ashley: why don’t you and your wisps do that thing where you, like, fuse together? like what you used to beat me?

whisper, shaking her head: too risky and powerful. could lead to innocent bystanders getting hurt

ashley: right, yeah… maybe if you just used cyan’s power to zip up to-

lanolin: hold that thought, you two. tangle?

*whisper and ashley turn to where lanolin is looking. tangle is leaning back in the hot tub, way too relaxed and her hand feet emerging out of the water*

whisper, clearing her throat: tangle.

The Neo Diamond Bleppers (this was 100% tangle’s idea)

shadow: …hey.

whisper: mm

…

shadow: your social battery’s been depleted as well, i assume

whisper: yeah

shadow:

shadow: is it fine if i sit with you? we don’t have to talk

whisper: sure

tangle: hey, whisp! knock knock

whisper: um… who’s there?

tangle: olive!

whisper: …olive who?

tangle: olive you, silly!

whisper:

whisper, chuckling endearingly: god, you’re so corny

tangle: your laugh betrays you, strawberry~!

*as they walk off, a lightbulb goes off in ashley’s head*

[later, at the babylon rogues’ airship]

ashley, swinging the door open: hey wave, knock knock-!

wave, making a door-locking motion: click

ashley: wh- wha-

wave: i just locked the door, go away.

ashley: no no, i mean, like, knock knock-

wave: i called the police. get off my property

In this brief moment, the fear outweighed the pain.

lanolin: ugh… what’s that smell?

ashley: it’s either bad meat or good cheese… are we sure this is the right place?

tangle: h-hey, c’mon now. i’m sure if we fix this place up a little, we can-!

*suddenly, the floor gives in under whisper, and she partly falls through it, only visible from the waist up*

tangle, lanolin and ashley:

“Now that was a workout… I should get Whisp and the rest of the Neos to join next time!”
