The Fount of Knowledge gets worried for the mildly injured. He has too look for injuries over a hundred times unless pulled away. Currently, the Fount is looking for injuries on Ad-Lib Milk Cookie. For the ten hundredth time it feels like.
"Dear, are you sure you aren't injured? You fell from the sky, so you might have a broken bone!" The Moth put his hand on the Mantis' cheek, "Oh dear, you're warm! Do you need something cold? Maybe iced coffee? Or- Or maybe a popsicle?"
Ad-Lib Milk's cheeks turn a rosey color... He's just.. So close to her... "Ah- Oh my.."
Creak...
The Moth looked at the door, looking worried, "Oh, my Butterfly! My Bat! Our dear guest is turning red!"
Ad-Lib didn't pay attention to what the three were saying, honestly. She did hear some giggles though.
Ad-Lib Milk managed to get away from the Moth after the Butterfly, 'the Sage of Truth', managed to get him to go to sleep.
Now, the Bat, 'Shadow Milk', is yapping about something to her. They won't go away because they "can't let her cause trouble or else Founty will beat (their) ass."
"Are you listening??"
Ad-Lib Milk snapped out of it before looking at Shadow Milk.
"Uh.. Yeah. I am."
"Then what was I saying?"
"Uh..."
"Mhm... Exactly!"
Ad-Lib just crosses her arms and looks away, not liking that she was called out. But, she can hear soft breathing next to her ear.
"Perhaps I need to repeat it... Closer, so you can hear..."
She immediately flinches away, her cheeks a rose color. "Hey- Back off of the merchandise, pal!" Shamimi just crackles.
"Aww, how cute~" The Bat puts their chin on the Mantis' head, their hands on her shoulders, "You remind me of Founty when we first met!"
"Wha- Hey! Get off-"
Shadow Milk pushes themselves off of Ad-Lib Milk before dashing off, still laughing... This guy is seriously annoying... But... It's kind of... Cute? In a way...?
Ad-Lib Milk Cookie comes across a kitchen and dining room.. Finally, she can rest for ONCE since she got here...
Ad-Lib walks over to one of the (levitating) 3 chairs at the (levitating) table.. She puts her head in her hands, breathing a sigh of relief.
After a few seconds of resting, she looks through her fingers only to see the Sage of Truth, on the table, resting on her stomach as their legs kick behind them.
"AH!" The Mantis jumped back as the chair she's on continues to levitate, tilting backwards slightly, as her cheeks flush, "WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU EVEN COME FROM??"
"What do you mean, silly? I was here the whole time!" The Butterfly responded as she scooted back to sit on the chair across from Ad-Lib.
"No, you were not!"
"Now, now, silly! Let's just chat!"
The Actor groans. She can't escape any of these cookies.
"Okay then. Let's 'chat'.. First, how did I even get here?"
"Probably timeline jumping! Happened to me and my Bat!"
"And... You're 'Bat' is...?"
"Shadow Milk Cookie, of course!"
Ad-Lib Milk sighs, pinches the bridge of her nose, "Right... And... What about the other one?"
"My Moth? This is his timeline!"
"Okay.. And why are you here?"
"Oh, my timeline was on the brink of collapsing when I fell out of a portal that appeared underneath me!" The Sage grabs a jelly from the basket on the table that the Actor SWEARS wasn't there before, "Then, my Moth found me in his living room and now I live here!"
"What-" Ad-Lib stuttered in shock, "And you're just.. OKAY that your timeline is gone?? 𝘈𝘭𝘴𝘰, 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘦𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴𝘯'𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 -"
"Well, I was sad, but it happened YEARS ago! So it's fine!" She says as they chew on the jelly. Where is their manners?? They look like someone who has manners, but she has none! Though... It does seem a... Bit cute...
Ad-Lib Milk puts her head in her hands again, groaning. "And... What about Shadow Milk Cookie?"
"Oh, Shadow Milk Cookie was messing around with timelines for fun when they accidentally appeared here and couldn't get back home! Fount through a pillow at them when we first met them, haha!"
"Okay... And I just appeared here without any explanation... Great..." Ad-Lib puts her head on the table before the Sage leans in to poke her crown for the hundredth time...
"SAGE! SAGE!"
And, the Moth is back..
The Fount of Knowledge bursts into the room as Ad-Lib Milk flinches up from the table, "I WOKE UP AND I CAN'T FIND AD-LIB MILK COOKIE ANYWHer-... Oh... Y.. You're right there..."
Ad-Lib Milk groans as the Sage of Truth cracks up from the Fount's and Ad-Lib's actions...
This is really gonna be a long... However long she'll be stuck here...
