You would?

[Can he even hear the gasp coming from her?] Would you, really? Pinky promise and never ever hopefully die?

[zerotohiro]

[Oh god what has he done.]

Uh...sure! Why not? Are you actually going to do that?

[zerotohiro]

If I can't see, I won't be any good to the colony to fight back anyway. And Baymax will take care of me. [He grins anyway despite the fact he may be putting himself in danger without a helmet.] I trust you to take good care of it. It'll be fine.

[zerotohiro]

[He'll talk about his weird nightmares later, they weren't the same griffins...just the idea. But he seems to be considering what she says because there's a curious pause.]

Happy griffins? Like somebody removed the collars for them? [This is different...] You think that means it's true? [Can people have predicting dreams here, we just don't know.]

[zerotohiro]

[Into the apartment he goes with Baymax-case rolling behind him and he shakes his head in response.]

Things around here are always weird, but it's been even worse since Mosley was fired. I don't know if they're taking it out on us or what, but I don't like it.

[coexistent]

I don't know why either, maybe they are... but I definitely don't like it.

[why do people in power always insist on making things stupidly hard and shitty? the real questions here, honestly.]

[meowbel]

[The best mistake he ever made!]

Simple! I'm going to make big huge omega sweater with nothing but Store a La Mabel all over it! It'll be amazing!

[Be prepared, Hiro, be prepared!]

[immobileyes]

I... don't know. I don't think we'd know for sure unless we went back there.

[ And that wasn't her favorite place to be. Medusae and cold don't mix. ]

[immobileyes]

... Thanks, Hiro. I definitely won't drop it or dent it or anything!!

[ Be reassured, comrade?? ]

[zerotohiro]

[Let's just flop on the couch here.] So the real question is...what are we gonna do about it? The last time we sat around and didn't fix it ourselves the whole colony went crazy. Any ideas?

[zerotohiro]

I'm not gonna ask what an omega sweater is--[Does he really want to know???]--but you're really calling the store Store a La Mabel?

[zerotohiro]

...I was thinking about going back into the jungle with a friend. The mountains wouldn't be too far I don't think, but I don't really remember how we got there either. If they're free...did it seem like they would leave the mountains at all?

[zerotohiro]

I know you won't, but don't worry. I've fallen plenty of times in it, it's pretty durable. [Not sure if that's a jab at Mary's clumsiness or an attempt at being reassuring...] And now that we've got that solved...you gonna hang out for a while? [Please?]

[immobileyes]

I... don't think so. The mountain's the home, so... when I remember, they were just flying around it.

[immobileyes]

...

Yeah. I think as long as I won't freeze you... it's probably fine. [ And she's just plain tired. ]

[zerotohiro]

...maybe we should go talk to Caeli. It's weird that you'd dream of something like that now when we haven't heard from those guys in a long time.

[zerotohiro]

Definitely...it's probably safer anyway. [So yeah. They can just be two small tired kids hanging out and being babysat by a walking marshmallow. Everything's fine this way.] I think CereFlix added a whole bunch of new movies anyway.

[...not that he can see, but the sound's nice. It's something.]

[coexistent]

I dunno... I'm just not even sure what we can do. Things have changed so much, do you think... we could even find out what's up with CERES at this point?

[immobileyes]

... I guess so. But he's sort of hard to talk to.

[ It's literally like talking to a cloud. ]

[immobileyes]

Okay... this is what I did with Roxas, so I think that's a good idea!

[ time for terrible knock-off films. ]

[meowbel]

Of course! It's nice, catchy and a great way for everyone to know exactly who owns the store!

[Mabel...!] But trust me, when I say an omega sweater? It's definitely going to be huge! Really, really huge!

[zerotohiro]

...possibly. [There's a short pause.] I haven't really told anybody this, but Mosley and I kind of have this weird friendship, I guess? I...might have encouraged him to hand Bellona over to the Flamines and take over CERES himself.

[zerotohiro]

He's easier than Maris. [Because screw that guy tbh.] It's worth a shot though, what else do we have to lose at this point?

[zerotohiro]

[A pondering pause...]

Like...you think Baymax huge? [Look at this shit, already trying to think of a loophole.]

[immobileyes]

... Yeah. But you'll come with me, though?
