my silly little s/i ("my guy" henceforth)... they're friends with (out-of-costume) pluey (they hang out after work cause pluey is inexplicably gone most of the time... it is strange...)

they are slightly allergic to taking things seriously. like not severely but it does make them sneeze a little y'know. this includes their job and relationships

they're a big haver of small crushes and also a big kisser-in-closets of random coworkers (they gotta do SOMETHING instead of working!)

perhaps the main part of the dynamic for my selfship is that my guy is COMPLETELY unaware of the mike scheme. they have NO clue

again they have a habit of fucking (around with) their coworkers but they have a HUGE crush on in-costume jongler. it is kind of embarrassing.

jongler is very aware of that fact (my guy works up the courage to tell them) and they end up in some sort of situationship eventually... this makes a big mess cause obviously they 1. can only interact romantically when they're mike and 2. are not always mike

battat is VERY exasperated with this whole situation. he doesn’t have a very good impression of my guy due to their Known Tomfoolery but he does want the best for jongler. he just does not want to be involved (he gets involved inevitably. many such cases)

pluey just thinks the whole situation is hilarious. he listens to them ramble about how cute mike is and stuff and he's like "mhm mhm" (Do They Know?)

jongler jongler jongler... they’re very flustered by the attention because they don’t tend to get much of it. they go on silly little dates as mike and stuff. battat sometimes puts a tail on them to make sure nothing goes wrong. they are plagued by a teensy bit of guilt but it’s fiiiine naaah they’re ok. it’s fine.

they interact with my guy out of costume only incidentally. they're too scared to talk to them too much... they're scared of blowing their cover... they have been rambled to about mike at least once. it's torture for them. i'm sorry jongler.

if my guy were to find out about the truth they would not take it amazingly i think. this can also not happen before/during chapter 3 because there are INSANE stakes to being found out

in a better world perhaps they can end up together properly... i just have to think it through...
