First asks from ausforyou ! xP

*The camera pans to the inside of Grian's base. Mumbo is sitting on a bed, with Grian just talking nearby, pacing. Mumbo looks over to the camera, and reads the ask.*

M: O-oh! Hey... Uh, I don't remember... too much, but... The last thing I remember was Cub and Scar asking me about that journal... But, people filled me in about what happened while I was... out, I guess.

*His eyes flicker away from the camera for a second.*

M: And honestly, it's something I'm ashamed to think about. And now, he's back... so... I think I'll just stay as far away from any sightings or suspicious activity I can, just in case of... you know...

*Mumbo looks down and fidgets with his hands. Grian seems to notice his discomfort. He sits next to Mumbo, and places a hand on his shoulder. His face is cold. You never see Grian like this. It's... kind of threatening. The camera then pans again.*

Iskall: Oh, hey!

*Stress just waves*

*They read the ask.*

Stress: Well, me and Iskall are just baking cupcakes! It does help cheer me up! Though I have to fight Iskall from the batter every five seconds, silly fing!

*As if to prove her point, Iskall is sneaking some batter as she speaks. Stress doesn't even turn around*

Stress: He's doing it right now, isn't he?

*Stress turns around*

Stress: Iskall! Don't eat that!

*Stress softly slaps Iskall's hand away from the bowl, getting a loud chuckle. Stress turns back to you*

Stress; Yes, I am having fun, even after that 'ole Iren situation. Again. Sorry, I have to stop this one from eating the whole bowl before we even go to ice the cakes! Bye!

*she turns around, shooing Iskall away from the bowl again, she fakes being cross, but she's smiling*

Impulse: *Snoring*

*Impulse has Zed and Tango cuddled into him, with Tango's arm reaching over Impulse to Zed. They're all asleep right now, but you can tell they are all very happy about it. You decide to let them sleep*

TFC: *Looks over at you* Oh, hey, kiddo. Thanks for askin'. Sadly, no, just a bunch of coal, and I got plenty of that.

*he looks back at the stone wall he was previously mining*

TFC: Just gotta have a little faith, is all! Just don't give up, keep going, but don't push yourself too hard, yknow? Cause, say you strain your pickaxe, you gotta take a break to mend it. If you work it too hard, it's gonna just shatter, and you ain't getting it back. You can replace it but, it ain't the same.

*TFC blinks, realising he got very philosophical*

TFC: That also applies to the human spirit. Don't work yourself too hard, take breaks to fix yer mental state, cause if you don't take breaks, you're just gonna drive yourself insane or somethin. Had a friend do it once, wasn't pretty, he was broken for days and I hated seeing that.

*TFC takes another swing at the block, and a glint of blue hits his eye. He grins*

TFC: Jackpot. Alright, kiddo, I gotta carry on digging, you take care of yourself now, ya hear?

*TFC grins, and turns back to the precious block in front of him.*

*Iren is visibly frustrated. Probably from failing to take over the server. Again.*

Iren: Wha- You... You can see... me... Whatever, I don't have time for this.

*He turns around, but a glare from the author stops him.*

Iren: Fine! I'm doing about as well as one can do when you're trapped as a spirit between realms, dead but alive as well. And, well, why wouldn't I be upset! I just failed to get revenge on the one person who's caused me harm!

*He sighs.*

Iren: There were more people but, they're probably long dead now. And I hope they are. They ripped me away from him. They wanted a monster, so a monster they got! And I'm PROUD!

*He grins, before it falters slightly.*

Iren: Hm. Just give me that last ask and let me leave.

Iren: Oh my god, yes I'm salty who wouldn't be- ...Who is EX? And what is shipping?

(If you haven't noticed, Iren is a bit of a boomer... Also, he has no clue who EX is- but I... honestly I'm not sure if EX and Iren could be a thing, maybe? Idk, I forgot how old Iren and EX were canonically-)

*Iren just stares at the camera.*

Iren: Whatever. Just leave me alone. Of course the only company I get is stupid kids.

*He turns on his heel and walks away, grumbling to himself. The camera fades to black.*
