* a videocall appears

* annoyingly loud and exciting music blasts from it...

* ...and out pops out a salesman drawn in black and white

SPAMTON RETRO * HELLO HELLO, HELLO EVERY!!!!BOD!!! THAT'S RIGHT. RETRO IS HERE!?!

SPAMTON RETRO * SO, A LIL' BIRDY TOLD ME TO SLIDE RIGHT UP TO THIS ADRESS RIGHT 'ERE...

* he winks at the audience (?)

SPAMTON RETRO * SO, I DECIDED TO OBLIGE! AND BOY WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE!

* he takes a good look at Dove, then turns back to the audience

SPAMTON RETRO * IS IT JUST ME, OR DOES IT FEEL MOODY IN HERE?!

!?!

[ * Ok he's. Very confused and surprised!! How the hell did he do that. Dove looks around with a very "what the fuck is going on" face when Retro "talks" to the "audience", he's all fluffed up too. Dove defense mode. ]

WHO THE [[HELL]] GAVE YOU MY- [[Retro]]--??? Who even are you [[talking]] to.

[caged-mourning-dove]

* A PNG of an Oreo, but the background is the placeholder transparency pattern

. . . Yeah this. This an [[Oreo]] alright.

While playing games in the living room, your controller gets thrown beneath the couch. Past the dust and grime, reaching for the controller, you instead pull out a long piece of paper.

You understand this strange script quite well, reading it in your mind.

"Dear Lancer,

Remember when we lost your bike?"

The letter goes on,

"I had no clue how you managed to get it all the way into the forest, but you did.

Lodged itself in-between the roots of a tree.

We had more fun trying to find it and dig it out...

...than the bike ride back home."

The final part isn't written in that special code.

"I don't know

How you would read this

I hope this finds you nonetheless."

[ * He thought at least this would distract him a little from all the omnious messages he has been getting, even if it was a bad idea to stay awake so late the night before having school again, whatever, he will have enough time to regret his decisions in the morning. ]

[ * He growls and complains when the controller falls under the couch, he searches for it, he finds the note, reads through all of it and... ]

" . . . "

[ * He quietly sits there while the pause screen lights up the dark room, his hand shakes a little as he squeezes the note and keeps it in one of his pockets. ]

[ * ...Maybe this is his sign to finally go to sleep. ]

Hi Dove!! How do you feel about the other members of the fun gang?

They're. . . [[Cool]].

Jevil, he's a [[Little demon]] but. he's not that [[Bad]].

Everyone [[Judges]] him so harshly

Tenna. He has been really [[Waiting]] his whole life [[Alone]] for us. . .?

. . . Too [[Energetic]] and [[Positive]]. I say.
