Mark hisses, eyes becoming more magenta than violet. One of his hands raises, and she brings it down swiftly, to just below his shoulder. The arm that Mugen's clinging to falls away. Mark grabs the paper she was writing the apology on and crumples it, throwing it on the floor, and looks at the blank page under it.

"I'm going to!" Mark picks the pen back up, nearly snapping it with his grip. "Because I am sorry. I just... I need time. And I need to do it on my own."

Mark falls onto the floor of his home, which becomes springy and soft the moment she and Mugen fall into it. He sits up, portal already closed, to glare at the kid and shake him off frustratedly.

"I did not ask for this," she hisses. "I'm already supposed to have a scene where I write out a heartfelt apology to Kelsey, I don't need a B plot!"

[ Save 22 ] Mark stares at Mugen, shocked by the audacity of the child to try hypnotizing him.

"Get off of me right now."

Her features have shifted to look less humanish and more like a feral thing from deep in the ocean, teeth long and needle-like, pupils shrunken in rage. He is using all of her abilities for self control right now to not tear this impudent child into tiny shreds.

Mark stands abruptly, knocking the chair back and grabbing Mugen with roughly a dozen hands, lifting him up.

"There is no fixing this!" He shouts, shaking Mugen midair. "Don't you get it? Kelsey already felt hurt! They already don't consider me a friend and from their perspective it's been decades since the last time we were friends." Mark's eyes are bloodshot, strained, and starting to water. "There is no point to this. I am not trying to fix our friendship, because there is nothing left to fix."

She loosens his grip on Mugen slightly, intending to drop her. Quieter, he says, "There is no way that he will ever forgive me. Sending him an apology is like saying goodbye."

If only you could though, right?

Mark's eyes widen a bit as the realization dawns on him. Apparently Mugen can read narration, even in scenes that don't involve her. It's not entirely surprising, given that the child has some of Well in him, but it's something Mark didn't notice before and it's worrying in a way she can't put his finger on just yet.

"I'm not going to teach you bad words," Mark says, trying to shake Mugen off her arm. "You're not helping, either. Play with the house or something until you can go home."

"Yeah, yeah, want you to be happy, promise to do be-woah!" Mark's pen slips across the page as Mugen's movement yanks his chair back. She growls, turning around fully to glare at Mugen. "WOULD YOU-" he starts to yell, stopping himself from all-out swearing at the kid. Her eyes start to squint at Mugen. "Hey, what do you mean, they're nice to Scam?"

@mugen-actually

[dilf-dennis]

"Uh...hm." Mark has to admit that Mugen raises good points. She's weirdly aware of social mechanics for a child. "I haven't been able to read the 'extra words' for a while, but I remembered seeing something about Scam's original timeline... ugh, I can't remember and I can't check now. The narrators never say everything they mean. It's like they choose their words just to cause maximum anxiety." He groans and starts writing.

Kelsey, I am sorry for not telling you about Pretty, and I am sorry for giving you bad advice. You may be doomed by the narrative, but you're my best friend and we should make up.

[dilf-dennis]

Mark grumbles quietly, scratching his cheek with the end of the pen.

"I mean, he already knows what I knew. At this point, it's too late. And... I don't know. I seriously don't think they should be together. It sounds like a bad idea that will only end with both of them getting hurt." She frowns, holding his head with three of her hands. "And neither of them will listen to me anymore. The narration around them is just... well, it was suspicious. I can't see it anymore, but I don't trust it. How am I supposed to help them stay together when I know that it's probably impossible?"

"Something bad was happening to him," Mark sighs, leaning his head in her hand. "Instead of trying to help, I said some stupid things and pretended not to know what was happening." He looks at Mugen for a second. "I can't really do the opposite of what I did now. Like, what? Sorry about your girlfriend getting deleted from existence over and over again, here's a new one?"

Mark flinches a bit at the reminder that Mugen is a childhood friend of Kelsey's, and has to wonder if Psi is aware. He looks at Mugen for a second, fighting down the irrational anger, before walking to a desk that is formed with a stack of blank paper and a pen.

