[retellers]

[ they teleport in the room in their usual sparkles, but they look around with a pause ]

Wow, that felt weird. [ they look at Kano finally and wave, almost uncertainly ] ... Hi.

[suddenlybees]

Huh? Is it a new weird? A bad weird? Or have you just never come over here to play before?

[ WHAT IS WEIRD?? why are they uncertain... feels bad ): ]

[retellers]

I haven't come over here before! The passage between both is way weirder than the rest.

[ they lean towards him a bit ]

Um... Is it rude if I ask how you're feeling?

[ he? died? ]

[suddenlybees]

[ He leans back reflexively when Swan leans forward, but straightens up right after ]

Aah, sorry, sorry~ I should've called you over to play last week if I'd known! But, like, Goat asked the same thing when we met again? I said it was a little cold.

[retellers]

Oh, you should put on one of those animal outfits! They're warm. [ swan, no. they reach out to poke him because he leaned away. what is a personal space ] And they're cute.

[suddenlybees]

Eh.

[ He lets Swan poke him, presumably to prove that he's not a ghost or something. ]

No, see, I already got a hoodie. Isn't this one cute enough?

[retellers]

No. [ blunt??? ] And you're the one who said it was cold! I'm just offering a solution.

[suddenlybees]

[ WOW his hoodie is plenty cute, thanks ]

Sure is some solution... Anyways, how come you don't swap into one of them? Or are the robes like a comfort thing?

[ He would get it. His comfort hoodie. ]

[retellers]

Oh, we're not supposed to wear other things. Like a work uniform? Same with the mask. I could put it on under, I guess, but it'd be so hot. I'd melt.

[suddenlybees]

Is that another one of those dumb rules? That Tiger wouldn't tell me who came up with them and why you're all so hell bent on following them?

[retellers]

Well, because the Realm goes all messed up when the rules aren't followed?

[ they say this like it was obvious ]

[suddenlybees]

A uniform wasn't in our rules! You have other rules? That's not fair- what are they? I wanna know.

[retellers]

Oh, we have our own set. Like how much we can say about people who are on our team. [ a beat ] About nothing at all, by the way. That's the answer to that.

[suddenlybees]

Boo... That's no fun. Are you at least getting along with them? The people on your team? Do you get to play a lot with them?

[retellers]

Mmm... some of them yes, some of them no. [ they sound a little wistful ] Some just don't like me that much.

[suddenlybees]

What???

[ Kano is so!! affronted!!!! ]

Who doesn't like you?! What's not to like??

[retellers]

[ swan is. a little surprised and genuinely touched??? horrible. they grin at kano ]

Well, you know, some people are wrong. It's okay! I'm best friends with one of them, and that's what matters.

[suddenlybees]

[ Swan is perfect in every way. ]

Yeah, some people are just dead wrong, they're so wrong it's embarrassing! Who's your best friend?

[retellers]

I can't say their name because blablabla outing our teams, but they're nice! And friendly!

[ this helps 0% ]

[suddenlybees]

You know that rules out like 80% of the people here, right?

[retellers]

You can try to guess based on that!

[ they're? a cheater? ]

[suddenlybees]

Chiron!

[retellers]

Kano, I can't confirm any names. [ but the reflexive "huh?" face they made probably said something. this is how they're going to end up punished ]

[suddenlybees]

[ SCREAMS, NO!!!!! ]

Haha~

[ He looks very pleased with himself... meanwhile I'm crying bc Swan... no... ]

How 'bout who doesn't like who? Who do I gotta haunt?

[retellers]

[ they laugh a little ]

They're still on my team, so I can't say. [ they lean forward to be in kano's space because it's funny ] I didn't think you liked me enough to haunt people for me!
