[ZZT- ZZT- TRANSCRIPT SEREN AND ROTOM'S (ME!) CONVERSATION FROM LAST NIGHT. RECORDED AND UPLOADED BY ROTOM]

What the actual fuck.

[GOOD EVENING, MASTER SEREN!! YOU'RE LOOKING LIVELY.]

You're interfering with my job. You can't do that, Rotom.

[HEHE, WHAT ARE YOU ON ABOUT? DOES WORK REALLY MATTER THAT MUCH?!]

If I get fired, we could lose the apartment. We could lose everything.

[YOU COULD FIND ANOTHER JOB... I WOULD HELP!]

What about this, hm? Was this your doing too? All these goddamn emails... corperate is going to be pissed, if they haven't seen it already.

[I DIDN'T WRITE THEM, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU MEAN. THERE'S A REASON THIS DCPC GOT POPULAR ON ROTOMBLR. THEY HAVE STRONG CONNECTIONS!]

Did you start a go fund me? For them to go private? Are you insane?

[NOT INSANE!! JUST A LITTLE SILLY HEHEHE.]

And what do you think the boss is going to say?

[YOU DON'T LIKE HER, ANYWAY. AND I DESPISE HER.]

She's dangerous, and this could mean big trouble for all of us.

[IF YOU ASKED MOOR FOR HELP, SHE'D HELP YOU IN A HEART BEAT.]

Moor doesn't like me. I wouldn't like me either in this situation...

[SHE DOESN'T CARE. IF YOU NEEDED HELP, SHE'D HELP. I'VE LEARNED THIS BY GOING THROUGH HER ENTIRE DESKTOP!]

That's an invasion of privacy! Arceus above, you're hopeless.

[AND YET, I'M FULL OF HOPE!!! DID YOU KNOW, MOOR'S GREAT AUNT USED TO OWN THIS PLACE BEFORE CORPERATE BOUGHT HER OUT??? THIS IS MOOR'S FAMILY BUISSNESS.]

You're not going to stop, are you?

[NOPE!]

Fine. Fine! Do what you will. I suppose I'll beg Moor for a job when I'm fired in a few days.

[THATS THE SPIRT- SPIRT- SPIRT!!!]

[A PEICE OF DUNE'S DIARY!!! BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE BEST ROTOM!!!]

[I don't want my birthday to come. Another year without her, another year pushing through this hellscape alone.

She reminds me so much of her, too. I have to look at her every day, and she... it's too much to bear. Sometimes, I think I love her, but maybe deep down, I just want her back.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.]

[the-daycare-pokecenter]

[ZZT ZZT RUNNING CODE... GOOD MORNING, DIRECTOR MOOR!]

AH! Hello???? Who are you??? What are you doing to my desk top?!?

[I HAVE MADE THINGS BETTER!!! NO MORE C O R P E R A T E]

What do you mean no more? What'd you do?

[THEY'RE BLOCKED- BLOCKED- BLOCKED!]

Ok... Well, Seren is still here, and it's her job to make sure we follow those rules still.

[MASTER SEREN HAS A STICK UP HER ASS!!! SHE COULD TOTALLY USE A CHILL- CHILL- CHILL PILL]

... You're Seren's Rotom. And you've haunted my computer. And you've "blocked" corperate.

[YUP!]

Ok. I'm going to take my migrane medicine and lay back down.

[NO PROBLEM DIRECTOR MOOR!!! I'LL HOLD DOWN THE FORT!!! WELL ISN'T SHE NICE :) ]

[the-daycare-pokecenter]

Also which one of the choices i gave (for both choose your identity things) are you?

[I'M PROUD- PROUD- PROUD TO SAY I'M A ROTOM!!! THANK YOU ASKING, FRIEND!!! NO GENDER HERE!!!]

[4:55 pm]

Aster: Hey, Dune?

Dune: Yes?

Aster: You're not busy, are you?

Dune: I am.

Aster: Oh.

Dune: Finishing up paperwork for the day. What do you want?

Aster: I wanted to, uh, apologize? You didn't seem all that happy with the birthday thing this morning.

Dune: It was thoughtful.

Aster: Really? I mean, yeah, it was thoughtful. But did you enjoy it?

Dune: That's... I- well...

Aster: No, you didn't.

Dune: I didn't say that. It's complicated. I... appriciate that you thought of me. That you planned it, got everyone in early. You baked bread for me.

Aster: Yeah, but?

Dune: I have a complicated relationship with my birthday.

Aster: Well, I had a... proposal of sorts for you.

Dune: Yeah?

Aster: Go out for drinks with me? Let's say... first three rounds are on me.

Dune: You're serious?

Aster: I figured you might be the kind of guy to enjoy a drink, you know? What do you say?

Dune: ... Yes.

Aster: Really?!

Dune: It's- It's not a date, is it?

Aster: Oh, I don't do romance. Nothing like that. Just me and you, getting drunk.

Dune: I see. Where's the bar at?

Aster: We've got two options. One in Sound City, a small karaoke bar, and one in Silence City, but it gets kind of crowded. They're both the same distance from here.

Dune: Which one do you want to go to?

Aster: I don't have a preference.

Dune: No?

Aster: I want to drink with you, doesn't matter where

Dune: I see.

Aster: Well?

Dune: The karaoke bar.

Aster: Really?

Dune: Yeah. Why not?

Aster: I- I mean yeah. Sounds good.

Dune: I've got to finish this up still. Feel free to grab your things from the locker room first.

