[Johan’s parasite] The parasite moves over to the other hand easily and willingly when prompted to and immediately continues dancing. It’s still weird to think that unlike the person that made the parasite it’s able to dance. Sure it isn’t dancing to the same rhythm as the music but it’s at least dancing. And heck it looks happy doing so! I think it likes the rabbit. I wonder what that could mean in the long run though.

[Baku] Baku was lost in the music at the moment so he didn't even notice how loud it was, not that he cared. He liked his music loud even when he wasn't the one playing it so loud it stayed though it did lower when he switched to a different song. However the blend was perfect so it was hard to notice the switch unless you had a good ear for music.

[Rave Witch Temmie] That music... it's so... silky smoooooth... but so loud... and man, oh man can we really feel the sound pulsing through us when we're that close to the speakers. It actually kind of hurts a little...

We quickly circle back around past the wall where Ugg is still dancing, and back to the entrance. We float into the doorway, hovering just above the ground as we bob up and down on our broom. That music has been battering our eardrums and our chest for who knows how long, and we've been thoroughly enjoying it so far, but it's beginning to take a toll on us physically. If it were just me, in my own body, I likely would have been forced to take a break much sooner than this. But we're getting to the point where even Temmie's starting to feel worn out.

[Rabert] The rabbit monster folds his own ears down somewhat to give them a break. "You still doin' okay there, little guy?" He asks the dancing parasite in his hand.

[Johan’s parasite] The parasite stops for a second to nod to the rabbit monster. It looks happy and excited, but curious as to why the rabbit folded his ears. Is he tired? The parasite also feels a bit tired but that’s because it’s a parasite and can’t make its own energy, or at least whatever a normal person would do. Basically it’s also really hungry but it’s only been dancing for a short time so it’s not as tired. It doesn’t continue dancing until it knows what condition the rabbit is in. It cares! It cares so much about its first friend!

[Rabert] “A’right! Cool beans!" The rabbit monster replies. Then he notices the parasite has stopped dancing. "Whoa, wait... you sure you're okay? Do ya not feel like dancin' anymore?"

[Rave Witch Temmie] Temmie and I, still bobbing up and down and rocking back and forth on our broom, feel like we're riding on a kiddie ride. We unfold our bottom ears since we're pretty far away from the speakers, though we can still kind of feel the sound rumbling through our chest. We're not about to cop out yet, though. We may be right in the doorway, but don't let that fool you- we have every intention of staying here until the very end.

[Johan’s parasite] The parasite motions to the rabbit’s ears when asked about why he stopped dancing. Though a tiny hungry growl escapes where its stomach would be, it seems to ignore that for now. It wants to make sure the rabbit is okay first.

[Rabert] The rabbit monster misunderstands the parasite’s gesture. “Huh? You seein’ somethin’? Where?” He unfolds his ears, turns around and looks behind him. “I don’t see nothin’, little dude.”

[Rave Witch Temmie] Still in the doorway, Temmie and I dismount our broom, put it back into our hat, and do a little swaying, bobbing dance. We want to return to the crowd and dance more vigorously like we were doing before, but we just don’t quite have the energy anymore.

[Johan’s parasite] The parasite stares for a bit before shaking its head and looking around. It does feel a bit tired, that or hungry. Now that it has stopped dancing it relaxes, almost seeming to melt as it curls up in the rabbit’s palm. Maybe they could go somewhere else, rest for some time, hang out in the morning, you know like friends? Buddies? Whatever it is the parasite likes this rabbit. Dancing was kinda tiring for it though wasn’t it? Maybe if the rabbit wants to stay longer it could continue dancing... but it even looks tired by now.

[Rabert] "Aw, no, you all tuckered out, now?" the rabbit monster asks the parasite.

[Rave Witch Temmie] Temmie and I really don't want to stop dancing... We really don't want to stop...

One lady comes out of the back of the crowd and sits in one of the chairs against the wall, huffing and puffing. We can't stop now... we can't...

[Rabert] The rabbit monster soon follows, and sits in another one of the chairs. "Here, let's you an' me sit down and take a quick break." he says to the parasite, "You were really goin' at it there, little guy. I had no idea somethin' as small as yerself could get down like that! Wow!"

[Rave Witch Temmie] Temmie and I wave our arms back and forth... back and forth... back and forth... They feel weaker and weaker as we continue to wiggle and shake them back and forth... back and forth...

[Johan’s parasite] The parasite nods at the first question and continues to lie there, watching as the rabbit moves to sit down somewhere. At the mention of taking a break the parasite nods again. A break sounds good, maybe it would feel less tired after that. The parasite nods slightly as it closes its eyes and rests on the rabbit’s hand. It looks happy, but still tired. It really was going at it wasn’t it? How long has it been anyway? How long do these last?

[Rave Witch Temmie] Our arms are sore... Our ears are sore... But we can't leave now... We can't leave... We can't leave... him...

What is that music? Ugh, I know this tune, but I can't remember for the life of me what it's called. I've only ever heard one small snippet of it... it's in E scale, I believe. Not my favorite scale, to be honest... I suppose this would be as good a time as any to take a break.

We come back inside and sit next to the lady who'd sat down. We fold both pairs of ears and proceed to pant heavily. If we had a heart, it'd be beating like a bass drum right now from how much we've been exerting ourselves. It sure feels like that's what's happening at the moment. Do Temmies even have hearts? That might even be our souls we feel pounding in our chest.

[Baku] Baku continued to play his music, switching songs when he felt would be a good chance but the music was always seamless, it was clear he knew what he was doing. After a while he brought the music to an end and grinned at the crowd, "Well that's all fer tonight my dudes, this DJs gotta take a break, see ya around." At that he removed the headphones he had been using and jumped down from the stage, grinning. He then walked over to Temmie and smiled, "Tired yerself out eh, well at least you were enjoying it."

[Johan’s parasite] When the music stops, the parasite would open its eyes slightly and move to look around. If Baku came into view it would watch him and him only. Who is that? Is he the reason everyone was moving the way they were? Is he the one that created such majestic noise? The parasite doesn’t move from where it is but it does stare in curiosity. A small growl emits from where its stomach is. Maybe it’s time it gets something to eat? But first, who is this person?

[Rave Witch Temmie] ...The music stopped?

Still panting heavily, we unfold our ears and look up to see the other dancers filing out of the club, including the lady who was sitting next to us. The guy who had stepped out to answer his cell phone earlier follows soon after, muttering "Oh god, oh god, Mom's gonna have my head on a platter when I get home... Oh god..." And the other lady who had been freaking out over Johan's parasite makes a point to avoid the rabbit monster who's holding another one of Johan's parasites, as she makes her way out the door.

Ugg and Wrong Way descend from the walls, and two square panels in the floor, one under each wall, open up. Wait a minute, those weren't there before! This club's not supposed to have parts of its floor open up! How did that happen...?! Once the pair enter the holes, the panels close over them and go back to being part of the floor, as if they were never there to begin with. Huh. That must have been how the troublesome twosome got into the club in the first place.

[Rabert] "Aw, gee, looks like the party's over, little guy." The rabbit monster says to the parasite, "Guess we'd better get go- huh, what'cha lookin' at, little dude?" He looks where the parasite is looking and sees that Baku has left the stage and is standing in front of where Temmie and I are sitting. "Oh, you're lookin' at Baku? Yeah, he's pretty cool, isn't he?"

[Rave Witch Temmie] Temmie and I, meanwhile, can feel our heart- or souls, perhaps- pounding even harder when we realize Baku's in front of us. We begin shivering, and exhale a long breath that turns into a high-pitched, tea kettle-like squeal, as though we were trying to pant and "squee" at the same time.

"hhhhhhhhhHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

One other patron, however, has not left- Eyevan, who had been hanging out on the far left side of the crowd, had been patiently waiting for everyone else to leave as soon as the music had stopped. His gaze has been fixated on Baku ever since he came down from the stage, and is squirming over on his tentacle-legs, or optic nerves, or whatever. Now's his chance to finally ask that nagging question that's been tormenting him for so long...

[Baku] Baku winced at the loud squee that came from Temmie and then laughed. "Breathe sweetheart, don't need ya passin' out from lack o' oxygen and shiz." He then turned to see Eyevan and the parasite staring at him and raised a brow bone, "Whatcha starin' at me fer, need somethin'?"

[Eyevan] “*gasp* ohmygodhetalkedtome” Eyevan quickly mutters.

“Ahem...” Wait, how does an eyeball clear its throat? “Uh, yeah. First of all, DUDE. Eye gotta say, you REALLY outdid yourself this time. Eye... Well, okay, Eye always think that, but still, those beats were smooooooooth.” He does a motion with one of his tentacles like he’s wiping across a table.

[Rave Witch Temmie] After our long, loud breath out, Temmie and I take a loud breath in and hyperventilate a few times before slowing down. Man, we’re even more out of breath than I thought! I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised, though. I can’t remember the last time I’ve ever danced that hard, for that long. Or if there ever was a time that I’d danced that hard, for that long. Again, I would have never been able to manage doing that in my own body.

[Johan’s parasite] The parasite listens to the rabbit but continues to stare at Baku. Soon after the rabbit finishes, the parasite goes to hop forward and approach. It feels curious. It barely notices the others around. All it knows, is that this Baku character is interesting. He’s familiarly colorful, radiating creativity, and just generally... unique... it has to know more!

[Baku] Baku grinned. "Yo thanks my man, I feel pretty proud o' my skills today. Glad ya enjoyed yerself, always fun ta hear my fans like my work. Actually now that I think 'bout it this isn't the first time you've been ta one o' my shows is it buddy?"

