(Ye, Ah shit I only have 5 minutes left on my phone, so I’ll stop replying after a while for today)

(Aww, okay.)

(I’m getting the app and tricking my mom into always allowing it)

(I applaud your guile and trickery.)

(I don’t know what guile means but you made me laugh so it’s fine)

(It basically means you have sly and cunning intellect.)

(Yes I do *taps head* intellec)

(Yes indeed)

(Today I stubbed my toe and burned my shoulders)

(You poor thing...)

(But on ther other note)

(Heheh.)

(Ight!)
Ein: Soooo I

Vex: "...if you're going to keep dragging out your answer like this I'm going to assume it's no."

Ein: No no no I do like you
imgflip.com/i/5m27si

Vex: "...you do?"
*Vex blushes.*

Ein: Yeah

Vex: "...oh, Ein..."

*Vex wraps Ein in a hug and kisses him.*

Ein: Ehe

Vex: "...that was too forward, wasn't it? Sorry..."

Ein: Yeah
(I think you’d be great role playing on this page: imgflip.com/i/5m27si)

Vex: "Heheheh..."

Ein: It’s fine

*Vex nods.*

Vex: "...so you would you like to go out with me some time?"

Ein: Sure

*Vex smiles.*

Vex: "Great."

Eim: Yeah

Vex: "...I have no idea what happens now."

Bubblegum: Hi

Vex: "Hi, Bubblegum!"

Bubblegum: I’ve been summoned

Vex: "...hm."

Bubblegum: And I guess you know why

Vex: "All I said was that I have no idea what comes next."

Bubblegum: Well I-
Zena: *comes and drags Bubblegum away*

Vex: "...Okay then."

Ein: That was strange

Vex: "...yeah..."

Ein: Haha

Vex: "But then again, everything with those two is strange."

*The intercom suddenly crackles on.*

Intercom: "Would Bubblegum, Novas, Zena, Fenris, Kifu, Rosario, and Myst please report to the CEO's office? All of you have been given temporary executive access."

*you see Bubblegum tug herself out of Zena’s grip and run to get there*

*Bubblegum and Zena appear to be the only people not on the elevator yet. Dang, everyone else is fast.*

Bubblegum: *on the elevator*

Novas: "...this elevator is cramped."

Myst: "No duh, this is the only elevator to the 20th floor."

Bubblegum: What’s cramped?

*The elevator slowly reaches the top floor. It opens to an office-penthouse combo. Someone sits at the CEO's desk, but their chair is facing the other way.*

Bubblegum: Hmm?

*Myst motions for Bubblegum to be quiet. Everyone slowly files out of the elevator.*

???: "...is everyone here?"

Bubblegum:

???: "...well, I'm just going to assume you're all here, so..."

*The person spins around. She grins.*

???: "For those of you that have never met me, hello there. I'm Ashley Belladonna, the CEO of DemiCorp Industries."

Bubblegum: And why are we here

Ashley: "Because you're all getting rewarded for your exemplary service to the company."

Bubblegum: Ok

Ashley: "Now, you can all either get promotions or free stuff. Your choice."

Bubblegum: But I don’t work here

Ashley: "...I thought you got hired as Lunara's assistant."

Bubblegum: Ih yeah I’d forgotten

Ashley: "Anyhow, you want a promotion or some free stuff?"

Bubblegum: Idk

Ashley: "I'll give you time to decide."

Bubblegum: *nods*
Zena: *seems to appear out of nowhere because she wasn’t there before*

Ashley: "Ah, Zena, there you are. Bubblegum, could you explain the situation to her?"

Zena: Sorry I’m late
Bubblegum: *explains*

*Ashley starts talking with the other people. Fenris is forced to take free stuff as he cannot be promoted any further. Novas picks free stuff, because he doesn't want a promotion.*

(Does Zena have a job? I’ve forgotten it’s been so long)

(No idea.)

(Give her a random one)

(Uhh... advanced research and design team.)

Zena: I’ll take a prompt

Ashley: "Okay! You are now HEAD of the advanced research and design team."

Bubblegum: free stuff

Ashley: "Anything specific? Money, furniture, technology..."

*promotion*

Bubblegum: Not really

Ashley: "Okay. A bit of everything, then. I'll have it sent to your house."

Bubblegum: Ok

*Ashley smiles.*

Bubblegum: Does that mean I can go now?

*Ashley nods.*

Bubblegum: *disappears*
Zena: Sometimes I swear that girl is magic

Ashley: "She is."

Zena: Wait what

*Ashley giggles.*

Ashley: "You'll understand someday."

Zena: Well now I know why

Novas: "...the CEO is a bit strange."

Zena: Ok

Novas: "...let's go."

