*(Sneakily, a Pippins tried to steal away a phone.)

(— @ask-some-random-pippins)

*Jongler only notices Ranpips once they’ve grabbed the phone out of their hand.

What da- give that back ya little rat!

🎶(Shit, they’re getting away!)

[* Sour has shown up just outside the Mike room, but they're acting strange. It's like he can't even walk, with how much he's stumbling around. Eventually, they opt to lean on a wall for support.]

...Jeez. Who would've thought that this possession thing would be so difficult? The kid's fighting like hell...

[* Seems like Seraph was able to possess someone, after all. It still sounds weird for this to have been said in Sour's voice, however.]

Where's that crystal? C'mon, I don't have all day. You've still gotta dig me up, too.

@sour-capn-cakes

*Seeing someone who had tried to strangle him was scary enough for Battat, never mind them shambling about like the undead.

D-didn't you get the message to leave us alone?

*But it quickly dawned on Battat as soon as "Sour" mentioned possession. Did... did Spamton actually possess that kid?

*Battat and Jongler were both disturbed at most, Jongler a little more so. It was, however, deeply upsetting for Pluey. Sure the kid was a jerk, but he didn't deserve this.

Well... I still don't know where it is. Wait, thinking about it, I might have left it in the... Cold Place.

Well, either way, we's gotta get youse body back home, with or without crystal. Best we's giddyup to dere, even if we's don't find da crystal...

[static-air-waves]

YOU KNOW WHO HE IS?! REALLY?! Tell me, what is-

Bats, youse should cut off dis weirdo. I doesn’t trust a guy like ‘im…

NO! I’M SO CLOSE! What are your conditions?! Please, tell me, I need to know!

[static-air-waves]

We’s ain’t doing dat. I’m making damn sure of it dis time.

…He’s going to kill me if I don’t…

…Well, Mr Z, youse should clarify if youse is gonna kill dem only if dey make a fake promise, or if dey refuse to do it at all.

[* There's an Addison in the studio. He looks a little nervous at being here, and is trying to stay out of everyone's field of view, occasionally summoning pop-ups as needed. He's holding a plain looking cardboard box that hasn't been shut properly.]

@beige-janitorial-services

*Jongler’s on the watch for the intruder when they notice the sound from the pop-ups, and goes to investigate.

‘EY! What’cha doin’ round ‘ere, sales boy?

Been told you’ve been stickin’ that pointy nose of yours where it ain’t belong…

[static-air-waves]

GET OUT OF HERE YOU CHEAP IMITATORS!

Bats, you realize da multiverse is a thing, right?

BUT THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE MIKE! AND THAT’S US!

[static-air-waves]

[* There's a speaker darkner in the studio. It looks like he was wandering around before stumbling upon the Mike room.]

Huh. Alright, this room might work... it's far from where Cap'n is, at least...

@sour-capn-cakes

Wh- who let you get in here?! This room is private! You hear me?! PRIVATE! GET OUT!

He’s a kid, youse doesn’t need to shout at him!

Well why the hell is he here anyway?

*Pluey sniffs Sour curiously.

[static-air-waves]

Hey Any !

Spamton here! Spamton A. Spamton!

Hey! Yeah! None of us here at the Spamton Value Network have been given any updates in... Years.... Do you guys know where Spamton is? I think he's talked about you, right? Was it you? This... This probably isn't the right number... If you guys know where Spaneton is, please call us back.

We're always accepting callers!!!

Please call back.

I haven't seen my family since... Oh Spatmon.... 2021...

-With best deals, Spamton A. Spamton! Spamton A. Spamton! With the Spamton Value Network!

Well, we’s saw two Spamtons lately, our Tenna’s Spamton found him recently and since dipped, so we can’t get nothing from him. And there’s also this little kid who’s pals with our Tenna, but I don’t think he’s old enough to organize a “value network”.

As for him talking with us, I think youse means Mike, ‘cause none of us was close with him. Sorry, we ain’t Mike, we’s just a squad of impersonators.