"Yeah, I did something bad," she says, sitting at the desk and picking up the pen. How to start an apology? Mark has never had to write out an apology before. Normally, he relies on body language to convey sincerity. That's how she's most persuasive, after all. "And Kelsey won't talk to me in person, so I have to write to him."

After Zhao flies away, Mark relaxes slightly and looks at Jodie.

"Are you alright?" He asks a bit reflexively. "You can leave too, if you want. I'll be able to clean this up." She looks up at the fire as it continues to ravage the trees. Thinking, he shifts into Bernard Lyght, features changing. "Hm, no it's not in here," Bernard mumbles, stroking his beard thoughtfully as he tries to remember which form has the spell he's thinking of.

Mark scowls at Zhao Dae.

"And what would you know about anything? Shut up and go home." He stares Zhao down, unwilling to leave before they do just in case a fight breaks out again. She looks to Jodie and shrugs slightly. "I only got here a minute ago, so I didn't hear much."

@vowofvvengeance

Zhao rushes to the top of the book castle rooftop. They’re wings spreading as soon as they have room to spread them, and like a plane taking off flying into the sky. Getting outside the radius of book castle so they can teleport away.

Mark is relieved when Jodie agrees to stop fighting and Zhao Dae lowers their weapon.

"Thank yo-" "I may n-" "-u, Jo-" "-ot li-" "-die. I'm -" "-ke you bu-" "- sorry ab-" "-t I don't wa-" "-out them. Ca-" "-nt you t-" "-n we ta-" "-o die, idiot." "-lk about this later?"

He pauses, realizing that she's doing that old bad habit of his. Embarrassed, Mark covers both of those mouths and turns to speak to Zhao Dae with only one.

"If I let you die, I don't think I'd hear the end of it from Scam."

A few of her eyes remain on Jodie, no longer watery and begging but simply watching in an idle manner. The gazes run over its wings and arms, taking xem in while they can.

Hello, My name is Martha and We’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s warranty! … Aw Father they hung up again! This game is silly, can we play the one where I tell them they won something again?

Mugen hangs up the rotary phone and rocks back and forth where she’s sitting.

(( @well-actually-youre-wrong ))

[dilf-dennis]

"Fine, I get it- ow!" Mark stumbles as his head is yanked back painfully. She was in the middle of opening a portal to leave, but Mugen's unintentional attack yanks him off balance and she stumbles through it... taking Mugen along for the ride with him.

[dilf-dennis]

Mark winces as Mugen starts to use him as a jungle gym, restraining herself from up and hurling the child off. The rapidfire slew of questioning almost seems to collide with the serious conversation he's trying to have with her brother, and without the ability to use the narration as a source of closed captions, Mark starts to struggle to process the words being spoken. He blanks at Scam for a moment, then scowls.

"I'm not jealous," she tries to interrupt. "If I was then I'd have- I'm sorry. I don't think I heard that right. A fight? A fight. When's the last time you were in a fight, Scam? Don't make me laugh."

Mark would have more to say, but Pretty starts recounting its game with Kelsey in more detail. Mark stares at his cousin, realizing there was more to what happened than she had known about previously.

His arms go limp and her shoulders droop, erasing any foothold Mugen had.

"...that really would fuck someone up," he mumbles, starting to wonder just how much Kelsey went through after he stopped confiding in Mark.

Mark gasps as Jodie pushes him away, flickers of fear entering her eyes as he watches Jodie stab Zhao Dae suddenly. Even without being able to see the narrators, she's sure that the attacks took out more than half of Zhao Dae's HP.

He's normally more careful with keeping her thoughts and words in order, but in a brief moment of panic something rare happens: he speaks from two mouths at once.

"Jodie, stop!" "Zhao Dae, don't!"

She positions himself halfway between the two, some eyes looking at Jodie while the rest are looking at Zhao. His speech from both mouths overlaps with each other, making it difficult to understand what either is saying.

"They aren't -" "He's stronger -" "- worth it!" "- than you. If y-" "Please don't hurt them." "-ou die you're no help to anyone."

The eyes looking at Jodie are pleading, while the ones looking at Zhao Dae contain a terror that is rarely held by the Likely.
