{scene: The Bar. Where else?}
{bgm: Your choice. Surprise me with something.}*And an astoundingly good-looking man walks into the bar, with a twinkle in his eye and a--*
Woman: Pauzer! Stop doing the author's job for her!
Pauzer: Aw, but Maine, I was just about to get to the part where the beautiful maiden with the emerald tresses walks in...
Maine: Huh?
Pauzer: That's you.
Maine: Oh. *lightbulb* OH! *stars in her eyes* Pauzeeeeer...
*Ahem. Anyway, Pauzer and Maine walk in. Pauzer is a red-haired man in rich but oddly shabby-looking clothes. Maine is a cute, green-haired girl with pink eyes. They're here because I'm a little tired of writing them into serious contexts.*
Pauzer: Serious? You keep writing in potty humour!
*Hey, you! I have to stay behind the fourth wall here!*
Pauzer: Fat chance. Your humour's either very meta or very childish.
*Shut up.*
Pauzer: Make me.
*Did I say Pauzer was dressed in shabby genteel clothes? Scratch that. He's running around in nothing but spotted boxers.*
Pauzer: *crossing his arms in front of him* See what I mean?! >_<
*MUWAHAHAHA!*
Maine: *waving a finger* That doesn't look like staying behind the fourth wall to me.
*...dammit.*
Maine: Give him his clothes back, now...
*Okay, okay, Pauzer's wearing clothes. Same old clothes.*
Pauzer: THANK YOU.
*At a neighboring table...*
Laurence: *raising an eyebrow* What's going on here?
Shinobu: Meta-humour.
Laurence: What's that?
Shinobu: Ever watch a Warner Bros. cartoon?
Laurence: More than a few times.
Shinobu: Have you ever seen the one where throughout the entire cartoon, it's Daffy Duck being harassed by a pencil that keeps erasing things and drawing weirder things into existence?
Laurence: ...and it turns out that the the cartoonist behind it all is Bugs Bunny?
Shinobu: Yes, that one.
Laurence: What about it?
Shinobu: That's Meta.
Pauzer: *running around shaking his arms and legs, which have squirrels clamped to them* GET THE SQUIRRELS OFF, DAMMIT! SQUIRRELS DO NOT HUMOUR MAKE!!
Laurence: ...I see. ¬¬
Shinobu: We're in the middle of a bad Humour Meta-Fic. Might as well make the best of it.
Laurence: Hey, aren't you that blind mazoku general of Phibrizzo's?
Shinobu: Priestess, actually. But I prefer to think of myself as the City Mayor. Aren't you a big ball of angst that calls itself Lina Inverse's little brother?
Laurence: I prefer to think of myself as a SEXY BEAST. XD
Shinobu: *raising an eyebrow as she lifts a teacup* Well, somebody's forgotten that he's only twelve years old.
Laurence: *pouting* At least it's not shota-con.
Shinobu: Doesn't matter, really. Now that the current storyline's shifted from Great Humongous Angst to Wacky Humour, you're obsolete.
Laurence: Am not!
Shinobu: Are too.
Laurence: Well, if I am, you are too.
Shinobu: *sighs* I suppose you're right. *sips tea-cup* You know, she's had me in planning since before the Mirror Wars. It sort of sucks to be moved from concept space into story space, only to be made obsolete in, like, three posts.
Laurence: Agreed. On a related note, shall we shag now or later? *wriggles an eyebrow*
Shinobu: *raises an eyebrow* You do realize I'm a mazoku, right? As in, I don't reproduce sexually?
Laurence: Not in fanfiction! :D
Shinobu: Ah, yes, that's right. In fanfiction, everything can have sex. Even rocks.
Laurence: So...
Shinobu: No thanks. I think I'll just angst about my lack of exposure for a while.
Laurence: Damn. *short pause* Come to think of it, the 'blind villain' gig was done better by Rezo, wasn't it?
Shinobu: Shut up.
Laurence: Haha! Somebody's not an original idea~~!
Shinobu: Oh, right, as if being the younger sibling of a canon character wasn't already done to death.
Laurence: At least I'm not blind.
Shinobu: ...shut up.
Laurence: How is it that you've seen WB cartoons, anyway, if you're supposed to be blind? That doesn't make any sense.
Shinobu: *wagging a finger* That's...
Laurence: ..."a secret"? Dear God, is there no shred of originality in you at all?
Shinobu: ...I was going to say "That's simple to explain," but now I think I'll just let you rot with curiosity.
Laurence: Oh. Well, I don't care about it anyway. *crosses his arms* There.
Shinobu: Fine, fine, I'll tell you. It's to do with the Astral Plane.
Laurence: How so?
Shinobu: Mazoku exist on both the Material Plane and the Astral Plane. My form on the Material Plane is blind; my form on the Astral Plane is not. Thus, it's more like I'm blind in one eye and not in the other.
Laurence: Oh. Well, that makes sense. Sort of.
Shinobu: The real question is how a human like Rezo could walk around without falling over everything.
Laurence: One word-- sonar.
*And on that thrilling note, we leave you!*
...I like meta.
