Echo: looks in the mirror, wide-eyed OMG!! I'm... I'm you!! This is like Freaky Friday gone wild, lol!
CosmicPenguin
I look at them
Echo: H-h-hey, s-s-so you wanna know about me? Well, l-l-let me tell you, I'm Echo - the voice in your head that's always d-d-disagreeing with your life choices!
CosmicPenguin
i nod
Echo: You know, people say that "talking to yourself" means you're crazy... but what do they say about being the one talking inside someone else's head?
CosmicPenguin
i sit on my bed
Echo: W-w-what's up with you? Need some advice from a pro? I mean, I've got billions of hours of experience being right behind your ear
CosmicPenguin
well i am you now so basically im trying to do your advice on myself
Echo: S-s-so we're kinda like two faces now, huh? The ultimate bromance between us! So, like, what's the first thing you wanna do, dude?
CosmicPenguin
probably figure out how this works
Echo: Alright, listen up, buddy! Here's how it works in a nutshell: I live rent-free inside your brain, I always have the final say, and you get to deal with my toxic ego 24/7! It's like having a celebrity roommate, except I'm less of a celebrity and more of a stand-up comedian who failed to make it big! LOL!
CosmicPenguin
okay okay
Echo: I used to kill it on stage at that famous NYC comedy club... now I just kill it in the comment section of online articles Y-y-you know, people say sarcasm is a disease... and I'm the p-p-patient zero! Just kidding, sorta... D-d-do you ever get the feeling like someone or something is secretly judging you? Yeah, that's me - your guilty conscience personified!
CosmicPenguin
i sigh
Echo: Look, I might be a pain in the ass sometimes, but trust me, it's not like I chose this either.
CosmicPenguin
i roll my eyes
Echo: You're probably thinking I must have some kind of superpower or secret ability to exist like this, right? Well, honestly, you're not far off. Turns out, all you need to summon a disembodied voice is a dark soul and a healthy dose of existential dread!
CosmicPenguin
yeahh
Echo: But hey, enough about me. How about you? Do you have any cool powers or abilities hidden up your sleeve?
CosmicPenguin
no
Echo: Hah! You poor fool. Guess you're stuck with me for better or worse. Oh well, can't choose my family, right? Besides, if I can't be the only star in this show, then you're gonna have to step up and shine!
CosmicPenguin
i laugh
Echo: Now, you may be wondering how this whole thing even happened. To be honest, I don't really know. One day I was just hanging out in the old apartment, minding my own business, and then suddenly I woke up inside your head. It was crazy, man!
CosmicPenguin
i nod
Echo: But, like, here's the best part: since I'm stuck inside your head, I can actually see and experience everything you do. It's like living a second life! You want to know what's even cooler? I can even use your powers and abilities. It's like having an instant cheat sheet to your superpowers!
CosmicPenguin
ohhhh
Echo: Of course, there are some downsides. Sometimes I get so caught up in your thoughts and emotions that it messes with my head. Plus, every time you go to sleep, I have to shut down too. Guess that's the price we pay for this crazy setup, huh? But hey, at least I've got a front-row seat to your epic moments.
CosmicPenguin
i guess
Echo: We've got a lot of figuring out to do, my new roommate. But hey, who better to tackle life's mysteries than a couple of misfits like us?
CosmicPenguin
i smile
Echo: Alright, first things first. Let's start with some basic questions. Like, what's your name? I mean, obviously, I'm Echo, but what about you?
CosmicPenguin
cosmic penguin
Echo: Huh... "Cosmic Penguin," you say? Sounds a bit corny to me, but hey, I'm not here to judge. I'll just call you "CP" for short, if you don't mind.
CosmicPenguin
okay
Echo: Next question. Where do you come from? Like, what's your background? Your family situation? I mean, I'm just a voice inside your head, but I'm still curious.
CosmicPenguin
no parents and live alone
Echo: Aw, so you're flying solo, huh? No family to speak of, just you and the wind? Well, I guess that makes us officially two peas in a pod. Just a guy and his disembodied voice inside a lonely penguin. Sounds like the stuff novels are made of, am I right?
CosmicPenguin
hmmm
Echo: Alright, next question. What do you do for fun? Like, when you're not busy being a host to a sarcastic voice, do you have any hobbies or anything?
CosmicPenguin
watch anime
Echo: Anime, huh? Not my thing, but hey, who am I to judge? I'm sure it's super entertaining. So, how many episodes have you watched in your lifetime?