[Eyevan] “Heck no! Dude, Eye’ve been goin’ to your gigs even longer than she has!” Eyevan points at us with one of his tentacles.

[Rave Witch Temmie] We raise our head in response.

“Oh... dere yu are... H-Hi, Eyevan...” We wave weakly.

[Eyevan] “S’up, Tems!” He replies as he waves back. “Anyway, speakin’ o’ that, there’s somethin’ Eye’ve been wantin’ to ask you for a real long time...”

[Rabert] Meanwhile, the rabbit monster is startled when the parasite suddenly hops out of his hand. “Whoa, hey, where you goin’, little dude?”

[Johan’s parasite] The parasite continues to try and inch closer, curiosity and wonder racing through it. How else can it get closer? Is there any way of getting higher? Maybe even closer AND higher! It looks to the tem and Eyevan before looking back to Baku. After a bit of thought it springs and goes to grab onto the tem’s tail, aiming to use the momentum of the swinging fluff stick to land on their head. Just a bit closer, that’s all it needs.

[Baku] Baku grinned. "I though I'd seen you before, nice ta finally talk ta ya broseph." He then raised a brow bone. "Sure what's up?"

[Eyevan] “So, a while back, Eye noticed somethin’ about you that nobody else seems to have picked up on so far. Eye have no eye-dea why no one else has noticed this. They all think Eye’m crazy or that Eye’m seein’ things, or somethin’. Hey, what do they expect? Seein’ things is just what Eye do, ya know? But now? Now that Eye’m finally able to get a good look at you, up close an’ personal?” His big eyeball looks Baku up and down. “Eye finally know that Eye was right all along.” He points at Baku with one of his tentacles. “You definitely do not look the same as you did when Eye first started goin’ to your shows.”

[Rave Witch Temmie] Temmie and I, who have been listening in, look over at him curiously. I can’t help but feel a hint of dread at what the eyeball monster is saying, but Temmie, none the wiser, raises our head once more, and mumbles, “huh?? wat yu mean??”

But right at that moment, we feel something latch onto the side of our tail. “EEP!!1”

[Rabert] “Whoa, hey, what’re you doin’ that for, little guy?” The rabbit monster calls out to the parasite from where he’s sitting.

[Rave Witch Temmie] We reach behind ourself and grab it in our paw, feeling it wriggling. Eww...

[Johan’s parasite] The parasite squirms. This is not what it had in mind at all! It tries to calm down but finds itself hyperventilating. It stops only to have a slightly louder stomach growl. It looks around in panic. It’s starving, but that’s not the main focus. It faces Baku, trying to fix its position so it doesn’t embarrass itself.

[Baku] Baku chuckled. "Yer quite observant ain't ya, I m-mean yer not entirely wrong, but d-doesn't a person always change wit time yo." It was at this point Baku noticed the little parasite and raised a brow bone. "Whatcha got there Tem?"

[Rave Witch Temmie] “awawa... its another one’a these...!” We say, frowning.

[Eyevan] “WHOA!” Eyevan yells, his pupil shrinking at the sight of the parasite in our paw, “That’s the little wormy thing that bit me earlier! Except it’s... huh, Eye’m pretty sure it wasn’t green.”

[Rave Witch Temmie] “yea, ive been seein a lotta these things!” we reply, “i saw da skelly kid dat was here before put one at da docks! then dere was one at Grillbz, an da one that bit yu before, an now dis one!1”

[Rabert] “Huh?” The rabbit monster gets up from his seat, walks over to us, and takes the parasite out of our paw. “What’chu guys talkin’ ‘bout over here? You’re sayin’ there are more’a these little fellas?”

[Johan’s parasite] The parasite looks around in panic. The moment the rabbit goes to take the parasite away it begins trying to squirm out, completely losing its mind. Before it can be taken too far away it would bite down on the tem. It would take some magic if possible, but really it just doesn’t want to be grabbed anymore. Please don’t kill it!

[Baku] Baku nodded. "Ah gotcha, must belong to someone nearby or somethin', seems a little freaked though." At that he took the creature in his hands and chuckled. "Relax lil dude, I ain' gonna hurt ya or anythin' yer kinda cool actually."

[Rave Witch Temmie] "awawa..." We moan, rubbing our bitten paw.

[Rabert] "Wait, you know what that is?" The rabbit monster asks, "I found that little fella while I was dancin' and got 'im to dance with me, too! He was pretty cool, until he went ahead and sank his chompers into this poor little lady here." He glances at us, then back to the parasite. "The heck was that all about, little dude? Bitin' peeps ain't cool."

[Eyevan] "Uh, hey, Rab, Eye don't mean to interrupt," Eyevan interrupts, "but Eye wasn't finished askin' Baku what was up with-"

[Rabert] "Oh hey, Eyevan." Rab replies, "Yeah, sorry, what were you sayin' again?"

[Johan’s parasite] The parasite sinks slightly when Baku holds him somewhat comforting. He squishes down, looking guilty as it tears up. It looks to the rabbit as if feeling sorry. It just freaked out, that’s all, it can be forgiven right? It slowly turns to Baku and stares for a moment. “Ba-...-koo?” it squeaks a bit as it tries to talk softly. “Fo-... giv?”

[Baku] Baku chuckled. "No big little dude ya didn't hurt her that bad, a small bite like that ain't gonna kill her." At that he moved the little parasite to his shoulder and turned back to Eyevan. "I already answered yer question my dude, time changes people, it's not unusual or anythin'."

[Eyevan] "But-but, no, dude!" Eyevan stammers, "L-Listen, Eye'm tellin' you! You did not look like that before!"

[Rabert] "What do you mean?" asks Rab.

[Eyevan] "Okay, look," Eyevan turns to him and says, "Eye know you haven't been a fan o' his for as long as Eye have, but Eye am telling you the complete truth here, Rabert. Baku did not look like this when Eye first started goin' to his gigs." He looks at us. "Temmie, you're payin' attention too, right?"

[Rave Witch Temmie] "uh-huh." We nod.

[Eyevan] "Alright, now take a look at his chin, here..." He points a tentacle at Baku's chin. "That chin o' his wasn't shaped like that before. If Eye remember correctly, it used to be a little... broader. It didn't taper as much. It had a more... um..."

[Rabert] "Was it bigger?" asks Rab, "Longer?"

[Eyevan] "No..." replies Eyevan, "It was just... wider, Eye guess. Not as pointy at the end. Know what Eye mean?"

[Johan’s parasite] The parasite doesn’t care if he changed before. He doesn’t care about any of their conversation. The parasite sits on the other parasite’s shoulder. He then scoots closer and nuzzles his neck if possible. “Sa-ree.”

[Baku] Baku pushed Eyevan's tentacle away and huffed as he crossed his arms. "Dude hands off my man." He really didn't want to have to go through this conversation ever but guess he really had no choice at this rate. "Look why does it funking matter if I look different than before, I'm still me an' I'm still a pretty mad awesome DJ an' frankly that's all I give a shiz 'bout. Now if we're done talkin' 'bout this I think I should help find this little guy's owner unless it wants ta stay wit me from now on." At that he turned to leave, patting the little parasite. "Yer good little dude, nothin' ta be sorry 'bout."

[Eyevan] "B-But Eye... Eye..." Eyevan holds his tentacles close to himself sheepishly as he watches Baku leave. "Eye..." He hangs his head- or eye, rather- in shame.

[Rabert] "Aw, I'm sorry, dude." Rabert says, "Guess you went and hit a nerve, there."

[Eyevan] "But he does look different..." Eyevan mopes, "He really does... Eye'm not lying! He really does look different..."

[Rabert] "Well, maybe..." Rabert starts to answer, "Hmm, maybe his looks are just a touchy subject fer him. That's probably why he got mad. Doesn't that make sense?"

[Eyevan] "Eye... Eye guess so, but... like... wheye? Eye just wanted to know why he changed..."

[Rabert] "Well, some folks just don't like talkin' about that kinda thing, y'know? Looks can be a pretty sensitive topic for some."

[Eyevan] "But Eye... Eye just..."

[Rabert] "Don't worry about it, my dude. Just don't ask him about it again, okay? You'll be fine! I'm sure he won't still be mad about it the next time we come out to see him again! Right?"

[Eyevan] "Eye..."

[Rabert] "Come on, Eyevan, let's head out." Rabert holds one of Eyevan's tentacles and begins to lead him out the door.

[Eyevan] "Do... do you believe me, at least?" Eyevan asks hopefully.

[Rabert] "Uh... sure, I guess." Rabert replies, "I don't see any reason not to! You seem like a pretty honest eye- uh, I mean guy! Yeah!"

The two of them turn and look back at us. "Bye Temmie! See ya next show!" Rabert calls to us.

[Johan’s parasite] After some time had passed, the parasite from before gets back to the area that Johan was in earlier. It seems happier as if it got just enough of something to be satisfied for the time being. However when it sees RWT and not Johan, it stops. The green peep begins to look around, lost and confused, fear welling up in its beady black eyes. Where did he go? He was just here! The peep looks out the door only to see nothing, and looks back around where it is only to see a crowd of writhing creatures, magic and normal alike.

It goes to slink up the wall to get a better view. Nothing. It goes to the chairs. Nothing there either. The peep looks like it’s about to cry. Maybe it could get help? It begins to slink closer to some people nearby, possibly someone decently close to RWT.

[Baku] Baku heard a thump and looked down to see the grinning creature. "Yo touch my set an' I'll send ya flyin' bro." At that he turns back to what he was doing while watching the creature in the corner of his eye.

[Rave Witch Temmie] We thrust our arms up and down, left and right, swinging our hips and kicking our legs. Our arms and legs are getting a little worn out, but the beat will not allow us to stop. This jam is just way too fire for us to possibly consider taking a break...

