Darkness Retribution

Traumatized Toes pedeos

As the night settled once again, everyone went back to sleep, exhausted from the strange and eventful day. The house was quiet, save for the occasional rustling of Freddy tossing and turning or the faint snoring from Daddy Hello Kitty Batman in the next room. Even Neuvillette, still grumpy from the night's events, finally managed to rest in peace.

Morning arrived softly, the light creeping through the blinds. You woke up first, snuggled close to Felix, who was still fast asleep. The room was peaceful. You stretched, careful not to wake him, and headed downstairs. There was a calmness in the air—no chaos, no missing furniture, just the smell of fresh coffee that Freddy must have brewed early.

As everyone gradually trickled into the kitchen, Freddy was the first to speak. "So... what do you think happened to Ding Dong?" he asked, pouring himself a second cup of coffee. Everyone shrugged, trying to brush off the weird events from the night before.

"Let's just hope our chairs stick around this time," you joked, grabbing some toast.

Neuvillette entered the room with his usual composed demeanor, though you could tell from the bags under his eyes that he still wasn't fully recovered from being woken up multiple times. He silently poured himself a glass of water, staying out of the group's conversation but visibly listening.

"Morning, Neuvillette," you greeted him with a light wave. He glanced at you, muttered a curt "morning," and then focused back on his glass.

Felix, finally joining the group, stretched as he took a seat next to you. "You know," he said, still yawning, "I had a weird dream last night about chairs...."

Everyone exchanged confused glances before Freddy burst into laughter, the rest of the group soon joining in. Even Toe Pedeos giggled in his strange toe-wiggling way.

The morning lazily stretched on, and despite all the talk of doing something, no one seemed particularly motivated. Freddy was still lounging around, nursing his second cup of coffee, and Daddy Hello Kitty Batman was sprawled out on the couch, occasionally muttering about how his back still wasn't what it used to be. Felix leaned his head against your shoulder, clearly content with not moving.

"I know we said something about a hike or whatever, but... does anyone actually want to do anything?" you asked, glancing around at the lethargic group.

Freddy shook his head lazily. "Nah, I'm good right here."

Neuvillette raised his glass of water without even looking up from it. "I'm fine staying exactly where I am."

"Same," Felix murmured, wrapping an arm around your waist and snuggling closer.

Duolingo popped up suddenly. "How about an intense lesson on conjugating verbs in different languages?" He grinned too brightly, clearly not understanding the chill vibe.

"Duolingo," Daddy Hello Kitty Batman said from the couch, eyes half-lidded, "if you say one more thing about lessons, I swear on Toe Pedeos' wiggles that I will make you wish you were a regular bird app."

Even Duolingo had to laugh at that, before settling down into his chair with an exaggerated sigh. Everyone seemed to collectively agree that today was going to be a lazy one.

Suddenly, Emo Jesus stood up with an air of grandiosity. "You know what?" he said, staring off into the distance dramatically. "I'm going to take a dump. Cya."

The room exploded in laughter. Felix buried his face into your shoulder to muffle his giggling, while even Neuvillette had to cover his mouth to keep from chuckling aloud.

Emo Jesus strutted away, dramatically brushing his hair out of his face, heading toward the bathroom like a man on a mission. "Don't wait up for me," he added before disappearing down the hall.

A few minutes later, Toe Pedeos, who was curiously wandering around the house, opened the door to the bathroom without knocking.

The scream that followed was one for the ages. "AHHHHHHH!"

Toe Pedeos stood there frozen, his big eyes wide with horror. Inside, Emo Jesus sat on the toilet, his eyeliner still perfectly intact but his dignity completely shattered.

"Dude!" Emo Jesus yelled, his arms flailing to cover himself. "What the actual hell?!"

Toe Pedeos, utterly traumatized, bolted from the room, his tiny feet scurrying across the floor. "I didn't see anything! I didn't see anything!" he shouted, but everyone could tell by his expression that he had definitely seen something.

The group, hearing the commotion, couldn't stop laughing. Felix was nearly in tears, and Freddy wheezed as he doubled over. Even Neuvillette, trying to maintain his usual stoic expression, let out a begrudging chuckle.

Emo Jesus stormed back into the living room, face flushed and clearly annoyed. "Next time, I'm locking the door."

Toe Pedeos, still recovering from the shock, trembled by the doorway, his toes wiggling nervously. "I'm so sorry! I-I thought it was empty!"

"Next time," Neuvillette said dryly, smirking a little, "maybe knock?"

Toe Pedeos nodded rapidly, still shaken.

The rest of the day passed with the group laughing at the absurdity of it all, no one able to forget Toe Pedeos' scream or Emo Jesus' dramatic bathroom exit. It wasn't the adventure anyone had planned, but it was certainly an unforgettable start to their lazy day.
