Interaction Booth
A featureless, almost unnerving room of red, with a slight elevation in the middle. Although it seems to just be something bizarre...it's possible there is more to this place.
Tarnish: Slam.
For some reason, Tarnish has entered this room. He seems to be sniffling...overdramatically, to say the least.
"Beings of another realm...! Come to me, for I must confess my truth to you! I feel like such beings would be fitting for such a cruel trick the shrimp has played on me, heed my call! Or I shall summon the power of the soul dew to anchor you in the pits of the realm!"
∴ : "yea whats up"
⤧ : "omg hi tarnish im your biggest fan"
◑ : ":3"
Tarnish: "Please, please...your praise is not deserving...for I am forced to admit my biggest secret to you all."
He shuffles around for a moment, holding the red paper he received in his hand. "I...I must admit..."
He sniffles once more. "Despite my role as Serpent City's greatest supervillain, I have...zero minions! I am a lone wolf, with no true following of his own! Oh, how shameful it is to admit it!"
☆ : "honestly that can still be very swag and cool"
∴ : "ouch. thats rough buddy. you need a hug or anything?"
Tarnish: "...Can it? Do you really think so?"
For a moment, his purple eyes seem to sparkle with a childlike wonder...but he quickly turns away. "No! No, I do not aspire for such things like 'affection' or pity! I was here to fulfill my dare to save my own life, and that is all I shall use this accursed room for!"
He makes a cool pose with his arm.
....Which causes a vine to, somehow, grow out of the ground. He freezes, as if not expecting that to happen.
The Destroyer: "Wow, this guy is dense!" The prawn thing is back.
"Did you not read your card earlier? I made sure those cards stuck in your memory like glue!"
Tarnish: "...It was called 'The Vines'. That was the name of my card. Did that thing grant me the ability to summon such intense power?"
The Destroyer: "Ding-Ding-Ding! Winner. winner. Genji's dinner! You figured out what your card does! You can summon vines all you wish, but good luck controlling them~!"
And just like that...he's gone again.
Tarnish: "...Hah...ahah..."
He erupts into heinous laughter, throwing his arms up into the air as vines begin to entangle the interaction booth. "AHAHAAHAAAAAAHHH!! FINALLY, I HAVE UNLOCKED SOME TRUE POWER! QUIVER IN FEAR BEFORE MY MIGHT, DEITIES! FOR I-"
The ever-growing vines begin to entangle their summoner, wrapping around him widly.
"Wh- Uh- Hey! Get off of me, plants! I am your master, and you must obey me!"
He starts struggling wildly...iiiit's not working. Eventually, he gives up, just kind of lying in mid-air while vines suspend him.
Tarnish: "...Huh. This is much more comfortable then I thought it would be."

☆ : "you got this i believe in you"
Θ : "have fun getting untangled there bud :3"
∴ : "i mean i would help but being in the form of a disembodied voice means. well."
Θ : "we can't exactly provide much in terms of physical help. but i can offer entertainment!"
Tarnish: "Wh...What kind of entertainment would a god offer to the lord of darkness? I have high standards."
☍ : "You like dogs?"
∴ : "uhh hang on just- PAW PATROL??? AGAIN???"
☆ : "guys can i drop some entertainment"
☆ : "i got a different dog"
∴ : "at least send nintendogs or something-"
Θ : "JK GET LOW QUALITY WEEZERED NEEEERD"
☆ : ""
⤧ : "giving tarnish my copy of alpha sapphire"
∴ : "also sorry for the riff that im about to beam into your head friend want- oh nevermind i guess"
Θ : "⤧ what the hell do you mean giving tarnish your copy of alpha sapphire, does he even have anything to play it on???"
☍ : "The Playstation 5"
Tarnish: In the world's worst move ever, you accidentally beam two videos into Tarnish's head at once, causing him to writhe. "AAAUUUUGH!" He yells, his brain overloaded with way too much intel at once.
⤧ : "giving tarnish my unhacked 3ds so he can hack it himself"
Θ : "the. the playstation five. alpha sapphire, a nintendo 3ds game, on a sony playstation five."
☍ : "That's right"
Θ : "on a different note - i think we broke him?"
Hitori: "Hihiii!" Oh god, someone else is here. "I saw your plea for help and--- a?"
...What the hell are they looking at? There are vines everywhere.
