*cheeks reddening a bit under the cover of his bucket...!* pancakes would be easiest to share if anyone else happens by, and the stacks are sure to be filling. i don't doubt your magic touch will drag everyone back in for seconds. thank you, matt.

of course. what are you in the mood for? [curling a lithe hand under that scruffy chin of doom's.] pancakes? biscuits and gravy? an omelet?

would you like to join us? matt offered to cook!!

. . . wait did i hear breakfast ? i want breakfast 👀

that would be delicious, if you wouldn't mind. i hadn't thought of it until you brought it up.

☆.｡.:* ᴅᴜꜱᴇᴋᴋᴀʀ .@spawnprotection.bsky.social · 4mo ago

you can simply ask me to make you something. worst i can do is say no.

ah, my apologies. i'm not sure what came over me. ...it did just dawn on me that i haven't had breakfast yet.

*staring at @spawnprotection.bsky.social more intently than usual. expression unreadable.*

i was looking forward to game night tonight too :[

dude that’s fucked up someone stole our monopoly board

i do wish i was back at headquarters to celebrate...the inmates have been making certain remarks to try and distract me "in honor of the season." as if this tactic hasn't been done to death since the beginning of time.

doom hates me .

bnwouuuughhhhhhhh

...does anyone else smell that?

fiddlesticks....i'm late to reading hour. = =;;;

and just why are 𝘺𝘰𝘶 hanging around HQ? do tell.

nope

has anyone seen my mug?? i seem to have misplaced it... ;;

perhaps. were you in a rush? usually you don't get that level of ruffled feathers from just normal movement... *offering his arm once he realized what clockwork was moving closer to do. his fur wasn't messy by any means, just not necessarily neat...time to comb through it all was rare. +

─ 𝐂𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐊𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐊 ;; 🫖@teapotsofdoom.bsky.social · 7mo ago

+ tangles here and there , but overall it seems you've maintained your softness . [ after that , letting out a chuckle of endearment ! he really couldn't help it . . . he was , as the chuckle suggested , endeared ! ]

i wonder what it could've been? surely nothing so small could have phased the great clockwork... *giving him a tusked grin that soon turned sheepish. scratching the back of his neck...* well...i just don't have as much time to dedicate to how i look outside of the absolute essentials. +

─ 𝐂𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐊𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐊 ;; 🫖@teapotsofdoom.bsky.social · 7mo ago

+ to me , even now , your fur is still as dazzling as ever .

as long as you're out of harm's way, it's quite alright. my fur isn't exactly in the best condition either these days...perhaps we could freshen up together?

─ 𝐂𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐊𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐊 ;; 🫖@teapotsofdoom.bsky.social · 7mo ago

[ confused by what he meant until clockwork felt through his own feathers . . . gasp ! panicking to try and preen them again . ] i don't understand what happened . . . ! i had them preened carefully just this morning ! [ very embarrassed . . . what a horrible way to present ! ! ]

*picking up the tube. inhaling a large amount of air. launching them out of the thing like they were a spitball.*

help ...

do you need assistance?? you appear to be stuck.

━✦❘ 𝚂𝙲𝚁𝙸𝙿𝚃𝙴𝚁 ❘✦━@scripterr.bsky.social · 7mo ago

i'm well aware. *slumping a bit...had his job really been taking that much of a toll on him? he had barely paid attention to his constellations, but he certainly didn't want them to fade.* that's quite a pity...i never noticed. there has to be some way to get them sparkling once more.

━✦❘ 𝚂𝙲𝚁𝙸𝙿𝚃𝙴𝚁 ❘✦━@scripterr.bsky.social · 7mo ago

[blinking in surprise!] oops... sorry. but it really has! you used to be so bright, but now i can hardly see any of your sparkles! and trust me, i have a good eye for sparkles!!

your feathers....usually they're beautifully preened. did something happen to muss them up? *it was always cute to see how his wings fluttered at just the sight of the guardian...it also quelled his worries a bit. he only wanted to make sure the man was okay.*

─ 𝐂𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐊𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐊 ;; 🫖@teapotsofdoom.bsky.social · 7mo ago

[ turning over to face the familiar voice . wings doing a little flutter -- just overall making the ruffled-ness of his feathers worse . ] hm ? yes , i'm quite alright . why ? is there something the matter , doom ?

*gently placing his hand on their head and pushing them away. a good distance...* i said you may /look/. my sparkle hasn't dulled that much over the years, has it? ;;;

━✦❘ 𝚂𝙲𝚁𝙸𝙿𝚃𝙴𝚁 ❘✦━@scripterr.bsky.social · 7mo ago

[just faceplanting himself into doom's fluffy tummy. trying to get him to sparkle-] i can't see as well as i could before, but i sure can feel the warmth of it all...!

*noticing...usully he was more kempt. stopping him before he could pass by.* clockwork? are you alright?

─ 𝐂𝐋𝐎𝐂𝐊𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐊 ;; 🫖@teapotsofdoom.bsky.social · 7mo ago

[ for whatever reason , his feathers are rather ruffled today ! he doesn't seem to notice , though . ]

ah...i don't really pay much mind to the shine of my stars. i often don't have time to... i have a free moment now, however. you may see for yourself.

━✦❘ 𝚂𝙲𝚁𝙸𝙿𝚃𝙴𝚁 ❘✦━@scripterr.bsky.social · 7mo ago

i just remembered when we used to work together and you had the prettiest stars in your pelt. do you still have those?

oh? what was on your mind?

━✦❘ 𝚂𝙲𝚁𝙸𝙿𝚃𝙴𝚁 ❘✦━@scripterr.bsky.social · 7mo ago

hi mister doom!!! i was thinking about you!!
