[Day 103-104, ASS O'CLOCK]

[acemedium]

[Someone's in the Cat dorm... sneaking, silently creeping....]

[Except not really, she just tripped on her own feet and crashed on the ground]

[AND SQUEAKED]

Comments

[featherduster]

[ Well it's a good thing only half the people in this dorm sleep properly anyway. A head appears around the doorframe a few seconds later (HAIR NOT SPIKEY??????) ]


[ Squ...ints... ] ............ Boss? How'd you get in here?

[acemedium]

[SPRINGING UP TO HER FEET]

[She can't see very well in this dark but she points the general direction of his voice and stage-whispers:]

I found you!

[featherduster]

Yes? I live here?

[ TURNING ON THE LIGHT god ]

Why are you creeping around in the dark to begin with?

[acemedium]

[There's a box of donuts and a watering can on the counter behind her]

[She's dusting herself off]

I wasn't creeping, I was looking for the light switch!

[featherduster]

[ He doesn't immediately beeline for the donuts and that's possibly the most harrowing part of all. Maybe he's dying. ]






Did you bring a watering can?

[acemedium]

[Going over to retrieve said things]

We need to talk!

[featherduster]

You did bring a watering can.

[ NO SORRY HE'S STILL HUNG UP ON THIS ]

[acemedium]

As your big bro, it's my duty to make sure you're properly watered.

[POINTED LOOK UP AT, does topping work now] Let's go into your room.

1/2

[featherduster]

[ No. This is it. This is the final absurd jigsaw in the unfathomable puzzle of his life. Millions of people are dead and Maya Fey is standing in his kitchen in the middle of the night with donuts and a watering can. ]

[featherduster]

[ CRACKING UP ]

[acemedium]

[This is worse than she thought.]

[He's gone insane!!]

Wow, I've really got my work cut out for me....

[featherduster]

[ It's admittedly not the sanest laughing fit he's ever experienced but that's ok

Leaning on the doorframe while he tries to stifle it.............. ]

[acemedium]

[Comes over and awkwardly pats his back while trying to shift the donuts and watering can so she can manage this]

Okay, Lackitty, let's go inside.

[featherduster]

[ Okay, okay. Okay. You know what. Okay.

Taking her by the wrist and hauling her towards his room before they have to explain 2am donuts and watering cans to anybody ]

[acemedium]

[Yes, good]

Big brother is here!

[featherduster]

[ He flops down on the bed once they're inside, bonelessly. There's a shard on his desk, like he hasn't taken it or else yanked it out right after taking it hahahaha......

Also ignore any (mostly empty) liquor bottles ]

Yeah. Thanks for dropping by.

[acemedium]

[Big brother sees everything]

[She examines the room and him quickly.... before coming over and extracting a donut from the box and hovering it near his face]

First things first. Eat this!

[featherduster]

[ Taking it without any fuss ]

You managed to get these in a hurry...

[acemedium]

[But are you eating it]

I'm a professional!

[featherduster]

[ HE IS, he can't resist even now.............. ]

I never doubted you!

[acemedium]

[Waits until he finishes]

[Then raises the watering can to pour a little on his head...]

[featherduster]

[ CHEWS, SWALLOWS, and—akfsjkfhsjk HE'S ON HIS BED!!!! ]

Boss...

[acemedium]

[HANDS ANOTHER DONUT]

I guess I'll save the rest of the water for later...

[featherduster]

[ TAKES IT. Eats it... ]

Are you gonna tell me why you're here?

[acemedium]

Why do you think I'm here? [Oh good, her topping powers still work!]

I'm getting to the bottom of this!!
