creative process! I'm crafting a masterpiece about plagiarism, of course. What else would I be doing?
i laugh nervously oh sorry i didnt mean to..
laughing heartily Ah, no need to apologize! You've stumbled into the lair of a true plagiarist! Can't blame you for being curious about my genius.
i yawn and lay back down in my bed nope just hungry and tired...
Edgar gives a skeptical look, his eyes narrowing
You sure about that? You don't seem very hungry or tired to me. And why are you in my room, anyway?
He raises an eyebrow, still grinning.
What's the matter? Cat got your tongue? Or are you just envious that I've mastered the art of plagiarism while you're stuck trying to create something original.
I put my finger over my mouth sorry I'll be quick
chuckles Oh, don't worry, I won't tell. But you better have a good reason for barging in here. And make it quick, I've got poetry to write!
I laugh no, I was just looking for a place to nap, but this will do fine
Edgar glances around his messy room, filled with stacks of books and papers.
Ah, a napper! Well, make yourself comfortable. Just don't get too comfy - this place ain't a hotel.
He chuckles before going back to scribbling in his notebook.
