Everyone has been left a big box of nothing but styrofoam peanuts. Each.

Knight stares at the box. His time in Swapfell had taught him what this material was. He’d thought it was facinating at the time… But that was before his latest round of ‘Upgrades’. Jack had highlighted a number of Knight’s failings. They had decided to fix that. Make him stronger, with some new skills. And to throw some delicious irony in there. A smile that literally went from ear to ear spread across his face uncertainly. Knight climbs into the box and begins batting at the peanuts playfully.

Maxwell nudges the box with his toe and sighs. Yet another thing in this damnable place he couldn’t reach. It’ll probably just stay there.

Mother Death (Alysia) chuckles and picks up a tub of voltgoat-hoof-glue. She was going to use the styrofoam for a sculpture. She’d chuck the box at Knight later. Let the court cat have something to sit in.

Minty is baffled by the styrofoam. He pours it into a draw to use later when he figured something out. The box would be useful as a portable tentacle biome.

Pupson ponders it for a while… He wraps the styrofoam in fabric and pads it with beefalo fur. This would do nicely as bedding for Alexis. After he pulls her out of her own box before she eats any. Seriously anon. Don’t give a literal baby styrofoam.

Red takes a sample of the styrofoam for scienticic analysis… And dyes the rest confetti colours. Red now has a box of brightly coloured styrofoam peanuts to throw in the air when he’s excited and Alexis isn’t around. What have you done, anon?

WX78 pours the styrofoam into Rough’s box and uses theirs for storage.

Rough creates a little styrofoam pit in their room to play in.

Rough has achieved toon cryptid status in the modern au.

[peridotswallow]

Rough is watching events carefully, hoping to glean something about their own kind. Were toons usually this dramatic? That explained a few things.

I take it as a compliment everytime someone says I'm unfinished or incomplete, because that means I've got room to change.

Rough Draft

[peridotswallow]

Wilson: If you had to pick between either Rough or WX-78 to live, which would you pick?

Pupson looks at this ask with horror. “How dare you… How dare you! You can’t ask me to choose! You can’t!”

He continues ranting, repeating himself frequently. In his mind he tries to test whether he could choose, if he had to. War breaks out in his mind. Neither side can make much ground. Yes, WX was without empathy but he could never betray them. There was more to the robot then that. And Rough, oh he hadn’t known him long but the precious child had made such an impression on him.

His ability to speak breaks down as emotion begins to surface. Why did he let himself get so worked up about this? It was just a question. Too late. He’d already started to cry. The children were his pack… He was mentally incapable of choosing and even the thought was deeply distressing.

Rough rushes to comfort their daddy as WX looked on. The robot had been sure Gearish would sacrifice them. They’d have been extremely displeased if Rough was chosen as the sacrifice… It was touching that he couldn’t choose. WX starts cooking bacon and eggs. They weren’t good at comfort but they could cook Gearish his favourite.

Balloons! Balloons have been tied to every hound in Wilson's pack! Balloons tied to their tails, to their legs, to their snouts! And the mound itself... Balloons flood the inside of the very mound! A hound mound full of balloons! It seems impossible that someone could have managed to do all of this! The level of speed and stealth required to have accomplished such a feat without being seen is unimaginable! But it's no mystery who did this. They all can smell his scent clearly.....

Rough laughs delightedly when they see the balloons. Pretty bright colours!

Hound Wilson isn’t so pleased. He’s the only member of the pack that can safely traverse the floating objects and get them out. He thinks it’s funny but He’d rather his pack remained unharmed. It takes a while but the balloons are safely ushered out. Well, most of them. He left the ones tied to hounds for the sake of amusement.

Rough immediately adopts all the balloons and they are scattered across and around the campsite.

octavio and marcus get closer to the place that the robot tell them, both of them are kinda sad for all the situation, when they find the camp, marcus Whistle to be hear

A bird lands next to them and turns into Rough. They bounce excitedly on their feet as WX-78 marches over.

*Is it him? Is it? Is it?*

“WELL? WHAT IS THE VERDICT?”

Rough noticed their body language and stopped bouncing.

*Is something wrong?*
