Red carpet duo

messy zapper and pippins askblog. made with a whole lot of love and obsession! :D

[zapper-n-yapper]

(This whole thing is occ for now)

So! These two npcs have been living rent-free in my head for well over two weeks as of now. I gave em names and everything.

(I'm also writing fanfic slop of them. Just a bunch of oneshots)

Anyway!!!

The pippins is Dairon (referred to as Dices though because it sounds way better)

Aaand the zapper is Connor (referred to as Con)

I think you can infer some characterization about them from the username ;)

I will make a better intro post soon.

Tags!!!

#dicey yapping - when it's just him

#totally platonic moment - them being fruity and oblivious

#non ask sillies- pretty obvious

#doomed- angst!!

#mod yapping- me being stupid lmao

(I'm the @poetry-viv mod! aka @fairlylocal-emogirl )

[zapper-n-yapper]

Hey, Dices. I heard some lightners were spotted in card kingdom…

LIGHTNERS? WHO?? WHEN?? HUH???

Now THAT'S interesting gossip.

(M!A 3/7)

[zapper-n-yapper]

Hey guys so like…Hypothetically, if someone like me that doesn’t identify with either gender were to have a crush on a guy, would that be gay? H-hypothetically of course!

@sweater-anon

Mhm, sure bud, hypothetically. Sure. ;)

Well, I wouldn't call it straight, sooo-

Who exactly do you like? (cause you're fooling nobody with that)

(*they've swapped heights btw if you haven't seen that post. M!A)

(2/7)

[zapper-n-yapper]

M!A: Height swap for 7 asks! Let's see how Connor likes being carried around, hehehehe.

HAHAHAHA I'M TALL NOW!!

Pick me up, give the people what they want!

"The people" or just you?

I'm a person, I'm part of the people.

*throws a Stick* Fetch! - 🪵

Do either of us look like dogs to ya?

[zapper-n-yapper]

Marriage Fraud

Who ya takin about??

Yeah, Tenna and that short guy he used to be with, or what?

Oh yeah, I think they were gonna get married. Someone saw that guy with a nice ring that was definitely the bosses size.

What happened to that guy, I haven't heard of him in years?

Dunno, but the boss HATES him now.

Real, he's the pettiest man alive about it, too.

[zapper-n-yapper]

So what do Pippinses like... Do around set? The Shadowguys are presumably the musical accompaniment and the Zappers are bouncers, Shuttahs are camera things, and I don't think the Ribbicks are employees,,, so what do the Pippinses do?

Don't really know, I haven't actually done my job in a loooong time

[zapper-n-yapper]

ooh are we giving out alcohol. a fun thing to try with everclear is pouring it out the nearest window and seeing what happens

No, it's a gift, that would be rude!

We ain't doin that.

[zapper-n-yapper]

I am the Everclear anon! In celebration of your recent relationship, have some Everclear!

(you received two bottles of Everclear)

Thanks!

...what's that?

[zapper-n-yapper]

[*Well, Swaye is here. They look very disheveled. Their hair is a mess, there’s bags under their eyes, and one of the spots on their left arm has a bandage wrapped around it. They hold a sewing kit in their right hand.*]

H-hey you guys. Could I…um….ask for a huge favor?

[*They’re scared.*]

@sweater-anon

Damn, are you okay? What the hell happened??

Yeah, you look....nevermind. Ask, we'll try to help ya, if we can.

[sweater-anon]

Thanks. so, um, the thing is……

[*They don’t really know how to explain what happened. They decide that it’d be best to avoid talking about it if possible. They don’t want these two worrying too much, and they also don’t want them to be upset with Tenna, because it’d only make things worse.*]

um…C-Con, you know how to sew and stuff, right? do you think you could….patch this up for me?

[*They unwrap the bandage on their arm and reveal a wide hole.*]

n-normally I’d do it myself, but….its a bit hard when I can only use my one hand.