Zena: Mhm

*Novas steps into the elevator.*

Zena: *follows*

*The elevator slowly descends.*

Novas: "So... about the wedding."

Zena: Yeah

Novas: "Are we going to do something small or go all-out?"

Novas: "...I get the strangest feeling Bubblegum is about to go insane about this."

Bubblegum: Hello it appears I have been summoned

Novas: "Hello, Bubblegum."

Bubblegum: Hi
Zena: As I’ve said before, magic

Novas: "Why does talking about the wedding summon you?"

Bubblegum: None of your buissiness

Novas: "It's my wedding so it's all of my business."

Bubblegum: … I made you meet

Novas: "Technically Zena made us meet since she kicked you out."

Novas: "I win."

Bubblegum: Fine *disappears*
Zena: Like a cat, she can teleport

Novas: "...yeah..."

Zena: Magic

Novas: "It's not surprising that she can teleport."

Zena: Because she’s half cat?

Novas: "No, because... never mind."

Zena: Nobody tells me anything

Novas: "They tell me not to tell you."

Zena: Why do you think she only shows one eye

Novas: "Because the other eye is a different color."

Zena: I was expecting that

Novas: "Blame the scientists."

Zena: Oh ok

Novas: "It's always the scientists' fault, after all."

Zena: Ok

Novas: "...but anyhow. Back to what were discussing BEFORE Bubblegum showed up."

Zena: I don’t know

Novas: "...alright then. I guess we'll decide later, then."

Zena: Yes

*Novas nods.*

*The elevator doors open.*

Novas: "This is my floor. I'll see you later, okay?"

Zena: Okay

*Novas steps off the elevator.*

Zena: See you later

Novas: "Seeya."

*three hours later*

*We have once again reached the late shifts and the beginning of the night shifts. Most people have gone home. Some of the more nocturnal superhumans, who are rarely seen, are out and about.*

Bubblegum: Hmm

*Three of the nocturnal superhumans are arguing in the lobby. One has bat wings, one appears to be part spider, and the other looks goth.*

Bubblegum: What

*The goth one turns and notices Bubblegum.*

???: "...who are you? I've never seen you before..."

Bubblegum: Who’re you

???: "I'm Mona, the spider boy is Ven, and the bat girl is Casey."

Bubblegum: Bubblegum

Mona: "Nice to meet you. Sorry if we're a bit loud."

Bubblegum: It’s fien

Mona: "...I assume you're wondering why we're yelling?"

Bubblegum: Yeah

Mona: "...so basically, love triangle."

Bubblegum: Great now I have to deal with one of these again

Mona: "No, no, it's fine, you don't have to deal with it..."

Casey: "Ey, kawaii kitty girl, you taken?"

Bubblegum: Yes

Casey: "Darn... that's too bad. Whoever you're with is super lucky."

Bubblegum: *whispering* Now I am totally involved

Casey: "I heard that."

Bubblegum: No you didnt

Casey: "I'm part bat. I have SUPER HEARING."

Bubblegum: My point exactly you seem to be more intelligent than Zena
Zena: I HEARD THAT

Casey: "...who was that?"

Ven: "Wolf girl. Beastmonger's kid's fiance."

Casey: "Oh."

Zena: ONCE AGAIN, I HEARD THAT

Casey: "I STILL HAVE BETTER HEARING THAN YOU!"

Zena: YOURE A BAT, DUH

Casey: "PLEASE DON'T YELL! I HAVE SENSITIVE EARS!"

Zena: Oh geez

Casey: "Thank you."

Zena: Welcome

Casey: "Anyhow. Kitty girl. How do you plan to help us with this issue?"

Bubblegum: If you have such great ears how did you not hear my name?

Casey: "I heard your name, but I call people by nicknames."

Bubblegum: Acceptable

Casey: "So anyhow. Answer my question."

Bubblegum: Idk

Casey: "...okay then."

Bubblegum: Oh ook

*Ven and Casey awkwardly look at Mona for a moment.*

Bubblegum: So

Casey: "So..."
Ven: "So?"
Mona: "..."

Bubblegum: How can I help

Mona: "No idea."
Ven: "Find someone else for Casey to be in love with."
Casey: "Find someone else for Ven to be in love with."

Bubblegum: oh ok

Mona: "The two of them are never going to stop fighting over me... I appreciate the attention, but honestly it's getting a bit old..."

Bubblegum: I get it

Casey: "Ven, you's too dark and depresso for Mona."

Ven: "No, you're too sunshine and rainbows for Mona."

Mona: "Both of you, stop it!"

Bubblegum: Or I will forcefully separate you

Casey: "He started it."

Ven: "NO I DIDN'T!"

*Ven leaps at Casey. She screeches.*

Bubblegum: *drags Zena over to where they are* Help me

*Casey is shielding herself with her wings while Ven attacks her and Mona tries to pull him off. This is... chaotic.*

Bubblegum: *casually dragging Ven away*

Casey: "Thank you..."

