Footnote: Friday wears cuff links! ✨

[shadowguy-friday]

*[Friday listens to Battat's explanation intently, nodding at each point. The crowd--Tenna's adoring fans--would prohibit him from keeping watch from the audience balcony. The stage...would likely be bustling with action, making the use of firearms impractical and risky.]

*[In addition, Friday would also have to ensure Battat had ample time to react in order to defuse the bomb. If what Battat was saying held true--and it would, as he insisted--the bomber would likely attack directly at center stage, for all to see...]

🎼🎶🎷‼️💡‼️🎶🎵I|

*[...center stage. The rigging above the stage...and the catwalk. Friday had done plenty of work up there for his Tenna in the past. He had practically lived up there. If he were to use the flying harnesses mounted to the scaffolding above the stage, he could drop down onto Tenna's attacker from above--much like the multiple shifts he'd taken on the set of Susiezilla.]

*[...and he knew how quickly you could land if you released the tension on the pulley abruptly enough.]

*[Looking down to the pile of bomb defusers, then to his new comrade-in-arms, Friday's resolve was steeled.]

*[...he picks up one more diffuser. Just in case.]

🎼🎶🎷🎥☝️💣🎵I|

*He explains his idea to Battat.

*Sounds like a tense accelerando.

Good GROOVE-TASTIC morning to you too, Anon!!

... Wait, wha-

[* The last thing Tenna heard was a pippins screaming at the top of their lungs to get down.]

[* Tenna's screen is shattered. His chest and abdomen are blown open, his wires are scorched, his suit is wrecked. His body twitches in jerky movements, a horrifically static-filled glitching sound spurting out from him as he tries and fails to speak. Sparks fly from him; his circuits are frying from the heat of the explosion alongside his own adrenaline.]

[* The TV host is unresponsive on the floor, sprawled out like a hunk of scrap.]

[* Everyone rushes to help him. All three Mikes, Ramb, at least a dozen pippins. The furniture on this side of the Green Room is annihilated and there's a crater in the floor where Tenna lies, voice garbled and dying. It's unclear if he's attempting to speak, or if he's trying to scream in pain, fear, and confusion. Maybe it's all of the above.]

[* ... Off to a TV-tastic start.]

[shadowguy-friday]

*[Friday's grip on the Pippins's--38's--shoulder began to tremble as "Battat" spoke. The notion that the carnage they'd all witnessed might not, in fact, be a one-time tragedy, but a potential precursor to something that might actually destroy Tenna...]

*[Friday pulls his hands away from 38’s shoulders and stalks over to Battat, fury evident on his face. He looks back once more at the Green Room—at its surfaces, now clean, having already forgotten of the horrors that had taken place here—and made his decision. He would not forget.]

*[He turns back to face the green ball of fury in front of him.]

🎼…🎵🎷⚔️💡🎶I|

*Wants to know Battat's plan.

*Sounds like a furious adagio.

*Sounds like murderous intent.

*[Friday sprints into the room looking incredibly disheveled.]

*He’s demanding to know which way the anon went.

*…sounds like desperation.

Pipe bomb

NOT THIS TIME!!!

[ * Tenna pulls out a baseball bat and hits the bomb into the distance. ]

[shadowguy-friday]

🎼🎵🎷🎲…🎶🎵I|

*[Friday’s posture stiffens at the description of the perpetrator’s actions, his mouth twisting into a snarl at the thought of someone having enough malicious intent to walk up to their boss with a bomb.]

*[As the Pippins begins to tremble, Friday’s grimace softens, and they give the darkner’s shoulders a gentle shake, speaking in soft saxophone notes.]

*Shaking his head. Doesn’t blame you.

*[Friday keeps a gentle hold on the Pippins as he looks around the room, gaze landing on the truckload of instant bomb diffusers that had been dumped on the ground moments too late in a cruel twist of fate.]

*[Someone out there would have to know who did this. It was televised.]

*[With the right amount of help, they could be dealt with.]

…🎼🎶🎷🚫🕶️🎵I|

*Sounds like determination.

🎼🎵🎷…🎶I|

*[Friday was frozen to the spot, the Pippins’ words barely registering in his mind. All he heard for the longest moment was the terrible, terrible noises escaping his boss as he was taken away.]

🎼🎶🎷🎲❓😵‍💫💥🎵🎶I|

*[He snaps back to his senses, balled fists now shaking with rage. His face snaps down to look at the Pippins next to him and he places his hands on their shoulders, turning them to face him fully and checking him over for injuries.]

*Sounds like broken jazz.

*[Friday turns back to the room at large.]

🎼🎶🎷⁉️💣💥📺⁉️⁉️🎵I|

*He’s demanding to know who saw what happened.

