>>5645602Okay there are a hundred questions swirling around your head right now. First though, “Er… thanks? I think?” He did go out of his way to warn you when he probably didn’t need to. “Now what did you mean by that last part?”
“Oh it’s nothing too serious. Let’s see, just need to get a status report…” And another pause. “Good! Good good, good, gooooo-oh that’s unfortunate.”
Pinching the ridge of your nose, you ask, “Mugen. What happened?”
“Ah it’s fiiiiine, M1 just had a bit of a chaos erupt over the, er… sudden disappearance of Museio and a few other things. This should sort itself out in- OH! Oh no!” An almost human-like gasp comes through the line.
“What, what’s wrong?!”
“No, it got my favorite explorer hat!” he exclaims with genuine concern.
You nearly slip and fall off the building. “You’re… not serious, are you?”
“Very much so! It was a nice hat.” he replies in the most earnest voice you’ve heard from him yet.
Your eyes slowly blink. “Right. You’re still not concerned about what’s going down on M1 then?”
Mugen dismissively replies, “Not especially. Gives you a bit of time though, they’ll be squabbling among each other as they try to sort things out. I give it… a few months your time? Give or take.”
Okay. Okay that’s good. You think. You hope. “Wait, what of General Rildo? His body was the planet M2, so…”
“Oh he is quite dead.” the Machine Mutant tells you cheerfully, clearly happy to deliver that news. “Gone along with the planet. His successor was the one who actually started up the faction blaming you. Shame, hoped he wouldn’t have a stick shoved as far up his-”
“Successor?” Videl repeats. “What do you mean by that?”
“Simple, truly. The next Supreme General of the Machine Mutants. And already proving himself a vengeful bore, if you ask me.”
…An idea crosses your mind. “Mugen. Say I were to… oh, I don’t know, try to make it up to them in a less violent manner? They’re missing a planet, so maybe, well… I could try to get them a new one?”
“Oh I’ve seen some propose that avenue several times. But the attempts started have stalled thanks to some lack of direction, conflict with the Galactic Patrol, aggressive negotiations with the PTO…”
“Maybe I could get one quicker. One they could thrive on. I’m not expecting us to all get along if it happens, but, it could ease things a bit.”
Videl raises an eyebrow at you. “Peppa, what are you planning?”
With a grin and a wink, you say, “Maybe a wish could help sort things out.”
