These gays are SO ANNOYING

My Ten kinsona! His name is Klinkè <3 💫🔌

Various other doodles, one with Ten, the other with my main S/I Jazari!

Thank you to The Gurt™ for drawing him out for me <333 hehehe YK who you areeeee :P

If you're wondering what kind of wire he is, he's based on an aux port "dust protector" charm. Famous for their ability to snap and get lodged inside your headphone jack!

Fucking absurdly stupid height difference between these two. How do they do literally anything?!

This is 100% his reaction to this information:

Design notes:

Each BFF has a signature color for their hair, Jazari’s is obviously purple. This serves two purposes as it also gives away how his disguise is magic due to his hair being composed of pure magic in this form, hence its unnatural outlines and sparkle.

Each BFF also has one piece of clothing that is their signature color. Jazari’s is a thong because it’s fucking funny.

Has no arms or legs in this form, his hands are actually his Star Hands. The pants hide his lack of legs.

Around 3 to 4 feet in this form, kind of ridiculous how he managed to get even shorter than his human self.

His BFF name is Beet!

so this will be early in the post-game lore where jazari gets forcibly sent back to concordia for "unfinished business", but that is irrelevant for the smaller scope of this fic. just know jazari is there without any of his friends, without anyway to get back home, and is stuck living with the extension corps.

and my god is living with the extension corps rough. not for any personality clashes or complaints about the semi-cramped lab. no, for how stir crazy these wires are getting doing the same boring ol' community service on slippenglide over and over, day by day.

jazari gets it, they need to be taught a lesson but this is not how to do it! they aren't truly engaging with concordia, learning why this world deserves to be protected and that they actually belong. these are all just menial tasks to keep them busy enough so they won't have time to come up with any plans (since they also have their job at club dyode too).

he voices his... let's say concerns that end up sounding more like complaints to connie and cozette, saying that he knows of a way to incorporate the corps' individuality into their rehabilitation rather than them doing stuff for the sake of it. connie is easily on-board with jaza's plan but cozette has her doubts. she doesn't want jazari to be going easy on them out of personal bias. he reassures her that his choices will put the extension corps to the test, just with a twist of playing into their strengths.

the first thing on jazari's agenda is to focus on one wire at a time, starting with a ten focused mission on floral. see, ten has a deeply untapped potential that everyone seems to overlook, and that potential will be revealed by taking him to the natural habitat of the snaptors. watch as ten gets domesticated in real time while taking care of them, much to the amazement of the wattanists and snap-keeper keeping an eye. the rest of the corps are here as well and everyone was encouraged to bring their pet snaptors along to intermingle. ten understands what he was damaging after this, since the destruction of concordia would have meant the death of all life, including the innocents.

the second thing is to have ecks volunteer at the lottacoins bakery to really tempt that poor thing and put him completely out of his element! jaza wasn't lying when he said he was testing them with ecks now forced to learn proper cleanliness, time management, etiquette with people, all the while unable to swipe any snacks for himself. but not to worry as the rest of the corps and jazari are here helping out too. and whadda you know, ecks natural speed and untapped adaptability makes him an excellent addition to this line of work actually. if only he would actually apply those skills at club dyode instead of making ten do all the work...

the third thing is shun getting involved at conservation on raynforst. due to the conditions of the land the wattanists are unable to supervise so instead arc and patriarc will be accompaning shun (and jaza). ten and shun are two sides of the same nature-enthused coin, what makes them different is shun is the green...thumb? to ten's animal caretaking. along the expedition the four discuss their past involvement with lord zokket, the lack of ecks and ten allowing shun to open up more than usual and take in patriarc's perspective spying on and finding a way to escape enslavement. the trip is less about shun's tasks, he can do this with his eyes closed, but rather the social aspect. being the most empathic of the corps has its perks!

after the three do their focused work it's time for the big challenge, the culmination of all the skills and humility the corps have learned! jazari hands each a yellowish-orange bandana before tying one of his own to his ponytail. the wires' stomachs instantly sink at the implication, dread interrupted by ireen's decloration that they are under the fellowship of idle for today and will follow her instructions with whatever community service is on the agenda. before being cut off by loog claiming he's the leader actually. soon the idle kids decend into an argumentative ball.

"it's like looking in a mirror, ey?," jazari chides as he ignores the glowing stares of the corps trying to bore into him.

but jaza does have a point, maybe trying to "mentor" these poor kids by showing some real teamwork would do them some good! so off the eight of them go. idle sure puts the corps to work with this being their most unorganized and "anything-goes" day of them all, really testing the skills learned over their individual focused work. patience, communication, and kindness help everyone get through.

as the day comes to its close, cozette and jazari have a sit and chat while they watch excorp and idle unwind.
