Stop a bunny from sabotaging the floats, and...

[ he sighs ]

Replace the guy who was corrupted by taking his role as the mascot Nyanperona.

[foodbin]

...Please tell me you had to do that part specifically.

[leaberator]

[ he gestures at the tattered remains of the mascot costume on the floor wordlessly. ]

[foodbin]

Did you have to do a cheer?

[leaberator]

[ you know what. solely because she's his girlfriend and he really did memorize it: ]

The Soaring Male's Spirit! The Heart-throbbing Sparkling Prince! [ he throws his arms dramatically and nearly hits her in the face as well as hurts himself doing it. worth it ]

[foodbin]

[She’s definitely laughing even if he nearly hits her in the face, it’s fine.]

That’s definitely what I’m calling you from now on.

[leaberator]

I don't think it has anything to do with the mascot. I think it was just that guy's catchphrase? He said it like... five times.

[ said got it memorized man. ]

[foodbin]

That definitely sounds like something from a kids TV show.

[leaberator]

Could be. I think I had an entire gaggle of kids around me like... all the time. And Nyanperona fights bad guys with candy bars, so.

[ it was. a thing. ]

[foodbin]

Lots of kids, constant sweets... All I’m hearing is that you were made to play the part.

[...More seriously, though.]

So, I talked to Four, like we went over.

[leaberator]

[ oh my god does he get away with not explaining the stabbing. YES ]

Yeah? What'd she say?

[foodbin]

[SOON!!]

...She said she wouldn’t tell anybody that she was repartnered. So - if you, Shirasu, and Saix don’t tell anybody... It should be okay.

[leaberator]

Seriously? Why?

[ axel. just be grateful, you dick ]

[foodbin]

[She smiles.]

I convinced her it was safer for everyone involved.

[leaberator]

How? Are you blackmailing her or something?

[ he's. joking ]

[foodbin]

Oh, darn, you caught me.

[Even as she shakes her head.]

No, just... I’m not sure close is the word I would use, but we’re friends, and I told her I thought that people would want to keep her safe because they felt badly that she still has to be tied to Shirasu. Which - isn’t a lie, for the record.

[leaberator]

I didn't say anything.

[ though the raised eyebrows probably say it all. ]

Alright. Well... that worked out, I guess?

[foodbin]

Yeah.

[After a moment:]

Even if anything did happen to him... You’d be okay.

[leaberator]

[ ...hm. he smiles, a bit ]

You sure sound oddly confident about that.

[foodbin]

I wouldn’t call it oddly.

[...]

I was chosen as the Nebula this week.

[leaberator]

That's the partner role, right?

[ :o ]

[foodbin]

[She nods.]

So... Just make it past Thursday, and I’ll make sure you’re fine.

[leaberator]

[ he laughs a bit, and then winces because wow that was. a bad idea. anyway ]

Aw, man. So I got this partner thingy for nothing?

[ he pulls his sleeve back to show off some friendship bracelets. ]

[foodbin]

[She pauses, but her voice is more curious than anything.]

What’s that...?

[leaberator]

One of the rewards we got from our little quest. It's like that thing that was used when we had four people up on the chopping block.

[ i was cucked no matter what ]
