On the top of a ridge overlooking a vast open landscape, two vaguely cat-shaped figures sat.
The lighter-colored being gave a nervous chuckle, then asked, "Sorry, what was that?"
The tortoiseshell turned, the last remnants of the snakelike scales surrounding his yellow slitted eyes melting away to be replaced with russet fur. "I said, 'Well, that spoiled like a pile of crow-food.'" He repeated.
The cream-colored cat nodded. "Ah- yes, yes, it did, rather." He said, glancing away again and toward the two outlines in the distance, growing smaller by the minute.
"Bit of an overreaction if you ask me," the tortoiseshell contemplated aloud as the white-and-cream figure shifted his weight awkwardly from one paw to the other. "First offence and everything. I-" the yellow-eyed being stopped for a moment, then continued slowly, "I can't see what's so bad about hunting a mouse anyway."
"Well it must be bad..." the blue-eyed one began, then trailed off upon realizing he wasn't entirely sure of the other being's name.
"Cobra," the tortoishell said with a nod. He'd only recently chosen that name, but wasn't sure it entirely suited him.
"Cobra," the lighter cat continued after the clarification, "otherwise... you wouldn't have tempted them into it." He glanced away.
Cobra grimaced, replying, "Oh, they just said, 'Get up there and make some trouble.'" He wasn't entirely certain that the earth was, in terms of actual space, technically up from the Dark Forest, but it hadn't exactly gone well for him the last time he attempted to correct a higher authority, and he'd suspected it was wiser not to risk it a second time.
"Well, obviously. You're a Dark Forest warrior." The pale figure said with a sideways glance. "It's what you do."
Cobra decided it would be best to ignore that remark and instead stated, "Not very subtle of StarClan though. Your leader, I mean," he clarified. "Letting the creature run about and telling them not to touch it. I mean, if She really didn't want it to end up eaten, why not put it on top of a high mountain? Or on the moon?" He snorted. After that comment prompted no response from the fluffy being, he murmured, "Makes you wonder what StarClan's Leader's really planning."
"Best not to speculate," the other cat chimed in worriedly. "It's all part of Her plan. It's not for us to understand." With a glance in Cobra's direction, he added, "It's ineffable."
The tortoiseshell scrunched his brows. "Her plan's ineffable?" He asked with a frown.
"Exactly," the fluffier creature said with a flick of his ear. "It is beyond understanding and incapable of being put into words." He said, not noticing the way Cobra appeared to be inspecting him until the tortoiseshell made an observation that caused the pale cat to shrink back a bit.
"Didn't you have a flaming stick?"
"Er..." the lighter cat glanced away nervously.
"You did, it was flaming like anything! What happened to it?"
"Uh..." the pale one seemed incapable of forming anything other than one-syllable utterances, something the calico was beginning to find amusing.
"Lost it already, have you?" He asked with a raised brow.
"Gave it away," the light-colored one said in what was barely louder than a whisper.
"You what?" Cobra asked, yellow eyes widened and a hint of a smile playing on the edges of his mouth.
"I gave it away!" The cream one repeated with agitation. "There are vicious animals. It's going to be cold out there, and she's expecting already, and I said, 'Here you go, flaming stick. Don't thank me. And don't let the sun go down on you here.'" After a moment of watching the figures in the distance, he added worriedly, "I do hope I didn't do the wrong thing..."
The calico frowned. "Oh, you're a StarClan cat. I don't think you can do the wrong thing."
The paler cat's shoulders slumped with relief. "Oh- oh, thank you. It's been bothering me," he sighed, eyes suddenly darting to the figures in the distance, one with a flaming stick held in his jaw which he appeared to be threatening a wolf with.
"I've been worrying, too." Cobra said as he stared into the distance as the scene unfolded. "What if I did the right thing, with the whole 'catch the mouse business'? A Dark Forest warrior can get into a lot of trouble for doing the right thing..." he trailed off, glancing at the cream cat and stretching out a pair of dark wings from his body, wings which appeared to be made from pure shadow. As he did so, one of the cats in the distance stabbed the wolf through the throat with the flaming stick. The cream cat winced. "It'd be funny if we both got it wrong, eh?" The calico asked with a small smile. "If I did the good thing and you did the bad one."
They both chuckled, but the pale cat's laugh quickly turned and he pinned his ears back, quickly saying, "No! It wouldn't be funny at all!"
"Well..." Cobra murmured, looking away again. Suddenly, he felt a droplet of water hit the fur on his muzzle. As he began to look up, the cream cat sprouted wings made from starlight and stretched one above the darker one's head. They both sat in silence and stared at the figures in the distance growing ever smaller.

One of the biggest complaints about SB was that Glitchtrap was basically nonexistent. Help Wanted introduced him as a character, and it might have been him possessing the Glamrock animatronics before, but nothing was done with the concept.
Is that what this is?? Are we finally like, confronting him? Cuz that thing looks more and more like a multitool the longer I look at it, so maybe it's a bunch of things. Taser, hard drive/USB, hacking devise, ect. Maybe it's an anti-virus, too.

if you haven’t been watching it takes two then that means you’ve missed 11 layton and nikita interviews, some of which include nikita saying “that’s my boy” while watching a clip of layton shaking ass, nikita saying to layton “you’re gorgeous on top it’s a beautiful view” when talking about lifting him (although it might sound like i’m taking the piss that is literally what he said), nikita saying he would be excited to be led by “this beautiful man” but layton saying he’ll only do it if nikita wears a latin dress, and nikita revealing that he cried while watching layton dance the paso in training that week. it’s quite honestly essential viewing
ohhhhhh myyyyy godddddd fine FINE THEN GUESS I WILL
