"Ugh! Those Heros are so dumb! Why can't I beat them up yet?" The winged monster exclaimed.

"Because," the voice over the phone spoke evenly, like they were addressing a bratty child. "Your skills aren't needed here at the moment. You'll do better continuing recon."

Inky huffed and crossed her arms. Mouthing the boss's words in a mocking tone to herself. Thankfully she wasn't heard as he addressed the other in the room.

"You know your task, correct?"

"Yes I do," the monster in the large cloak nodded, his white hair buzzed with static,

"Good, don't disappoint me"

"I shall not fail" he declared as the phone clicked off. Only huffed,

"You're such a suck up, you know that? 'Gruh I shall not fail me'lord' like at least be interesting about it" She glared at the other, speaking in a mocking impression of him, he looked down at her glaring right back.

"And you're a stubborn brat, it's no wonder the boss has a preference over me when compared to you, harpy." He crosses his arms, dramatic like, as Inky stuck her tongue out.

"Well don't have too much fun, edgelord.."

"Oh I assure you," he adjusted his coat calor to hide the bottom of his face as he approached the door, "I shall have the most miserable time"

It was an overcast day in vinyl city, it looked like it might rain, a perfect evening for an indoor activity. We join our hero's at Neon J's mansion, they sat at a table, Rin and Eloni were chatting about a show they liked, Purl-Hew was nose deep in a book, and Haym was hunched over last minute homework with Zimelu silently cheering him on. Such was the white noise until Haym loudly put down his pencil with a triumphant cheer.

"Done! That's all my late work done!"

"HELL YEAH! Up top!" Zimelu raised his hand high and Haym jumped to slap it with his own in a loud hi five.
Eloni politely clapped with Rin giving a thumbs up, Purl looked up from his book.

"You finished all of it?"

"Yep! I just gotta turn it all in on Monday."
Purl looked over the worksheets himself, then gave a nod.

"Well would you look at that, good job Haym." He replied with an even tone before going back to his book. Haym gave a silent cheer, praise from Purl-Hew over homework! What an achievement!

"Well I think we should celebrate! Let's get ice cream or something." Zimelu declares while patting Haym hard on the back. The yellow haired teen seemed keen on this plan until Eloni winced.

"Uh, maybe we could do something else? I'm really not feeling like ice cream today." He mumbled meekly, Zimelu blinked, then nodded.

"Fair, fair, today's not a great ice cream day anyway" Haym suddenly gasped and exclaimed

"What if we went to that Mexican restaurant?? Heard they got really good tacos!"

"Uh, I'm not sure I'm hungry enough for that" Rin admitted then quickly added "I don't have to eat anything though!"

"No way man! I don't want any of you feeling left out in my mini 'I got my homework done' celebration!"

"I don't see why you need a party in the first place" Purl's voice cut in. All eyes were on the blue haired teen as he flipped a page, not looking up from the book he was reading. Sensing the attention, he continued.

"Why would you celebrate doing something you were supposed to do in the first place? Seems wasteful" he shrugged. Zimelu huffed And crossed his arms.
