shitposting rave 4: (almost) anything goes

[He makes a quiet distressed noise, not sure what to do.]

[Too late, Glow is distracted by panicking smol.]

 

I don't want your cousin I want to know what to do!

 

-reply chirp- [I fly with 'Large Swarm' -chirps that translate roughly to- 'It´s good to see you´re not alone!'-

 

=[) WELL, NOW ISN'T THAT JUST RIIIIIICH COMING FROM YOU, DUALSCAR?

"What does he make you do at the shows? We can't help you figure it out without information. Nobody will blame you, Mab. You are just a kid and you've been doing as you were told. But maybe your uncle really does love you, and maybe he needs some help himself. If someone else is controlling him, he may be making you do things that you shouldn't have to do." Jezebel sighs.

 

W-we take a little bit of everyone's life energy, then make them forget it happened! Great-Uncle Stanford needs it, but I don't know why!

 

*He momentarily stiffens at the first accusation, but quickly goes back to slouching once it's clear what Hlorri's talking about.*

vwho are you again.

 

Jezebel frowns. "It's probably because he's getting old. My dad does other things to avoid it, but...even if he isn't taking enough to hurt anyone, he shouldn't be making you take it!" She shakes her head. "No. That can't be it. People give off more than enough waste energy, he wouldn't need to do it that way. It has to be something else."

She frowns. "Something is feeding on him, and on you through him, and on everyone else through you."

 

I don't know what that means!

"It means that he is giving what you give to him to someone else, and also that someone else is stealing even more than that from you."

 

vwhat vweak spot.

 

Am I dying?!

 

"No, but if this doesn't stop, you could all die. I...I have to lay low in another dimension for a while, maybe I can come help you."

 

-Mabel's too upset to really process this.-
