rayne! congrats on the divorce! i know you love sharing information about your personal life so much

* You again. * The guy who was asking about horses that other time. * That's what you are to me. The horse guy. * Have you come to rain on my parade yet again?

* Honestly it was more fun watching you make fun of Klieg's name. * Actually got a laugh or two out of me watching him squirm. Even picked up on the habit myself. * Anyway, was this message any less offensive, then our mutual enjoyment of making fun of that lamp idiot's name could spark a friendship between us.

* But you know... I could play dumb and pretend not to know what you're referring to. But Mike has requested that I refrain from being a "bummer" to our fans or "trying to pick fights". * But for you to send me something like this. You do not sound like a fan. * Unless you know something that I don't, then don't waste my time and just go away. * ...Horse guy.

* . . . * Sigh. * . . . * (It's reassuring to see you think so little of my intelligence to believe I'd fall for such a "generous" bluff.) * (Besides... The Doctor taught me well when he said others weren't to be trusted. I suppose he was referring to those like you?) * Shrug. * (How is he anyway? Rumours say that you hide in your tower, cowering in fear of him.) * (Knowing he's swimming circles in the waters of your fountain, ready to feast the moment you misstep.) * (...And all while my calls for his return have gone unanswered, further proving you can't count on Lightners to ever help you in times of need.) * (What a shame.) * . . . * (Regarding your threat, as a mother, I can't lose my head so quickly for my little one.) * (I know they're out there. I'm terrified but I will find them no matter what.) * (I've warned you once, Gary. And I'll warn you once more... as a... How would you say... precaution.) * (You do not want to cross me.) * (I'll tear through reality itself to be with my child again. And if I find him in your claws...) * (Don't expect polite talk or banter.)

* (Spamton... You've come to gloat again.) * (Why? Is your illusion of a paradise not enough?)

Such a silly boy...) * (My actions are selfless, and my thoughts are with my people and my family.) * (But I suppose you wouldn't know of this, "Gary". Such is your nature to discard others the same way you've been discarded.) * (Don't try to ingratiate yourself with me by thinking I'm following in your footsteps.) * (What I'll do will be revolutionary. Whether the Wire Mother decides to help me or not.)

* (And when I do burn in the sun. Won't you stay and watch the show? * (I envy your ability to find comfort in loneliness and mediocrity.)

So Klieg, please don't take this the wrong way, but I've been doing some research on lamp anatomy and I'm kind of drawing a blank on a major issue. It's a well-known fact that you guys are sort of insect-like in nature and have an "exoskeleton" of sorts, but, well... I'm just going to ask it, do you molt?

* No. We do not "molt".

* Wait... Did... Did you just compare me to an insect?? What kind of research are you reading?!

[askdeltacable]

is mittens taken 🥺🥺🥺👉👈

* Golly! I'm unsure if Mikey intended for this line to be used in such a way!

* ...Anymeow, who's askin'? * If ya let me check in with my other lady friends, I'm sure we can set up some sorta play date. * ...You are a lady friend, ain'tcha?

[askdeltacable]

doing a funny song and dance for Rayne's entertainment. la la la

☂️ * Dance young lightners. * Lightner or Darkner, it matters not. * Dance to the end of our world. * As a forecaster, it was foolish of me to ignore the signs. * May the water shower you with mercy.

[askdeltacable]

Hey Klieg, where's Rouxls? Is he avaliable for QnA?

💡 * Roux.... "Rouxls"...? Am I pronouncing that right? * I'm afraid I'm not familiar with such an individual. * Why are you bothering me with dim questions such as this? I'm not in charge of who is and isn't in this QnA. * Rouxls... Frankly I can't imagine such an individual bearing any significance to my arc. * Go poke the bosses about this, can't you see I'm busy?

[askdeltacable]

Klieg, which is your favorite and least favorite arm?

💡 * WHAT. * What kind of senseless question is thi-

💡 * Wait... Is this something that two-armed... havers... care about? * I suppose when one is that physically limited, one could be prone to such indulgences. ...Fascinating. * But you certainly couldn't catch ME asking YOU what your favourite eye is. Or your favourite leg? * . . . This is not an invitation to talk to me about your favourite limbs. I promise I care very little.

[askdeltacable]

Wait, Mike, is the suit a part of your body, or can you take it off and change it out with other suits for different events?