Wrong Way, meanwhile, doesn't seem to be taking Baku's warning seriously. He chuckles at him and takes a step forward- er, upward, rather.

Unfortunately for the "peep", everyone is facing away from it, and towards the turntables. Plus, the peep is so low to the ground that even if anyone was turned toward the entrance, they'd have to look down to see the little green slug.

[Johan’s parasite] The peep watches and listens to its surroundings for a bit before squishing down and springing up to try and jump onto someone. It looks around to survey where it is before looking for the face of whoever it landed on. It also attempts its cutest face. It might be a bit hard to do but it already looks like a bright green marshmallow snack so I guess it has a small advantage.

[Rabert] The peep lands on a rabbit monster.

"Gahhh! Leapin' lagomorphs, what was that?!” he cries out. He immediately stops dancing and reaches for his back to feel what just landed on him, but the peep has made it onto his shoulder by then. He looks to his right to see the peep staring back at him cutely. "Wh-wh-who are you? Uh... a-are you lost, little guy?"

[Rave Witch Temmie] Temmie and I are still going- still swinging, shaking, thrusting, kicking, and stepping to the beat. We've decided to retract our legs all the way back down because keeping them stretched is getting to be too tiring. Our ears are also starting to get a little sore... just a little. I manage to fold down our top two ears, just to give them a break.

Wrong Way is right at the edge of the turntables at this point, and leans forward to peek over the top.

[Johan’s parasite] The peep looks around when the rabbit monster begins to speak, but looks back immediately at the last question. It nods excitedly. How did they know? The peep is very much lost and alone. At this point it probably just wants someone to accompany them for until they find Johan. They don’t need to find Johan if they don’t want to, but he at least wants some comfort.

[Rabert] "Aw, gee, that's no good." The rabbit's speaking can barely be heard over the loud music. "So, how'd ya get here? I sure wasn't expecting to see a little thing like you in a place like this!"

[Rave Witch Temmie] Temmie and I are gradually running out of energy, but we're still determined to keep dancing for as long as we possibly can. We take our hat off, and slip our wand back into it. We've just gotten an idea for how we can give our legs a rest, and still keep dancing. We begin to pull something else out of our hat...

Up at the turntables, Wrong Way is still standing at the edge of the side, peering over at the top. He reaches over to touch one of the jog wheels...

[Baku] Baku watched the creature's antics and the minute it reached for one of the wheels Baku smacked it away. He then glared at the creature and growled, "I said hands off." At that he sent the creature flying into the crowd, never once messing up on the music.

[Ugg and Wrong Way] The purple, pig-faced Ugg has now entered the dance club. Somehow. He stands on the other side of the stage, and is just about to hop up onto the other side of the turntables... when suddenly he sees his partner Wrong Way falling sideways away from the stage.

"AAAAH!"

"WHOA!"

"What the heck?!"

"ACK!"

"What was that?!" Some of the dancers on the right side of the crowd cry out in surprise as Wrong Way falls sideways past them. He smacks against one of them, and then lands on the right wall (on Baku's left).

...Ugg decides not to make the same mistake as his partner, and hops off the other side of the stage. He falls in the other direction until he lands on the wall opposite of Wrong Way. From there, the two purple pests decide to just dance on the walls, since they now have nothing better left to do.

[Rave Witch Temmie] Temmie and I pull a broom out of our hat, the same one that we arrived on the Island with during the haunted house event! Yippee! We climb on and float up into the air! Now we can see above the crowd without having to stretch our legs!

[Johan’s parasite] When the parasite is asked how it got here it starts imitating walking, by squishing side to side, soon hopping to show it jumping. It soon makes a biting motion, a tiny mouth appearing for a moment, before he swings his head to the side for when he was thrown. It falls on its back and hops back up, bouncing lightly to imitate running before stretching like a spring to show when it jumped up. It leans closer to the rabbit monster, indicating that this is where it is now. It seems to like conversing as it looks much less scared now and more hopeful that the other understands or at least that it got the message across the best it could.

[Rabert] The rabbit... doesn't quite understand what the parasite is trying to tell him.  "Oh... ohhhhh! You wanna dance, little guy? Is that it? I thought that you were lost, but if it's dancin' ya wanna do, then you're in exactly the right place! Here, come on over this way...!" He scoops the parasite off his shoulder and holds it out in front of him in his palm as he sways back and forth, hoping the parasite will join in.

[Rave Witch Temmie] Meanwhile in the back, Temmie and I are high above on our broom. We can see Baku very well from all the way up here. We, too, sway our broom back and forth in the air, spinning around every so often. The music sounds so cheerful right now; our mouth is starting to get sore from smiling so much.

[Johan’s parasite] The parasite watches in confusion for a bit before starting to wiggle side to side. After a few seconds it realizes that, yes, this is fun! It’s physically incapable of dancing but unlike its owner and the one it’s derived from, it likes to sorta dance! It continues to sway but adding a small bob to it, the tiny bit of tail at the end flicking with the music. It’s not going along with the rhythm of the song at all, but it is dancing supposedly with the song. The green parasite looks happy, completely forgetting what it was so worried about.

[Rabert] "Heyyy, there ya go! That's how ya do it! You go, little dude!" cheers the rabbit monster as he keeps dancing with the parasite in hand.

[Rave Witch Temmie] From up where we are, Temmie and I catch glimpses of Ugg and Wrong Way dancing on the walls. When the heck did they get in here? Why are they here? There aren't any blocks for them to hop on in here! Are the other Q-Bert characters in here, too? Wait a minute, I just remembered there was a DJ who called himself Q-Bert... what a funny coincidence.

[Johan’s parasite] The parasite continues to “dance” when the rabbit cheers him on. It’s getting very excited now! It could just be from the experience of having something to live for or at least any sort of life. Even though it can’t actually dance or anything, it starts to wish it could continue with this, maybe live with this forever. Maybe he could be friends with the rabbit monster? Then it could have company! All the while on the outside the parasite looks to be filled with glee as it starts bouncing side to side, twirling and even squishing sometimes to simulate dancing. It’s close enough. Really it just looks like a living green marshmallow but I guess it could be considered dancing.

[Rave Witch Temmie] While the rabbit and parasite pair continue boogieing down, one of the human dancers hurriedly pushes his way to the back of the crowd and exits the club. Curious, Temmie and I spin our broom around, descend, and float over to the door so we can peek outside. The person who left is standing just to the side of the door with a cell phone to his ear.

"I'm at Port Town." He says. "...I'm at the dance club in Port Town."

"...What? Really?? Now?!"

"...Ugh, come on, Mom! I can't come home now! Baku is here!"

"...No, Mom, you don't understand. Baku is here, hosting a free rave. A FREE. RAVE. Right here, right now. When am I ever going to get another opportunity to go to one of his gigs for free, Mom? Huh?!"

"...MOM. It's BAKU. BA-KU. He is HERE, in Port Town, hosting a FREE. RAVE. How many ways do I need to spell it out for you?! I cannot. Come home now."

"...Ugh, screw this." Letting his hedonism get the better of him, the young man rudely ends the call with his mother, puts his cell phone back in his pocket, and proceeds to come back inside. We back our broom up so he can get in, and then we float into the air once more and resume our rhythmic swaying.

[Johan’s parasite] For a moment the parasite notices the person run by and watches, but soon finds itself bouncing again. The green peep soon goes back to boinging and moving about with the rabbit, forgetting what distracted him again.

[Johan] Johan listens, seeming to take offense, before going to pack up his stuff and leave. He turns back to let out a whistle to get the parasite back out of there, but it seems the green peep can’t hear him over the crowd. Johan just continues walking as if it was following, not knowing that it didn’t hear him. Meanwhile the parasite just continues looking around trying to find something or someone to latch onto. It would try to be soft and not hurt them at all, but it’s still a leech isn’t it?

[Rave Witch Temmie] When Baku winks at us, we put our paws to our mouth and let out a wide-eyed gasp. 

GAAAAAAASP

SENPAI NOTICED UUUUUUUUUSS

Normally, it would only be Temmie who was thinking that, and not me. But now, with our feelings synced up, it's both of us thinking that. Aaaaaaah~ 

We feel- no, she feels- I feel... We feel so honorrrrred~

...Was that another truck driver's gear change we just heard? Did the music just go back to F scale again? Hold on, that music sounds kinda familiar- IT'S RAVER'S FANTASY. I FREAKING KNEW IT. I had a feeling he was going to play that at some point. And- wait, wait, WAIT.

Raver's Fantasy in F scale? RAVER'S FANTASY IN F SCALE?!?! AKA, Raver's Fantasy but played one semitone lower than it's supposed to be?? H-How... How did he know?? HOW DID HE FREAKING KNOW?!?!

It's like... it's like going to a fast food place to order a cheeseburger, and having them put all the pickles on one side for you, and hold the lettuce, without even being told! Am... am I dreaming?? Have I died and gone to heaven? Have I died and gone to the great, big, rave-tastic dance party in the sky??

"ahahaha... ahahahaa... ahahahahahahaAHAHAHAHAHAAAA~!!1!1"

We practically shriek with joyous laughter as we quickly remove our hat, take our wand out, then put our hat back on and swing the wand around vigorously. We don't need any glow sticks- we're a witch. The wand begins to glow brilliantly as we wave and shake it round and round. We retract our legs a little, but leave them stretched enough so that we can still see Baku over the crowd. Geez Louise- what the heck is he doing up there?! We're a witch, but man, he is a freaking wizard with those turntables!

Hold on, is this the KC Caine remix of Raver's Fantasy? It kind of sounds a little like it... Wait, no, the KC Caine remix only remixes one part of the music, and Temmie and I are currently rocking out to another part of it... Is it both? Is it the original version of the song mixed with parts from the KC Caine remix? But... how is that even...

