[yes, the "all-caps" is intentional]

Fandom: Deltarune

Pairing: Tasque Manager / Queen

Summary: Queen gets overwhelmed by the beauty of astronomy software. Tasque Manager is there to help.

After a brief search, she found her mistress on the roof of the Mansion.

Queen seemed almost pensive. She didn’t turn when she heard Tasque Manager’s approach, but she spoke in what was, for her, practically a whisper.

“Tazzypoo The Lightners Have Been Showing Me Some Cool Screensavers With Air-Quotes Galaxies Nebulae Coronas End Air-Quotes…”

Tasque Manager could hear the ellipsis as Queen’s words trailed off. And to her horror, her mistress actually put her face in her hands, as though to hide what might appear on her visor.

A canon-compliant Deltarune drabble this time around, because there is a criminal lack of TasQueen in this world.

================

“Sweetie Baby Honey Gravy Tazziepoo, I Do Not Feel Very Good, And By Not Very Good I Mean Totally Bad.”

Alarm bells went off in Tasque Manager’s brain and shivered all the way down through her deepest circuits. Queen’s vocal delivery was slowed down to three-quarter speed. And Her Lady Grace’s visor was not showing letters, but… clock hands?

Ah! That was the problem. Tasque Manager mentally flipped through the pages of her inner calendar and recalled that this was the day that the Lightners called “the end of Daylight Savings Time”.
