-> He sets his bag down by the door and rolls his shoulder, walking over to the couch and leaning against the back of it.

"Sorry I took so long."

-> Footsteps approach the apartment door, followed by the sound of the handle unlocking and turning. The door opens and Sci enters carrying a bag over his shoulder.

"Buster? I'm back!"

@bounded-hologram

-> Buster, who was laying on the couch and watching TV, suddenly perked up at the sound of his fiancé's voice, sitting up straight and letting his tail wag excitedly behind him.

[bounded-hologram]

So Hover changed a lot then huh? Do you feel bad for him cause of what he’s gone through or are your views the same as Buster’s?

-> He drums his fingers against the table he's sitting at, thinking on it.

"..I haven't decided. I don't think he wasn't deserving of punishment, he scarred Buster for life after all. But.. I do think it was a bit too much, involving and threatening his loved ones. If that makes any sense."

[bounded-hologram]

Hai SCI! What’s your opinion on Hoverboard?

"He's kind of a prick, honestly. I don't like how he talks- Or uh, talked, to Buster."

"Guess that's not the same now, though."

[bounded-hologram]

ok time for me to pass out (thank u @simply-windy for keeping me sane all these hours)

[bounded-hologram]

He almost set Coolerbox and Catshot on fire-

-> He just groans and rubs his forehead.

"Buster..."

[bounded-hologram]

"You could've gotten hurt!"

-> He folds his arms, his shoulders tensed as he glares at Buster. But that anger was, of course, a facade - he was just very worried about his fiance.

"Again!"

I think your fiancé likes fire too much-

"...What happened."

[bounded-hologram]

I think your fiancé likes fire too much-

"...What happened."

I hope your dad gets what he deserves... Praying to god he does. - @simply-windy

-> He stays silent, hiding his face again.

[bounded-hologram]

Yeah. He found a Venomshank who actually helped him. Gave him some kind of antidote! He's gonna be okay, Sci. I promise. - @simply-windy

-> He visibly relaxes and sighs, bumping his head back against the wall.

"That's good.."

[bounded-hologram]

What do you mean by "it's going"? What's going on, Sci? - @simply-windy

"..Don't.. Don't want to talk about it right now."

-> He clutches his sleeve, hiding his face in his knees. He peeks out at you after a second.

"How's Buster...? I heard that he got help for what happened?"

[bounded-hologram]

Also Sci.... Could I bother you to tell me your feelings/opinions on your family...? Your aunt and uncles... - @simply-windy

"Don't like them very much. Besides Dark, now at least.. They're... Okay, I suppose..."

-> He pulls his knees closer to his chest, looking down at the floor with hollow eyes.

[bounded-hologram]

So.... Sci... How's it going? - @simply-windy

-> He's staring blankly forward at the wall of his apartment, sitting on the floor with his knees to his chest. His eyes are dull and his voice is quiet with numbness.

"..It's going."

[bounded-hologram]

I think Marsh is taking him to his Venomshank or by the looks of it “Gooeyshank”. Giant dragon guy! Maybe he can help?

-> He paces, tapping his hand on arm anxiously.

"Maybe?? Shit, I.."

-> He runs a hand through his hair before exhaling.

"..I need to speak to my father. Just in case."

-> Something tells you that this is definitely a last resort option in his mind.

[bounded-hologram]

He’s with another version of you! Marshmallow Sword! He’s not doing too well-

-> He curses, clearly conflicted.

"I.. Okay, if my father has already gotten a hold on him, then I can't do anything in that department. But maybe.. Maybe if I talk to my father, I can help Buster."

"There's no way Buster hasn't been poisoned already.. My father would have the antidote, surely..."

[bounded-hologram]

Uh- Sci- I think your dad may have figured out-

-> He grabs your shoulders, his voice a low hiss.

"Where is Buster..?! Do you know? I need to- I need to find him!"

[bounded-hologram]

......I think he might know, Sci. - @simply-windy

"...What."

[bounded-hologram]

Why not? Wouldn't be excited to know you're getting married? - @simply-windy

"He wouldn't be. And I don't CARE about what he thinks. He can think whatever he wants."