And there's yet another truck driver's gear change, this time to D-minor position. This switch is much more sudden than the past few, but at the same time it is also much more seamless. I didn't even notice it until after I'd heard the word "this". Dear god, our four ears are getting absolutely pampered in here. I feel like our ears have gone to a five-star resort and are having their every whim catered to. Then again, if it were just me in here, by myself, in my own body, my ears would probably be extremely sore right about now. I don't know how Temmie's ears have been able to handle listening to music this loud for as long as we've been doing. Come to think of it, I don't know how we've been able to keep dancing for this long, either, especially since we were feeling so tired and hungry when we got out of bed earlier.

But dance we do, and we have no desire to stop anytime soon. We are once again succumbing to the overpowering pull of the rhythm, the melody, the beat, the groove, the funky flow, the whatever you want to call it...

We are enraptured in its thrall... We can think about nothing else but listening and dancing. Listening and dancing. That is all we want to do. That is all that matters right now. There is nothing else.

Baku has us exactly where he wants us.

...And that's okay.

‘Cuz we know, if we're in love with him, toniiiiiight~

The lyrics stop as the music changes from D to C position. Oh, this is Rhythm and Drums, now! I love this one! We wave our wand in an arc over our head, back and forth, back and forth, a beautiful blue light trailing from it as it waves. We wave it below, back and forth, back and forth. We take a wobbly step back and swing our arms back and forth, back and forth. Then we clap, clap, clap, clap. We're just beginning to feel a hint of fatigue in our arms, particularly our right arm that's holding the wand, and our legs, which have been stretched up somewhat to let us see over the crowd.

But we continue to dance in spite of this. We absolutely do not want to stop dancing. We don't ever want to stop dancing. We wish we could keep dancing and dancing forever and ever...

If this is a dream... don't wake us up.

We stop our excited babbling for a moment and realize that we're not alone. Where'd these other people come from? The club was practically barren when we were here before, except for that skeleton guy who'd left a probably-Fresh parasite stuck on the harbor's map sign earlier. We don't remember seeing anyone else come here after that. However, we did go to sleep, and then visit Grillby's, in the meantime, so I suppose the others could have gathered here during our absence. One of the patrons, an eyeball monster standing upright on a cluster of tentacles (optic nerves?) catches our eye... so to speak. Before I can ask Temmie why she's so fixated on this monster in particular, she walks us over to him and says, "hOi!1! its me, Temmie!1"

"Eh?!"

"remeber me?? im Bakus biggest fan!1!"

"...Temmie?"

"ya, its me!1! i gota human SOUL so i walk like humans now!1 and i talk bettr to!1!1"

"...Well, Eye'll be. It really is you, isn't it? Where've you been all this time?"

"ive been wif human... ive been wantin to go to ravetime, but i coudnt cuz ive been livin wit human in her room and she didnt kno were raves were... but now, i brougt her here to do happy fun ravetiem with us!1! YAYA!1!!" We joyfully raise our paws in the air.

"All right! Sounds like a plan, Stan! Glad to see ya back!" He extends a tentacle towards us. We take it in our paw and shake it vigorously.

"yaya, gud to see yu to, Eyevan!1!"

[Johan] Johan soon enters the dance club after the tem, looking around in surprise and awe over the sheer amount of people and noise. If someone is watching him close enough for distinct details, they might possibly maybe just maybe notice his mouth water as at this point he is absolutely starving. From his side, a small neon pink marshmallow shaped creature manifests in his hand and drops down. Soon enough Johan shakes a bit and smacks himself out of it. He bravely steps forward to figure out what’s going on in the place, setting his bags down somewhere in the corner of the room by whatever chairs he could find. The parasite meanwhile jumps around on the floor, looking for a good source of magic. It notices the tem and looks over to who they’re talking t- ON MY GOD WHAT IS THAT THING?!? It stares at the staring creature and seems frozen by some sort of feeling deep down. What it is, it doesn’t even know itself, but oh well.

[Baku] Baku looked over when he heard the excited words of Temmie and grinned. At that he finished hooking up the speakers and moved to the DJ set, putting the headphones on and turning on the mic. "Yo yo, how's it goin' broskis? Yer main skele Baku here ready ta turn it up so get on that dance floor an' let's get this party rockin'!" At that the patrons all cheered and Baku started the music, cranking up the volume so that the speakers were vibrating with the bass of the music. As the music started Baku closed his eyes and let the notes surround him, creating his own little world where all that mattered was the music.

[Eyevan] "Whoa-ho-ho, careful there, little lady, or yer gonna-"

As soon as the mic turns on and Baku starts talking, we let go of Eyevan's tentacle and whip around to face the turntables, vibrating with anticipation as we stare, wide-eyed at our um, Temmie's favorite handsome DJ.

[Rave Witch Temmie] "Your 'main skele'?" I think, "But he's not a-"

My thoughts are cut off once he's done talking, as we stretch our arms into the air and wave them back and forth like wet noodles as we cry out, "YYYYAAAAAAAAAA!!1!1!"

[Eyevan] Eyevan does the same with his tentacles. "WOOOOOOOOOOO!!" he shrieks.

[Rave Witch Temmie] "Oh boy... Here we go..." I think, as the last of my nervousness is smothered by Temmie's overpowering excitement.

"I guess there's no turning back n-" The music blasts out of the speakers. "HOLY COW, THAT'S LOUD." With four ears to hear it with, that booming beat is being received by us in surround sound! Temmie's used to it, of course, but for me, it's more than a little overwhelming. Nevertheless, Temmie proceeds to swing our hips and thrust our arms to the beat of that... heavenly melody...

Wow, even I have to admit, despite how loud it is, this music is actually really, really good. It's almost making me want to help Temmie dance to it like I've always done when we've danced alone, but for now, I let her do it herself. She raises our arms and waves them back and forth, clapping to the beat.

[Johan] The parasite is caught off guard by the sudden loud noise booming from the black felt boxes and the strange people in the room. Johan is also caught off guard, but more from the headache from the lack of food. He decides to sit in the corner with his stuff and soon finds himself lying down, curled around his stuff. The red parasite looks over to him and decides he should fix this. It inches closer to the eye monster, takes a moment to ponder every life decision, before biting down on the mysterious red stuff.

[Eyevan] Eyevan is waving and wiggling his tentacles to the beat, when he suddenly feels something bite onto one of them.

"Yowch! What in the-" He shakes the bitten tentacle like someone who's just stubbed their toe, but any onlookers who don't see the parasite latched onto him may think his tentacle-thrusting is just part of his dance, as if he were doing the stanky-leg.

[Rave Witch Temmie] Temmie and I barely hear his yelp over the roar of the speakers, but as soon as we see him jerking his tentacle, we notice something all-too-familiar-looking attached to it...

"awawawa!1 Eyevan, noooo!!1" We can't hear our own voice much better than we heard his, it's so loud in here. We stretch our arm toward him and try to grab onto the parasite stuck to his flailing tentacle. We don't notice, but we're thrusting our arm at his tentacle to the beat of the music.

Thrust, thrust...

Thrust, thrust...

Grab!

We manage to catch the parasite, and attempt to yank it off Eyevan's tentacle, again to the beat of the music.

Tug, tug...

Tug, tug...

[Johan] The parasite, similarly to Johan, doesn’t have any sense of beat and ends up coming off easily as it was repeatedly tugged at, released, and tugged at again from its point of view. It lets out a squeak and looks to RWT before going to bite at their hand paw thing. Of course it doesn’t take much this time, but it does try to eat the magic out of the dust making up their fur. I think that’s how it works anyways. Either way it attempts to do so.

[Rave Witch Temmie] We got it! It's off! Wait, oh no! Now it's biting our paw!

"awawa!! noooooo!!1! get off!1!!"  We use our other paw to pull the parasite off, then stretch our arm high in the air as we toss it away.

We retract that arm back down and begin swinging both arms in front of us because holy cow this music is amazing. We swing our arms, one up, one down, up, down, up, down, one after the other, and shake our rump to the beat.

Man, oh man does it feel good to dance again. I simply cannot get over just how good it feels to- ...Did we just hear a woman screaming? It's hard to tell over the thundering roar of the music, but I can't help but think I just heard a scream somewhere in front of us, to the right...

Meanwhile, somewhere a little further into the crowd, the thrown parasite has landed in the hair of one of the human dancers. She shrieks as she scrambles to claw it out of her hair, then throws it down on the ground and stomps on it.

[Johan] The parasite squirms as it’s thrown, confusion and fear in its eyes. When it lands in the hair it stops moving because of the impact. When it’s thrown against the floor it lets out a squeak as it practically splats against the ground. Stomping on the parasite causes it to squish against the ground more, very painfully looking really. If its multiple stomps then eventually it would break, something seemingly pouring out of it. If that happens Johan would sit up and look around before summoning another parasite. A blue one at that.

[Rave Witch Temmie] The lady continues to stomp on the reddish-pink parasite, which alarms the other dancers around her. The ones closest to her move to the left to give her some space, which leads to the dancers to their left moving to the left as well, until the dancers to our right have moved close enough to Temmie and I for us to decide to move to the left as well, followed by Eyevan doing the same.

[Johan] Johan stands up and approaches the RWT to try and see what’s going on, not facing them but instead looking around for the source of the chaos. “What’s going on?” He speaks just loud enough to be heard over the crowd. At least for the tem. The parasite meanwhile looks like it’s losing consciousness as it seems to be completely deflating. The blue one eventually finds the red and tries to figure out what’s going on. It soon starts trying to clean the liquid that has escaped the red before trying to grab onto it the other. It must get the other out of there, right? It can do that surely!

