Beep! Beep! Beep!


I groan and turn over in bed, trying to drown out the sound of my alarm.


Beep! Beep! Beep!


Just five more minutes. Five more minutes.


Beep! Beep! Beep!


Child, your alarm is going off, says Shroompy.


I groan. With a heavy sigh, I force myself to sit up.


Beep! Beep! Beep!


I check the alarm. 5:31 AM.


Ugh.


Beep! Beep! Bee- I slap the alarm's off button.


Another day at work. Ugh.


Be not frustrated at the stretch of work ahead of you today, my child, said Axolotlpy, head popping out behind the toaster. for today is Wednesday, my dudes.


Wednesday. "Yeah, Your Grace, Wednesday. Wednesday, Wednesday..." then it sunk in.


"Oh my God, it's Wednesday! The Others are coming over after work, crap, my place is a mess!"


There are KFC buckets everywhere and it smells like fried chicken. Shit, I need to clean this place up before the Gathering tonight.


Fear not, for this is a great lesson in cultivating Inner Strength. Take it as a lesson, my child, for Nirvana favours those who learns from their mistakes. It was Freezerburnpy who spoke this time who was on the counter next to my custom-made Peepy mug. I have made you a cup of coffee. Take a moment to gather your strength. You have a long day ahead of you.


"Oh man, thank you, Your Grace. I so need a cuppa right now." I took the mug and sat down by the dining table, sighing. "Man, I had the weirdest dream last night."


I took a sip, and the bitter taste of way-too-strong coffee slapped me in the face. I tried to hide my distaste, but my face automatically crumpled into a grimace.


"Uhh, Your Grace... how much coffee did you put in this coffee?"


Three spoonfuls.


"Tea-spoonfuls?"


Table-spoonfuls.


"Ah." I took another sip, and try to stop myself from grimacing again. I failed. "It's... delightful."


Thank you.


Have you contacted the Others yet about the Gathering tonight? spoke Axolotlpy, who was munching on a piece of burned toast. Man, I still need to teach him how to use the toaster.
