Artiifex sends you right on over to the palace coords, and you have to take a moment to just... take in the change. Kipper hadn’t been exaggerating about how different it looked since his... half death? Ascension? Your friend and crush is now some type of god and if you don’t think about that too hard maybe you can avoid panic.

Part of you thinks this is a terrible idea, and has a lifetime of solid reasons why.

The other part of you is distracted by all the pretty flowers covering everything.

> You didn't think to look in the mirror before leaving, which is unfortunate, because the fact that you haven't been sleeping is really showing. Whoops.

Kipper is still asleep, and has been for a while. He must’ve nodded off sometime during the third movie, but honestly, you didn’t notice until it was over. That was embarrassing. And awkward, what were you supposed to do with a suddenly sleeping, human version of your friend?

Plus, Kat was pretty happily cuddled in, and would whine if you tried to move either of them.

You’d nudged the pizza box away so it didn’t get kicked, settled back, and watched more movies. Kipper would wake up again soon, probably. Might as well binge a few things in the meantime.

(That was ten hours ago.)
