The sun rose above the horizon, and hung brightly in the sky. The birds chirped at one another, the flowers swayed in the wind. SMG1's eyes began to flutter open, as he stirred awake in his bed. He slowly sat himself up, stretching out with a yawn. Quite the average, sunny day, isn't it? He's not sure what specifically he has planned—probably nothing too important aside from Guardian and/or University Teacher duties—so maybe he'll spend some of his time enjoying the day. That sounds good actually.

SMG1 gets up from bed, and prepares himself for the day. First, hygiene care, bodily and oral (oral care done twice). Second, get his usual... "outfit"... on. Third, coffee and cereal. It's a quick and decent breakfast meal, promise. Once that's done, he thinks he's pretty much ready to go. Go where? Wherever the sidewalk takes him. Though he does take notice of SMG2 on the couch, scrolling through their phone. "SMG2? Can you keep the house secure while I'm out? I'm just going to take a walk."

SMG2 salutes at One's request, their eyes not moving from the screen. "Mhm!" Honestly, One doesn't know why Two bothers with that thing so much. He's seen the content they watch; it's mindless.

But, whatever. He can't really stop them. "I'll be back in a couple of hours." SMG1 walks down the front door, and intakes the fresh air from outside. Looking up at the perfect blue sky, he walks. Again, wherever the sidewalk will take him. Well— unless there is no sidewalk. Then it's... wherever the direction accessible by walking will take him.

His time outside is spent taking care of a few things. Catching up with SMG4 and the others via "Discord," going out to pay a couple of bills, pay Bob Bobowski a visit at the hotel he owns. For no particular reason. Just to chat, and say hi. And admire the place a little, the interior is quite nice. And... admire the host a little. Er- what was that? No, of course he doesn't feel any way about Bob! That would be ridiculous! Improper! Something he totally would not do ever in his life, ever!

...Anyways. Aside from that, he's mostly out just to enjoy the pleasant weather. Within the outskirt-ish regions of the Mushroom Kingdom, he walks up a grassy hill, the grass beneath him a happy, healthy sort of green. The wind caused the blades below him to sway, and his red, cotton scarf to fly against the breeze. He eventually reached the top, and settled into a sit.

From there, he looked out towards the rest of the kingdom. The rest of the city. Aside from the unruly shenanigans that would often plague this universe, this place... it's quite peaceful once you find the right spot. It's beautiful. As much as One misses his own universe, having been destroyed in the midst of ZERO's tyrannical omnicide, if there was anywhere he and Two would've liked to take refuge in, it would be here. It was a bit of a no-brainer, considering this was there the two other Guardians were... but still. Even without that fact, this place is nice. He feels at peace.

...Though, something odd broke his sense of peace. His antennas twitched, picking up a sound from somewhere above him. He began to look around, soon coming to a stand, and looking up at the sky. His hand was placed overtop his eyes, so he could try and gage what he was seeing better. A white ball came careening down from the sky, a sharp trailing coming from behind it. And, this was odd, but... "...Is that thing... screaming?" He muttered to himself, his eyes narrowing in suspicion.
