[Day 103-104, ASS O'CLOCK]

[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]

[NOPE, picks it back up and holds it up to him expectantly]

You should think about swapping Pound for a cute girl sidekick, too.

...Or get one for each of you. That might help.

[featherduster]

[ j'refuse ]

... I dunno about cute girl sidekicks, but there's these two insurance girls who stalk me everywhere.

[acemedium]

[Don't make her forcefeed you]

Oh? Do they give you a kick in the butt when you need it? And keep Pound from brooding too much?

[featherduster]

[ Well considering the last thing he remembers of Meryl Stryfe is her flINCHING AWAY FROM HIM IN TERROR — ]

Not really. No.

[acemedium]

[That awkward moment]

I think that's part of the problem, there.

[featherduster]

Maybe. I'll take it into consideration.

[ COUNTDOWN TO LINA MEMORIES: ......... ]

[acemedium]

We should get special communicators, so when you go back, you can call me when you're in a pinch! Or just feeling bad.

[featherduster]

... D'you think they'd work?

[acemedium]

Why not? Our souls are shattered in magic glass!

[featherduster]

[ WELL............... ]




That's as good a point as any, I guess.

[acemedium]

[Her logic is flawless]

I'd come with you to keep you in line, but I've already got my own spiky-haired dork to look after....

[featherduster]

Just worry about looking after your own spikey-haired dork, boss. I'll be fine.

Besides, you're absolutely forbidden from coming to my world, anyway.

[acemedium]

What if I want to become a gunslinging outlaw like you, too? I could be... Eveningstar the Hurricane!

[She's kidding, probably]

[featherduster]

[ N...O....... ]

Forbidden.

[Wow, Buzzkill]

I'd put you to shame!

[acemedium]

Heh heh... I'm only kidding, of course.

But you should visit me instead.

[featherduster]

... If I've got time after saving the world, I wouldn't say no.

[acemedium]

I'm sure you will!

You're a lot like Poochy, you know.

[featherduster]

I'm gonna assume that's a good thing.

[ But that man destroys bread. He's a monster.............. ]

[acemedium]

[Just like you!]

Yep! Pretty much all my memories of him are us taking on impossible, hopeless cases.... Everything's always against us and it never seems like we have a chance at all. He gets discouraged all the time, too, because it's just one thing after another and he's a pretty hopeless dork... And just between you and me, he doesn't really know what he's doing most of the time, even if he acts like he does.

[Also, just like you????]

[featherduster]

[ wOW??? ]

So you're looking out for him, huh? And that's why you're in my kitchen in the middle of the night with a watering can.

[acemedium]

Something like that. [DON'T FORGET THE DONUTS!!!!]

You know what, though? No matter how bad it gets, he always comes through. You're that kinda guy, too.

[featherduster]

[ WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO HIM........

It's a long, silent moment before he responds, possibly like he's choked up and trying to grapple with it. ]

... Thanks, Star.

[acemedium]

[What a loser.]

[But she's smiling softly! It's a little different from her usual grins and smirks]

So I don't think you should stress out too much about that Sporks creep.

[acemedium]

--Now eat the donuts already! I worked hard for these, you know!

[NO SHE DIDN'T]
