“Mmh... but it’s the weekend, Glasses... we’re s’posed to be on break from studying...”

He’s more than a little grumpy after being suddenly awoken from a nice nap... but more than that, he can’t help but feel that something is off.

“... Hey, Klug... your face is really red. Are you feeling okay...?”

@bluebugcatcher

“H-hey! Sig! You should be s-studying right now—!”

Klug’s cheeks are definitely redder than usual, and he puffs out his cheeks in anger, though he’s teetering a little too much to look serious.

“You’re my friend, and I wanna make sure you do well!”

[bluebugcatcher]

“Oh, hi... welcome to Bug-Bug Bakery. What can I get for ya...?”

From what could be seen, this town looked nice enough. But one word caught her attention: “Teacher.” Not only that, the first building that she saw when the boy pointed had these strange round things on the borders of the roof. She was curious to find out more. She pointed to the building and asked, “Is that where your teacher works?”

“...Hm?”

Until now, he hadn’t really considered his teacher’s job “work”, but... yeah, that was technically what any job was, huh?

“Huh... I guess so. You wouldn’t know it was work from watching her, though. She seems to like teaching a whole lot.”

At that moment, a thought came to him.

“Y’know, the school’s technically still open... we have a mini library, though it’s not as big as the one in town. I can show it to you, if you want... there’s some kinda interesting books in there.”

[bluebugcatcher]

“Mm... myep...”

Bless him, he was trying to follow the conversation. His brain was just too clouded by sleepiness to allow it. At this point, it was all he could do just to keep his legs moving and not just collapse outright on his poor friend.

To be fair, it wasn’t that odd that no one noticed him... on the very rare occasions he actually chose to spend time in the library, he preferred to hang out in the most remote, secluded corners of the building. And since their town was known for its exceptionally large library... that made finding anything a bit of a challenge.

Nevermind that, though. Suddenly, he felt something soft underneath him, and was immediately all too willing to flop down upon it. He could vaguely register a voice from Klug that told him it was okay to sleep here, and that was pretty much all he needed.

“Hnnthanks, Glass...... ...”

And he was out like a light.

Sig was barely more than dead weight as Klug led him down the winding cobblestone path that led out of Primp Town and towards Klug’s house. The blue-haired boy’s sleepy mumbling was admittedly charming, but Klug had to make himself focus on getting them somewhere with a bed before Sig collapsed on the ground. 

 “I’m glad you’re using it to educate yourself, especially in an topic that you’re already passionate about.” 

 He’d done the same thing with books on history and space since he could learn how to read, though the staying at the library until it closed thing was more recent. He was at the library since school had ended as well, so it was strange they hadn’t seen each other. 

Maybe Klug was too wrapped up in his studying to notice.

 Eventually, they made it down a dirt path to the small cottage where Klug and his mother lived. Klug unlocked the door was a small spell and led the other boy inside, through the small living room, and into his own room.

 He sat Sig down on his bed, trying to be gentle but not too gentle. He had a reputation to keep up. He’d stay up later; his mother still wasn’t home, and he wasn’t sleepy anyway, and besides, besides his mother’s bed it was the only one in the house. If he really needed to sleep he’d use the armchair by the stove. 

 “Sig, we’re at my house. You can sleep, if you wish. Just don’t make too much of a mess.”

Talk about Black Sig.

“Black... huh? Sorry, but I don’t know what that means... I don’t like the color black that much...”

“Oh, except on bees. They have black and yellow stripes, and I think those look nice on them. My favorite are the big fuzzy honeybees. Oh yeah, and the black spots on ladybugs! I love those, I think they’re cute. I still have my ladybug bag at home, even though it’s too worn out to really use anymore...”

“...... wait, what were we talking about again?”

[bluebugcatcher]

“Yes, That large fellow who was infatuated with Raffina. His Puyo skills were acceptable, but his attempts to woo her were fruitless to say the least.” 

 supposed Sig would have seen Tarutaru at least briefly before he left Primp, but when Sig arrived he definitely received more attention.

 “No, it’s not, but I suppose I shouldn’t talk. My name is the German word for ‘smart.’”

“Well, I mean... your name is fitting for you, cause you are smart.”

