💭 *AND 💬 FOR ALL OF THEM*

[[Well…A lot of Internet-based pictures of dogs remind me of you. So do lennyfaces, for related reasons.]]

The Repairman

Beepsumu: “Older computers kinda make me think of her, as do some factory inner workings. Don’t tell her I said that.”

Bonkakira: “Any mention of the apocalypse, and just things that make her ‘look’, like the sunglasses and the red tie.”

Bowyetta: “Slimes, dogs, and archery. Yeah, pretty obvious, but…”

Barrette: “Kids practicing archery. Yes, it’s that specific.”

PQ: “Well, whenever I go to Beach City, it’s hard not to be reminded of her…”

Medical: “…*sigh*…This sounds mean, but whenever Cat Slime gets prissy and egotistical, Medical’s kinda my prime suspect.”

Marie

Beepsumu: “Whirring motors and gears. Well, ones that work perfectly…”

Bonkakira: “…Whenever we have to go through an office party or nightclub or something, I wonder what she would think of it.”

Bowyetta: “White mittens and any friendly fanged creature.”

Barrette: “Bowyetta, and any kid learning words for the first time.”

PQ: “Outer space. At least, when Repairman’s not nauseous…”

Medical: “Whenever Cat Slime makes a cute face (which is all the time)!”

rcadrunner:

      He is waiting… Waiting for the opportune moment…
      It’s almost time… Almost…
      And… now–

      “Beep beep!”

“Augh!”

Marie leaped at the Repairman, knocking them both off of the road and sending the vacuum cleaner flying the other way.

They both tumbled and landed several yards away.

“What the heck, Marie?” the Repairman asked, taking off his headphones.

“There was a car incoming,” Marie explained, brushing the sand off of her bow. “I didn’t want either of us to get hit…”

The Repairman turned to look at the road, but all he saw was a large bird.

Wait.

Large bird, car incoming, desert road…?

The Repairman shot up, brushing himself off. He hoped he wasn’t interrupting a Toon celebrity.

“Sorry, didn’t know you were there,” he said, hastily. “Were we in your way?”

Marie turned to look as well, and gasped.

“Omigosh, is that the Roadrunner?” she asked, moving forward to take a closer look.

Beep, meanwhile, bent down and patiently scooped up Medical. “Now
just calm down, you two,” she said. “She’s not hurt, are you?” Medical
shook her head and gave a squeaky “no”, and Beep nodded. “See, the fall
just startled her, that’s all.” She handled Medical back to Marie.
“These little guys are kinda slippery, you just have to make sure they
don’t get away from you.”

“…Then don’t compete,” was Susumu’s simple answer. “Cooperate.
Show them that you can still do your job just as well as before. Teach
Marie what your job really means, and how important it is. Just please, please play along, okay? If you don’t do anything, then you’ll never get anywhere.”

Immediately when she was told to calm down, Marie’s bawling became mere sniffs.

“…Oh!” she exclaimed, happily taking Medical back. “…All right, I’ll be more careful. Sorry ‘bout that, Meddy!”

She adjusted her grip on both slimes, making sure both were okay.

“…Now, you were competing for my affection, you two adorable things?”

Cat Slime took a moment to react to this; he didn’t expect her to know. Finally, he sighed, and let one ear droop down. He pouted in just the right way to make himself picturesque.

“…”

The Repairman simply continued to lie face-down for a moment or two. Just long enough for one to wonder if he had even heard her.

Finally, however, he got up, arms crossed.

“…Never had to work with a replacement before…” he muttered, shifting into what can only be described as a standing position. Already, he was trying to think of ways to keep her out of his actual job. “Keeping watch” seemed a reasonable enough excuse…

“…All right, I think I know what to do,” he finally said.

“Um, excuse me, are you lost?” It was only after he asked that he realized a large blob of ink and a slightly smaller blob of paint might be a little jarring, but since the two of them were in the neighborhood…

“Me and Molly had a map, but the wind took it.” Rose explains to the other

She had just been wandering around with Molly, the plushie rabbit currently safely tucked away in her hoodie,  when a gust of wind took her map out of her hands. It wasn’t a map for the area but she was still trying to follow it before losing it to the wind. Rose was a bit confused and curious about the other and why he was a blob of ink with a smaller blob, but this honestly wasn’t the strangest thing the kid has seen. 

The Repairman looked up at the little girl, thinking about what he could do. Not like he knew the area much better, after all…

Marie, meanwhile, toyed a little with her now maroon bow, also thinking about this. This little girl definitely needed help, but how…?

The two asked questions simultaneously.

“Where are you trying to get to? Have you been here before?” asked the Repairman.

“Well, where’d you lose the map? And who’s Molly, anyway?” asked Marie, tilting her head with that last question.

They seemed comedically unaware that they were speaking over each other, and simply waited for answers. If some gaps were filled, perhaps they could actually help out…