[Rave Witch Temmie] We hear Johan, but don't realize that he's yelling at us. Besides, we are much too busy dancing to pay attention. This music is so mind-bogglingly awesome that it's downright entrancing. We're practically hypnotized by the sound. Oh... oh boy oh boy oh boy is that a truck driver's gear change we're hearing?? It sure sounds like a truck driver's gear change is about to-

OH MY GOD THE MUSIC'S IN F SCALE NOW! OH MY FREAKING GOD IT'S IN F SCALE THAT IS MY FAVORITE!! That's it. That is it. There is no way I can just sit idly and let Temmie do all the dancing for us anymore. That music is outright commanding me to dance. There is no resisting its call anymore.

At last, I retake partial control of our body, and we quickly re-synchronize our thoughts and movements. As a result, our dancing becomes more fluid; somewhat more... human-like...

[Johan] Johan soon notices he didn’t get any answer and looks to the tem, kneeling a bit to try and get closer. He hesitantly goes to tap the tem, but does manage to tap their ear. “Excuse me? I need to know. What happened?” Johan seems worried about something. It may be obvious to those that know. What happened to the parasites?

[Rave Witch Temmie] We're so zoned out that when Johan touches our ear, it startles us so badly that we cry out a bit, thinking it's a bug brushing against us or something. "AWAAA11!!" We whip around to face him.

"heyyyyyy1!1! dont do dat!! im dancin!!1 wy u not dancin??! dont touch me an start dancin alredy!!1" We turn back around and get back to boogieing down. We spin our arms and kick one foot into the air, then the other foot, then the other, back and forth. When was the last time that dancing felt this good...? I feel like I could keep dancing like this for hours...

[Johan] Johan watches in confusion. They’re not gonna help at all? He looks to the eye monster. “What about you? Do you know what happened?” Of course he’s not dancing. He doesn’t even know how to dance! I don’t even know what kind of song is playing so for all I know it’s the kind he’s not even interested in. I also want to know what situation the parasites are in. Is the blue one also stomped on? Does he manage to get the red one out of there? What happens?

[Eyevan] The blue parasite, meanwhile, has had to slither past several sets of feet, and possibly other appendages, to reach the reddish-pink one that's been squashed. If it wants to get its squashed partner back to Johan, it's going to have to maneuver past the dancing, stamping feet again, without getting stepped on, itself. Back where we are, Eyevan swivels around to face Johan.

"Do Eye know what happened? Buddy, Eye haven't got a clue what yer talkin' about! All Eye know is that somethin' was sinkin' its teeth into me a little earlier, until Temmie here saved the day by yankin' it off! She's a good egg, that little fuzzball, ain't she?" He turns back around and resumes waving his tentacles to the beat.

[Rave Witch Temmie] Temmie and I are swinging our hips around and pumping our arms in the air. We're so entrenched in our dancing that we barely hear Eyevan talking. We're only listening to the mesmerizing sounds of the incredible electronic dance music being blasted at us from across the room. We can't pay attention to anything except our dancing. We've been consumed by the rhythm.

[Johan] Johan listens but becomes visibly disappointed and even frustrated. He looks to Temmie before sighing. He summons another parasite and goes to stand in front of Eyevan again. He holds it out to him. “Did it look like this, sir? I’m looking for where it went. I-I think it got hurt!” Meanwhile, yes the blue parasite maneuvers well enough to avoid everyone easily. The only problem is would he get stomped on by the lady stomping the red one?

[Eyevan] Eyevan looks at the thing Johan's holding... and his pupil contracts in shock as he realizes that that's the thing that bit him, just in a different color! "GAAH!! Where'd you get that li'l sucker from?! Keep it away!" Eyevan then skitters away from Johan, and us, all the way to the far left of the crowd. Our left, that is. For Baku, it's his right.

[Rave Witch Temmie] Temmie and I do hear Eyevan's startled yelp, and take a quick peek to the side to check on him, only to see he's not there. Huh... wonder where he went? Probably somewhere else in the crowd. Oh well. It would appear that the blue parasite has successfully recovered the squashed red-pink one from the woman who stepped on it, and has managed to bring it back to the rear of the crowd where Johan, Temmie, and I are.

[Johan] Johan looks very disappointed when Eyevan leaves, and takes the parasite back. He looks to the tem before noticing the parasites have come back. He gasps. ”Never mind I found them!” He picks up the red and blue peeps and desummons them, taking the magic back. He then leans closer to Cookie-tem and tries to sound convincing. “Hey, I never caught your name but, I wanted to talk to you. It’s hard to explain but I feel like I should for some reason. Also I’m really hungry, do you know anyplace I could get some?” He wonders if the other has caught on to what kind of food he needs or not.

[Rave Witch Temmie] This time, we do hear Johan, since he's come so close to us. Though we don't really appreciate being interrupted again, we decide that now would be as good a time as any to take a breather from dancing so hard (especially since Baku has done another "truck driver's gear change" with the music, and I'm not as into this particular scale as I am with F scale).

We turn to face Johan and say, "yer hungry? den go back to Grillbz and get food! we were just dere! then yu can come back here an' dance wif us!"

[Johan] “B-but... I don’t need that kind! I’m starving and I don’t know what to do! And besides, I don’t know how to dance! And... I want to stick with you if that’s ok...” Johan fidgets slightly, a bit uncomfortable feeling. He soon finds himself staring at their hair. Another parasite manages to summon itself. A small green peep appears and jumps onto their tail, trying to stick to it and eat their fur. Johan doesn’t seem to notice at all.

[Rave Witch Temmie] "yu can stick wit me if yu dance wit me! dis is a rave! your supposd to dance at a rave! now get dancin!" We turn back around and are about to resume dancing when we feel something grab our tail.

"awawaa?!?" We shake our tail- and our whole rump- as hard as we can, trying to dislodge the parasite. "let go 'a me! let go 'a meee!1!"

[Johan] Johan listens but when they say he can only stay if he dances he pouts and speaks in a bit of a whine. “B-But I don’t know how! I can’t!” When the tem starts shaking he notices the parasite. He jolts before swiping it back. It pouts in his hand before he tosses it behind him, causing it to squeak while in air before smacking against the wall. Once he knows it’s gone he looks back to the tem, the parasite possibly sliding down the wall slowly in the distance.

“Please? Do you at least know someone that can help? Anyone?” He’s starting to sound desperate, even childish, as he pleads and begs like a lost dog left in the streets. Then again it sorta makes sense considering how young he is and how he’s in Port Town without any friends to help him out. Of course he has to fend for himself, but he doesn’t know any good way to do so.

[Rave Witch Temmie] We feel Johan yank the parasite off. Without turning back around, we tell him... "go to Grillbys! dey got food! now go get food or dance wit me!!1" Since we're not totally engrossed in the music like we were before, it comes to our attention that we can't really see Baku from here, because the people in front of us are taller than we are.

“Okay, now that that’s done... can we finally get off of Baku’s lap, now?” “awwww...”

[Johan] Johan watches the tem before them as they eat. His hunger begins to get the best of him though as he begins reaching towards the tem, but he stops himself and pulls back before anyone could notice, and looks to the crowd gathering around the NPC person. Of course there’s no reaction from them, they’re completely out cold. They do seem a bit drained though as if part of their life has just been stolen from them. The parasite begins to get anxious and decides to sneak past the crowd to try and find a safer place or another source of magic. Johan meanwhile goes back to the tem and Baku, listening in on the offer and the poor choking tem. “No thanks. I’ve never danced before anyway. Maybe once when someone put alcohol of some sort in my drink at a party but... I don’t think that counts.” he shrugs, but then thinks. Maybe if he goes he could find more food. After a long pause he decides to find out for himself. “Would people bring food or snacks or something?”

[Rave Witch Temmie] We clear our throat and swallow.

"were all done wit our fries," we whisper, our voice sounding a bit hoarse, "yu can have da rest if you want..." The fry tray is on the counter in front of us, with only seven more fries left in it.

[Haze] Haze shifts, glancing around at everyone some. So no one else was too worried about this guy?? Guess they were fine then... Haze decides that this is the truth and somewhat faces towards Baku as they speak up, shrugging some, "Ey broski I could try a lil dances out, might as well, maybe it'll get me checkin’ out dis area more ya know?" He says, shrugging lazily and shoving his hands in his pockets.

[Frisbee] Frisbee would look over, shrugging. “I guess I could join, but I prolly won’t stay for too long, I still want ta explore a bit...” He would stand up from his crouch, back to thinking he goes... He thinks a little too much huh...

[Baku] "Nah I'm good." At that he moved Temmie to the floor and stood up, stretching. "Right let's head ta the club then, follow me if yer comin'." At that Baku paid for the food and headed to the door, excited to get his hands on a DJ set again.

[Rave Witch Temmie] SWEEEEEEET FREEDOOOOOOOOM!!

We're about to follow Baku out the door, but...

"Shouldn't we drink something first? Our throat's really dry from all those fries, isn't it?"

"o ya..."

We turn around and yell out, "im comin! i just needa drink first!" Then we scoot around behind the counter...

[Johan] Johan watches the other leave before looking around. The parasite begins trying to sneak past everyone and soon joins back up with Johan, who of course looks away as the parasite disappears into his hand. No one sees that right? So sneaky! When the tem goes behind the counter Johan decides to follow to see what they’re up to. “Are you alright? I’m not sure you’re supposed to be able to eat that much salt at once.”

[Rave Witch Temmie] "ya... i need a drink..." We search the shelves behind the counter for something to drink. Gee, these don't look good. Where's the water? Maybe if we could find the sink, we could just turn the faucet on and take a drink from that? "weres da sink?? i need water!1!"

