Hee hee hee...
Hello again!
Look, original lady that Jasmine came from!
I don't know
if I ever got your name, but
I got a real account this time!!
Poe just reminded me it exists!
He's been
holding out on me!

It's me! Wist!
Yeah!!

Nice to meet you all again,
but
it would be even nicer
if someone could come let me out of my designated living box??
I'm starting to get hungry...
And besides that,
it's really hard to watch over kids
when I'm stuck in here!

[It's a good thing they're really bad at keeping track of time...]

Oh!
I'll go by the window and scream!!

[...and then this idiot fae will press their face against the window of 206 and howl miserably. Help them...]

[suddenlybees]

[ Wist and Kano are kindred spirits in some sense. But also, haha, yikes. ]

Hi!
I see you!!
Good, good, keep that up so I'll know which room!
I'll be right up!!

[ Just keep screaming while he takes his sweet time climbing the stairs ig but eventually he'll be at 206!! knocking on the door ]

[panpiping]

[By the time Kano arrives, the howls have lessened into scratchy sobs punctuated by keening, which cut off promptly at the knock.]

Rude boy?! Is that you? Even if it's not, I'd really like to be let out, please!

[suddenlybees]

[ That is honestly more concerning than straight up screaming. ]

Yep, it's me, the rude boy!! Can you let me in so I can let you out?

[ He also does not open the door. How does this work? ]

[panpiping]

[There's a pause, whether it's for Wist to be appalled by the question or for them to consider it genuinely.]

I would if I could? But I can't?

[suddenlybees]

Hmm... Alright, not a problem!!

[ He's just going to assume the lock is jammed or something reasonable like that, so that instead of trying the knob just in case, Kano gets to work on physically removing the hinges and the entire door itself. It's slow work; he wishes he were taller. ]

How're you guys doing holed up in there? Still got both hands??

[panpiping]

[no............the lock is fine, and it's not even locked...but he said he'd remove the door anyway, so it's fine.]

I do! Two hands, two feet, for now. And Poe has the same amount, even if he's ignoring you!

[suddenlybees]

[ Yeah, he's just saving himself the trouble of removing the knob and then the door, when he can just take the whole thing and figure out how to get it out of the building later. It might possibly end up being tossed out the window. ]

Oh, good! But, aww, why's he ignoring me?? Have I been rude to him???? Tell him I said "Hi!" Hey! Poe!! Hi!!!

[panpiping]

[Wist would think that's an excellent plan.]

No, he likes you fine, I think... I don't really know why? You're kind of super mean to us sometimes!

[in case Kano didn't know!!!]

He's just still in the zone, in his net! He's ignoring me, too. Even after I screamed... I screamed pretty good, right? Right??

[suddenlybees]

[ Kano literally didn't exist for most of the time Wist and Poe were here so ??? how was he super mean sometimes, he didn't know!!! Maybe it's just the nature of his existence, yeah, that would make sense. ]

Mm, yep, you screamed pretty good!! But maybe not loud enough!! I almost have the door off-- I'll come in and scream at Poe with you until he says hi!

[panpiping]

[You lied to them about motorbikes...and also the only deal he took to let Shuuya out made a lot of people really mad at Wist...]

Haha! Then he'll be eating your hand! We'll scream for a different reason entirely!

[suddenlybees]

[ Oh... Yeah. But those were funny things, to Kano. ]

Ehh, my hand's not that tasty?! Poe doesn't know where it's been!!

[panpiping]

[humans have such strange humor...]

Mmm~ I don't think he'll care, once he's paying attention enough to remember how hungry he is~ And it would mostly be to get you to stop bothering him, anyway. Trust me! I know how his mind works, most of the time! We're best friends!

[suddenlybees]

Hmm, but if he eats my hand, it'll hurt and I'll be screaming a lot more, wouldn't I? And I'll get blood everywhere, and that's even more trouble for him to deal with! The easiest way to get somebody to stop bothering you is to give in and say hi, isn't it???