[zapper-n-yapper]

(*They both try not to look too shocked, as it would definitely make things worse.)

Yeah, I can patch you up.

How the fuck did that happen??Are you okay, can I, um, get you something to help??

....You ain't gotta tell us what happened if you don't wanna, but it would probably help to talk about it.

[*They hand the sewing kit to Con.*]

I-um…I just…..I……..

[*What are they supposed to say? “Oh yeah my Tenna was having an episode yesterday and as a result I was super stressed trying to help around the studio and he ended up scratching Ramb which made me snap at him and i ended up having a mental breakdown in my room that lead to me tearing a hole in my arm but you shouldn’t hate Tenna he really didn’t mean to hurt anyone!”*]

uh……..

[*Swaye doesn’t want anyone to worry. They’re supposed to help, they don’t want to be a burden. They don’t want to be treated differently. Though they suppose that all of that was sort of thrown out the window when they came here to ask for help. These two were gonna worry anyways, so they might as well be at least somewhat honest.*]

um….well…..the studio was pretty hectic yesterday, and I was really stressed out about it, and it just got to be too much and I……

[*They look away. They’re shaking.*]

I-I didn’t mean to hurt myself so badly, but…..

[zapper-n-yapper]

(*the two of them exchange worried glances, trying to figure out how to respond to that. Con takes some thread out of the sewing kit and prepares to get to work)

I- Swaye, is this something that you do often?... Look, we don't know each other much, but me and Con are here if you ever need to talk about something. You can't take your stress out on yourself like that, you need another outlet. It's good that you asked for help, though. Definitely a step in the right direction.

Our dor's always open for ya, don't even worry about it....I hate to say this, but can you try to be a bit more still? I get why you're shakin, it's more than understandable, but I can't stitch you up properly like this. We can wait a bit, if ya want. Wouldn't wanna mess it up. I ain't rushin.

[sweater-anon]

n-no, this doesn’t really happen often….its not like it’s the first time though….

I-I know it’s not healthy, but I don’t really have other ways to deal with this kind of stuff. I’m supposed to help others. I don’t want to…be a burden….

…yeah, I’ll try. sorry.

[*They take a few deep breaths, trying to calm down a bit.*]

[zapper-n-yapper]

Don't apologize, you got nothin to be sorry about. You're not a burden for needin help, and ya can't help others properly if you ain't doin well, yeah?

(*Con starts patching the hole up as best as he can.)

He's right, you know? You shouldn’t feel like it's a bad thing that you also need others to help you, everyone does. I, for one, would have fallen into some pretty bad situations several times if it wasn't for Con, we help each other out as much as possible. It's great that you want to be there for others, but someone's gotta be there for you, too.

[sweater-anon]

….y-yeah. you’re right.

[*They wince a bit as Con patches them up. It hurts, but it has to be done so it doesn’t hurt even more later, and so other people don’t ask why there’s a hole in their arm.*]

um…please don’t tell anyone about this.

[*They especially don’t want Tenna to find out. He probably has it rough enough as is, with what happened yesterday.*]

[*They feel guilty, remembering that they yelled at him. They didn’t mean it.*]

[*They were gonna go apologize to him later.*]

[zapper-n-yapper]

Don't worry, we ain't tellin anyone.

Yeah, it's not anyone else's business. If they find out, it's gotta be because you chose to tell them.

Is there anythin else we could do for ya?

[sweater-anon]

um, no that’s it……thank you……..

[*They look at their now patched up arm. They start crying.*]

im sorry…….

[zapper-n-yapper]

Hey, don't apologize, it's alright! We want to help you, you're not a burden, okay?

(*Con offers a hug, he doesn’t really know how else to comfort someone)

[sweater-anon]

[*She accepts it.*]

[zapper-n-yapper]

.....

It's gonna be alright, yeah? You can talk to us whenever.

Anytime. We're your friends, you're kinda stuck with us now!

[zapper-n-yapper]
