Now that he's not up top over looking your work, doesn't he just creep you out! I mean with the looking over his book at you, and the way he just drops in to watch you in your back yard.
I know, why couldn't they make him happy? Like he could be reading, and when you come by, he could be happy to see you, instead of pissed off that you're distracting him. And he could greet you too! I mean, who said he could live in my house in the first place? :)
(going into a creativity spin where the New Rock is in fact Evil Rock Doppleganger, working for the Juju Bandits and keeping Old Rock imprisoned somewhere, forced to work for some nefarious plan...)
He seems to be grumpy and disapproving at the same time. He also came back without his sense of humour. Methinks some badness happened to him while he was away.
I agree. He never seems happy but is always just glaring at me. It's a relief when he picks up that book. I used to love him, now I wish I could drop a tablecloth on him. He gives so little iMG that I would find the loss worth it if he left home. Also, he won't tell me what he is reading.
He is a spy!! How else would he know if anyone has come into our yard. So that is his "big brother is watching you" look. When he picks up his book and puts on his glasses, he wants you to think that he is not watching..... but he is, we glitch are smarter than we might get credit for!!
when he drops from nowhere, he is jumping from your street to your yard and back again! That's quite a leap. I tried bribing him with candy but he wanted nothing to do with it
He reminds me of my old maths teacher. That was about 35 years ago and he put me off maths for life. Will the rock start throwing pieces of chalk at me and rapping my knuckles with his book too?
Pyrrhocorax, I guess you just gave me that hint I was looking for. Now I know what the Nefarious Plan is: Evil Doppleganger Rock is using the superior intelligence and knowledge of Old Rock (it was always studying, you know?) to build a Magicmountanizer with which to collect Img from unsuspecting glitches. I am sure that sooner or later it will try to trick us into giving it our hard-earned imagination, then reroute it to the Magicmountanizer, and use it to grow to monstruous proportion... to look sternly at us FOREVER from the sky above Ur!
Which, of course, brings us to two things:
1) We must locate poor Old Rock and save it.
2) The Giants surely won't take this hybris lightly...
