Hello Everyone and Welcome to this Blog. This is an ARG of sorts for my AU of Deltarune that focuses on Servant Mike, the forgotten 4th member of the Mike trio.

Anyone may interact and asking questions is encouraged as I will be responding as Servant Mike. There will be additional content released as time goes on, be it art I do, animations or short stories from Servant Mike's past.

I hope you enjoy your time here, this is going to be very, very interesting.

Snow, Water, Frost

TV World is located on the doorsteps of a Tundra, yet despite that, I never felt like TV World was particularly cold. The constant bright lights, overheating technology and fuzzy floors kept everyone relatively unaware of the snow inches away from the backdoor of the studio. That doesn't mean we didn't have cold nights though.

Jongler was always the most affected out of all of us. Their knee would ache something fierce whenever the temperature dropped anywhere below 20°C. They tried to brush it off at first but Grippins made it incredibly clear that if they ever downplayed their pain again, he will put them on Mr. Tenna duty until they learn to take care of themselves. This thankfully got them to fess up about the severity of their chronic pain but it didn't fix the fact that they were in pain for most of their free time.

I don't know exactly when it started, but I began spending more time around them during those nights. Due to being built a bit thicker than most of my coworkers, I was much warmer than your average Pippins and that gave me the advantage of being able to act as a natural heating pad for Jongler. They would cosy up on my lap while I read them the newest book I managed to get my hands on, getting quieter as they drifted off. It was nice to see them relax for once and, as time went on, the other two joined us.

Pluey joined first, he heard me mumbling about Jongler getting used to my warmth and needing just a bit more to get truly comfortable and he offered to help. I was sceptical at first but after Pluey gave me those kitty eyes of his, I just couldn't deny him. He would curl up on Jongler's lap and would help hold the book up so that I could occupy my hands with petting the two of them. Grippins joined last, he stumbled in one night with a cup of coffee and eyebags the size of twin suns and said that he was joining us whether we liked it or not. From that point on, we made these little reading sessions a habit, they would even bring in books of their own that they wanted to hear me read out loud.

Just a little bit more and I can go home.

The Cold Is Starting To Seep Into My Bones. My Body Wasn't Made For Wading In Chest Deep Water.

Pluey? Is That You, Old Friend?

...

No. You Cannot Reach Me Here. I'm Starting to Imagine Things Now, How Long Has It Been?

Your drawings are amazing!

My Drawings? Oh You Must Mean My Sketches. Thank You, I Am...Not Quite Proud Of Them. I Made Hundreds Of Them. I Drew My Ideas For Clothing For All Of My Loved Ones, I Even Made Alternative Designs For The Mike Costumes And Yet, I Was Always Too Shy To Show Them To Anyone.

If You See Mr. Tenna. Would You Show Them To Him Please? At Least Now I Don't Have To Worry About Him Getting Mad At Me For Sketching Him On Company Time.

(A/N - I also want to say Thank You. I Draw entirely on my free time between work and my personal projects so the compliment is appreciated.)
