The Kitchen

It's an entire kitchen, filled to the brim with food and supplies...it is, of course, also very blue.

Clober: "Hm hm hmm~"

Clober was rummaging through the kitchen, humming to herself. She was entirely oblivious to Seven Stones walking in behind her.

Seven Stones: ...But he paused at the entrance. It was Clober.

It was Clober. It was...

"...What the hell are you doing?"

Clober: "Huh?"

She turns around, tail whipping back and forth like a metronome. "Oh, it's you! I thought you went to go rot in your room forever, but I guess not!"

Seven Stones: ...He furrows his brow. "Don't remind me."

Trying to ignore her, he went over to the cupboard to grab a granola bar...but she just kept talking.

Clober: "You know, I never really thought someone would get THAT angry at my little prank...it was funny! At least to me! It was just some cop's dumb big dog."

Seven Stones: "...Gust was not some dumb big dog. Gust was the same as any of us."

His hands grew shaky as he tried to find his beloved granola bar.

Clober: She huffed. "Guess you're no fun either. I'm never allowed to be myself around you dummies."

Seven Stones: "Well maybe that's because you're an asshole."

He didn't think when he spoke. He just...did. He unwrapped his bar, and took a chomp. The leaves on his neck looked to spread and puff out in delight.

Clober: "...An asshole?"

She twitched. "An asshole!? I'm an asshole for being right!?"

Seven Stones: He let out a groan of annoyance, snapping at her as he stepped away from the counters.

"You aren't right about shit! Nothing about what you did was funny at all, for fucks sake. Do you WANT me to whack it into your skull? You're an asshole."

Clober: "Am not!"

Seven Stones: "Is that all!? Are you literally, actually twelve!?"

Hitori: "...What's going on in here?"

They were standing near the entrance, an unsure look on their unperceivable face.

Clober: "Oh! Hitori! I'm not an asshole, yeah? Mister meany-stone-pants thinks I am!"

Hitori: "...Uhm," They stutter. "...W-Well...I don't want to lie to you, Clober...but you're not the nicest guy."

Clober: "Both of you!?" She yelps. "God, you all really are no different! I bet you want miss cutesy-Clober back so badly, huh!? Huuuh!?"

Hitori: "W-Wait- That's not what I-!"

Clober: "Ugh, I'm going back to my TV room."

She paces off, not allowing Hitori to finish speaking.

Hitori: ...Sigh.

They turn to face Seven Stones, who is still eating his granola with an only slightly peeved expression.

Seven Stones: "Not sure what to do about that. But then again, I don't think I could've forgiven her either way..."

Hitori: They wore a wobbly frown on them, but tried to shake it off...literally, rattling themselves a bit, they remembered something.

"...Oh! Right! Seven Stones, I have something for you."

They pull out the stone they have...right out of their censor bar. Holding it out for Seven Stones to see, they explain.

"The deities from the booth made it for you...as a way to say sorry, you know? They hope you like it..."

Seven Stones: ...He stares at it.

Focusing, he picks it up with his levitation powers, spinning it around in the air...

...but then he puts it back down in Hitori's hands.

"...Like this would be enough to undo what they let happen."

He mumbles to himself as he walks off...leaving Hitori alone.

Hitori: ....They stare at the stone.

...And tear up a little. "B-But...I thought you...would..."

They knew that they were speaking to deaf ears, but...man.
