[ask-the-substitute]

hey, substitute man, did you double check if there was anyone else still hanging around the studio? you could easily get caught by someone if you aren’t careful

[Wheeling the box onto the Ghost Files set, he starts looking around for a hopefully inconspicuous spot among the many little gadgets.]

You think I didn't check before I went back to the set I just got defenestrated from? It was all locked up, there's nobody here.

I mean, it's nearly 3 am. Not a creature is stirring, not even a-

Now, come on, can a studio rat not catch a couple Zs anymore?

UHHHHHHHHH

Ey, hang on- aren't you the madman ol Bergara was talking about while I was chewing through those ropes?

I'll say, mister, you should invest in better ropes next time- to a refined palette like mine, those were pretty nasty.

Wait- wait a second-

You did that??

YOU! I HAD RYAN BERGARA, THE LAMP, EVERYTHING, RIGHT IN THE PALM OF MY HAND, AND YOU DESTROYED IT ALL!

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU COST ME TONIGHT???

Ey now, watch your tone with me mister! I got a whole extended family of mine in the walls ready to tear ya a new one if you wanna try that!

Oh I'm SURE I could easily-

Wait. In the walls?

Yeah that's where we studio rats live in the tunnels in the walls- we used to use the ventilation system but that's how we lost my ol Aunt Yersinia when the heating started up in the winter, may-she-rest-in-peace.

Are they- spacious tunnels?

I mean yeah pretty spacious, they wouldn't fit anything like your big gadget right there but they accommodate me and mine just fine

Hm.....

[ask-the-substitute]

You know what? Disregard everything I just said, we're cool. We're great.

Eh, apology accepted. Life's too short for grudges, amirite?

Mmmmmm yeah yeah yeah sure sure-

and you know what, it would be great if you gave me a tour. Um. Of your convenient wall hiding places.

I dunnoooo, we don't usually let madmen into our abode-

Well, except Cousin Choriomeningitis. So.

Ehhh, what the hell, sure!

Great great, I will meet you there in uh, just a second. After I put this box that's completely supposed to be here on the set.

Fine by me mister! Just so you know though by entering you accept the risk of any rodent borne pathogens.

Oh don't worry, Linux doesn't get viruses.

...

And now I have a pretty good hideaway plan.

Thank god for rat infestations.

This blog will likely contain spoilers for Puppet History up to the end of Season 5, and operates on the lore and information up to that point.

The story for this blog will be fueled primarily by progression from asks. Because of the audience interaction, this blog will have the following ground rules:

I can and will ignore/delete any asks if I feel they've broken the following rules or if I don't feel they help tell the story I'm hoping to tell. Please don't feel too bad if your ask doesn't get used.

Certain actions will not be possible for asks- such as physical interaction with the environment or characters. Asks trying to perform actions like this will probably be ignored.

Your username may be recognized by characters if it appears often in asks, but generally you won't be considered an additional character.

Don't be weird (in a gross way)- ie sexual content and similar.

If an ask you send in isn't answered the first time for a really long time, feel free to resend it as it may not have come through properly. However, please don't send the same ask over and over and over after this if it still isn't used- if I'm not using it, I'm probably either saving it for later or I'm not planning on using it.

Feel free to message me if you have any questions, but just know I'll be answering DMs out of character.

have fun! :]
