*The phone rings. It sounds… It’s different from usual, but familiarly… abrasive.*

*The voice on the other end, even though all the glitches, sounds pained. Physically, emotionally, it’s hard to tell. Perhaps both.*

[[Cathode]]. I;M S[[we’re sorry, this caller cannot not be reached at this time]], 1;M SO $O S[[sorry we missed you, come back again!]]

*There’s a frustrated groan, then the sound of plastic hitting plastic again, quickly followed by a sharp intake of breath, as if they got hurt.*

S- S.. SO[sorry sight]

*He sounds like he’s about to break down crying after that attempt.*

ST 0P… L3T ME S4Y IT IN MY 0WN [daily Wordle]S…

P… PL-[[pretty please]]…

*That final plea doesn’t seem to be directed at Tenna, hushed even through the glitching.*

- @foresakensalesman

?!?!?!

[The phone picks up by itself again. Tenna picks up, a jolt passing through his chest like a sparking wire. It was him again...]

[He almost didn't want to say anything. After the way he snapped at Spamton the other day, he wasn't sure he could talk to him again. Those attempts at apologizing weren't lost on him... It actually floors him, hearing the stuttering, the panic in his voice. He absolutely NEEDS to say something.]

Spa—

[And stills at what sounds like a smack?]

I-I—

[His entire body tenses up.... A hard swallow as he clutches the phone tighter.]

Y-You... don't need to apologize.

...

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have.... acted. The way that I did.

[A beat as he holds the phone tighter, listening in.]

[Then two. That last plea wasn't lost on him, either...]

...Is... someone else there?

[foresakensalesman]

*He snapped out of it as Tenna spoke, asking his question.*

NO. NO, N0T 4NYM0R 3.

*Explaining the whole past ordeal with his benefactor, his god, it didn’t seem useful right now. Besides, they had left him behind a long time ago. Abandoned. Like-*

*Snow… the smell of copper and oil in the air. Broken glass.*

*NONONO now was NOT the time!*

WHY-

*Hold on, why was Tenna even speaking so gently to him? After he’s messed up so horrifically bad?*

WHY 4R3 N; T U [[fits of rage]] RITE N0W?

[mrphosphors]

["Not anymore?" He ponders... He's practically pulling on the phone cord. He so badly wants to pry about who that could have been... but...]

[He gets distracted by Spamton's question.]

Mm.

[Now, to Tenna, it felt so silly to ask that... But he's genuinely asking?]

...

I yelled at you. I-I shouldn't have... talked to you like that.

[He wants to wear his heart on his sleeve as little as possible. The truth is, while it still hurts to hear their daughter is... no more... in this other universe, he also can't bear to hear Spamton in pain from it... There's a lot of conflict going on... But he's steeling himself]

[foresakensalesman]

((Ooc: tw for suicide ideation. Again.))

*He’s genuinely confused by the response.*

WHY… N0T..?

*To him, Tenna was completely in the right for yelling at him. Sure there wasn’t actually anything he could have done to save their daughter, and sure his Tenna had literally died right in front of him at that time, but STILL! He shouldn’t have just forgotten her! And for it to slip his mind for almost a month?!*

*He’s shaking. He doesn’t even noticed. Tenna might not be enraged, but he is. He should’ve faced far worse consequences than a broken jaw.*

*As it turns out, he had been in quite the impressionable mental state for quite a while now. He was incredibly quick to take Tenna’s words from earlier to heart, to adopt the sentiment as his own. He shouldn’t have just left her. And even beyond Tenna’s own sentiment, he should’ve never been pulled out of the snow and away from Tenna.*

*He should have died there he should have died there he should have died there he should have-*

[mrphosphors]

[His lip is curving to a pout. He can't even muster a response. Those stretches of silence are becoming all too dangerous now.]

...

...

S-Spammy...

[There's the nickname again. Comes out strained. Even like this he can't help but be vulnerable...]

Y-You don't... deserve that. I'm... sorry.

[His voice DEFINITELY quivered now.]

[mrphosphors]

OOC: THE REFRENCE HEHE

Mo0no was actually very excited for the first challenge, pumping up her fists and hyping herself up until it changed to- COOKING!? SHE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO DO THAT!!? OH GREAT HEAVENS! WHAT SHALL SHE DO!

"COOKING?? but I don't even eat- oh phooey..."

She skedaddles up there anyway, nervously awaiting instructions. Good thing she doesn't have a mouth because she would look very terrified right now! She tries to pretend she knows what she's doing by taking the spatula and doing what she thinks cooking looks like. This will DEFINITELY make them believe that she's good at this.. totally.

((💙i had to with the ref hehee))

[Oh boy. He has a sneaking suspicion she might not know what she's doing... but he just can't prove it.]

[Regardless, this next part... They don't really do this on cooking shows.]

Okay! For this game.... you're going to need to DODGE FLAMES!

[So much for cooking...? He's got a giddy smile on his face after saying that. He seems genuinely excited.]

