Scene 1: Chip & Chad

Chip approaches Chad. Chad's been working hard with training!
He's returning a manga! He didn't expect the mecha to show up… they end up talking about the plot indepth.
Chad's room hasn't changed much since he moved in. The original furniture is still there and stuff. He's bought some books, though, and a gaming chair and a ton of monitors
Chip notes that it's barebones, just like his
You can tell a lot about a person, says Chip, and then was invited to cold read him
You've got a lot of hangups about your brother which is the gimme. He doesn't entirely know what to do to fit in.
Chad: Well I'm a little bit older but you guys are more experienced… weird dynamic
Darla's going for the alpha bitch thing
Chad actually has a decent read on Darla… he guesses that she's compensating for not having any power. waow
Chip's joking. He jokes darkly a lot. But he continues to pry into Chad's media literacy
CHAD TOUCHED GRASS
Chip admits that he's not really into books. When pressed on his hobbies, he said he's a bit of an eclectic. He just does what interests him until he's bored and moves on
But don't you ever miss it? Chad struggles to understand completely moving on from things you love
But he has been teaching CL30 about jokes! :D
We're all different from what Chad expected. Chip says you have to look out for people who want to be other people.
Okay but what about fashion trends and stuff?
Ask Darla lol
He just thinks it's normal to want to fit in, but maybe you don't.
Chip: Maybe I'm bad at being normal lol
But why?
Chip: What were you going to do if you didn't gel with us as teammates?
Chad: Well then I'd make it work. Compromise harder
Chip thinks it's a kind of wisdom. "Just do it" is sometimes the answer…
Chad's like, but wait, if you don't care what anyone thinks why did you read the book just for me
Chip: Well of course. I'm going to make this team work
Common goal :)
Chip's a light novel kinda guy
Chad does not buy the assertion that Chip is boring :/
Chip: Well, I haven't gotten bored of playing with you yet. You and one other person. Who? It's a secret ;)
As Chip goes, Chad pulls a book off the shelf. It's THE BUNNYGIRL THING LMAOOOOO-
Chad: IT'S ACTUALLY REALLY IMPORTANT TO HER CHARACTER THAT SHE'S-

Scene 2: Darla & Weezer & Spellweaver

Library. Darla's there and Spellweaver is there and Weezer comes in
Awkward introductions
He was looking for Spellweaver! He was reading a book
He's been researching the artifact fruitlessly for three weeks. Missed D&D :(
Spellweaver: Umm you should probably put that down. It's making you insane. It makes dreams real. Logic doesn't work
He doesn't want to give it up but Darla takes it. He seems clearer but still annoyed
Spellweaver: Oh you saw THAT place (eye emoji). The End
Darla: what
Weexer is like WHY ARE THESE CONNECTED. Spellweaver is like oooh why would they be connected :)
Maybe people dream of the end of the world…?
Darla: wtf is that
The End! or Everything
Spellweaver: so how did you and Dr. Buzz meet :)
Dr. Buzz appears. He is stealing tea
They're not the same guy! Everyone thinks that.
He wants to know why the End is in the artifact. >:( For realzies. And so he will explain how him and Weezer came to work together
On April 11th last year, there was an Expo. All the big companies held a science expo at a University. One that dealt with Sciences and choices. ok
Whether things could or could not exist. Manifesting?? Conjuring?
They called it science, but they were - stealing? VatsCo had some demonstrations on quantum mechanics. AU business. Conjuring stuff from quantum flux
So that went wrong.
Steve Moon working towards his freshman chemical degree
He was trying to cure his asthma, so he went to the expo.
(Darla's like bro shuld I call you Steve)
Spellweaver wonders aloud how long Biohazard has been around. Hm, about a year!
HMMM
Anyway
Steve took the device and fired it and Dr. Buzz happened
Dr. Buzz is ambiguous on whether or not he's actually part of Weezer.
Spellweaver talk. Darla doesn't hate him anymore UGGGHHH he's frogboiling her. Dr. Buzz still doesn't trust him
Spellweaver: oh right the plot! Anyway my magic can conjure up a mindscape. What do you think happens to the mindscape when a person dies?
So the End can be seen through the artifact because all people die?
The End was used in his Menty B.
The artifact COULD let you walk freely between the End and here. Dr. Buzz might have an affinity for it
Dr. Buzz: Okay! Let's destroy it
Darla's like NO dude we're superheroes
Drake. Where's Spellweaver
Spellweaver: omg Chip hi. How long do you think you'll be able to feign interest in Chad's hobbies
Dr. Buzz disappears after going FINE but there'll be consequencesssss
Weezer is scared. Does Darla think it'll be okay?
She doesn't. But she's trying to make a team anyway. So, he won't be alone when it goes to shit.
They shake on it. Some kind of magic spark happens… WTF was that?? Some magic bullshit??
Anyway they're starting fresh now. Starting with getting Weezer out of that lab to play D&D

Scene 3: Paula & Chip###

Paula is looking for Chip!
Darla put you up to this again? Nuh-uh. Okay she is lol
Paula is getting frustrated. Chip thinks that's very telling!
Not only is this something Darla put you up to, it's something you don't want to do.
No, she wants to do it correctly. >:(
Various banterisms. Chat they are not getting along
LOOK she's sorry about the room thing. She was being a dick
So that's what this is about. Well if that's it you can go now
Paula:
Slowly stands up, nods, walks away
Chip: Hmmmm.
Waits until she's gone. Slow exhale. Crunches the exhale in his hand.
(Seems like they ended up making no real progress…)

Scene 4:

Darla and Weezer are making D&D characters and Paula walks in!
Telling them about the attempted apology.
That sounds like it went poorly! Various advices about it from Darla and Steven.
Steven likes talking to Chip because he's fun to talk to! They have a lot in common!
Talk about how to handle it going forward. Nothing to do but be nice…
They start talking about organizing a D&D campaign to foster teamwork. And also to play D&D.
Weezer goes over to Chip's room to ask if he wants to play! The girls follow, to eavesdrop.
