The DWN wasn’t entirely sure how to go about apologizing— and he wasn’t confident that Toad would accept the apology, but he had to do it anyway. Hopefully it’d mean something.

Taking in a synthetic breath, the sight of Toad switching into his armor put Snake more on edge than he already was, although he couldn’t blame Toad for being cautious.

"…Icameheretoapologize." He said quickly, looking off to the side.

[rainflushed]

The DCN blinked. After a moment, he registered what was said- and in another moment, went from slightly scared and wary to confused and mildly concerned.

Snake- apologizing? It- it sounded great to him, but things couldn't be that simple- could they? For heaven's sake, Toad might've looked like a child but he didn't have the mind of one! Taking an uncertain step forward to better scan Snake Man, he stopped at the maximum distance he could do so at.

"...Are you okay?" he asked.

[rainflushed]

Awkward and uncomfortable fidgeting. "T-Toadman?"

… Why was Snake just coming right out into the open instead of sneaking up behind him?

That alone said something was very off with the DWN, and the awkwardness just strengthened that suspicion. Toad had been in civilian mode and switched into his armour just in case- it wouldn’t help him much if at all, but still.

"…Um- yes, Snake Man?" he replied, his voice cautious. What was going on here?

LOUD SHRIEKING ENSUES.

This was about what he expected, honestly, having come back into contact with Snake again. That didn’t exactly make this welcome by any means- especially since Toad, even at his most paranoid and diligent, could never seem to catch Snake before getting caught himself. Okay, fine, Toad Man was a freaking irrigation and farming robot, not a spy ‘bot- but still…

He flailed, squirming as best he could in Snake’s grasp. Even when he had been weaponized he had been utterly helpless to stop Snake from doing anything to him, and by the time the plan had been set into motion he’d been kidnapped enough times that he just stopped trying to fight it altogether, but now that it had been a long while Toad was back to trying to get out.

"L-let me go!" stammered the DCN. "What do you even want with me?!" …Kind of a stupid question- Toad knew that Snake liked to scare him already, but regardless. He wasn’t exactly in the best position to think at the moment, carried over Snake’s shoulder.

INTERNAL SCREAMING.

Toad Man stared down the DWN, eyes wide with terror- but he was only frozen for a moment, Snake having regained that advantage over him entirely because it had been a while since Toad had last seen him. He used to be used to dealing with this guy all the time... What happened? He find new prey? Ugh, he didn't wanna think about it...!

Nevertheless, Toad Man was of the mindset of 'be nice to everyone', including guys like Snake- in the hopes that kindness would get him an out. (If not, he'd just call Pharaoh or Skull and pray they get there fast enough to bail him out.)

"U-um... been a while, h-huh?" stammered the DCN.

”!!” Snakeman hadn’t expected to be shoved back, and certainly not that roughly. Seems that he had underestimated how strong the angel could be…Then again, all he had to go off of was the fact that Pit was indeed an organic being.

Brushing himself off, Snake found some very light dents in his armor, but nothing too major. In response to Pit’s apology, he looked up. “No, I’m fine.” He said. He ignored the rest of what Pit said, not finding it worth it to respond.

"I was hoping to talk to you."

Oh, good! He was alright! The angel relaxes visibly at this, reforming the bow before stowing it away. He just hopes the robot hadn't taken offense; After all, he was enlisted in a tournament for fighting, and as the head of a guard he didn't take lightly to being grabbed suddenly from behind. It was understandable. The angel's goofy smile soon returns to his face as he tilts his head at the robot's next words.

"You wanted to talk? Sure, we can talk! What about?" He'd invite him into the room he and Dark Pit were sharing, but he wasn't sure if his twin would appreciate that much. Instead, he simply leans against the wall, wings giving a lazy flap before settling down.

It was a rather quiet day. Roll had gone out to go pick up groceries. Elec Man had insisted that he went with her, but the lab assistant had ordered him to rest and relax. After the day he had yesterday, he could use it.

So, Roll had left the lab on her own, humming to herself happily as she walked. Despite her cheery mood, she could not shake this nagging feeling that something terrible was going to happen. She tried to ignore it and stay optimistic. However, nothing could prepare her for who she would run into. 

Roll suddenly bumped into someone when she turned the corner. She yelped, stumbling back. "I-I'm sorry...! I should be more careful..."

Aftermath || CLOSED; AU

Boo-wip!

...Phew, talk about cutting it close. He'd made it back to the fortress with no one around... Which meant that if he was going to be ambushed by a certain "mentor" of his, there would be no one to witness it. 

Rock had, quite frankly, messed up. Pangs of homesickness combined with accidentally being discovered by Kalinka Cossack had made for a very uncomfortable reunion of sorts... And he'd kind of sort of admitted to having switched sides.

No doubt Rock's family had probably already heard about it by now, which was bad enough... But during that encounter, he had noticed a Search Snake perched in a tree. Which meant Snake Man knew that Kalinka knew, and in extension the Light family would know. And it seemed like he'd grown fond of the idea of Rock's betrayal being a surprise.

Taking advantage of the quiet, Rock creeps back to his room... Perhaps, if he was lucky, Snake had gone to bed already and he'd deal with the consequences in the morning...? 

...Naturally, this would not be the case. Not that the child would find out just yet; He's preoccupied with twisting the handle, opening the door and slipping inside unnoticed...

Autumn would have gone to find and confront Jazz's bully, but unfortunately Vex had figured this out. Due to this, she remained on her couch, arms crossed in a huff.