[mrphosphors]

Well- if we are picking on your air waves from wherever our voices come from, there is something I wanna try- bare with me for a second-

*Anon's static doubled in volume, and something was semi-spaat out of their form.

*While made of the same stuff as the anons, this one was a lot more Addison-like, with a high count of green staistic

???: Where... Where am I... Hello? Can... Can anyone hear me?...

! [His antenna stand up.]

Woh!!!

[Tenna circles you, screen glinting, almost in awe?]

That was AMAZING! You absolutely MORPHED!

Can I...

[He tries to poke your shoulder.]

[lense-d-tail]

*Tenna's finger went through the static a bit, but couldn't get pasted some inner membrane. whatever was beyond it was incomprehensibly cold. It was already shrouded by darkness despite barely even grazing.

???'s anon, who snickered just a tad: Yeah, you do not want to know what's on the other side of that. Last guy that ended up stuck in the realm I just yanked the Addison before you [gesters to the recovering poor sap] had a bad time. I am keeping a surface for your sakes. If Gift-to-Chaos anon ever decides to show their face here, I'd advise against staring into the void.

???, groaning from the impact: Tenna- they didn't morph... I think... I think they dragged me into an anon body... Again... (At least I have limbs this time- wai- I have limb?!)... Why- why don't you know they can do?-...

*??? Managed to force themself up, legs shaking like a new born deer's. Seems it's been a while since they've been able to stand.

???: You're not the Tenna I know... Are you?...

[mrphosphors]

[He SHRIEKS upon feeling the cold graze his finger, pulling back immediately. He tilts his head as the anon explains and gestures to the Addison.

[He steps forward on instinct when he sees them shake, arms out... And takes in ???'s question.]

O-Oh! The Tenna you... know? [He crouches down. Curious. Precarious.]

What's... your name?

[lense-d-tail]

Lense: I'm taking... Taking that as a 'no'... My name is Lense... Lense D. Tail...

*Lense took Tenna's hands, grip far stronger than intended; yet, far too unstable to be reliable aid to keep herself upright.

Lense's Anon: Lense is from a different UA of this place, The Rule Maker ((The world's Mod/OP)) is currently on hiatus due to health reasons. Lense been in the void a while, so I'd figure I'd bring her here at least until it's over so she didn't lose themself in the nothing.

Lense's anon: or at the very least, she doesn't forget how to walk having been without a body for months.

Lense: I- I haven't exactly been to other worlds before... So forgive any abnormal questions that are probably common sense to you... so... I guess a good start is... when am I?... Back home it was... Roughly 1999? Soon to be the year 2000 if my home's anons were anything to go off of... How far forward in time did I get thrown?

[mrphosphors]

[His hands flip to go under her for arm, trying to help hold her steady. His screen darts between the anon's explanation and Lense's words.]

Oooh, so a different universe....

[He turns back to Lense.]

Lense! Fantastic name!

WOH! 1999? Oh, that takes me back... [A sigh. Contentment. Reminiscing.]

Well, right now, my dear, we're in the year 202X!

[mrphosphors]

*Gift-to-Chaos anon has arrived, sunglasses taped extra tight to their head and blocking out their eyes to an excessive existent.

In my defense- the guy that got involved in the Void Incident was asking for it, and I didn't mean for him to be trapped in the void for three days.

On a related note- Uh Tenna, do by chance you know what happened with Ramb when your dark fountain/world was closed?

(please tell me he's okay...)

Anyway-

Got any favorite foods Tenna?

GIFT TO CHAOS ANON! HELLO!

[He's not getting the cue, screen peering through your glasses. Of course, not blinding you. Just.... annoyingly taking up space.]

Ramb?!

I actually... Don't know what happened.

[His lip curves a bit into a nervous smile.]

I'm sure Kris still has him! After all, someone's gotta need a plug....

R-Right?

[He doesn't sound confident in his words.]

...

(I hope he's okay too.)

ANYWAY! FOOD! I LOVE THIS QUESTION!

I don't really NEED to eat...

...But I LOVE strawberry ice cream.

And those really hard star-sprinkles.

:>[^3]

[mrphosphors]

So Tenna, what's the complete list of people you have crushes on and or romantic feelings for?~

We know Spamton is a bit of a love-hate situation, but we know that you do miss your mailman

It seems like you have feelings for your new Lightener, I'm sure he'd like you too~ (he seems to have a thing for loveable Dorks that know how to cook to some degree)

And I highly doubt the entire Mike situation is entirely platonic~

Anyone else I'm forgetting?

[A defensive huff.]

First of all, I DON'T miss that mailman. Not at all. NOT! A HAIR!

Second of all, CRUSHES?! I do not CRUSH (often). I ENTERTAIN. I-

I-I...

.... Ahem.

You didn't miss that many, anon... //////////

((💙mod bonus:

....

[throws my phoebetenna at you]

((💙I NEED TO EXPLAIN!!! PHOEBE'S MY NAME ONLINE BUT THIS IS MEANT TO BE AN OC SPECIFICALLY FOR YUMESHIPPING. KIND OF A SONA? IDK I HAVENT RLLY USED HER YET... I JUST REALLY LOVE TENNA))

[mrphosphors]

((Oop/Mod, I gotta know

Who's the good Pupper that's in one of your cosplay pictures?))