[ Just give into him... This is why people let him get away with things, probably, it's just easier in the long run. ]

[panpiping]

Haha, yeah probably! I would think so! But one time he ignored me for a whole week so he could do an event thing. It would have been the full ten days, but I forgot to bring him a meal! He was really mad about that...

[There's a soft, wistful sigh from inside.]

Good times...

[suddenlybees]

Haha, was it...?

[ Doesn't sound like good times, but... oh well. The door comes off and Kano carefully slides it over to prop up against the frame. ]

Heh~ You got a big room, too!! Hi! [ to Wist ] Where's Poe? I want to say hi to Poe! [ He lets himself into the room, hi. ]

[panpiping]

[!!!!!! never before have they been so happy to see Kano. Shuuya, certainly. Not Kano. They bounce over to his side once he's in.]

The desk! He's deep in the net!

[And sure enough, over at the desk beneath the loft...is a second Wist! This one has his hair up in a monstrously huge bun and is hunched in front of a computer so he can expertly click keys in a way the real Wist could only do in jest.]

Don't say I didn't warn you, because I definitely did!

[suddenlybees]

[ !!!!! Is Kano's reaction to the second Wist, not the third, with a part of him wondering how long it'd take before he could get Wist's features right enough to be a convincing copy too. Imagine, three Wists... ]

Alright, alright, we'll see if your warning was enough!!

[ First, stick his hands into his pockets so he doesn't get them chomped off. Then, he sidles over to the desk and leans over Poe's shoulder. ]

Hi, Poe!! Whatcha doing?

[panpiping]

[Wist decides to not follow Kano over. They're keeping all their limbs, yes sirree...

Poe doesn't tear his eyes away from the screen, grunt, or miss a beat in his typing. Have to do more than that to get his attention, apparently.]

[suddenlybees]

[ Huh... Hm...

Kano digs into his pockets and finds half a jar of peanut butter and a popsicle stick, wipes the popsicle stick off the side of his pants before scooping up some peanut butter and attempting to stove that into Poe's mouth. ]

[panpiping]

[His nose gives a rabbit-like twitch before he opens his mouth and --

CRUNCH!!

The popsicle stick is bit clean through, chewed up, and swallowed along with the peanut butter. He clicks the mouse a few times.]

Ah! No fair, no fair!! I want some, too!

[Yeah, they've come over now. FEED...PEANUT BUTTER...]

[suddenlybees]

[ JFC

Kano dips the rest of the splintered popsicle stick into the jar and holds the glob of peanut butter out for Wist. ]

If you bite off my hand I'm going to start screaming, okay???!?!

[panpiping]

Yeah! Okay!

[They will bend down to meet this offering and proceed to...also bite through the popsicle stick... They chew more amiably, at least.]

Oh, a hint of red flavor...

[suddenlybees]

[ Kano quickly glances down at his hand to make sure that red flavor is some sort of artificial berry, not blood. ]

It's good, right? Protein and fiber and everything, all good stuff!! I have tea bags too! But that sorta stuff is best when we can all sit down together instead of in front of the computer, right, Poe?

[panpiping]

[Good news, it was not blood.]

Yeah! Yeah, yeah!!

[Wist is excited, and Poe finally gives some sort of verbal response! He growls the kind of growl a massive wildcat might make if its voice was mixed with a lawnmower and backed by a distant monkey screech.]

You're no fun in the net! It's been like an hour!

[It's been almost two hours, actually, and he's almost done, which is why he's so aggressively leaning closer to the screen and jabbing at the keys.]

Play with meeee~ [Wist jostles the chair as they whine, finally getting Poe to snap bloodshot eyes over and launch himself off the chair to gnaw at Wist's arm. That sure is a lot of blood. With their free hand, Wist gives Kano a shaky thumbs up.] Woah! Ow! Hey, cut it out! Poe! There's food! We're being fed!
