Here, conductor. Have a gift outside your door wrapped with glitter and neon paper. The tag says 'From: You know who', and 'To: The darlin' rival readin' this'. Wonder what's inside? It doesn't look THAT big... The tag also says to wait until christmas. But who knows?... I mean, if you opened it now, who'd even know about it? SURELY nobody's watching, right?
The Conductor is currently at home with his family! He has been for a couple days, now, for the holiday season. So, admitingly, he has to do a double take when he answers the door and sees... a present? He's already got a hunch on who sent it, but the tag confirms it. How did he know where... actually, it might be a bit obvious with the only three trains in the world nearby. Oops.
He looks around the area, before picking up the present and heading back inside, setting the present under the tree with a couple of others. He didn't think that Grooves would... mmm. Now he feels a bit bad he didn't give anything in return... but oh well. Might be a bit too late for that now.
awww conductor its going to be fine, don't worry you can get through this! *hugs*
He suddenly roughly grabs onto the anon’s arms, stopping them from hugging him. His grip is very rough, and uncomfortably tight. “ Don’t touch me. ” His voice is stern. Luckily, though, after pausing for a second, he lets go.
The Grudge hisses, its four arms reaching out and roughly shoving the anon away from them. “ HANDS OFF. ” You get the feeling that it wants to do a lot more than that.
…Maybe you shouldn’t try and initiate physical contact. And maybe you shouldn’t try to hug him without asking?...
He pauses for a moment, but he eventually speaks up after a few long, long seconds. “ ...I’m... ” He glances over at his Grudge, it looming over him. Its mouth hangs open, its single eye staring right back at him. He looks away from it again. Don’t focus on that. “ ...I could be... better. ” Understatement of the year.
The Conductor has been waiting for this for a few days, now. Although he wasn’t going to admit it, he was a bit... nervous. After all, he had been getting caught up in... quite a bit of things, this year, and had to quickly shove out a movie with the few months of spare time he had. And, of course, once it was done, he had went on a ( failed ) vacation. But that didn’t stop this from being in the back of his mind, and now the day had finally came.
He had arrived at the studio just in time, and the awards quickly began.
And after they had began, the Conductor soon learned the results, and who had won.
But it wasn’t him.
It was... Grooves.
DJ Grooves.
Just like award 42, he had ran out of time, and lost. He told himself he would avoid this, but here he was, with a silver trophy. One of the few things he had thought he still had, and just like that, it was gone. He was... just... mediocre.
He had tried to keep his emotions under control, but unfortunately, no matter what he did, his Grudge had ended up lashing out. Multiple birds were harmed, though none killed, luckily.
But the entire studio knows, now.
And he couldn’t do anything about it.
The Conductor had ran away with his silver trophy before his Grudge could harm anyone else, and quickly back to Hat Kid’s ship.
Everything he does ends in disaster. It’s all his fault.
Why does he even bother anymore?
If everything he gets involved with ends horribly, what’s even the point?
His shadow has came alive, forming a being of it’s own– gigantic, with two sets of arms and sharp claws. It’s mouth glows a bright gold color, and there’s one single eye in the back of it’s mouth, bloodshot red.
Although the newly formed Grudge had tried to consume the Conductor, luckily, Hat Kid and Blaise’s Shadow were there to stop it. For the time being, the Conductor and his new Grudge will be in Hat Kid’s ship. Just… to calm down for a bit, after all of that.
…Though, it’s not like he’ll be able to stay for long.
After all, the Annual Bird Movie Awards are coming up.

His shadow suddenly becomes a hell of a lot bigger. A bright, glowing golden eye stares down at the Conductor, and it moves on it’s own.
( WE’RE ALWAYS THE BAD GUY TO THEM. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS. NO MATTER WHAT WE DO. )
“ Always... always the bad guy. ”
( THEY WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND. NEVER NEVER... )
“ ...They never will, will they? ”
( THEY WILL NOT. BUT WE WERE JUST DOING WHAT WAS RIGHT. AREN’T YOU TIRED OF IT? )
“ So, so tired. ”
( I KNOW. )
( BUT WE CAN SHOW THEM. )
( WE WILL SHOW THEM ALL. )
( WE NEED TO LEAVE. )
“ Leave..? ”
( FURTHER IN THE BASEMENT. FURTHER, FURTHER... )
