[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]

[ 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!!

[featherduster]

... What's "this"?

[acemedium]

Your bad day! What else?

[featherduster]

[ #mayano ]

Oh... that.

Look, the details don't matter. I'll feel better tomorrow, okay?

[acemedium]

[Don't make her facesmush you again]

[YOU'RE SITTING DOWN, there's no escape]

If it's bothering you that badly, it matters a lot.

[featherduster]

It's nothing you or anybody can help with, though. And it'd just trouble you if I told you.

[acemedium]

You can get it off your chest! [Instead of, you know, freaking out at the possibility of fakeder]

And it troubles me when dummies don't tell me things, not the other way around.

[featherduster]

[ YOU REALLY DON'T WANNA KNOW, STAR......


He watches the ceiling with rapt attention for a while, while deciding how best to hedge ]


... It seems like any time I remember something new, someone else has died. So I guess I'm just tired, that's all.

[acemedium]

[Plops on the bed beside him]

Does that happen a lot?

[featherduster]

[ Scooting to give her room... ]

All the time.

[acemedium]

[Hands another donut]

Why?

[featherduster]

[ He takes it, but he can't eat donuts and talk about genocide, sry bro ]

Because that's what my planet is like. And because Knives is making good on that promise he made.

[acemedium]

[Picking up a donut for herself then putting the box on his lap]

[She figured it was worse than wild west outlaw business if he's that upset]

You mean... wiping out all the humans so his girlfriends can go free?

[featherduster]

Yeah. That.

[ Closing his eyes and letting out a loooooooong breath ]

He's doing a really good job so far.

[acemedium]

Oh. [WELL THEN...]

I guess... there isn't really anyone else but you who can stand up to him?

[featherduster]

[ YEAH..... ]

No. It's just me.

[acemedium]

[Pauses to mull this over...]

What if you lured him into a lightbulb? Could you do that?

[featherduster]

[ Hahahahaha....... ]

No, I don't think that'd work, unfortunately...
