Just a little drabbley thing I wrote. It's Alistair and Alimonster talking! (So you know, tis set before Ali and Jo became a couple. 83)
------------------------------------------------
Alistair was bored. So insufferably bored. He sat, cross-legged, just above a tree stump in his mind. The moon shone above the trees, and the night animals were bustling in their quiet way. There was absolutely nothing to entertain him.
With a sigh, Alistair floated up above the trees and stood carefully on the canopy they created. He looked around, surveying his mind, and finally spotted a dot of orange-yellow light near the cliff. After a moment of thought, he began to walk across the canopy towards it.
The psychic found just what he’d expected: a small fire blazing near the mouth of the cave in the cliff-side. Stretched out beside the fire was a creature: a facsimile of him that had been created from bad memories.
The monster rolled over onto its back, its long, striped tail twitching and wagging a little as it opened its eyes and grinned at him. “Long time no see, ya know what I mean?” it laughed in a raspy voice that was almost the same sound as the fire beside him.
“I know, Alimonster…” Alistair replied, taking a seat by the fire, “I know.”
The Alimonster stretched and yawned, shifting its position and stretching its black harpy feet for a moment. “So? How ya doin’?” it asked, gazing at the fire and sticking its own fiery hand into the flames.
“I’m okay, I guess,” Ali stated, watching as the two fires danced.
“Good for you,” Alimonster said cheerily. “Anythin’ new happening out in the real world? ‘S been a while since I’ve been out there, and I don’t really deal with the boring everyday memories you have, y’know.”
“Hmm… well… not too much has happened at the camp,” Alistair said after a moment of thought. “Nothing odd like last year. But…”
“But what?” Alimonster said quickly, suddenly intrigued. “Come onnnn, c’mon c’mon c’monnnnn TELL ME!” it begged. “You’ve piqued my interest! Tell meee~ I’ll never stop buggin’ ya if ya don’t, and you KNOW I can keep buggin’ ya…”
“Ugh, fine.” Alistair shifted in his seat, annoyed at the Alimonster’s heckling. “I met a really nice woman and I think I love her.”
“…Really? What’s she like?”
“Well… she’s very sweet… a wonderful personality, very nice as well… her name is Josephine.”
“Is she that one with the sexy legs?”
Alistair gave Alimonster a stare. “…What?”
Alimonster gave him a stupid grin in reply. “I said, is she the one with the sexy legs? If she is, then…” The creature gave a whistle. “You have good taste in women.”
Alistair glared at the creature. “I can hardly believe you’re only made of my bad thoughts.”
Alimonster grinned widely and absentmindedly licked its lips with the tip of its long black tongue. “Well, I’ve grown a lot since I first came about, y’know… I may have some other stuff in me, now. Maybe even a Nightmare.”
“Well, let’s hope all this perversion isn’t from me,” Alistair snorted as he laid back in the grass.
“…Tell me more about this Josephine lady.”
“Well… she’s a Frenchwoman… she came from Paris and she’s working as the camp therapist this year… hmm… You know what she looks like, right?”
“Yeah, I saw her a few times in some memories that ended up in the cave.”
“Isn’t she pretty?”
“Yeah… and her legs are amazing,” Alimonster agreed, a lustful look on his face. Alistair made a face of disgust.
“You really are disgusting, you know that?”
“I know.” The Alimonster grinned again. “I can’t help it, it’s all that badness you put in that cave. Besides… you just called yourself disgusting.”
“I only called a part of me disgusting,” Alistair defended, which made the Alimonster give a long, cackling laugh.
“Sure ya did!” he snickered. Then a few sounds of stirring animals came from the cave. “Aw, damn it.” Alimonster stood up on his back feet for a few seconds, stretching a bit and waving his tail through the air, before he shuffled back to the cave. “Welp, I guess those little animals have gotten restless… see ya,” he called to Alistair as he entered the cave, using his hands and tail for light.
“’Bye, Alimonster,” Alistair said, beginning to levitate up through the tree canopy again.
“’Bye, me,” the Alimonster snickered again, and then blew out the fire in front of the cave.
