video;

[ Rachel's in the feed, looking a mixture of angry and upset and honestly, kind of grossed out. For once, she looks like she might lose her cool. Or might have lost it already. Either way, she's holding a grease-stained takeout box in her hand, her lip pulled back in disgust. ]

You know, it's bad enough that both of my roommates just up and disappeared. It's bad enough that I'm stuck in this crummy apartment all by myself, when the blue bitch in charge has just locked us into the neighborhood. But when my food starts talking to me? I'm so done, okay?

[ She opens the top of the takeout box to show to the omni-tool feed -- the indistinguishable heap of food in the box looks perfectly innocuous at first, until it starts...wriggling. And then a couple of black bean mameshiba pop their heads above the surface with a little whoosh of air. They stare at the camera with wet, quivering eyes for a long moment before one of them starts to speak in a tiny voice and heavily affected English. ]

Do you know? Most lipstick contains fish scales --

[ Rachel snaps the top of the box shut, and the mameshiba inside let out muffled cries of dismay. Never has a teenaged girl looked this angry over bad takeout. Seriously, if looks can kill... Well, at least Rachel's grizzly morph can.

Her nostrils flare, her jaw set tight, and oh yeah, she looks pissed. Pissed to cover up being scared and upset because she's alone, and the food is infested with weird little Japanimation beans, and she doesn't like it when the rug gets pulled out from under her. ]


It's been crap like that, nonstop. Creepy, disgusting trivia every time I open the stupid box. And it's all so weird! Who even knows this stuff?

[ Nerds, Rachel. Nerds know this stuff. And right now, that makes her so angry.

She leans forward, eyes narrowed, and pronounces with total, seething conviction: ]


This. Is. So. Gross.

[ As if Marco's going to notice anything related to Rachel's appearance or willingness to arrive as soon as possible. Not when there are mameshiba loose in the apartment. ]

I'm pretty sure they can't open their mouths enough to do that!

[ He's shouting back through the door at her, though his voice is close, like he's just on the other side, but he doesn't open the door. Meanwhile, the excited chorus of DOYOUKNOWs is bubbling around him. ]

Are you sure you don't want to turn into an anteater?

I mean, I don't want to spill the beans, here, but. Lots. Lots and lots.

[ And spill the beans he does. He cracks open the door just enough to stick his nose through. A crowd of mameshiba of all different types starts pushing through the bottom of the door. ]

Hi! Glad you made it! Can I offer you something to drink?

Do you know? The average beer contains 154 calories!

[ There's one sitting on his head, helpfully offering her advice. ]

Oh, the usual. Keep them out of sunlight, get them wet, feed them after midnight. Do you know? These little guys love dirty socks!

[ There's a screech of protest as a bunch of mameshiba are caught along the bottom of the door and crushed when Marco slams it shut. The rest of the mameshiba scramble for cover as a second set of feet are introduced to the apartment, but the braver ones are bouncing up onto the couch to get a better look at their guest. ]

Do you know? Geckos lick their eyeballs because they can't blink!

[ Marco manages a weak smile as he shoes a bunch out of his way so he can sit down on the couch. ]

I thought you came over to help? Rachel with her superpowers, turning into a bear and smashing her way through the tiny bean things, protecting poor, helpless Marco?

[ He flutters his eyelashes at her in his best maiden-in-distress presentation, greatly enjoying any opportunity to grind her nerves. He can even ignore how annoying the infestation is right now, since they're being surprisingly harmless. ]

Do you know? It's impossible to kill yourself by holding your breath!

I'm not weird, I'm charming.

[ He mock-tumbles off the couch with her shove, displacing a crowd of upset mameshiba. He grins at her from the floor, flicking away the bean that's trying to crawl up his leg. ]

Jeez, Rachel, are you this rough with every Marco you meet, or is it just my superior egging skills? Come on, morph one of these little bean guys. I dare you!

[ Rest assurred that the antagonizing is all a cover for Marco's unwillingness to process whether or not he actually enjoys having Rachel around. ]

It was just a warning shot! Besides, I'm unarmed!

[ He holds up his empty hands to prove it. Just don't check the underside of the couch, Rachel. Hopefully, the mameshiba don't find his emergency personal protection, either. ]

Wait. Are you feeling okay? That's like, the first time you've said something almost nice to me.

[ The look on his face is most suspicious than worried, but he definitely notices that Rachel is being kind of weird. ]
