tw: mentions of drinking
__________________________
The quiet sounds of Quackity and Schlatt's snores drift through the living room as I pull on my boots. I don't bother masking the noise- those two can sleep through a hurricane when they AREN'T drunk, and given how many empty bottles are littering my floor, it's safe to say that the only thing waking them up now is the house literally blowing up under them.
I take one last glance at the two passed out throughout the room before slipping out the door, doing my best to stay steady. I may not have drank as much as usual- I am still conscious after all- but I did have enough to make me a bit tipsy. Still, that's always to be expected during our hangout nights. I wince at the high pitched creaking sound the door emits as it closes.
I take a deep breath of the outdoor air, my head already beginning to feel a tad clearer. The wind blows through my hair, covering my eyes slightly. After a moment, I start walking, no clear destination in mind.
The streets of Manburg are empty, a rare sight in this day and age. My footsteps seem to echo across the street, despite how quiet they normally are.
That's what makes it such a surprise when a another noise joins them.
Hurried footsteps scutter through a nearby alleyway, whoever they belonged to unaware of the increased volume, or perhaps simply not caring. Still, it stuck out like a sore thumb.
Well now the idiot has gotten my attention. Might as well follow them- not like I have much else to do.
Taking extra care to mask my steps given I now have an unintended guest, I trail behind, not able to get a good look at who it is. The only thing I can tell is they're wearing dark clothing and are fairly short. They have a clear destination in mind, though why they were walking so far to the outskirts of the city is beyond me. I'm not sure how long we travel, but eventually they come to a halt, right outside the Manburg walls. Then they speak and it takes everything in my not to gasp, even though I should have seen this coming.
"Tommy? Are you there?" Tubbo's voice is hushed but still seems to ring out across the quiet landscape.
"Yeah, big man. Any updates?" The sadly familiar voice of TommyInnit responds, causing me to roll my eyes on instinct.
"Yeah... they got me planning a festival now. I can tell you and Wilbur about it more tomorrow, but I don't want to talk about it now..."
The conversation continues, nothing else of note being discussed. Or maybe there was, I don't know- I'm still trying to process this betrayal thing. I mean, I knew he had it in him, if my execution was any indication, but damn. I have to tell Schlatt about this.
Oh prime, I have to tell Schlatt AND Quackity about this. Oh no. Oh no no no. I am NOT looking forward to having that conversation.
At least I get to say "I told you so".

Quackity's face blanches as a dark look crosses Schlatt's face. "I shoulda known this would happen..." The goat hybrid mutters, pinching the bridge of his nose.
"I mean, I hate to say I told you so, but-"
"You absolutely do not hate to say that, I can see you trying not to laugh right now."
"... shush."
"So what are we going to do now?" Quackity asks, his voice a shaky kind of quiet. He's holding himself together better than I thought he would, in all honesty.
A conversation I had with Schlatt back when this all began flashes through my mind. "Well, I am your hitman for a reason..."
Schlatt didn't respond instantly, leaning back in his chair, eyes shut as he contemplated solutions. A wicked grin crosses his face. "Y'know what? I got a better idea." He readjusted on his chair, arms folded threateningly in front of him.
"Ever heard of an execution?"
