[It's a gloomy day according to the video taken from the base island but Jake seems happy.]

Um, salutations fellow crew members!

This week has been... well, frankly it's sucked giggleberries! But I've been working on my powers and, uh, I won't bore you with the details of that? Unless you really want them. Anyhoo! C'mere you rascal...

[A little... bull fairy thing flies into view. Jake pets it and it seems pretty happy with that? So it must be nice.]

You should come play with them. They're awful sweet. And maybe it might turn some frowns upside down! It's worth a try, isn't it?

[He's still so awkward at ending these though so he just kind of waves at the end.]


[Action;]

[Meanwhile Jake really is hanging out with some tinkerbulls. Specifically five of them. Despite looking exhausted, he's in high spirits for once and seems to be enjoying the affection from the critters.]

I wouldn't mind the details!

Though, I think this week has been pretty good! Is there a reason why it's been bad for you?

[Someone missed the whole thing about death ship.]

[potentite]

Maybe part of the problem comes from a certain someone's overreaction?

action; TAKE A BREAK (i am on my way)

[Dirk pops up of course because hey.]

I can't believe it. The fairybulls in the non-bullet-ridden flesh. Impressive work, English.

[potentite]

[He smiles.]

I'm glad you get to meet them. Aren't they cute?

... What on earth are giggleberries and what exactly is that thing you're playing with?

[ She's exhausted. ]

[potentite]

[Poor girl.]

Hey again, miss! Giggleberries are, um, well... is that really a topic for a young lady? But more importantly, this is a fairy!

[Clearly a fairy.]

Omigosh.

[ What else can she say? She's so, so very proud of him, her pride is bursting from the seams. She's glowing with it, man. This is her friend, you guys... her friend who can do amazing things with his abilities!!! ]

[potentite]

[He's blushing now gosh!!]

Now hold your horses! They're only here as long as I believe in them. I think they'll stay? Uh, I mean, I know they will, just...

[He's trying not to let his belief falter but he doesn't want her thinking he's too amazing!]

[parodeity]

Do they eat shit? Or like are they just imaginary manifestations that do not eat shit. Do imaginary manifestations eat shit?

[ what is the point of playing with tinkerbulls if you can't give them treats??? so he has to know for when he tracks jake down???

dave completely ignores the rest of the post about it being a Bad Week because yeah it doesn't need to be Addressed ]

[potentite]

[He beams.]

They can eat! They're more or less real. Just sort of... not. At the same time? They're real while I believe in them.

[classicmode]

By 'play' does that mean they can play video games too?

[ Nanami Chiaki, asking the real questions. ]

[potentite]

Hmm, I don't think so. You need thumbs for that right? They've got little hooves.

[ do you know who approves of this offer?

roderic's dog and cats, that's who. daisy and the rapidly growing kittens are immediately piling up on lap of their disapproving owner, who needs to speak loudly over their happy ruckus of barks and meows and purrs. ]

-I guess they want to take up that offer and play with your friend there.

[potentite]

[He can't help laughing. They look so happy...]

Well, can they come on up? Daisy there might spook them a little but they're real friendly, I think they'll get over it fast.

[Milla's the most interested in one thing in this network message]

What are giggleberries? Do they taste sweet, or sour? Or perhaps a combination of both?

[potentite]

[why doesn't he ever think for a second his words might be misleading.]

W-Well! I don't think it's a proper discussion topic, to, uh, talk about their taste...

[checkoutmyttk]

Hey, you did it! It's not inside-out or anything, way to go dude!

[potentite]

[He's especially proud to show these to Kon.]

Do you like them? It took me a while to get it right and they kept fading in and out.

[Oh no Hinata doesn't know what these weird fairy-creatures are but they've made Jake happy and they haven't gotten to talk since the Komaeda Incident, so eventually, Hinata's going to make his way over to wherever Jake is playing with the tinkerbulls. And just kind of pause with his hands in his pockets because what does one do with a tinkerbull, anyway?? Does... does he pet them...??]

This is really cool, Jake... how did you do it?

[potentite]

[With a new person around, a tinkerbull gets curious and flies over, nuzzling at his hair. They're very affectionate.]

The power of depression? [He laughs it off though.] Honestly, I was sad I couldn't think of anything to cheer up people... But channeling that made it easier to bring hope out, I guess.

[ Sanson is seated at the medbay with a notebook in hand; most likely for taking notes. But on what? ]

What are these?

[potentite]

They're fairies! See the wings?

[Clearly fairy wings.]

[imsorey]

[He won't say no to checking out some cute new little creatures, so after a while his curiosity gets the better of him and he makes his way up to the island to take Jake up on his offer.]

Where'd you find those little guys?

[potentite]

[A fairy is happy to flutter around Sorey, looking for attention.]

They're fairies from my island! They're affectionate little critters. They used to swarm me for nuzzling.

[redriot]

[ Man, that little guy is pretty cute. ]

How many of those, uh, cow things are there?

[potentite]

There's five! Is that enough? I didn't want them feeling lonely.