...You know what? We're going into the back room. I don't care that we're not allowed back there. We need to drink, and fast, because Temmie is not about to let us be late to the dance party. We trot over to the back door and hurry inside.

"weres da sink??"

"im lookin, im lookin..."

"aa, my throte..."

"..."

"...aha!1 here it is!1!!"

We stretch our legs and raise ourself up to the faucet, and turn the handle to run the cold water. Then we take our hat off and stick our mouth under the water. glug glug glug glug...

Whoa, that's cold. But whatever. We'll take what we can get. Once we've drank our fill, we turn the water off, put our hat back on, retract our legs, and step back into the dining room.

"aaa... much bettr." we say, our mouth still dripping. Alright, we're all set! We've eaten, we've drank, and we're not feeling lightheaded anymore; we're ready to dance! We trot across the room, shivering with excitement. Temmie has been waiting far too long for this- she's finally going to get to rave again after months of not being able to, and she's going to get to bring me along this time.

On our way to the door we pass by Haze, and his colorful outfit catches our eye. We weren't really able to get that good of a look at him earlier while he was talking to Baku, because we were so focused on eating our fries, but now that we're done, we look him up and down and think that jacket of his looks awfully soft and fluffy... We kind of want to touch it. But we need to get to the dance club! But that jacket just looks so... enticing...

...Okay, maybe just one little touch before we go. Just one. We stretch our paw out to where Haze is standing, and give his jacket a quick pat...

"hnnnnn~"

...and then retract our paw before darting out of the pub, eager to meet up with Baku at the dance club.

[Johan] Johan quietly watches the tem, smiling despite not really meaning to or having a reason to, and waits until they’re done. When the tem pats the other person in the area and leaves, Johan gathers his stuff and follows after. He very much wants to stick with this person for now. Even though they are weird, something inside the kid makes him feel he needs to stick with them for now. And thus he follows them to the dance club.

[Frisbee] Frisbee would soon just get up and follow, deciding however to take a small detour first before going to the dance club, why not he had not a lot to do.

[Rave Witch Temmie] We run out of Grillby's pub and into the dance club like a kid running for the ice cream truck.

[Baku] Baku startled when he felt a sudden biting pain in his arm, nearly knocking Temmie out of his lap but managing to keep them in place. However once the bite strengthened and he felt some of his energy draining he growled as the lights in his eyes flared up for a second before stabilizing once again. He then yanked the creature off his arm without toppling Temmie and slid it across the counter despite wanting to throw it into the wall but managing to keep his cool. "Little pest, again wit the bs o' me gettin' funkin' attacked when I did nothin' wrong." It was clear Baku was irritated but he managed to calm down after taking a deep breath. "Just tryin' ta relax while enjoyin' a bro an' a fan's company fer funk sake, is dat too much ta ask jeez." It was at this point Baku heard the familiar sound of the door opening and turned to see who had entered, grinning when he spied a familiar face. "Yo Haze, how's it hangin' haven't seen ya in a while, whatcha doin' at Port Town broseph."

[Johan] Johan watches from a bit aways as his parasite is yanked off in a way that makes it painful just to watch. It rolls slightly before getting its bearing and looks up to Baku, clearly upset about that, before slinking away. Johan tries not to react, but the word pest echoes through his mind. Finally, the squeaking of the opening door pulls him out of it and he looks over to the newcomer. “Hello?”

[Rave Witch Temmie] "awawah!1!"

Baku's reaction to the parasite startles us, and reminds me a little of our first meeting... except of course, that yellow thing obviously wasn't trying to protect me from Baku like Carrie was. Pfah.

Oh, no... some of the fries spilled. Ugh...

We scoop out a handful of the fries that didn't spill and stuff them in our mouth. We need to start eating, now.

[Haze]  Haze watched this all with confusion, but jumps some when finally addressed, giving his normal smile to Baku, shifting where he stood a moment, before walking up and offering a simple high five in greeting, "Yo yo bro, uhh... Dunno exactly, jus' uhh, checkin' shiz out, lookin' round ya know??" He says simply, before glancing at the other voice that gave a soft hello, grinning some, "Heyo broski, names Haze, what’s your name??" This time, a hand is outstretched in more of fist-bump gesture, looking to the new face curiously.

[Rave Witch Temmie] Nom nom nom... Huh? Someone else is in here? And he knows Baku, too? We can't ask him who he is just yet, as we haven't finished chewing our fries. We need to focus on that. Just forget about Baku for a second... just chew the fries, just chew the fries...

[Frisbee] Frisbee would keep spectating, growing anxious again, so many parasites from what he can tell, even if they were friendly, he was thinking on how this group should be enemies, ah he's thinking too hard again, rip.

[Baku] Baku makes a noise of surprise when the food spilled but quickly cleaned it up before his favorite shorts got stained. He then huffed at the peep, "Don't like it than don't bite me next time aiight, it was a jerk reaction so sorry but deal." It was at this point Haze greeted him and he grinned as he returned the high five, "Ah gotcha, well this is a p' cool place so can't blame ya." This is when he noticed the other person in the room and grinned, waving slightly, "Yo didn't see ya there, what's up my man?"

[Johan] Johan watches everything going on silently, but when he’s greeted he can’t help but let off a small smirk. He reaches his hound out in a fist as a response of sorts. “Heya! My name is Johan!” before the impact of the fist bump by now, his hand suddenly shifts before clasping the other’s hand. He grins innocently as if he doesn’t know what he’s doing wrong. “But you could call me Dedtimee!” the yellow parasite by now decided to get away from the crowd and looks around for some random person elsewhere in the pub. An NPC you could call it. If it finds one, it latches onto the back of the person’s neck and starts doing its thing soft enough to somehow not be noticed. It’s basically just a neon leech at this point.

[Rave Witch Temmie] Nom nom... gulp. We finish our first mouthful of fries. We take a second handful, trying to keep any more fries from spilling out of the container while Baku jostles us about as he moves.

[Haze] Haze looks at them curiously-if he was a dog his tail would be wagging for sure-smiling big before letting a slight hint of confusion dawn onto his face as they grasp his hand, "Uh..heh, 'ight broski!! Nice to meet ya...??" He says simply, "That ain’t quite how ya do a fist bump though bro, ain’t gonna lie, but you do you," Seems Haze doesn’t care too much about the failed fist bump, though he does cast another glance down at his hand as if he'd been hoping for one for some inevitably non-important reason.

[Rave Witch Temmie] Who is this guy.

Why does he know Baku.

Why are we still sitting here on his lap.

We put our second handful of fries in our mouth. Nom nom nom...

[Frisbee] Frisbee was uh.. sitting there, quietly having a sudden panic attack, yep he's uh... not okay, so... don't mind him shaking in his seat and being in the corner of said seat now.

[Baku] Baku turned back and relaxed in his chair once more. However shortly after he noticed Frisbee freaking out and raised a brow bone. "Yo you aiight broseph, ya don't look so good, maybe you should get a room at the hotel an' crash fer a bit or heck maybe even head home, seems like that skele you were wit before has forgotten 'bout ya anyway." As he was talking his arms wrapped around Temmie once more so that she wasn't jostling about as much.

[Rave Witch Temmie] "mmrrrmrrrgh... mmmrghtr rrt mrrr..." We can't talk with our mouth full. We quickly finish chewing the fries and swallow hard. Ouch... that took more effort to swallow than I would have liked. Too bad we don't have a drink... "awawaaa... Bakuuuu... i gotta eat my friiiiies..."

It's a little harder for us to get the fries out of the container and to our mouth with him hugging us like this. I can already feel my heart- or is that my soul- shaking like a leaf. Wait, maybe he's doing this on purpose to prolong our stay. Ugh, that scumbag... His hug does feel kinda nice, though... 

[Johan] Johan soon lets go of the other’s hand and nods. “Yeah, I guess you’re right.” after a moment his hand goes to fidget with his necklace nervously as he stares at what the other is wearing. At this moment he finally wakes up completely and realizes what the others are wearing. God does it hurt his eyes. “Excuse me for a second.” Johan stands and goes over to Baku and RWT and tries his best kind smile, a bit nervously. “Hey, Tem? I just wanted to see if you were OK. Last night you... well I don’t remember quite clearly but I do remember worrying about you. I’m not sure what it was but I do know you left and I blacked out, woke up under a table or something... How are you today?” He didn’t realize he was about to ramble until the last part where he just skipped to the point. He looks tired still. None of this has woken him up at all.

[Rave Witch Temmie] "t-today?? awawa... i was realy hungry... i gotta eat my fries but Bakus makin it kinda hard..." Looks like Temmie and I are getting back into the habit of speaking as one. Baku's unexpected return last week had thrown off our coordination and has been making it hard for us to act in unison lately, due to our conflicting feelings about him. Good to know that we're making at least some progress on being able to act like one individual again...

[Haze] Haze wasn’t entirely sure as to what to do right now, eventually settling with sitting beside Baku, the ears of his hat flopping some as he just plops himself down, glancing curiously at the Temmie in Baku’s lap, head tilting some.

[Rave Witch Temmie] "Hnnnn, this is so creepyyyy...

Baku's hugging uuuusss... It's so creepyyyy... It's kinda nice...

But it's so CREEPY...!! Maybe we should hug him back...

Ugggh!! We need to finish our fries!!"

Our minds are racing a mile a minute. We need to eat our fries. Baku is distracting us. The others are distracting us. We need to eat our fries.

Baku is hugging us~  WE NEED. TO. EAT. OUR. FRIES.

[Frisbee] Frisbee would take a minute or so to reply, shivering.

