[too late. the dog wakes up on its own. it lifts its head and growls quietly and judgmentally at white.

but then goes POOF(?) and vanishes in a little cloud of greenish-blue smoke. sloth startles and sits straight up.]

WAhh--oh, um. White!

[enfangs]

[white tenses when it starts growling at him, but he relaxes once it's gone.]

Yo.

[probe]

[dreamwidth specifically doesn't want me to have white notifs I guess.]

Hello! [hm] Are you okay?

[enfangs]

[me as dw]

Yup, just fine. Why do you ask?

[probe]

You seem a little nervous is all! [why do they laugh earnestly about this as they roll up into the air to float.] Especially about the rule!

Did you come to collect your reward? I got his autograph! It was... Well, I... I just don't know what to say except thanks, White! You're really darn nice to me helping me out!

[enfangs]

That's 'cause the rule sucks!

[what if he doesn't want to? confess to feelings?

he shoves his hands into his pockets.]

No biggie. Glad you got what you wanted.

[probe]

[hehehe white is so funny.

sloth throws open their arms suddenly and leaps through the air at him with such shockingly quick pace. they are going to hug white's head and shoulders.

confession AND hug time!]

[enfangs]

[HE SCREAMS BECAUSE WHAT THE FUCK]

[probe]

[WOW, SCREAMS OF JOY!! THEY'RE SO THRILLED! they enjoy hugging white also. they bestow a kiss on the top of white's head!

he'll quickly grow increasingly drowsy until his eyes shut, but it's okay, they hold him upright. white has a little dream. he dreams of several different places in the base, and then focuses on a particular one.

the dream shifts, and in his hand, he has a piece of evidence. and then he wakes up.

sloth is holding him like they're recreating the pietà, but will let white down if white wants! white's phone dings, and he has a new attachment:

Déjà Vu

When you fall asleep Thursday night, you will dream of several locations. Picking the right location in the dream may offer you a hint about what has transpired there.]

Haha, good morning!

[enfangs]

[SLOTH!!!!

anyway.

WHITE YELLS IN EMBARRASSMENT YES HE WOULD LIKE TO BE PUT DOWN]

[probe]

[WHITE PLEASE

it's fine, they will put him down on his feets.]

[enfangs]

[yay, dignity...

he rubs at his head for a moment, before he checks his phone. he, uh, frowns a bit because please, he (and jan) is too stupid for this ability, but.]

Thanks, Sloth. Don't know how well I'll do in a dream, but I'll try my best?

[probe]

[you can do it, jan. utilize the power you created.]

Oh, you'll be just fine, White! [looks at today's trial and hms.] I believe in you!

Try your best!

[enfangs]

[white always tries his best and that's how he does things like almost eat poisoned food]

... Not sure if you're much of a critical thinker, but thanks, I will?

[probe]

[white is so mean :pensive:]

See! There's nothing better than believing in yourself, White!

[enfangs]

I-Is this suddenly a pep talk...

[probe]

Yeah! You could use it sometimes! I don't think you give yourself enough credit, you know. Being smart isn't everything all the time! My brother is smart, but he still has problems!

Sometimes you can just be strong! Sometimes the simplest advice is the best, even if people think you're stupid.

[enfangs]

[a pause





before he nods]

Yeah! I'm strong, so what the hell does anything else matter?

[probe]

There you go. Good job, White! You can help by just being strong and tough!

[enfangs]

Right, right. That's what I'm gonna do!

[being strong and tough literally doesn't help anywhere here but white won't pass the chance to be validated for having no braincells]

[probe]

[i wish i knew what these two fucks were doing they are so stupid.]

I knew you had it in you. Now just don't die, alright! Or if you do, don't go out without a good fight! You're strong, remember.

[they hold out a fist. fist... bump...?]

[enfangs]

[yea!! fistbump!!]
