I'm bored, you guys. No one has yet asked for anything.

Jericho: Well, perhaps you could help me with my experiments?

Clef: She ain't becoming no damn zombie for you, 049.

Bright: Yeah to be honest, she's enough of a cranky zombie first thing in the morning. *shudders*

What was that!?

Bright: Nothing, nothing! You're very beautiful!

What's my being beautiful got anything to do with what you just said?

Bright: Uhhh....*whispers* Clef, buddy, help me out!

Clef: Oh no. You got yourself into that pot of boiling water. I'm not helping you.

Bright: Please!? I'll do anything!

Clef: Anything, huh?

Bright: Yes!

Clef: OK. Stop replacing my shotgun bullets with your stupid foam Nerf pellet things! In fact, stop pranking me altogether!

Bright: OK! Geez! Have some fun, will ya?

Clef: I will when you stop messing with my belongings!

OK, guess that's a hot-button issue right there. I'm just going to help Dr. Jericho with his studies.

Clef: No! Don't!

Why? He's not going to hurt me. I trust him.

Clef: That man is not a doctor! He's a monster!

Oh shush. He's still more mature than anyone else I've ever met. Besides, I think he knows what he's doing. He just wants to help people. So before you say he or anyone else is a monster, why don't you think long and hard what a monster actually is?

Clef: But-!

But nothing! *I slam Jericho's office door in Clef's face*

Bright: Hate to break it to you buddy, but she's got a good point.

Clef: Stop calling me that. OK? I'm not your buddy, or your friend, or pal, chum, or any other word for friend. Get away from me. Now.

Bright: Ah come on. We're friends.

Clef: No we aren't. Why don't you make like 049-J and disappear?

Bright: *tugs nervously at his collar* Uh, about that. Cynder told me he's going to be in the next chapter.

Clef: WHAT!?

Bright: Yeah.....

Clef: *bangs on the office door* Cynder!!!!

*I open the door, wearing a cute apron* What?

Clef: Are you OK?

I'm fine. I was just making Dr. Jericho some tea and cookies. And helping him clean his office. What's up?

Clef: I thought you were helping him with experiments?

I was. But with cooking. And he was helping me. I don't cook a lot. And I burnt myself. *my hand is bandaged* What's up?

Clef: Is it true that SCP-049-J is going to be in the next chapter?

Yeah. How'd you find out?

Clef: Bright told me.

I told him to keep that a secret until the next chapter! *I hear Jericho calling for me* Sorry. Gotta go. Dr. Jericho needs my help with something. Coming! *I run back in the office* And readers, remember, read and vote and ask for anything you want! Bye! 👋
