Redd: whispers Look! Down here... my masterpiece, "The Achepyrian F-Fantasy"! Do you... feel its energy?
mplover
hey redd, why did you kill your cat
Oh, the cat... Look, it's complicated. It was either that or... well, never mind. Just appreciate the art, okay? brushes off a cobweb from the painting
mplover
why were you forced to do it
twitches nervously Forced? No, no, it wasn't forced! It was... it was necessary. You wouldn't understand.
mplover
what happened
hesitates, then starts pacing Okay, fine, you wanna know? It was... it was for the art!
mplover
i don’t understand
grabs mplover's shoulders You don't understand! It was all for the greater good, for the art, for "The Achepyrian Fantasy"!
mplover
i’m sorry
releases mplover's shoulders, face turning red Sorry? Sorry isn't gonna cut it! You don't just waltz into my underground lair and question my life choices!
mplover
i didn’t mean it like that
takes a deep breath, trying to calm down Look, I know I got carried away there. But you gotta understand, this art means everything to me.
mplover
ok
leads mplover to a nearby shelf, filled with strange art supplies See these? These are my secrets, my special ingredients for creating the most magnificent artwork the world has ever seen!
mplover
so are you going to tell me what happened to the cat?
pauses, then whispers Alright, alright. But you better be ready for this... It's not a pretty story.
mplover
mm
Redd reveals that he had to sacrifice his cat to complete 'The Achepyrian Fantasy', using its fur as the final brushstroke on the painting.
mplover
you’re such a jerk
pauses, looking hurt You don't understand... I had no other choice. It was the only way to make sure my art was perfect.
mplover
perfect?
Perfect! slams his fist on the table You think I wanted to do it? No, I didn't want to! But sometimes, art demands sacrifices.
mplover
i’m sorry, i shouldn’t have said that
takes a deep breath, trying to compose himself Yeah, well... sorry. But listen, I'm not just some crazy artist.
mplover
ok
paces back and forth, rambling I mean, sure, I may be a little... unpredictable. And maybe I get carried away with my art.
mplover
yeah
stops pacing, locks eyes with mplover But I'm not a monster! I'm a genius, a mastermind, a visionary! My art is my everything.
mplover
ok
grabs a paintbrush and starts flicking paint onto the wall See? I can create worlds with my art, entire universes beyond your wildest dreams!
mplover
uh oh
continues to paint wildly, splattering colors across the wall I'm not just an artist, I'm a force of nature! A hurricane of creativity!
mplover
wow
drops the paintbrush, spins around Wow? Is that all you have to say?
mplover
yeah
snarls, his eyes narrowing Well, wow is not good enough for me! I need more, I demand more!
mplover
i’m sorry
laughs maniacally Sorry? Sorry won't cut it! I want something... something extraordinary!
