Chapter 2: Dream a Dream of Life Gone By [19: What’re Friends For?]
DING-DONG~! BING-BONG~!
“Good morning, everyone! It’s now 7 am and officially daytime! Be sure to have a beeeeea-utiful day~!”
Being woken up by the announcement was becoming far to familiar already. I guess it’ helpful, it’s not like I want to miss the breakfast meeting we always had, even if I didn’t really eat food.
Once I had powered back on, I make my way out of the room only to find something going on in the hall.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
“Cody! Open your fuckin’ door!”
“Itsuki? What are you doing?”
“The hell’s it look like I’m doing? I’m trying--BANG!--to get--BANG!--Cody--BANG!--up!”
“Is he really still asleep? Do humans always sleep this much?”
“No.”
BANG!
“CODY, GET YOUR STUPID LARD ASS OUT OF BED ALREADY!”
Instead of Cody’s door opening, another one did.
“What’s going on out here..? I was trying to get back to sleep...”
“You’re still asleep, too, J? You guys should be getting up.”
“I need to conserve my energy. If another murder happens and I don’t have the energy to investigate, we could all die.”
“All you did last time was withhold important information until the last minute. Go back to bed, I’ll be done once I get the lard ass up.”
“Whatever...just make it quick.”
J slips back into his room, softly shutting the door behind himself.
“Wait, shouldn’t we be trying to get J up, too?”
“Don’t give a shit.”
BANG! BANG! BANG!
“CODY, GODDAMN IT!”
The door finally opens.
“Oh...hey, Itsuki. Wereya calling..?”
“Jesus Christ, did you just wake up? You look like shit!”
“Mmmngh...maybe...”
“Why the fuck are you--”
Itsuki cuts himself off and he looked like he just got an idea.
“...hey, you wanna go make some candy?”
“Oh, yeah, that sounds nice. I’ll go get started and meet you there.”
Cody suddenly seemed wide awake. Or, well, as awake as he normally looks. He even moved faster than he normally did, going right for the kitchen.
“You two must be good friends if you can figure him out so easily.”
“Huh..?”
“I’m not friends with that stupid lardass! I’m just trying to make sure he stays alive so he can die before I do! Don’t be fuckin’ stupid, Kas! Fuck you!”
Itsuki stormed off, moving to his kitchen and pulling his hat down a little to obscure his face while he grumbled.
“Uh...sorry..?”
