double your live, double your fun

Who: Everyone
Where: Just outside the hotel
When: Day 30, early morning

[There're a table and some chairs set up outside of the front entrance. Hurricane and Nemesis are seated there like those kids looking for passers-by to sign their petitions or sponsor animals. A modest sign in front says "Free Cheer"]

Buttpats! Get'cher buttpats here!

Pep talks, dude, don't give people the wrong idea.

It's not for us to say what motivates people. I mean, in this case it kind of literally is, but whatever.

Anyway, stop on by and gimme a couple of words. Whatever you pick, I’ll do the whole motivational speech thing about it.

And I swear to help out, or if there's something else you need, I guess. Either way, points.

[The app indicates this is a double live.]

Alright. Let's hear it. Your best speech. Don't hold back. I want 110%!

Okay, CEO Jr. What d'you need buffed by the power of friendship or whatever?

Something inspiring. So I can write it down and use it later. I can't make that shit up on my own.

Too worried about the darkness's siren call? Gimme a key word to spin off of, I don't come natural to this stuff.

If only!

[Oh, um, a key word.]

Pity. What, no! Concern.

Who needs it? In the end, the only person out there looking out for you is you, right? So why waste the lip service? You're strong enough to take care of yourself, you got this.

Ha! I'd almost agree except I have a little brother to worry about. Or is he the older one?

Does it matter? Is he looking out for you or are you looking out for him?

[Said in all honesty and a bit of bitterness.]

He actually does a better job of looking out. Not for a lack of trying.

...Please don't make me say the feel-good shmoopy lines. Hurricane is right there; he's actually good at that sort of thing. Look, you're not a shitty brother. I don't know exactly what you're worrying about but consider not doing it because you're fine, okay?

[It takes him a moment to process what she's saying before he outright laughs.]

HAHAHA. I don't need a pick me up. I'm just mad he was more useful than I was in the haunted house.

Wait, what? ...Also, when I saw him, all he did was take a nap.

Gold and I got into a fight. He was trying to drown me in the fountain because the voices in his head told him so. I'd have kicked the bucket right there if it weren't for his help.

Took a nap, did he? Good for him. He was there entirely too long.

[Motioning for her to come a bit closer as he whispers.]

Hurricane is not okay. I'm actually concerned about him.

...You're brothers and buddies, aren't you supposed to want to help each other out?

[a bit hollow, which becomes even more so once she hears his whisper]

Yyyeah, I am well aware. I get it, just...

[helpless shrug. no pep talk's gonna fix that.]

Okay, dude. You've got it.

Just gimme a topic and I'm good to go.

You both are bad at this. Why do I have to pick a topic? Just pick one for me.

Okay, Nine-nine's worry of the day: summer's too hot.

[He cackles.]

Sure. Let's go with that. Besides dunking myself in the river, how do I cope, o' wise one?

When the sun's like the temperature of lava, brilliant minds find a way. You've got the innovation to make a pool of your very own, my dude. Never fear: sheet plastic, duct tape, and tap water - that's where it's at. You'll find a way to beat the heat for sure.

Tap water.

Tap water.

FUCK. We never fixed our damn sink.

Your - what?

In the dining area. CEO made it into a monstrosity and we smashed it. We never got it replaced.

[That... rings a vague bell. Please hold while he chases that memory down. Finally, after a couple beats too long:]

Oh my god. That thing!

[He doesn't understand the mirror horror. He only got some information from Shuten. But he doesn't feel like he wants to push this particular topic right now.]

I know, right. The asshole. Neat ability though but of course he had to try it out in the most pain in the ass way possible.

Is he asking for a pep talk? Give him hell if he does.

Sorry, dude, too late. I already played it straight.
