Immortal Platypus

it hasn't been that long, just a long time since you've been on

YES! BROTHER! FINALLY ANOTHER PERSON WHO THINKS THIS! *ahem* anyways, i'm gonna keep reading the series because of the time I've put into it. I don't expect it to get so good that I'll be like, I would've regretted not reading this, but I also don't expect it to get so bad that I'm like, I wish I hadn't read this (for a long time at least). I think the series is ok, but I definitely wouldn't call it great, or even good. The same plot tends to get reused (imo) so I'm not a huge fan, but at least things are starting to change. maybe it'll be good, and I'll be pleasantly surprised.

nothing against you, you're just not Stick. Do I belong to the cult of the Stick or the cult of the stick?

insneed

"Yeah, but I don't want to work for them. I want to be my own man- er, pedestal."

"Ah. I've been looking into it, but I can't afford it. What's a simple pedestal to do? Do you know anyone or anything that could give me a leg up?"

"You could've talked to the guy who learned how to weave plot to fit his purposes. Actually, I think he learned that fighting you. Yeah, I guess. But your villain registration was cheaper? I thought their prices had gone up with the death of Nameless, a powerful hero, and then more with Darkness ariving. I just checked a few days ago and their prices were up 15% from before the death."

"It didn't work very well," whispered the pedestal. "He kinda became a villain for a long time and is also kinda the reason Darkness is alive." "Oh, and also killed Nameless." EDIT: They added a "typing" signal in the recently browsing section! It's when they're italicized.

He shouldn't've been able to hear that... oh wait. godlike powers. I forgot

I'm not suffering

The voice in the pedestal sighed inaudibly to itself. Again, you have godlike powers. You could just, ya know, heal them...

"Actually I think it would be gross negligence, as you've warned him multiple times that it does not, in fact, grant immortality."

true. you would just say you stabbed them and they had to think of a way out

too bad

"Hey, I'm just sayin. I didn't give advice, just options." that wasn't godmodding. If he is an Author/Narrator, he does have godlike powers, even if he can't use them effectively. I also missed you saying anything about that, so oops

sorry, my bad

A voice whispered to him from the pedestal. "You have literally godlike capabilities. You can teleport. You could recall the bottle at will. It's not that hard."

is your name polly

I don't want it stuck in my head

you are correct. hence your denial does not mean you are not a nerd

is that the theme?

good
