[video] - What happens when a shark loses all his teeth?

[marinebiting]

[The feed turns on and there's a very frazzled looking Gotsumon on the screen.]

Um...I think there's something wrong with Ryoga.

[She turns the D-terminal to focus on her partner, who's just sitting on his bed and looking...well, not quite right at all. People who know Shark know that he's the three C's - cool, cocky, and confident prideful and has a near perpetual look of annoyance on his face. This Shark looks defeated. And depressed. And if one watches closely, he might be shaking a little.]

He's been like this for a while now and he won't snap out of it! I...I hate it!

[The D-terminal jerks a little, as Gotsumon stops herself from throwing a tantrum, which would not be a very pleasant experience for viewers.]

Is anyone else having problems? I think I saw some people mentioning others acting weird and stuff. Does anyone know how to fix him? I'm tired of him acting like a weakling. He won't leave me alone, he won't leave the apartment, and this...this moron won't even duel me!

[That last point is probably the most alarming to her. Deep breaths, Gotsumon. Deep breaths.]

...I just want my Ryoga back.

..He won't even duel?

Did you finally start beating him, then?

[video]

[marinebiting]

Not even close!

[Normally she doesn't like admitting defeat, but it's kind of obvious Shark surpasses her in dueling.]

Re: [video]

[fuhrinkaed]

Oh... then I guess he just snapped. Oh well.

[video]

[marinebiting]

"Oh well?" "Oh well!?" is that all you have to say?

Re: [video]

[fuhrinkaed]

Is it my problem if he can't be assed to do anything about whatever problems he has?

[video]

[marinebiting]

I admit he has problems, but this isn't natural for him!

[She glares right at the camera.]

If you're mad about when you got chewed out by him, then fine. I don't want your help anyway!

Re: [video]

[fuhrinkaed]

And from the sound of it, he doesn't want anyone's help.

Don't you think you're just meddling in something that's not really your business anyways? I mean--if he wanted help, he'd ask, right? But instead, you're being nosy. Right? So... what are you getting out of it?

[video]

[marinebiting]

Because we need each other, that's what! You don't know Ryoga like I do!

[Because what is Shark asking for help?]

Re: [video]

[fuhrinkaed]

No... I guess not.

Ah, well, he did teach me to play a neat game. What do you need done?

[video]

[marinebiting]

Just...ideas on what to do.

............

Okay. I got one.

You're going to need a pizza. Not one of the round ones, one of the square ones. Deep dish, if you can.

[video]

[marinebiting]

Square pizza, got it. What do I do with it?

Re: [video]

[fuhrinkaed]

Roll it up like a newspaper and hit him on the head with it whenever he starts being emo until he stops.

[video]

[marinebiting]

...

[There aren't any words for this.]

...do the toppings matter?

Re: [video]

[fuhrinkaed]

He's a Shark, so of course you'd want fish on top.

It's gotta' be anchovies. [Nodnod.]

[video]

[marinebiting]

Okay uh...thanks.

Re: [video]

[fuhrinkaed]

Anytime.

If you want, I could take a crack at him myself.
