like, listen, the best dynamic for tma/wtnv crossover is cecil being cheerfully oblivious and jon being at first all serious & sinister like he is abt statements and then gradually being more and more confused by this strange happy man. like. for example.
jon: statement of cecil palmer, regarding…
cecil: oh, idk, i guess i went to target last week?
jon, ominous: …regarding a trip to target. statement recorded direct from subject.
cecil, with that ‘never mind all that’ tone: o…kay! so as always the target greeters saw me at the door and were all like 'our dark lord shall feast on those who enter here’ and i was like 'great! do you guys have those infuser water bottles?’ because carlos saw some on tv and was telling me–
jon: i’m sorry, the target greeters said what?
cecil: you know, their standard greeting! it’s been standard since the 90s, when they changed it from 'beware the burden your soul will bear’!
jon, getting less ominous as he gets more confused: …right. continue?
cecil: anyway, carlos was telling me all about how proper hydration can help deter throat spiders–
jon: throat what.
@someillplanetreigns. Knowing that I will die without a TMS/WTNV crossover makes me long for immortality.
@nildespirandum the solution must be to write it yourself (I can’t wait!)
Things this would include:
Cecil interrupting his own story at the most objectively unnerving points to make remarks along the lines of: 'oh, you do know that when I say cart I mean what you’d call a trolley?’
Jon: 'yes. So, about the cart or trolley… ah… devouring someone?’
Cecil: 'just that week I’d warned my listeners to bring snacks to appease the carts! Sometimes it feels like I’m talking to myself.’
Jon tripping on the American pronunciation of Cecil, and Cecil finding this funny and sweet and commenting on it in the exact same light tone he talks about throat spiders and carnivorous shopping carts.
Jon: 'I couldn’t even identify which Fear has greatest dominion in this town…’
Cecil: 'is that why parking charges are so high?!’