"Th-thinkin' too much yo." He would glance to the others, attempting to relax again. "Oh he never seems to forget, he'll find me sooner or later..."

[Rave Witch Temmie] We attempt to grasp a single French fry from the container with the limited amount of space our arms have. Once we have it in our grip, we sneak it into our mouth. munch, munch...

[Baku] Baku lowered his arms so that they were wrapped around Temmie's waist so that it was easier for her to eat and then nodded. "Well either way maybe ya should head home fer a bit, get some time ta yerself before he comes back."

[Johan] Johan sighs and smiles. “At least you’re alright then.” He looks to Baku and considers just stealing the tem out of his arms and walking off with them. Of course he can’t do that though. “Well... I don’t feel comfortable here and you don’t seem comfy either... I would suggest to go elsewhere but I’m starving and I need food so... I guess that’s out of the question?” He shrugs nervously. By now that NPC from before would faint, causing a cluttering sound from falling headfirst into the table. The parasite jumps off and slinks into hiding before anyone can suspect anything hopefully, but that sound might’ve just attracted unwanted attention.

[Haze] Haze glances over some at the clatter of some random person falling against the table, casting a glance around... Was no one else put off by this? Because he sure as heck was, tilting his head some more and glancing to Baku, "This place is all up freakin' wacky..." he mutters simply.

[Rave Witch Temmie] Okay, phew, we can move our arms again. Just a few more fries to go, and then we’ll be done. Our throat’s feeling a little uncomfortable from being made to swallow so many fries so quickly (up to six or seven at once), but if it can just hold out for two more mouthfuls, we’ll be home free. We scoop out our third handful of fries, but before we can put them in our mouth, we hear someone’s head bang against the table.

“EEEEP!1!!1” Startled, we squeeze our paw around the fries we’re holding, hug the container against our chest with the other, and whip our head in the direction the loud bang came from.

[Frisbee] Frisbee was about to say something, but the noise caused him to jump and look over, confused once again, but he would quickly look back at Baku, frowning. “Yeah brah I really should, but this place intrigues me. I feel like I should look ‘round a bit while I still can, then go back home.”

[Baku] Baku looked at the person who was talking to Temmie and raised a brow bone, though the curiosity on his face soon vanished and was replaced with a glare. He then moved to say something but was cut off by a loud bang which startled him slightly and he instantly turned his head to look at where the sound had come from. When he saw the person fainted at the other table confusion flashed across his face before it went completely stoic. It was at this point Frisbee distracted him with talking and Baku turned his attention to that, nodding. "Yeah like I said this place is full o' cool stuff, walkin' around can be real interestin' so I totally get what ya mean bro."

[Johan] Johan heard the sound and seeing everyone react he then pretends to be startled, not making any sound along with it though as to not draw attention to his delayed reaction. Soon he looks around for a place to sit near RWT, feeling like he should talk to them. He also goes to order food, not seeming very sure of what to eat. He ends up getting chips. The parasite peeks out of hiding to see that everyone but Johan seemed to hear the sound. Dang. It can’t get away now can it? It then slinks back into hiding hoping to wait the attention out.

[Rave Witch Temmie] Who was that? What happened to them?? Are they okay?! As worried as we are about the person who just fell, we can’t check on them yet because we’re not done with our fries! We move our fry tray back into our lap and stuff the fries we were holding into our mouth.

munch munch, nom nom... Only a few more fries left after we get this mouthful down. We can eat the rest of them in one more bite.

Just keep chewing, just keep chewing... Let’s hug Baku after this- no, just keep... chewing...

[Haze] Haze seemed a hint more curious about the passed out bar patron than everyone else apparently, because he actually walks over, poking at them some, though he wasn’t observant enough to notice the nearby hiding parasite.

[Frisbee] Frisbee would soon get up, going over as well, silent as he thought on what to do, he couuulld pick them up and place them somewhere... but honestly he didn't want to, he couldn't be bothered to do so, why did he walk over anyway? Hm...

[Rave Witch Temmie] Okay, phew, the others are getting up to check on whoever fell over. That means we can keep focusing on our fries. Munch munch munch... Just chew and swallow. Chew and... swallow. There we go.

Ow, our throat’s getting sore...

“We’re almost done, Temmie.” I think to her. “Just one more bite, okay? Just one more. Can you hold out for one more bite?”

“awawa... ok...”

“Thank you, Temmie. You don’t know how much this means to me, that you’re willing to do this. Thank you so-”

“can we hug Baku after th-”

[Johan’s parasite] I guess this means the parasite was in the tissue box. When it hears the others wake up it peeks out of the box, feeling a bit sluggish from nearly over stuffing itself. It may seem a bit chubby if there was enough to take. When it’s out of their sight it crawls out and goes to follow them, not as lively as when it was simply searching for food.

[Rave Witch Temmie] We leave the hospital, feeling hungry and weak.

"were is foooood...??"

"...lets try in dere. i bet deres food dere." We weakly walk towards Grillby's.

[Johan’s parasite] As the tem walks along a small yellow peep-like creature slink along after them. It seems chubby somehow as if it tried to eat something it couldn’t contain. Either way, it’s making it slower than normal as it has to take some time to catch up to the tem it was able to keep up with before.

[Rave Witch Temmie] Hungry and weak, we are about to walk into Grillby's when- gasp- we see that you-know-who is in there. Thankfully, he's not facing the door. So, before we can be spotted, we move to the side of the door and lean back against the wall outside, where he won't see us.

"huuumaaaan... im huuungryyyyy...!1!1"

"i kno, Tem... i am too... but i dont wanna go in dere with him..."

"but humaaaaan...!1! i wanna eeaaaaattt!!1!"

"i kno, but..."

"huumaaaaaannn...1!11"

As much as I’d like to just waltz on in there and grab a bite, I’m concerned that if Baku tries any funny business, we won’t be in any condition to do anything about it. We’re hungry, and for some reason, feeling rather weak and lightheaded as well. Eating would at least solve one of our problems, but the food we need is in the same place as the one that we- or rather, I- am trying to avoid talking to. We could try going somewhere else, but being so hungry and weak, we don’t want to have to put in the effort to do that. The food is already so close...

...And yet, so far...

And so we are left standing outside of Grillby’s, just to the side of the door, out of sight of anyone who’s inside, lamenting our lack of nourishment and this inexplicable feeling of weakness which we’ve woken up with.

[Johan’s parasite] Eventually, the small yellow parasite catches up to the tem. It looks up, staying at least 3 feet away for safety purposes, and wonders what to do next. It looks around, considering going back to Johan, but at the same time seems curious to what the tem is doing. Maybe, just maybe, that rest gave them a bit more room? The parasite thinks. It feels like it has more than it can handle and yet it feels like its hunger can never be satisfied. After a long while of hesitation it turns to head back to the dance party place. And thus the parasite left to fulfill its purpose. Off to the dance floor!

[Frisbee] Frisbee would nod, hesitating to eat again.

“Yeah brah. It really does suck. I would love to run away, but yanno he would catch me quick. So I don’t really bother.”

He would suddenly perk up, having heard the Temmie and just looking at the direction he heard them. “...huh.” He would comment something inaudible before finally bringing the courage to start eating again.

[Baku] Baku nodded, understanding what his fellow parasite meant. Errors were a tricky bunch, he knew that from experience, one moment they're perfectly fine and the next they're trying to kill you. It was never fun to run into an Error, yeah sure he himself could be just as unpredictable but the other parasite didn't need to know that, now, did they. It was at this time he heard faint muttering from outside and raised a brow bone as he turned to the door, curious since it sounded familiar.

[Rave Witch Temmie] "im so hungryyyyy..." Temmie whines.

"i kno... i am too..." I reply.

Ugh, this is pointless. We need to eat something, and we're too hungry to try to look for somewhere else to eat. Maybe we could try to... sneak in? I mean, Baku looked like he was busy talking to someone else. Maybe if we just open the door very slowly and quietly while his back's turned, he won't notice. Reluctantly, we trudge back to the door and sloooooowly push it open...

[Frisbee] Frisbee would watch the door, quietly eating his fries, was that Chip? Oh god he hoped not... He would again mumble something inaudible, although it seemed like he would be counting, from what little could be heard, he would be saying numbers, wait why was he counting-

[Rave Witch Temmie] We push the door open just enough for us to squeeze our way inside... Slowly. Because we're still super hungry and lightheaded, and thus, can't get inside any faster.

[Baku] Baku watched the door with curiosity and then grinned when he saw who it was, well, looks like his favorite toy was back once again, funny that. However for now he let them be and went back to his drink. He wasn't going to show his true nature in front of the skele beside him nope and honestly he just wanted to relax anyway. "So whatcha gonna do from here broseph?" This question was directed at Frisbee. Not trying to lull Temmie into a false sense of security, nope not at all.

[Rave Witch Temmie] OH CRUD HE'S LOOKING RIGHT AT US- oh, never mind. Looks like he's still busy with something else. That was close...

"h-h-h-h-mmf." I gently cover our mouth with our free paw.

"Remember, we're not here to talk to Baku. We're just here to get food."

"o-o-ok..." We step the rest of the way inside and gently close the door.

Even though Baku already knows that we're in here... eeeghh... We should still try to just let him do his thing over at the counter and attract as little attention to ourselves as possible. We move in the direction that Baku is facing away from, keeping to the wall as we approach the counter.

[Frisbee] Frisbee would sigh in relief once seeing it was just a Temmie, he relaxes once again, looking at Baku. "I don't know honestly, I have to go back to Chipperooni eventually, but I don't know what I should do before he comes back, I barely know this place, like what the funk is around here anyway?" He would move his fries again, just deciding to not finish them, he wasn't entirely hungry anymore, he was thinking a little too hard on certain matters that ruined his appetite too.