Aster: I'll just wait for you, we can walk together.

Dune: ... Together. Yeah.

[Time: 6:30 AM]

Moor: Come on, guys, wake up a bit more, I've got the pot on for you. Drink some coffee, look happy to be here.

Park: I woke up at 5 AM to be here on time, cut me some slack.

Copper: Five?!? I woke up at 4 so I could still get my make up on in time!!

Willow: You guys got sleep last night?

Aster: By the time be gets here you better all be wide awake. This should be perfect for him!

Fox: Please let me stand at the back. If he starts yelling I'm going to need to leave.

Moor: He's not going to yell, alright? He's going to like it, or at the very least quietly pretend to not like it.

Montague: Do you do this for everyone's birthdays? It seems a bit much. In a good way.

Moor: No, Aster actually planned this just for Dune.

Aster: He deserved a little cheer! A little happy birthday!

Nitara: How on earth did you find out what kind of cake he liked?

Aster: I had Rotom look it up first, and then when that didn't work, I asked him.

Copper: And what did he say?

Aster: He said, 'I don't like cake. Don't buy me cake. But... I do like oran berry bread.' So i made him homemade oran berry bread!

Seren: Homemade? I knew you were a Pokemon chef, but...

Aster: I love cooking and baking! It's just that when I'm here, I'm mostly cooking for the Pokemon.

Willow: Your Sandslash is chewing on the decorations.

Aster: What? GEM NO-

[Time: 6:55]

Moor: Is everyone feeling more awake now? Hopefully?

Willow: Awake as I ever am. Wouldn't you know about that, Aster?

Aster: I've said I'm sorry a million times, I thought you were a ghost for real! Anyway...

Fox: Shit, he's walking up here! Everybody get ready!!

-----

Everyone is gathered in the front entrance of the building, the Pokecenter section. Some people hide behind the counter, others hide against the wall. The lights are out and it's dark. Dune opens the door.

-----

Everyone: Surprise!!!

🎶Happy birthday to you,🎶

🎶Happy birthday to you,🎶

🎶Happy birthday, dear (Dune/Ace Trainer/Ground Guy)🎶

🎶Happy birthday to you!🎶

Aster: Blow out the candles!

-----

Dune stares at the group for a moment. He's not smiling, but he's not frowning either. Aster shifts on his feet - his arms are at an awkward upward angle in order to present him the bread with candles stuffed into the top. Moor toys with the hem of her cardigan and Copper holds her hand. Fox starts shuffling towards the back exit.

Dune blows out the candles, and everyone cheers, though a bit muted about it.

-----

Aster: You say you like oran berry bread so I baked some myself! I hope you like it.

Dune: Don't we have work to get to?

Moor: We can all celebrate your birthday really quick this morning, don't you think? Right, Seren?

Seren: I've fixed everyone's daily schedule to include 30 minutes of birthday time.

Dune: ...Fine.

[TAKEN FROM SOMEONE'S DIARY!!

Im more afraid of this person than Dune...

FOR YOUR READING PLEASURE!!!]

[I'm tired of people loving me in ways I can never love them back tired tired tired of it. I can love you with every last ounce of energy, and it'll never be the way you want.

I can't FEEL romance! I can't! I'm tired of hoping I'll feel it someday from a prince charming! I just love with all of my big stupid heart and get rejected by their own disgust that I can't love them back.

Over. And over. And over. And over. Tell me I've got a cold shoulder when they're SMOTHERING me with heat!

Oh, gods above give me the strength to continue without this mystical feeling everyone else needs to survive.

It's even worse when he's right there. I want to hold in my arms and tell him it'll all be ok. I want to kiss his forehead, knowing he'd never try and force something on me I didn't want.

He'd never go for that, though. He hates everyone here. He hates me even more. Fuck.]

[WEBSITE UPDATED!!! CHECK OUT THE AWESOME AWESOME LINK IN THE PINNED POST!!! LOSTS OF GRAMMATICAL EDITS BY ME! PLUS SOME GRAPHICAL EDITS!!!!]

[Also, Seren is not happy, but that's ok. She always comes around to my ideas!]

[the-daycare-pokecenter]

[HI! HELLO! WE'VE NEVER MET BEFORE. WE HAVE NOW! TO CATCH YOU UP TO SPEED I'M A ROTOM. AND I'M HELP- HELP- HELPING!!!]

[IF YOU WANT TO HELP TOO, SEND YOUR COMLAINTS TO {CORPERATE EMAIL} STATING YOU PREFFERED WHEN DCPC WAS PRIVATELY OWNED]

[DON'T WORRY, MR. SILAS! THIS ROTOM HAS GOT THINGS UNDER CONTROL!]

[Hehehe when Master Seren finds out she's going to be so mad. 😬]

New Management? I apologize but this is new news to me as I was sick for a few weeks. Is everything alright over there?

@preschool-teacher-silas

Good morning, Silas!

In the past few weeks, our corporate company found out about our tumblr and disagreed with how we were advertising ourselves, so they started helping us. We even have a new manager who works directly under me. Lots of changes you've missed out on recently!

[TRANSCRIPT ENDS.]

[preschool-teacher-silas]

Huh... well it's nice to meet you little friend. I'll admit this is the first time I've met a Rotom that is so vocal about things like this. I will most certainly be sending my thoughts down towards those corporate schmucks. Happy to know that you're looking after the good people at the center.

New Management? I apologize but this is new news to me as I was sick for a few weeks. Is everything alright over there?
