#cheap knockoff

[mr-ants-newscast]

[*The camera has switched perspective. There are a couple dog boys running about the green room, some resting from their little excursion and some dragging out their new 'friend'.]

[*The 'leader' of the group is excitedly talking to Ramb,]

...So, what is it you wanted to show me?

♪♬♪!

Nabbed a target, eh? Hm...

...I dont think the ol' wanker was being literal when he said to bring the bloke tied up in a pretty ribbon.

♪♪....

No, no, I can't imagine he'll be upset.

What's the plan, then? Water damage? Brass knuckles? Non lethal shots?

...Or, are you supposed to kill this bloke?

[*The dog boy shrugs. Ramb sighs, stepping on his tiptoes to pet the Shadowguy, who quickly crouches down to make it easier to reach, his small raggedy tail wagging.]

You lot are so unorganized...

//Ramb AND the Shadowguys can now be sent asks!

Also @its-just-showbiz new thread can start here heh.

[injuries-in-dust]

Low key obsessed with these Amazing Digital Circus knockoffs that are available on amazon. (Support the official merch!)

Like, close but no cigar. What is going on with Pomni's forehead? Kain doesn't hold a microphone and his colours are way off and Ragatha is WAY off.

This one is worse, somehow. Pomni is all kinds of wrong, why is Jax shiny? Why is Ragatha radioactive?

This Caine plush is terrible, made worse when compared to the genuine Caine plush on the right.

These seem the worst of all, in my opinion, all the colours feel off, the painting is a joke, and the figures are way too blocky to even come close to being correct. This was the best picture they could take and they still look cheap.

Ragatha is just okay, Zooble and Bubble are passable, but why is Gangle a peppermint candy cane?

And why is everyone obsessed with making Kaufmo figures? he never actually appreared in any episode.

HELLO, NEWSBOY. I BELIEVE YOU HAVE SOMETHING OF MINE.

- @its-just-showbiz

Ah, its you, hellooo...

Something of yours? Why would I...

[*Someone slides a clipboard to Ant, which he reads, before laughing.] Ah, Ah! I see now. Right, forgot I had the boys do all that...

[*...Seemingly forgetting some of his camera manners, he takes out and lights a cigar, taking a blow before speaking up again.]

What, y'want him back? How much.

[mr-ants-newscast]

Hey, princess~

Just a quick question for you. You mentioned something about "paying the hell up" if I wanted something uncouth from you, right?

How much?

How much are you selling yourself for?

- @its-just-showbiz

Oh, you're back? What, nothing better to do? Must be hard, having a studio thaaaat run down and quiet...

...We can figure out the payment details over mail, sweetcheeks. Call up the studio, someone'll answer.

...Plus, it's not really 'selling' myself. The offer doesn't go out to EVERYBODY. Is that a new concept to someone like you?

[mr-ants-newscast]

[...there's a knock at the door.]

[Being out in the snow makes him feel weird now, especially considering he's about to meet an alternate version of himself. He's been here before. Except now, he's not going to kill him. That's for later.]

[...in his hand, he holds a bag containing an expensive bottle of wine. In his pocket, a fat wad of cash.]

- @its-just-showbiz

[*A dog shadowy in a muzzle opens the door.]

[*...It glares at the tv there, snarling at first...]

[*...Before slamming the door in his face.]

[*...And a couple minutes later, Ant is stepping out, in just his undershirt and with his extra arms strapped on at the ready in case this bitch tries to double cross him.]

...You got the money?

[mr-ants-newscast]

Hey buddy, looks like shit's startin' to fall apart, huh? Didn't take long. We'll see which rival studio comes out on top, chumps.

oi, where'd the fuckin' cat go?

-fellblog's Jongler

[*Gun shoved right in this fuckers face lol, ]

[*Pluey hides behind Jongler, letting him deal with it.]

...Run along, if y'knows what's good fors ya.

[mr-ants-newscast]

Not to question your taste in men, sir, but... is there a reason your feelings towards your cheap knockoff have, uh, shifted a bit?

Look, at the start of this month, when the idea of ... rubbing wires together for payment was first floated, you said and I quote, "Pardon. I have DIGNITY." Then you stated your counterpart was so ugly and desperate, he had to resort to his staff for satisfaction.

And now you're calling him all sorts of pet names, saying his "whoreish energy" has to work every once in a while, saying he can call and arrange for some personal activity with your secretary... then saying you're only offering this to him because you have "standards".

Are things alright, sir? Do you think you might need to lay off the alcohol?

I dont... get why you're all so interested in my relations with that man.

Nosy. Mind your business, folks.

...Though, you might be right about laying off of this stuff, ugh...

[mr-ants-newscast]

helloooooooo mister ant! ready to make another news report for the audience? bit of a doozy this time around! (but do fact-check after me, sir, i am quite bad with names)

tenna (ask-tenna) and jevil (ask-the-chaoschaos) had something of a lover's quarrel, which resulted in jevil having his arm bitten off. talk about a bad romance!

viewers harassed a different tenna (tvt1me) into a mental breakdown and an alcohol binge. he's on the recovery now, but sheesh! some people...

a certain repairman (ask-a-repairman) is trying to broker a deal with a certain tenna (its-just-showbiz). details still unclear. though if i were you, id try to get the scoop on that typewriter of his (or just steal it)... it might be connected to tenna's break from reality, and it doesn't seem like the old toolbox is in the best mental state to stop you either

most relevant and concerning to you! tenna's back at his studio with a full repair, and might be a little Incredibly Mad that one of his mikes is gone. though he says he has more "pressing matters" to attend to...

that's all for now! take care and stay informed!

>>>your nightcrawler

Well, shit! Thats a real good recap. You lookin for a job at our studio, kid? Call my agent, we can talk about it later.

ANYHOO, lets read this... hum, hum.....

...HAH!

Jeez, talk about a toxic relationship!

Shit, those guys are really supposed to be the BETTER, or, more adjusted version of us...? What a joke!

Cmon, a little alcohol never hurt anybody! What a lightweight....

...And uh, as for that last point...

...Well, I think I'm getting to that with the next thing in my inbox, here-
