[If you happen to be anywhere near the Villa, or in the main bubble and looking upwards at just the right moment, you'll see an interesting thing. Just before noon, an explosive shell of some sort gets shot up into the sky, exploding just below the limits of the bubble. It's not a very impressive explosion, and in reality it is more of a loud 'pop' than anything else. It's pretty easy to miss it, but it's out there for anyone who can see it.

Much closer to the Villa, the same explosion can be seen, though it is a bit louder since it is directly overhead. For those people close to the Villa, that first 'pop' is followed by a closer, much louder explosion, as well as the sound of shattering glass.

About five minutes after these events, Shiro makes a post to the network. He's specifically doing a voice post for Reasons.]

So.

Are there any carpenters in this city?

Hee, it's pretty neat, huh? But not as neat as the other costume I got stuck in earlier today. Did you see that big board? They want you to do the stupidest glubbing things.

[ Clearly that simple question warranted a babbly answer. ]

[paladaddy]

I did see it, yes. But it looks like there's rewards for doing those things.

[terribubbly]

Well, duh, it's a game. But lots of games still have dumb quests, like have you ever been a hopbeast? You could go be one. [ A brief pause. ] Okay, well, that was kind of fun. You just chase down strangers and glub all about this casino place.

[paladaddy]

See, the problem there is that I'm not sure what a hopbeast is.

[terribubbly]

With the twitchy cute little nub- [ She twitches her fins in an effort to twitch her nose. ] -and the floppy covered hear ducts- [ Also a fin twitch. ] -and the cute fluffy spine protrusion.

[ She might be wiggling her behind. Thank god the angle of the camera keeps that a mystery. ]

You know, a rabbit.

[paladaddy]

[He had no idea what she was doing until she said rabbit.]

Oh, I get it now.





Wait why did they want someone to dress up like a rabbit?

[terribubbly]

So that they had a rabbit to pass out flyers and these. [ She holds up a pair of branded dice on screen. ]

[paladaddy]

[See this wouldn't be nearly as bad if Feferi weren't clearly a teenager and not old enough to wear the 'rabbit' costumes he is picturing here.]

...please tell me you didn't agree to it.

[terribubbly]

Well, duh, I already did it. I'm not passing up easy points!

[paladaddy]

[Face, meet palm.]

Right, easy points. I forgot about that part.

[terribubbly]

Going for the simplest quests first is always the best plan. Don't you play video games?

[paladaddy]

I haven't played any video games in a long time, unfortunately. I think the last one I played was Jump Brothers.

[Bland name games for the win!]

[terribubbly]

Then you should go jump at that hopbeast quest. It'll be a good start for you.
