Fandom's Come Knocking
Okay, did you guys know people in this world make stuff of some of us? Apparently the yetis make toys of us on their own if none exist but also imitate ones that do exist if kids want them.
[Branch is hopping along a table of merch that is meant to mimic exactly the merch of him in stores. A lot of it is actually bigger than he is. He shows off the dolls with his tiny little wrist comm. They look even weirder at that perspective.]
Now that I know they're not ritual effigies, the toy thing is kind of funny. Weird, but funny.
Look at this. Look.
[He holds up his comm so the camera picks up some absolutely hideous toys.]
Like, who is this guy? I wouldn't even know who this was if it wasn't labeled with my name. Like, some random guy from the village maybe. I've never dressed like that in my life.
[He points the camera at another.]
This one is the closest to actually looking like me and it still has the random skull symbol hair thing. What's up with that? [A pause as his face comes back in view. It screws up in thought.] ...Okay, actually I don't hate it.
[Because even though he's a much happier person than he once was, he's still slightly an edgelord. Just slightly.]
[He looks upward and similar skull designs suddenly appear in his own hair, thanks to his ability to change its color. Maybe that explains why some of the dolls have black hair and some have blue (if manufacturing inconsistencies aren't to blame).]
[(It's actually not but he's not about to explain the subtleties of troll coloration when it comes to emotional state.)]
Seriously, you should check it out, and see if the yetis made stuff based on you. It's hilarious.
[ooc: If none exists IRL, people can make up imaginary merch, though all merch at the Pole would be for kids or teens. The stuff made purely by the yetis would largely be decent-looking and accurate, uglier stuff would be based on designs existing in the game world because well, that's what the kid pointed at in the store. Googling themselves would produce other merch for other demographics, as well as let people find out about any internet fandom. People can feel free to thread hop a lot because the point of this is probably going to be a lot of pointing and laughing.]

You're so young.
[It isn't meant as an insult, there's no condescension in his voice. It's stated very simply, because it is just a fact to him. It's coming from millennia of existence, not the handful of decades that some human adult would have on her.]
I'm quite aware of what I can and can't protect him from, and I've no desire to explain myself to you.
[If she runs off to tell Aziraphale, so be it, but he won't have this conversation while a child that he barely knows.]
private
If you respect him, don't make his decisions for him.
He's your friend. When the time comes, wouldn't you rather be there for him?
[She knows she shouldn't push any further, so she'll leave it at that.]
private
Tell him about the damn ducks if you want. It's none of my business.
[Little baby bitch boy is throwing a tantrum.]
private
I'm not going to tell him about the ducks. You asked me not to.
[She says it like it's that simple. And for her it is.]
private
Don't sound all sincere and be nice to him when he's cranky, that's the worst!!]
Ugh, humans are impossible.
[Now he's going to finally gather his one stray braincell and hang up.
Finally.]