Ven: "LET ME GO!"

Bubblegum: Zena!
Zena: *helps restraining him*

*Ven eventually stops struggling.*

Bubblegum: Okay then

Ven: "Hmph."

Bubblegum:

*Casey has sustained a few injuries from Ven and falls over.*

Bubblegum: *unhappiness noises*

Casey: "I'll be fine, kitty girl. I just need a first-aid kit."

Bubblegum: *hands one over* Here you go
Zena: Wha- How- Where-

Casey: "You're an interesting one, kitty girl."

*Casey starts tending to herself.*

Bubblegum: *grins*

*Casey smirks.*

Bubblegum: Anything else?

Casey: "Nah, I don't need anything else right now, kitty girl. Thanks anyhow."

Bubblegum: Okay

*Casey slowly gets up.*

Bubblegum: *she suddenly has mango juice*
Zena: I’m done asking

Casey: "Magic. I like it."

Bubblegum: Thank you

Casey: "You're welcome."

Bubblegum: So now what

Casey: "...We could go search for other late-shift people, try to find someone for me or Ven to hook up with and break the love triangle."

Bubblegum: Okay sure

Casey: "...I don't know my way around though, I'm new. Could you lead the way?"

Bubblegum: I don’t know my way around that well

Casey: "...I guess we'll have to find our way around, then."

Bubblegum: Yeah

Casey: "Well, uhh... lead the way."

Bubblegum: To where

Casey: "I dunno, somewhere there might be people."

Bubblegum: Isk

Casey: "...there's some sort of lounge area somewhere but I don't know where it is..."

Bubblegum: *a map suddenly appears in her hands*

Casey: "Woah, awesome."

Bubblegum: Zena stopped asking

Casey: "She's never gonna understand it, so she probably sees no point in questioning further."

Bubblegum: Anything you want?

Casey: "How about a root beer?"

Bubblegum: *hands one over* Here

Casey: "Thanks, kitty girl."

*Casey sips the root beer.*

Bubblegum: *opens a ginger ale*

Casey: "Heh. You a ginger ale fan?"

Bubblegum: Yeah

Casey: "I can respect that, though I could never stomach it."

Bubblegum: Okay

Casey: "So where exactly is the lounge?"

Bubblegum: *inset directions to lounge here*

Casey: "Right."

*Casey lifts Bubblegum up and flies her to the lounge.*

Bubblegum: Oh ok

Casey: "Oh, good, there are people here."

(Can you make a character for this? I don't think I can manage more than three right now)

(I don’t feel like making anything so here are some unused ones I found)

(okie dokie, let's go with the first one)

(Okay)

Casey: "...who is that?"

Bubblegum: Idk

*Casey walks over.*

Casey: "Hi there."

???: Hi

Casey: "I'm Casey. I'm new to the night shift."

Celia: Celia

Casey: "Nice to meet you."

Celia: You too

Casey: "So, what night shift job do you have?"

Celia: *insert here*

Casey: "...alarm response... so you basically don't do anything. Must be a cushy job."

Celia: yeha

Casey: "Meanwhile I have to run security..."

Celia: Thatvsucks

Casey: "Yeah..."

Celia: So

Casey: "...you wanna grab a drink or something?"

Celia: Sute

*Casey smiles. Her wings flap.*

Casey: "Let's go. The bar is the one place I know how to get to."

Celia: OKAY

*Casey heads for the elevator.*

*Celia follows*

Casey: "I just hope there's someone to manage the bar..."

*Casey unlocks the elevator and motions for Celia to enter first.*

Celia: Oh it’s ok

Casey: "Alright..."

Celia: *goes inside*

*Casey steps in. The elevator heads up to the bar.*

Celia: What’re you going to get

Casey: "A Bloody Mary."

Casey: "What? It tastes good."

Celia: Obviously

Casey: "What are you gonna get?"

Celia: Idk

Casey: "Alright then..."

Celia: Maybe just a root beer
Bubblegum: *suddently appears* Hi

Casey: "Hiya, kitty girl."

Bubblegum: hi

Casey: "Are you going to join us?"

Bubblegum: Sure

Casey: "Alright then..."

Bubblegum: Meet you there

Casey: "Okay!"

*she disappears*

*The elevator seems to go slower on night shift. Perhaps to save energy.*

*they get there*

*Casey steps out of the elevator.*

*bubblegum is there*
Celia: *follows*

*Luckily, there IS a late-night bartender... Carrion, of all people.*

Bubblegum: Who

Carrion: "You likely don't remember me. I'm Lisbet's boyfriend, the one who until recently literally had no voice."

Bubblegum: I do not
