#jongler ask

HANDS OFF THE GOODS! I need my brain unsquished for thinking.

(Pluey seems interested) 🎶🎶🎶🎷

(Jongler blushes) I don't mind being squished, i quite like hugs.

(Pluey pulls Battat and Jongler in for a hug, squishing them both, but Battat mostly)

AEUGH-

Um... yeah, I'm sure I can come up with a few rad beats if needed.. man, I was just so excited to work for the grooviest TV host and meet all the folks who helped him get this far.. but I'm just some kinda joke. It's still an honor to be meeting you three though, really! Thanks for being so kind!

[They scrunch their nose slightly, a bit upset.]

Well.. whatever, I'm here now! Y'guys need help with anythin'? [They grin lopsidedly]

Oh! I can also make promotional art and posters n' stuff, too! I draw!

Don't worry, Em, yer not a joke. It's normal to be excited when ya get told you can work for one of yer idols. Look at you, ya did get that job. Can ya imagine the look on the face of those pippins when they learn that? Who's tha joke now? (Jongler seems uncharacteristically jolly)

Yeah. Right nowwwww we're not doing anything. So I guess make yourself at home? There's snacks in the dresser's bottom drawer. Jongler is gonna be drinking tea while taking care of some paperwork, if you think that's fun. Pluey is probably gonna go pass out on the couch but if you want you can put on a movie, the VHSes and the player are under the TV. Or, if you want...

You could listen to my Mike theories....

Once Tenna did disappear for a few weeks. It was very chaotic, like what I mentioned be-

[*He makes a shushing motion with his feather, seemingly trying not to give himself away]

[*Red scrambles in a few moments later out of breath]

Hello! Have you seen Orange anywhere? We were playing tag and I appear to have lost him-

((@5cuptainsinatrenchcoat ))

(Jongler makes sure not to move) We ain't seen 'im.

(Pluey shrugs)

I'm colorblind.

You guys get a kick out of this don't you...

Ya need to speak up boss, we can't really hear ya well through the glass...

I SAID. YOU GUYS GET A KICK OUT OF THIS DON'T YOU.

Um, maybe not us, but the audience might be.

GET ME OUT OF HERE

🎵🎶🎶🎶🎷

[*They're totally not trespassing nope nuh uh]

@5cuptainsinatrenchcoat

HEY YOU (Battat points at the figure) WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?! This is a TOP SECRET area, Not even Tenna knows about it!!!

Em... Boss...?

(Battat looks up from his papers) What's up?

I...(They try to think of a way to describe the situation, but fail. Even if the words are easily found, the absurdity of them wouldn't easily be believed) I think ya should come see it for yerself....

(Battat follows Jongler into his bedroom, then bathroom) WHAT????WHAT?????????? WHAT??????????????????????????? WHAT IS THAT???

🎵🎶🎶🎵🎶🎷

NO, I CAN SEE THAT IT'S A BATHTUB FULL OF ICE CREAM! Why is there ice cream in your bathtub, Jongler!?

I have no idea.

🎵🎵🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵🎵🎷

Vanill- YOU TASTED IT?! YOU TASTED THE BATHTUB ICE CREAM???????

🎶🎶🎶🎷

BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHERE IT CAME FROM!

He seems fine, so it can't be bad.

HOW WILL WE EVEN GET RID OF IT?!

I think... I have an idea.

First a dirt cheap coffee booth, now a dirt cheap ice cream shop, You lot do love to make your coworkers HAPPY! And, marvelous uniform as always, you! (Tenna points at Pluey)

(This time Pluey is wearing a more conservative version of a bunny girl style cat costume) 🎶🎶🎷

Y-Yeah, Boss we...w-we love! Making our coworkers, uh, happy!

But... Where did you get all this ice cream? And why does it only come in Vanilla?

IT'S!!! A GENEROUS DONATION!

Oh! How Delightful! (Tenna bends down to drop a few points in the tip jar) I know many a person who would have just kept it for themselves. Such generosity deserves a reward!

Thank you boss.

I don't think I've ever asked, what are your names?

B-BATTAT! I MEAN, UH, ENCRYPTION! It says Encryption on my contract........

I go by Jongler, boss. And he's Pluey.

Wonderful! Encryption Battat, Jongler, Pluey, expect a raise and a care package very soon! See you around! (Tenna stands up straight again, and turns around before walking away.)

... (Battat jumps at Jongler, feet on their chest and holding onto their collar. He glances back in the direction Tenna left) HE. HE SAID MY NAME. HE SAID MY TWO NAMES!

He sure did. Does it make ya happy, boss?

That sounds.... like something that can't be aired on TV.

(Pluey laughs and says something looking at Jongler) 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎷

(Jongler laughs quietly.)

THIS IS WHY I DON'T LET YOU TWO TALK TO TENNA. You're BOTH lost causes!

🎶🎶🎶🎵🎶🎵🎵🎷

I have a sense of humor! It's just not as juvenile!