[Baku] "There's a lot o' shiz here, there's stores, the boardwalk, a dance club, heck there's even a funking aquarium. There's a lot ta do here just gotta pick whatcha wanna do an' go fer it." At that Baku grinned. "Though I personally like the dance club myself honestly, good music, rad DJ set, an' some o' the best dang alcohol in this place."

[Rave Witch Temmie] The dance club.

...That's right. We were going to dance there, but we didn't have enough time to try and figure out how to get the music to play on the speakers. I mean, yes, we definitely could ask Baku about that now that we're here, but...

...I preemptively cover our mouth with our paws before Temmie can ask Baku for help. That is not why we're here. I do not want his help with that. We can figure it out ourselves; we just need a little time. We're just here to eat. That's it.

We notice that the other skeleton- wait, was he the one Baku was with when we ran past him at the boardwalk? ...Anyway, he doesn't look like he's interested in eating any more of his fries. I wonder if... maybe... could we possibly...

We inch closer and closer to the side of the counter, still keeping to the side of the room, behind Baku's back.

[Johan] After some time walking, Johan comes across the door of the pub. He reads the signs and stuff to make sure it’s open before walking in. He looks tired somehow and yet he’s at least walking, paying attention to his surroundings and everything. As he walks in he seems to look around the place as if scanning the crowd, knowing what he’s in for. He finds a few people obviously, but the one familiar stands out to him, thus he begins to walk over. He can’t help but smile as he does so, carrying himself and his bags as if nothing is going wrong at all. “Hey! Funny we keep running into each other, right?” he speaks softly as he notices there are other people nearby and of course he makes sure not to interrupt their conversation. He doesn’t really care for them at the moment so he doesn’t really recognize what they are just yet, only that they seem to stand out. The tem stands out more though. Colors AND general figure.

[Rave Witch Temmie] "eep! shhhh!1!"

Oh great, it's that dude again. The one who left what was most likely a Fresh parasite back at the harbor. That squirmy little blue thing that Temmie wanted to hug, and then it got stuck to our arm. Blech.

[Frisbee] Frisbee would just... ignore the Temmie, seeing as they weren't entirely a threat to him, so why not ignore them? "Interestin'. This place is pretty big then yes?" He would just, casually move his fries to the side, closer to Temmie, because why not. "A dance club huh... sounds pretty cool." He goes back to this thinking state, just pondering on small things.

[Baku] Baku grinned and nodded. "Yep, mad huge. It's cool though, gives us more ta do here when not on the island." Baku's grin then widened at the mention of the dance club. "Heck yeah it is, man I funking love dat place, it is my home away from home. Music is my passion an' dancin' is the game, I'm a DJ fer life. Nothin' compares ta hearin' yer music blastin' as the lights flash an' everybody moves ta the beat."

[Rave Witch Temmie] Hearing Baku say this, we find ourself grinning without realizing it...

...I preemptively cover our mouth again to stop Temmie from commenting on what he just said. We glance at Johan, and use the paw we covered our mouth with to make a "shhh" gesture, then we continue to sidle along the wall. We're almost to the other side of the room...

...Wait, the fries are between him and the other guy. Dang it, how are we going to do this? Maybe if we crouch down and crawl behind the counter...? We get down on all fours and tiptoe around the back of the counter. Unfortunately, we're still feeling too weak to do this very quickly...

[Johan] Johan watches the tem and listens in on part of the conversation. After realizing what the tem is after he hides his hand behind his back to discretely summon a yellow peep again. It crawls down his leg and inches up the wall next to the tem, hoping to get the fries for the tem. Look at him! He wants to help! Good boy! He steps back to avoid suspicion and goes to sit somewhere nearby, looking out the window. They will never suspect a thing.

[Rave Witch Temmie] "so hungry... im so hungryyyyy..."

"I know, Temmie, we're almost there. Just a little farther..."

The fries, however, are on the counter, not the wall, so the so-called "peep" isn't going to be able to reach the fries by sticking to the wall. Now that we've made it behind the counter, all we need to do is stretch our paw up over it and nab the fries. Those fries are almost ours... almost...

[Frisbee] "Yo wait, there's an island? Huh... neat I guess." Great another person was here, er, skeleton. "I like to listen to some music once in a while. So I might visit the dance club just to hang out brah." He would glance around, again ignoring the Temmie, since they seemed to be nervous of the skeleton in front of him.. he couldn't fathom why...

[Rave Witch Temmie] Alright, here goes...

From our hiding place behind the counter, we stretch our paw up until it reaches the top. Oh... oh no, the fries aren't here. Let's try again... We retract our paw, then stretch it back up to a different spot on the countertop. Wait... we can feel something! It's...

...Wait, that does not feel like French fries. It feels like we're touching something with the same texture as the glow necklace we have around our neck. We curl our paw around it. It feels like more than one-

A mounting sense of dread fills our chest as I realize we are touching Baku's wrist.

[Baku] "Yep, it only opens on the weekends though, neat place if a bit unpredictable. I've only been there a few times but it ain't bad." Baku then smiled. "Radical, can't wait ta see ya there, especially when I get the DJ set." It was at this point he felt something tugging lightly on the glow bracelets around his wrist and looked down, seeing a familiar paw, perfect timing. At that thought Baku grabbed the paw with his own hand and hoisted Temmie up. He then sat her in his lap and grinned as he wrapped his arms around her, embracing her as he talked, "Ya know if ya wanted the fries all ya had ta do was ask sweetheart."

[Rave Witch Temmie] We are just about to retract our paw when suddenly, YANK!

"awaaaaaah!1!" We shriek. We find ourselves being pulled right over the countertop and straight into Baku's waiting arms.

"AWAWAWAWAWA-ACK"

Our cries are cut off suddenly as we involuntarily gag a bit. Ugh, we don't even have the energy to scream, we're so hungry and lightheaded...

Uuuughhh... All we can do at this point is hide our face in our paws... and press our head into Baku's chest as we do so (which squashes our witch's hat). How utterly pathetic...

[Johan] The yellow peep continues to climb until it’s in range to jump onto the counter. From there it begins trying to sneak over to the fries as quickly as possible. If nothing stops it, it goes to pick up a fry and look for the tem. The moment it sees the witch on the other’s lap it flinches. After a moment of thought it would devour the fry before grabbing 3 more and rushes over to them to help. At this point Johan has looked over from the screeching to see what’s going on. He doesn’t get up yet but he does watch.

[Frisbee] Frisbee would watch this interaction, just assuming that the tem and skeleton knew each other well, and shrugged it off, ahhh if only he knew lol "Yo that's sweet, that you're happy with what you do by the way. Passion is what matters yanno?"

[Baku] Baku grinned when the Temmie turned into his chest, sweet victory. At that thought he caught sight of the little peep and raises a brow bone, confusion flashing across his face for a brief moment. However when the peep rushed over with fries and hand followed by Temmie's groaning he chuckled, as he thought. At that he picked up the peep oddly gently and held it up for Temmie to see. "Heh relax would ya, I don't bite an' ya know it, look yer little friend is tryin' ta help." It was at this point he turned back to Frisbee and smiled, "Yeah I completely agree, gotta have fun or life gets borin' y'know."

[Johan] The peep seems confused by being picked up but doesn’t really care. He’s getting closer to where he has to be. When he’s close enough he holds the fry out, leaning forward slightly and holding the fry horizontally, the end pointed towards the tem. It cares, see? Johan continues watching worriedly. Baku doesn’t seem trustworthy to Johan, but he shouldn’t approach yet. Heck what could he do anyway? He’s weak, starving, powerless, no matter who the other turns out to be he wouldn’t stand a chance.

[Rave Witch Temmie] "nnnnnnnghhh..." We weakly lift our head to look at the- OH NO!!1! Not another one of those things!

"EEEE- cough" We try to scream again, but our voice is too weak, and is beginning to sound a bit hoarse. All we can do is sit helplessly in Baku's lap and stare at the thing-that-is-almost-certainly-another-Fresh-parasite-even-though-Temmie-doesn't-know-what-Fresh-parasites-are, in Baku's hand.

...Why is it holding fries in its mouth?? Is it giving them to us??

"ewww..." I know better than to eat fries that have already been in someone else's mouth, especially that thing's mouth. Ick.

[Frisbee] Frisbee would finally notice the peep, his glasses switching to saying "what" because it confused him, but otherwise he didn't make much of an attempt to like.. talk about it or interact with it. "Yeah brah, having fun is the sweetest thing ever, it's the bomb." He would grin, leaning back in his seat, also taking a mental note of what the hell was going on, not like he understood it much though.

[Rave Witch Temmie] My instincts are prodding at me to climb out of Baku's lap and onto the countertop, and Temmie's too frustrated by our gnawing hunger to object to this idea, but said gnawing hunger is also what's preventing me from acting on the instinct to escape. Baku has one arm around us and the other is holding a parasite with fries in its mouth, which I am certain both he and it want us to eat... But we can't eat those... We grimace in discomfort.

[Baku] Baku chuckled. "As stubborn as ever, here." At that he sat the peep down and picked up the fries, handing them to the Temmie before sitting back in his chair. "Would ya relax already, I ain't gonna do anything." He then smiled at Frisbee. "Completely agree."

[Johan] The parasite huffs as he could tell the other thought he was gross. That’s why they didn’t accept his fries? He soon spits the fries out and goes to bite at Baku’s hand or possibly arm. This is for scaring the tem! It soon bites down harder if possible and makes and attempt to drain some of his magic. And this is for picking the parasite up when he didn’t want! Johan just sorta watches, not completely sure what to do about the situation. He’s a bit nervous for their well-being but... he still needs energy to do anything.
