Pre-Wenclair. Enid is looking for her roommate.

Enid: Hey Yoko, have you seen Willa around?

Yoko: Yeah, I just saw Horror the Explorer scurrying away from your brothers.

Enid: Oh gawd. What did they— are they okay?

Yoko: Don’t get your tail in a twist. They’re fine.

Enid: *relieved sigh* Thank the moon.

Yoko: Better than fine, in fact. I’m pretty sure they got paid.

Enid:

Enid: What?

Yoko: Yup. They were counting this fat stack o’ cash. Being your bestie and all, I asked them about it, but they just muttered something about “emoted.”

Enid: *confused* Emoted?

Yoko: I think? Coulda just sounded like it. Sorry pup, they ran off before I could get more.

Enid: No, it’s okay Yoko. Thanks.

Enid: *mutters to herself* Emoted? Emo Ted? No… emo Ned? That’s not— wait.

Enid: *covers face* Emo-Nid! Aw, dangit! Those are so flipping embarrassing!

Yoko: Whuh?

Enid: Argh! Okay. *drops hands* Remember like, two years ago? My emo phase?

Yoko: OH YEAH! Fun times!

Enid: Fun times? You mean CRINGE times! Oh my god, my chances with Willa are gonna be sunk.

Yoko: Hey hey, pup, I don’t think you have to anything to worry about.

Enid: *hopeful* Yeah? Why do you say that?

Yoko: When I said she was scurrying earlier, I meant it. It was like watching a goth Gollum fleeing with their Precious.

Enid: 😯