“Though now that I think about it, Ringo and Maguro said they were both named after food too, didn’t they...? So maybe food names aren’t that weird...”

Sig looked off into space for a bit, as if thinking hard about something, before his gaze suddenly shifted back to his classmate.

“Hey... what do you think my name means?”

[bluebugcatcher]

Talk about Klug! (Snobbishbookworm)

“Sure? I think Glasses already talks about himself plenty, but... alright.”

“Let’s see, um... well, he wears glasses. He’s the only one in our class who does besides Teacher, but his are more normal-sized while Teacher’s are super tiny, and... oh wait, I guess you meant what he’s like on the inside, right?”

“Well... everyone says he’s mean, and they’re... kinda not wrong? He says hurtful things sometimes and he’s pretty harsh, especially when it’s about studying and other school-related things. I guess that’s why a lot of people at school don’t like him...“

“But I don’t think he’s actually a mean person. He tutors people all the time even when he doesn’t have to, and sometimes he helps out around the library after school. He’s really nice, but he’s sort of like... one of those people who acts mean to try and hide how nice they are. If that makes sense...”

[bluebugcatcher]

Send “Talk about-” and a name for my muse to talk about that person!

He had already hooked her interest. “Oh, it’s fine. I’m still interested. I honestly don’t really care how much you can show me, at least it’s something.” She couldn’t wait to tell Tokei about her encounter, at least if they got back together by the end of the day. “So, uh, where is your town?”

“It’s right here. We’re standing in it. Well... kind of.”

He pointed toward the brick road nearby, which led into a street lined with some cozy-looking residential houses. The street itself disappeared beyond that point, but behind the houses, one could clearly see the larger, fancier structures that made up the more public and business-oriented areas of town. From where they stood, they could clearly make out the museum, the town hall, and most prominent of all, the Magic School.

“We’re pretty much right outside of it. But this outside part is still considered ‘town’ too, I guess... that’s what Teacher says, anyway.”

guess my fav

what if tho..

“Actually, no, I’m not. I’ve never even been in your town, wherever it is. I’m… kinda curious, actually.” And now was when she noticed the boy’s appearance. He had a claw that replaced his right hand, and one of his eyes was red as well. She wondered if the other people in his town were similar, which made her even more curious about that place. “Maybe you could show me around.”

“Oh, so you’re like a traveler.”

Sig smiled a little. It was always cool to see new people passing through... he didn’t even mind that much when he noticed her looking over his hand and eye. He was very used to strangers’ stares by now.

“Sure, I can show you around a little, if you want. Dunno how much I can show you, though... I haven’t been living here that long myself.“

[bluebugcatcher]

“look, a ladybug!”

Haiko nodded and went to the rock carefully. When she was close enough, she crouched down and tried her luck. The catch was a success. Satisfied by the result, she slid the sheet of paper under the jar so that he wouldn’t fly away again. Walking back to the boy, she was kind of glad she’d get the chance, as she hadn’t been able to catch any bugs, let alone a stag, in quite a while. She let the bug inside the cage, closed it, and sighed in relief. “Well, that’s that.”

“Yep... wow, nice catch.”

It was so rare to see someone else who was that comfortable handling bugs, and a girl no less, that Sig couldn’t help but be a little impressed. He took the cage and tucked it carefully back into his bag.

“You sure helped me out. Thanks, uh... wait... are you from around here? I don’t think I‘ve seen you in town before...”

The frog took notice that his - ‘opponent’ - had begin chaining, even if they were small chain, and begins to attempt chaining as well. Somehow this tactic would prove to be at least a bit more successful than what it was Sig was doing - as a 3-chain would soon result from his attempts to set up a chain.

But he was sure Sig would at least try to retaliate…

And try to retaliate Sig did... the key word being ‘try’. While he had plenty of groups ready to offset the garbage about to drop on him, he got unlucky with his colors, and only managed one chain before reaching a dead end. His reward was a decently-sized pile of garbage to the head.

“...Oof.”

It didn’t do much other than startle him a bit, and he quickly got to work clearing the garbage away.

He couldn’t help but wonder, though... how much more would that garbage have affected a normal person?
