"I'm honestly surprised you all don't interact through your 'puppets' n' stuff. There a reason for that?"

Derrick responded "What are you talking about?"

"Oh, nothing at all."

Azure: "A person who can't separate their person from their self is bound to fall short."

Nightshade: "You're a dangerous man."

Azure: "Why else would I have someone like you?"

"Awh he does? I'm flattered." Abra smiled as he shook the man's hand.

Aquila's hand appeared behind and over Abra's head. "Hey Alex, nice to see you. By the way sorry for the wait. I promise I'll get to it... eventually." As he talked, due to Abra blocking their views, his hand gestured to suppliment. He looked over at Azure, an eyebrow raised. "Fall short? You trying to imply something Azure?"

A considerably confused Chromium7 entered the clubhouse and waved at all the weird people.

"Huh, how many people is this now? Counting puppets and puppeteers... whatever you're calling yourselves."

Azure: "I'm calling myself Azure. Maybe top dog. As for your question, Aquila, there's only but so much a self-insert can do while remaining interesting."

"I take offense to that! Hmm, on second thought, I think I'm beginning to regret a few things. No one seems to have noticed until now though."

Adrian left, taking a box of golden energy with him. Huh... wonder what that i-
"Fuck you, I'm leaving, DD."
Sigh. Anways, the douchebag "author" looked round, and raised his martini to the other puppeteers in the room. He nods. Takes a sip. And then waits for someone to make fun of him.


*sips the martini

"Try some apple juice instead."

David, who had been sitting peacefully watching the chaos ensue, was suddenly alerted to a new presence looming over him. Looking up, he saw a tall red-head smiling down at him.

"Sup, David. I'm here to join the party." IgnusBurns stated, smiling devilishly, he glanced over at Draou and tipped an invisible hat, "Hey man."

He did the same to Urako, smiling wide, and looked up at Bill, "Why am I here exactly, our most gracious host?"

A long sigh flowed out of Iris as he eyed one of the newcomers, specifically the one left suddenly alone following Adrian's disappearance. "I'll be back," He stated to his companions before making the short journey to DoomsDruid, bringing his water with him. He didn't speak prior to taking a seat adjacent to him, although when he was situated, he did glance over his shoulder to the other 'puppeteers'.

"Apologies if this comes off as abrupt, but you don't need to be an outsider," Looking to the young man, he leaned back a bit, "I sincerely doubt the others see you the way you think they do."

"Yo. Gotta love those rhetorical questions."