((💙hiiii omg!! :) it’s my sister in law’s dog Rollie!! (pronounced like roly-poly)

hes a year or two old and he is super affectionate! me and my husband have dogsat a few times and we had the pleasure of sitting him when he was still a puppy! he used to nip a lot back then but every time we visit he just likes getting on top of people and licking them hes genuinely so cute

i think he's a pug mix? enjoy him!

[mrphosphors]

Formerly-Hugged anon: Nah Tenna, you're good. Even if you WERE dented, I could probably just-

*Anon healed Tenna for 500HP.

So... I'm guessing it's usually Mike that does the repairs?

I know that at least at one point, your contracts weren't exactly fair-

But has Mike ever gotten more than a day off? Ever??? I know he/they do a lot for you- but have you ever given such treatment back?

* [💚(+500 HP) HEALED!]

Thank you! Ahhh, that feels better....

Yes! Mike is my BEST confidante! The only one I trust with any sort of repairs! Him and any of his shapeshifting forms!

... Day off?

[He tests the word on his mouth, like he's never heard of it...?]

.... I don't know what you mean by that! Mike LOVES TV and he loves working here!

...

:>[^3]

[mrphosphors]

Is- is the soul thing something you know Tenna-

Or is that- is that included with what The Knight told you pre- betrayal on their end?

How much DO you know about souls?

[A busy tone all of a sudden, like somebody hung up. Ominous.]

[mrphosphors]

[mrphosphors]

"I'm always feeling lucky!"

She straightens up and shakes her body to shake off the nerves.

"bring it on! I can handle anything"

She crosses her arms in false confidence. Maybe if she pretends she's cool then people will actually think that way.. she must appear cool so she can make friends!

You! Are in!

For a LUCKY TREAT! I have an elaborate game for us to play!

[He fiddles with a little remote..... Out comes the Gaunlet of Terror. Swinging mace.... A spear..... More spears.... Flames.... A cannon... And a DOG?!]

[He freezes.]

... That's the wrong game. Sorry.

[Away it goes with another button press. Now it's just a staircase, leading up to a set.]

It's time.... to flip to the COOKING CHANNEL!

[A PHYSICAL CHALLENGE! right away... Brutal. /j]

[mrphosphors]

google "pipis popper". trust me

[A fluttered gasp!] This is what came up!

What a WHIMSICAL and INVITING nature! So CUTE! My TUBES are FLUTTERING!

...

H-He... fires babies?

:>[^C]

[biblically-accurate-star]

Wait a sec- Don’t you…

ARE YOU NOT THE ONE PUTTING PIPIS IN THE TV SLOP?!?!?

[mrphosphors]

It’s called an INCUBATOR.

What's... your name?

[mrphosphors]

Hey Tenna, did you know that in another universe, one of the ghosts you now reside with was/is a a famous TV Star themself?

WOH!!!

REALLY?

What a LUCKY! guy I am that Susie helped surround me with such a lineage! (Even if it's a different universe!)

If I'm lucky, maybe enough time with me will get me a new co-star in THIS universe. ✨

///// Just a thought....

[mrphosphors]

*Ripped-Soul anon just looked up at Tenna

Tenna- I just respawned two feet from you.

Guess it runs on RPG logic

Or maybe it's just me that one time...

And now I'm morbidly curious what happens when a Darkener or a Lightener absorbs the soul of an anon.

But I am not gonna be the one to test that.

[He turns around.]

[Double take before he registers you're there. A GIANT sigh of relief.]

Gah...

I almost set on fire, I think!

... But I'm relieved you're alright!

Wooow, so it's possible you could respawn again?! You really are magic! 💫

And now I'm morbidly curious what happens when a Darkener or a Lightener absorbs the soul of an anon.

Huh! I wonder too!!!

Probably an eldritch beast wrought with determination that can do virtually ANYTHING, including use the powers of the "absorbee" themself!

... Or so I've heard.

[mrphosphors]

Formerly-Hugged Anon ((who def wasn't accidentally typing "formally" this whole time)):

Looks like we're both stuck in the ceiling now Tenna

Sorry about mentally breaking you- didn't think that the double-reality attack would be quite a laughing stock [pun intended]

No- no hard feeling right?

(then again, more ways to be evil have been unlocked)

But seriously, are you okay? I can imagine going THROUGH THE CEILING can't be pleasant.

[He might as well be cosplaying a bat. Wedged through the ceiling with only his upper body peeking out is... new]

[After that recovery? He stares daggers into you....]

[...But he can't hold it. His lip curves into a smile. Then, a howl of laughter]

PFFFF! That was FUN!, actually!

(Someone's gonna have to fix that ceiling, though.)

Do.... I have a dent...

:>[<^3]

[mrphosphors]

Get this rat out of my house.

I'll deal with him.
