The Room was silent, Jimmy just stared at the plank of wood on his lap with a face full of incredulity, after a brief moment Jimmy finally composed himself and before he could ask the question of if he had completely gone off the deep end he heard the voice again.
" Yes you can hear my voice and to answer your other question, probably"
Jimmy's face stiffened with an even deeper look of incredulity, finally he spoke not knowing who he was supposed to be addressing.
" Umm... this is kind of a new experience for me so you gotta give me a moment....may I kindly ask WHAT THE CINNAMON TOAST FUCK IS GOING ON?!
The voice once again sounded off in Jimmy's head but with a more playful tone.
" Well good sir, I would like to welcome you into the snuggly straitjacket club!"
Jimmy looked at the plank of wood in his lap and felt that it was shrugging at him, then he thought to himself 'Wait how does a plank of wood shrug at me! Even more, how do I know that it is shrugging at me!'. Jimmy shook his head off these thoughts and focused his attention back on the plank of wood before speaking.
"Umm... alright let say i have been off my meds for too long, you are something that will be replacing my constant shadowy harassment, then how may I address you, and can you please give me some clues as to what is going on and who are you, but with you know, more detail...."
The room fell silent again, for a minute or so Jimmy sat there contemplating what he was doing with his life talking to a plank of wood, but soon he heard a voice in his head again.
" Well, it is kind of hard to explain what I am. Think of me as an extension of you but at the same time a completely different entity. As for a name I don't have one... wait give me a moment let me think of one."
Jimmy ignored the extremely vague answer to his question, he stared at the plank of wood and he could have sworn that he could see the wooden plank take up a thinker's pose. After sometime Jimmy heard the voice again.
" I got it, how about you call me Ban!"
Jimmy sat on the floor quietly for a few seconds before taking a deep breath before speaking.
" Alright Ban, you asked me before if I wanted to be your little brother, what's up with that? What does being your brother entail?"
Ban thought for a second with what Jimmy could only describe as a goofy look on his wooden face, Then Ban spoke.
" You will get a lot of benefits, such as being the only brother of the great and mighty me. Besides you've already lost it so what do you have to lose?"
Jimmy was going to argue, till he remembered that he was currently holding a conversation with a plank of wood. He thought to himself that he couldn't really fall any deeper off the deep end, so he stared at the plank of wood and spoke.
" Sure why not, what do I have to lose? I am already sure that I have lost my mind."
Ban seemed to be really happy and excitedly spoke.
" Great, now that we are brothers, how about you take this mighty figure for a stroll to let me have a look around outside"
Jimmy simply looked at Ban, finding it more disturbing that he was now getting used to speaking with it.
"Where do you want to go?" Jimmy asked.
Ban simply answered with the most annoying answer that you could give someone looking for an opinion.
"Surprise me!"
Jimmy sighed.
