"Now, with a new resident, I think it's important we all get to know each other! So we are going to play a little game. Everyone, follow me." The princess starts enthusiastically, before starting a small tune.
"My name is Charlie (she claps twice) I like to sing! (Claps twice) and when we get to know each other it's the greatest thing!" She ends by two claps again as I look at her dumbfounded before Sir Pentious starts his own part.

"My name's Sir Pentious (two claps) I like to build (claps twice) and dessspite my stupid Egg Bois, I think I'm very skilled!" He claps twice yet again, my eye twitching a bit at the repetitive noise. When it's finally Angel's turned he looks up from his phone, disinterested.

"This is stupid." He says bluntly.

"This is not stupid! (two claps again) It's just a game! (two fucking claps again) Sir Pentious did it well so now please try to do the same!" Charlie encourages the spider as he sighs, a hand on his temple.

"I am too sober for this."

"Well, get used to it and learn how to play, this is gonna be your whole day!" Vaggie says with a smirk, clapping two fucking times again before they all turn towards me.

"For one, I don't know how to rhyme shit, and also the damn claps are driving me insane. I'm going to get some painkillers for my fucking headache." I say, getting up from the floor but Charlie stops me, and my eye twitches as she starts clapping again.

"There's no need for rhymes! (clap clap) It's just for fun! (clap fucking clap) If you need painkillers though, I just happen to have some!!" She rummages through her pocket after clapping again, getting out a few of the pills as I throw her a deadpan glance before taking them, no water needed as I sit back down again.

"Whatever. Just stop with the fucking claps."

"Oh, I'm a bad man on the streets who never got enough hugs... now, where's an innocent kid I can sell crack to? Wow, who wrote this?" Angel stops acting as he moves the paper around, scowling at it. I just sit next to Husk on the sofa, albeit awkwardly, watching the scene unravel.

"It's great right? Keep going!" Charlie smiles, as the spider demon rolls his eyes.

"Hey, you...!"

"Who, me?" Sir Pentious drawls out, turning around in a kid costume with a huge lollipop.

"Yeah, ya look like a kid who could use some... devil's dandruff? Oh, for fuck's sake." I snort a bit at the euphemism.

"Not me! I have to go home and ssstudy!"

"Come on kid, it'll make you cool like me... the crackhead." I smirk a bit, looking at Charlie's excited face as she watches the scene.

"The only cool thing here is to sssay no to drugs! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to not have sexual intercourse before marriage!"

"Fuck that would be boring." I deadpan, recieving a snarl from Husk before Charlie gets up and starts clapping.

"Yes! Oh bravo! Bravo!" She chuckles.
"Wow Pentious! At this rate, you'll be redeemed in no time." Getting up from the couch as to get away from the scene and finally rest a bit, I notice Angel's mood has dropped again as he looks away from us.

"...I'm goin' to bed." He mumbles, and I ignore Charlie's congratulations to Sir Pentious, taking a small step towards Angel as he starts looking away. I watch his slumped shoulders and tired walk with concern, taking another step forward before stopping in my tracks.

I shouldn't care.

Holding myself back, I look away from the spider as I move back to a different, more secluded sofa, though I notice a stare on me.

Turning around I see Husk looking at me with a raised eyebrow and knowing glance.

I just look away again in shame.