*…sounds like retribution.

*Running into the crater to asses the damage with the rest of the staff.

NOPE!! I’M DANDY!! HAHAHAHAAAA.

🎼🎶🎵🎷❗️🐈‍⬛🪶🎶🎵I|

*[He begins batting at the feather excitedly.]

*Sounds like a rapid jazz solo.

--𝄢🎷

[ * the anon grabs a FEATHER ! ]

the recent allegations of people claiming you’re “ticklish”.

or, in short, the allegations i’m about to undoubtedly prove are correct.

[ * commence the feather attack !! ]

— 🌕 : chaotic energy-filled testing anon

ACK!! MIKE-!! HAHA-! MIKE TELL THEM TO STOP!!

[shadowguy-friday]

🎼🎵🎶😳❓🎷🎵🎶I|

*Confused at his boss’s sudden change in attitude.

*[Turns to the pippins and makes a “what the heck was that?” gesture.]

-𝄢🎷

🎼🎶🎷❓😵‍💫🎶🎵 I|

*[He enters the studio looking confused.]

*Could have sworn the place looked different when he stepped out for coffee…

-𝄢🎷

Hey! You there! Are you the intern they're supposed to be sending from the legal department? I need you to take a message to them PRONTO!!! Withdraw the lawsuits! Drop the charges!! Drop their families!!!

[* Tenna waves his arms, spreading them out as he gives a happy shout.]

Today is a new, GROOVY, TV-TASTIC DAY!!!

[* He skips towards the shadowguy, bending down to give him a tiny smooch on the noggin, followed by an enthusiastic pat on the head before he skips away, approaching a few pippins standing by. They're bug-eyed, nervous as they stare up at Tenna.]

[* He continues with the joyful enthusiasm, though. The pippins share bewildered looks with one another. Seems like they were expecting the interaction to go much differently.]

[* The whole studio seems to be rather bright and cheery today.]

[shadowguy-friday]

🎼🎵🎶🎷…I|

*Feels a bit better—though he may be out of a job judging by how mad his boss was last night.

-𝄢🎷

🎼🎵🎶😰😞🎷🦖🦕📺🎷🎶🎵I|

*Something about a “dinosaur incident” in the other studio.

*Laying low in case Tenna’s mad.

*[Quite literally lying facedown on the floor.]

-𝄢🎷

[ SENT TO: The Wings. ] 🎼🎶😨‼️🎷

[ * All of the Shadowguys INSTANTLY run up and comfort Friday. Sounds like not-so-soothing jazz. ]

[shadowguy-friday]

🎼🎶‼️🧊🎷🎵I|

*Uh oh.

*[He scrambles to grab as many bags of ice as he can from the concession stand.]

-𝄢🎷

*the anon whipped out a step stool, climbed up on it, and promptly kissed tenna on the cheek*

there you go. thats the secret. thats all.

!!!

[ * WHIIIIIIRRRRRRR ]

[ * Aaaand he passed out again! Great! ]

[shadowguy-friday]

🎼🎵🎶🎷🧦💜🎶🎵I|

*Got a pair of purple, heart-patterned socks!

*Clearly, the peak of fashion.

-𝄢🎷

Hey, buddy.

In the market for some..."goods" for your employees? I got an eye for what they like.

(Opens trenchcoat to reveal several cartoonishly patterned pairs of socks.)

Don't worry they're all obtained perfectly legally

-🧦

[ SENT TO : THE WINGS ] [ * Quite literally all of the Shadowguys dash to the Anon, picking out socks and trying them on. It sounds like a band rehearsal. After each Shadowguy has a pair of socks, they shake hands with the Anon and are off on their merry way. ]

[shadowguy-friday]

🎼…🎷😞🎵I|

*…seems he forgot in his eagerness to cheer you up.

*[He holds up a finger as if to suggest something else, but at the apprehension on your face, quickly lowers his arm and steps back sheepishly.]

*Apologetic.

-𝄢🎷

🎼🎶🎷😞🎵🎶I|…

*He’s relieved to see you back to normal, but…

*[He takes off his hat and begins wringing it in his hands.]

*Seems he feels guilty that he can’t do more to help, but he wants you to know that he and the other staff are here for whatever you need.

*Some calm music for off-air hours? Something,,,?

-𝄢🎷

Thank you Friday, but I’ll be alright. And there’s not much you can do.

[shadowguy-friday]

🎼🎶🎷💡🏖️❓🎵I|!

*[He sighs, putting his hat back on with a nod. Suddenly, it seems like he has an idea.]

*[He excitedly tugs on your coattails and points to one of the several posters in the studio. It depicts a sunny beach with lots of activities for the whole family to enjoy.]

(He would look good with a tan, after all.)
