#dhou interlude

Pittoo sat on the porch, smoking from a blunt. He had found an overgrown patch of cannabis out in the woods. It was taking up pretty much half of the circular space Pittoo had found it in. Palutena soon found him sitting there, smoking cannabis. “Pittoo, what’re you doing?” She asked. ‘Smokin’ weed,” Pittoo responded, taking other puff. “Why?” “Well, you sealed up the entrance to the freezer, so this is pretty much what I do now. Plus, it’s a bit calming.” Palutena sighed, rubbing the bridge of her nose in a tiny amount of annoyance. ‘Well, at least it’s better then shoving yourself into a -40 degree room for hours on end.” Pittoo laughed. He didn’t really know why he thought it was funny, but it was, somehow. Maybe the weed was kicking in or something. Palutena shot Pittoo a look. “Pittoo, there’s nothing funny about that.” Pittoo just kept giggling. “Pittoo, i’m serious. Nothing’s funny about that.” Pittoo spoke in between laughs. “Haha, yeah yeah I know. It’s just... hehehehehehehe... Sorry, sorry...” Palutena was a bit irritated at his giggling. Pittoo took another puff, finally managing to calm down enough to stop laughing. “Hey, you wanna try some of this stuff?” Pittoo offered. Palutena scoffed. “Please. I’m not that irresponsible.” “Says the lady who drinks herself silly every weekend.” “.... Grrr... good point,” Palutena said, reaching for one of Pittoo’s blunts. “So do I just light one end of this?” “Yeh, yeh. I think that’s how it’s supposed to work.”

Pittoo had killed the Hewdraw. After Pit had suddenly vanished, Palutena had sent him out. As he warped back to Skyworld, he noticed Palutena wasn’t where she usually was after a mission. “Lady Palutena? Yo, where are you,” Pittoo called, moving at a slight jog throughout the halls. “Helloooooooo?” Pittoo was getting frustrated, but also worried. What the hell had happened to Pit? He wandered into the study to find Palutena sitting. She was shaking heavily, tea sloshing around inside her cup. “Uhh... Lady Palutena, why are you shaking so much? Is there a tremor going on that I don’t know about?” “Pittoo, you should know why I’m shaking so much.” Pittoo raised his hands defensively. “Hey, I-I’m just tryin’ ta cheer ya up...” Palutena laughed. “I’m aware Pittoo, I appreciate the effort. But honestly, I don’t think now is the time.” Palutena took a shaky sip from her tea. “I mean, aren’t you nervous about Pit? I can’t contact him at all, and I have no idea where he’s ended up, I don’t know if he’s in any danger...” “Woah now. Slow down, Lady Palutena. Don’t work yourself up too much, you won’t be able to think straight if your panicked.” Palutena took yet another shaky drink. Then she breathed in and out deeply, for a few moments. “I... I suppose you’re sort of right, Pittoo. But still, I am rather worried for Pit’s saftey.” “Me as well, Lady Palutena. But come on, he’s Pit. I’m sure he’ll be fine.” Palutena had finished her drink, and went to get some more tea. Pittoo tagged along. “We can only hope, Pittoo,” Palutena said, pouring some more tea. “Of course, now that Pit is as of now M.I.A, you do realize you’ll have to take over his duties, correct?” “Yes, Lady Palutena.” “Good. Now, then, it’s lunch time. Do you want pizza?”