Θ : "yeah he kinda just stood there like an idiot after getting his vines explained to him and then rose a few more and then got really tangled"
Θ : "not to be confused with the since-deprecated content platform, Vine"
∴ : "he's also probably a little overwhelmed right now, we beamed two ideas in his head at the same time, sorry"
Θ : "yeahhhh that was our bad"
Hitori: "...Content platform? You say words. I don't know those words."
They begin running around and trying to whack the vines down with their tail...with mixed success.
Θ : "uhhhhh long story short place where you put videos for people to watch"
Hitori: "Wow! I think that makes sense." They reply, now trying to bite the vines off. God, they look like a cat climbing a scratching pole with reckless violence.
Ivan: Knock knock. Creaak.
"Heyyy, I heard some commotion back here and- Huh!?"
He's entered the room as well, with Lotus behind him. "Wow! You're lucky someone found you in time, cloak-man! I've seen enough protahub to know where this is going!"
Lotus: "Wh- Don't say that! We need to get him down!"
Θ : "WAAIIIT HEY HOLD ON THERE"
∴ : "hm."
☍ : "They named the porn site after the species?"
Θ : "that was a very sudden turn in rating-"
Ivan: "Ask the people who made the damn site, not me. Anyways, vine busting time is a go!"
Ivan: He begins slashing at the vines with his talons-- which seems much more effective then whatever Hitori is doing.
Θ : ".... maybe we need more people with sharp things"
Tarnish: Eventually, the vines are sliced enough that Tarnish is able to find his way back to the floor, free from his bindings. He slowly gets back to his feet, acting as if nothing happened. "Impressive work! Perhaps you could serve my legion well if you were to join me..."
Ivan: "Welll look at that, Lolo! Looks like your boyfriend has use for these claws after all!" Wink.
Lotus: "U-Uuh...great, d-dear. That's...great."
Tarnish: "...Eh?"
Θ : ":3"
Ivan: "Oh, Tarniiish~...you're not homophobic, are you?"
☍ : "It's not that, I think. It'd be funny but it's not that. I think."
Tarnish: "What a ridiculous claim, being of the realm of air! I, like the one who came before me, enjoy men as much as you appear to!"
Ivan: "Cool!"
He immediately skips out of the room.
"Now byeee!"
Lotus: "W-Wait a second-"
And there Lotus goes right after him.
Hitori: "...Huh. That was crazy, wasn't it? I didn't think people could get so close so easily."
☍ : "It's amazing, huh? Two lovebirds, inseparable not even a day into this whole ordeal! Let's just hope they can figure out the whole whale thing between them two."
Θ : "they've been... busy :3"
Tarnish: "Hmm, but that bird wore the gloves of a trickster...perhaps there is more to that than he or these crafty deities are trying to say."
Tarnish: He shakes his head. "Nevermind that! Come, Hitori! Together, perhaps you can help me control my newfound abilities of nature!"
Hitori: "I can?"
They wag their tail. "I can!"
Tarnish: And with a laugh, Tarnish parades himself out of the room.
Hitori: Hitori turns to trail behind Tarnish...but they stop for a second, turning around and gently closing the door for a moment.
Hitori: "...Hey, deities...if that's what you really are. Can I ask you a question?"
Θ : "yo"
☍ : "Yeah, shoot."
Hitori: Hesitantly...they point towards their face.
"Why am I...like, this? I don't remember why I look like this. It's like I'm not in my own body, you know? Do you know any reason why?"
☍ : "Fate has its own mysterious ways, y'know. I doubt that's our place to intervene, but... I'm sure it'll be something you can figure out eventually. These things usually are like that."
☍ : "That's just a convoluted way of saying: no, not really. But good luck, yeah?"
Θ : "i uhh,,, wouldn't be able to tell you if i'm being honest. we don't really know you in-depth so.. sorry bud :/"
"best i can offer is its got something to do with the prawn. maybe another deity has an answer, idk"
Hitori: They seem...disappointed. Their tail flops to the ground, downtrodden.
"Oh...okay."
And after a moment of sadness, they seem to perk up again. "Thanks though! I'm sure I'll figure it out! I'm a little quirky, but I got spirit!"
And without a moment to waste, they scurry off to go help Tarnish.
...The vines slowly wither and vanish.
☍ : "...are those vines something we should be worried about?"
∴ : "probably, but its not like we can do much about them"
☍ : "Mmm. Well, time to get gift-crafting again. They're gonna love this next one."

MX-Z0: Stranger, could you meet me in my room?
Stranger: I would, but I'm trying to get some shut-eye. I don't like staying up past 11
MX-Z0: That is understandable. Tomorrow, then.
