#the one where they're corralling the warden fwhip gave him

[fogwitchoftheevermore]

anyways on the topic of watcher/listener sausage i think i’ve finally figured out what i think he has going on in there. which is that after a series of jokes spiraled a bit too far he brute forced his way into literally changing his species and is now the same species as the watchers/listeners. none of them know how he did this and as such can’t undo it and just have to deal with him now.

this would technically make him a watcher, which he is for a while, but after a: getting a grasp on the… i guess the word is politics? of the watchers and listeners and b: getting bored, he just starts calling himself a listener and not going to any meetings or anything.

at some point this information makes its way to the listeners who are like “wait when the hell did he switch sides what” so one of them just shows up at his house to get a read on the situation, only to learn that he functionally hasn’t changed. and the conversation is as follows:

listener: what do you mean you’re a listener, no you’re not. sausage: how do you know though? listener: because i’m a listener? sausage: ok, and i’m a man, that doesn’t mean i know every man in the world, you can’t know every listener. listener: i literally- that’s not how this- *sigh* you literally can’t be. you can only be a listener if we make you one. sausage: ok, that is literally not true. listeners wouldn’t exist if only listeners could make new listeners, there had to be a first one. and i am a listener. listener: but how? sausage: ritual. listener: that involved...??? sausage: listener: this is such bullshit, i had to gouge out my eyes to become a listener, you can still see, this is nothing. sausage: *pops out his glass eye* sausage: did you know your process has a lot of loopholes
