[Nagisa groans and holds up... a child-sized toy vacuum cleaner with Cure Black emblazoned on the side. It really exists. I swear.]

The community gave me this. And the matching washing machine. Seriously, even it wants me to do my chores now.

What's the point where you figure you've lost control of your life?

[o hai Nagisa

it's your friend Kirby

he's having much worse troubles with the virus

and by that this mun means he's literally buried in toys and games and food in his house, all him-themed

he'd respond, but he's digging out of the big toy pile]

[icantbelievethis]

What in the -- Are you okay in there?

[alldevouringabomination]

[Kirby finally manages to climb out of the pile. He wobbles to his feet, and he half-heartedly waves to Nagisa.

Then a bag of Kirby-shaped cookies tumbles onto him. He's just not getting a break.]

[icantbelievethis]

How much stuff did they give you? What's with this place and drowning you in things?

[alldevouringabomination]

[It's not so much being given stuff, as being given way too much of it, and not knowing what to do with it all.

This is evidenced by the fact that Kirby escapes through his house's window, only to find that there's a rather conspicuous cloud that looks just like him - and there are large birds wearing masks that look like Kirby's face.

This is creepy. Also, this virus sucks. Kirby just sighs dejectedly at Nagisa's question. Boy, this sure puts things in perspective, huh?]

[icantbelievethis]

I can't believe this! That just went too far. I think I got the answer to my question now.

[alldevouringabomination]

[Kirby: giving you uncomfortable answers to uncomfortable questions!

He gets on his Warp Star and flies off to a meadow where hopefully this madness doesn't exist.

It doesn't work; as he passes over, the flowers, of all things, are arranged to form a little crop circle-eqse picture of him!

In bright neon colours, no less!

Kirby facepalms. He likes recognition as much as the next guy, but seriously.

In the background, a pink balloon floats by.]

[icantbelievethis]

You're probably really popular somewhere. If it helps, do you wanna trade? I have some instant noodles and banana packages with my face on them, some plushies, a little jewelry-box-playset-thing...

[alldevouringabomination]

[Anything to make this less sucky!

Congrats, you now have one Kirby racing back to his house to gather up assorted him-merch to barter with you!

He's bringing lots of stuff - and some of it is baking and chocolate...]

[icantbelievethis]

[Eyes are sparkling right now, okay.]

For serious? That much?

[alldevouringabomination]

[Kirby's the one with a smothering amount of junk in his house, not you. He'd give you more, but he's just seen how well that went, especially since you have the virus too.

Kirby nods. Have some games and toys and clothing and treats and some things he didn't identify during his hasty gathering. He himself doesn't have much use for them right now.]

don't mind me just being late

[oceanicbutterfly]

It's a pretty good likeness.

always happy for Karen tags!

[icantbelievethis]

I don't think that's the point. Why am I on a vacuum?

[oceanicbutterfly]

So kids will do their chores?

[icantbelievethis]

I don't even get the point of a toy vacuum. Cleaning isn't fun! I bet you're on something even weirder.

[oceanicbutterfly]

They pretend to vacuum the floor, and they think it's fun. Then they start wanting to try the real one, and eventually they're allowed to and they've tricked themselves into cleaning.

As for me, I think I'd look good on a watering can, don't you?

[icantbelievethis]

But they'll eventually figure that cleaning isn't fun.

If things made sense, I'd be on a flashlight instead of a vacuum cleaner. Wait, I got one of those, too.

[oceanicbutterfly]

But if they can get into the habit first...

Actually, didn't you fight a vacuum cleaner once? Maybe that's it.

[icantbelievethis]

Yeah, but you fought furniture a couple times and I don't see you on any of that. ...actually, maybe you are on some and I just don't see it.

[oceanicbutterfly]

Do they even make toy furniture, though?

[Witness the question that would only be asked by someone who had all the grown-up furniture she wanted.]

[icantbelievethis]

...uh, yeah. Hollow plastic kid-sized tables and chairs. You seriously never saw those?

[oceanicbutterfly]

I don't believe so. What would you do with them? Pretend to eat?

[icantbelievethis]

Did you never play house in your life, either?

[oceanicbutterfly]

How would that be different from just being in a house?

[icantbelievethis]

...Wait, are you saying that rich people actually use real houses they have lying around as their playhouses? I thought that was made up!
