you are so gorgeous and cute!

"Oh!! T-Thank you!.. I'm always so caught off by these compliments!"

[newnormalprotag]

Have you been taking care of your garden alright?

"Yes! Things have been normal up here! I just watered some of the flowers a few hours ago!"

[newnormalprotag]

Oh mah god ur alive

"Ah.. Yes?... I don't recall being injured at all let alone dying actually..."

>[No... That's not what they meant...]

[newnormalprotag]

The fog is coming.

"The fog????"

[newnormalprotag]

That’s quite understandable, perhaps a little snack would do you some good? Like almonds, grapes, or cheese

-🌇

"Ah!! Sorry about the late reply!! Y-Yes, that sounds refreshing, actually!"

[newnormalprotag]

How’s our darling boss doing today?

-🌇

"... hungry actually... But I don't have an appetite.."

[newnormalprotag]

>[Someone steps through the elevator, carrying a stack of paperwork over to the CEO's desk. Trying with that practiced smile not to come across as faulty out of fear of being.. terminated.]

>[They are with certainty one of Normal Guy's employees, the same grey skin, a face without unnecessary features, the slight stainage of blood on their suit they just can't quite wash off.]

>[But, as they set the papers down, they can't help but take pause...]

>[Where did these flowers come from? Gone is the anxiety-inducing hell that was the open sky, every step feeling like they would begin to instantly plummet.]

"Wh-what...?"

>[Had there been a change in management? Had the old boss stepped down? They had no idea.]

>[Up around until they heard the rustle of grass as they are approached..]

>[Approached by the CEO who wears their old face.]

>[ @hired-protagonist]

>[He couldn't believe his eyes, almost mistaking you with his predecessor until approaching closer. The realization that it's worse, it leaves a huge pit in his stomach. He knows exactly who you are, which is why he's left speechless, in shock.]

[newnormalprotag]

your little friends look delicious

"Ehh... I don't think they taste like anything... Where did this wave of deja vu come from?..."

[newnormalprotag]

Gives you headpats

"Thank you!"

[newnormalprotag]

Oh shoot that’s the most butterflies we’ve ever seen on you hold on I gotta capture this 📸

"Snap away! I don't mind!"

[newnormalprotag]

bestie that was not very swag of that anon

here have some lemonade

[a lemonade is placed on your desk, it looks like an ombre of colors in a rainbow formation]

[there is also a smaller one in a little saucer, presumably for the butterflies]

>[Butterflies heavily swarm on not just him but for the small cup of sweet sour heaven so generously gifted to them while Protag chuckles, tasting his own cup]

"It seems the butterflies love it already! I understand as it's really really good! I love the colors! Thank you so very much, Kirby!"

[newnormalprotag]

People eat butterflies actually, pretty sure one of the antags around here has eaten some before

"..I'm sure they're tasty??? I apologize, I don't actually know how to react-"

[newnormalprotag]

HAVE SOME ACTUAL FOOD-

"Now this looks absolutely appetizing!!"

[newnormalprotag]

haha yuor so cute and zo silly

snuggles up on your feet

>[Now he can't tell if he should feel appreciated, uncomfortable or cautious...]

[newnormalprotag]

Yeah don’t eat that probably-??

"Trust me. I won't. In fact, I'll just call the janitor and just tell him it's a dead plate."

(sorry for the gap)

[newnormalprotag]

What, you won't have a bite..? I can assure you, it tastes like pork, because that is what it is..

Don't act so suspicious just because of one's demeanor.. You can be suspicious, but don't look it. It's not very befitting of a CEO.. and it's how you get screwed over.

"Don't you DARE compare this to being a CEO. I may be naive but I'm NOT a fool. Regardless of if it's pork or not, if I don't want to touch it, that's that. Nothing to do with power at all. And if it is exactly what I assume, you're absolutely sick in the head to even offer this to me and then have the audacity to scold my suspiciousness. I'm not eating this, end of discussion.

>[That might've struck a nerve-]

[newnormalprotag]

I worked so hard though.. and it's be a waste.

"I don't CARE how hard you worked on this-.. THING. I'M NOT EATING IT!!"

>[He raises his voice, backing away from the plate]
