[Merch Craze!]

[alldevouringabomination]

[It has been a little while since Kirby realized he had a problem. The assorted shiny gems and rocks in his house are finally mostly put into a little earthen shed Kirby managed to quickly cobble together after the compulsion to Hoard said shinies left him.

Wiping his brow, Kirby turns to his house and enters.

What in the... What's going on here?

He just emptied his house, and now it's filled with stuff again? Kirby's eyes go wide as he sees that said stuff bears his likeness. Even the cloud outside looks like him.]

Ehhh?

[The big beanstalk outside has a big painting of Kirby, as he finds out when he leaves his house and looks at it.

Needless to say, Kirby's been thrown for a loop.]

Comments

[tricksandmischief]

Are they all figures of yourself...?

[alldevouringabomination]

[As Kirby digs through the merch, it becomes apparent that yes, yes they are! He unwittingly holds them up for Loki.]

[tricksandmischief]

How very strange.

[alldevouringabomination]

[Kirby finally looks at the feed and sees a new guy.

He waves to the new guy.

A plushie of Kirby falls off of a tall pile and lands on Kirby's head.]

[tricksandmischief]

[He chuckles.]

And what exactly are you?

[alldevouringabomination]

Kirby!

[And a shirt plumps in front if Kirby, startling him.]

[tricksandmischief]

I am Loki... and you appear to be overburdened.

[alldevouringabomination]

[That's putting it mildly. Kirby sighs.

Quite sharply. To his detriment, another pile of him-lookalike toys topple over right on top of him!]

Oof!

[...maybe he should avoid his house for now?]

[tricksandmischief]

You do not live with a young girl, do you...?

[Because he saw someone with a similar problem some weeks ago.]

[alldevouringabomination]

[Kirby shakes his head. As Loki can see, Kirby is alone.

Well, right now he is.]

[tricksandmischief]

Then there must be many of you being... overloaded.

[alldevouringabomination]

[Kirby scratches his head. He'll just have to take your word for it.

A pink balloon floats by the window. Kirby doesn't notice.]

[tricksandmischief]

You are very quiet...

[alldevouringabomination]

[And with that, Kirby crawls out the window.

The view follows Kirby, who finds a couple of posters featuring him on it just outside said window.]

Ehhhh?

[A moth whose wings look like Kirby's face lands in front of Kirby. Kirby looks uneasy.]

...uuuu.

[tricksandmischief]

[Loki raises an eyebrow.]

Is this a typical day for you?

[alldevouringabomination]

Uh!

[Kirby shakes his head vigourously. He takes out his handy-dandy tablet-like device and draws his house, only it is lacking in him-themed objects.

As if to punctuate this, the fuzz in the sunlight briefly takes on Kirby's likeness.]

[tricksandmischief]

Perhaps somebody is playing a trick.

[alldevouringabomination]

[Kirby looks around.

Then looks around some more.

...nope, still popular.

A refrigerator magnet with a picture of Kirby falls on him head.]

Ee!

[tricksandmischief]

[A raised eyebrow.]

Are you all right...?

[alldevouringabomination]

[Kirby looks up, and it's just not his day - a big number of magnets are falling for no apparent reason!

He's not putting up with it this time. Kirby shall Inhale the entire wad of magnets and spit it off of the little sky island holding his house.

That told'em!]

Uwah!

[tricksandmischief]

That is certainly an impressive defence mechanism.

[alldevouringabomination]

[Kirby does the equivalent of the "hands on hips" pose. He can't help but feel some pride at Loki's words; that mechanism served him well all his life.]

[tricksandmischief]

Perhaps you are more then you seem.

[alldevouringabomination]

[Kirby does, for lack of a better word, a shrug. He's used to being underestimated.]

[tricksandmischief]

[Loki can relate.]

[alldevouringabomination]

[Because this virus won't let Kirby have nice things (metaphorically speaking) a big coat, fluffy and pink, shall fall upon Kirby.]

...

Errrroomm!

[That coat is being shaken off quite quickly.]

[tricksandmischief]

Perhaps you should seek some shelter.

[alldevouringabomination]

[Good idea!

Kirby will flee into his house, dodging falling assorted pink things!

...only to have the pile of stuff that was already there to bury him again.