🎙️ * Well, it ain't really a viable option now that I'm stuck like this, now is it? * But I got plenty o' outfits for every occasion. Shame the fans ain't had the chance the see 'em. * Unless by "Suit", ya mean my body before I became...? * . . . * Y'know, thinkin' 'bout it just bums me out. * Sorry, kid.

[askdeltacable]

Rayne, I have pondered the inevitability of climate change for you, as well as- hold on- 💃🕺 done my dance. And I’d like to ask you, what is your favorite kind of weather?

* ...Hm. Your dancing is acceptable, Lightner. I'll indulge your question. * . . . * My favourite kind of weather? * ...A storm. In the dark ocean. * Do you hear the old song from the sea, Lightner? * Do you hear the roaring of the Fountain and how it beckons you? * I remember how he used to tell me that he heard the sea flow underneath our world. * I guess we both are drawn to water.

[askdeltacable]

Tenna, can you hear me? I think it's time to go home.

* ( . . . ) * ( Your voice whispers out a name. ) * ( You call out. )

📺 * ...Ț̴̘͖͋́e̵̢͔͉̐̚̚ǹ̴̞͓̽͘n̴͖̫͋͝a̸͔̾̔͘͜͜...?

* ( You whisper. Your voice crackles with static, like claws scratching at your throat. ) * ( You cry out again, calling, praying, yelling, screaming. ) * ( Your cathode's scream echoes through the vast emptiness, waiting to hear that familiar voice once more. ) * ( . . . ) * ( But the void rejects your call. )

Hey, Mike, I'm a big fan, and I wanna know.... who does your tailoring? Your suits are so snazzy! And are there any job openings in Wardrobe?

🎙️ * Oh viewer, yer gonna make blush! HEAHEAHEA! 🎙️ * How'dya know flattery was my weakness? 🎙️ * Oh, but how I miss my dapper suits... It gets tough tryin' to find clothes in this size, y'know? In such lovely shades of pink, no less.

🎙️ * Most of our costumin' crew's still around! The Director works 'em like crazy but we're all passionate 'bout our roles here! 🎙️ * We ain't had big stars to dress up since the Divide, but I'm thinkin' our Lightners may take some interest! 🎙️ * I'm shakin' with excitement! I only wish I was better dressed for the occasion!

[askdeltacable]

Hey, Mike! Have you and Host ever had technical mishaps with that cable tail of yours? Feels like a tangling hazard for any nearby doorhandles-

🎙️ * I wouldn't say tanglin', but... 🎙️ * The ol' thing's been stepped on more than I can remember! 🎙️ * Even chewed on at some point! 📺 * (*Signs*)

🎙️ * Host says we need new doors because their antenna keep hittin' the frames. 🎙️ * (...Hunbun, why haven'cha mentioned this before? We can getcha taller doors!)

[askdeltacable]

keith what if i threw popcorn at you

* H-HEY! DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD THAT IS TO CLEAN?! * If you find my films to be this unlikeable, I am open to having an honest discussion and- * Hold on. D-Did you just call me "Keith"? Was this message meant for someone else?

[askdeltacable]

klieg, do you have any projects that you’ve been brainstorming recently?

* This is a rather embarrassing inquiry. * The crew is unmotivated and I dare suggest that their lack of interest in my ideas has been less than inspiring... * I feel like a fraud if I may be honest.

[askdeltacable]

mittens can you teach me how to cook

* Ooh, fan mail for lil ol' me? Ah shucks, ya shouldn't have! * Mike always comes up with tha most fun ideas! * Didntcha hear, Lightner? A new Fountain has opened in our world and our shows are back on! * You'll stay and watch, right? I'll teach ya to cook somethin' fun that's sure to warm yer starvin' hearts!

[askdeltacable]

mike, have you ever gotten lost in a small space such as between couch cushions or in a shower drain 😔

🎙️ * (Put the fangs away, Host. They're not being mean to us.)

🎙️ * I ain't no stranger to smallness-induced incidents, dear viewer! 🎙️ * When yer this vertically challenged such as I, y'work with whatcha got! 🎙️ * T'was easier to get around when I had my ol' body with me. Us mics are quite agile and resilient, y'know? 🎙️ * Just let your partner know ahead o' time when ya decide to take a nap under the bed. Communication's important!
