           You, or well, Macaque, was currently seated off to the side of the dinner table, right next to Wukong and by some giant elephant. "Such foolishness! Now tell them what you said next." DBK laughed out as he slammed his closed fist repeatedly on the table you were seated at, Macaques hands holding his dinner bowl. After climbing Flower Fruit Mountain, you were greeted by an assortment of... interesting faces, but Macaque seemed to know them all so you didn't really care.

In your mind, you were trying not to fall asleep out of pure boredom, the only entertaining person here had to be Wukong. Speaking of, the sage took a large step forward and stood on top of the table you were all eating dinner on, Macaque glancing up at his ex friend. "'You dare insult me, you old cad? I shall henceforth be known as the Great Sage Equal to Heaven! I will muck out your pony stalls no longer, Monkey King out!'" Macaque held a small smile on his face as he watched Wukongs display, the others at the table loudly laughing at him.

Macaque glanced down at his hands and started to twiddle his fingers about, the elephant next to you slamming his fist down harshly onto the table. "Wukong, we're to believe you gave the Jade Emperor such lip?" He laughed out while wiping a stray tear from his eye, Wukong chuckling before restating that he was simply just paraphrasing. Wukong dramatically called out how his whole ordeal started something called 'The Havoc in Heaven' before the bird across from you started to laugh.

You furrowed your brows in your mind, as Macaque was still lightly smiling, while you looked at the bird, they looked like the one that stabbed Wukong. "What an insolent, little chimp you are." The bird spoke out before Macaque laughed out, asking if Wukong was really going through with his plan while glancing over cheekily at said monkey. You found it odd and slightly unsettling how close the two used to be, as you're not used to the two simians getting along with each other.

"Correction," Wukong spoke out as he took a drink from a canteen, letting out a large burp as both yours and Macaques face shifted into one of disgust. "We're really going through with this, like always! Monkey bros getting into some cheeky mischief." Wukong chuckled as he pressed his face against Macaques, teasing the monkey with a few pokes before your mentor sighed out. With a gentle shove, Macaque separated the sage from him, stating how these actions were going to have consequences, balling his hands up with a worried look.

However, that shallow expression soon fell as he took note that Wukong wasn't listening, instead mocking the Jade Emperor by piling bananas on his face, replicating the man. "You always were the most cowardly of the bunch, Macaque. Slinking around in the shadows like a rodent." Your mouth in your mind flew open in pure astonishment as you glanced at the bird in front of you, Macaque's face fitting into a small scowl. Ain't no damn way you're about to have one sided beef with this thing. "Well, I, for one, am done with squabbling for scraps." You internally cursed the person in your head, wishing that they spent a life doing nothing but that. At least Macaque was living in a house, you wondered where these people were.

The elephant next to you started to mutter about how the Jade Emperor and his followers were starting to get annoyingly aggressive, DBK clenching his fist at this. "The realm is well overdue for new leadership, and I think we all know the best man for the job." The group nodded their heads in silent sync, Wukong giggling like a little school girl before hitting DBKs chest. "Not you! A true leader should be big, strong and handsome, like Azure Lion." You did an internal double take at the familiar line, Macaque thankfully leaning forward and allowing you to glance at who DBK was talking about.
