>>5590590Jesse gets ejected from the bubble and crashes onto everyone! You all fall down like bowling pins onto the house’s mat! These two dummies spent a lot of time with Jesse, how the hell did they forget he even existed?! Anyway, you’re on the floor with Matilda on top of one of your arms, and Kata on the other… This would be kind of neat, if Oliver wasn’t across your waist like a shitty version of Bradford Jr.!
“Everyone’s okay?” You assess the damages. By the looks of it, nobody is hurt.
“I’m good.” Oliver raises his thumb.
“M-My glasses… I lost my glasses…!” Dorothy is blind! Serves her right! Even though, there’s a part of you that feels conflicted because you’ve suffered the same fate before.
“Here.” Matilda quickly found them. Dorothy puts them back, and nods in gratitude.
“I’m doing phenomenally…” Kata grabs your face…
“[STOP]. Give the [young man] some [space].” Galactic Calamity grabs his cousin away from you for everyone’s sake.
“T-The Festival was yesterday. We have to celebrate somehow…” Kata has a peculiar idea on how to spend the holiday. You all stand up from the ground.
(Knowledge Note): ‘The Festival of the Future Youth’ is a Prancijanian holiday where everyone legally ages (like birthdays!). It was once known as “the King’s Feast”, then as ‘Gordon Day’, and now it is colloquially known as the ‘Festival of Youth’ or just the ‘Festival’. Aside from the aging bit, it is also the anniversary of the most massive protest in the history of Pracijan that put the ‘Children of the Future’ program into an end.
[QM note: Birthdays are celebrated normally.]
“Nggh… I missed a big payday.” Matilda realizes she could’ve worked the holiday for extra money.
“Is it a good time to let you know how much I appreciated what you did for me?” Oliver smiles. He knows he doesn’t want to mess with the Judo girl’s payday…
“Do you have something I can comb my hair with?” Dorothy doesn’t like her hairstyle.
“You’re not going anywhere.” Matilda has her eyes on her. “Where’s Ms. Wilma anyway?”
“The shy gal is in the next room recovering. I believe the others told you all that I’m here assisting her recovery. Anyway, Happy Festival, everyone!” Kata tries to lift everyone’s spirits.
“Wait a moment…” Jesse snaps out of his trance at long last. “<span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-i">YOU.</span></span>” He realized that Kata is here…
“<span class="mu-i">R-Rosenberg…!?</span>” Kata hides behind Galactic and you. She didn’t realize Jesse was here either!
The heavy mood turns confusing once San Wich comes out of the bubble gate and closes it for good. It made a funny sound that distracted everyone.
“All done, friends!” San Wich announces that nobody can go inside the bubble for now!
“I need to comb my hair…” Dorothy couldn’t care less about what was happening.
You notice it is the middle of the night...
