[ Monika is sitting placidly behind her piano, smiling like she has no cares in the world. However, something's...off.

Her ponytail is slightly askew, the bow drooping on one side, and her clothes aren't as clean and kempt as usual. But it's probably what's going on in the background that's more interesting.

As in her room is wrecked. Items are strewn about, things are broken, and her piano has an unmistakable crack in it. It's like a tornado tore through, that tornado being her. She doesn't care about wars or any other stupid bullshit, because she has more important things weighing on her mind.

See, the past month hasn't been too good to her. She had a body for a while. And now she doesn't. Monika doesn't like that. The asshole that killed her? Not only ruined her short time with a body, but also got to hit and run in the completely unfun way. She really doesn't like that. And being held captive by a demented bear? REALLY NOT LIKING THAT. Noticing a pattern here?

In short, she mad.

She gives a pleasant little hum, resting her clasped hands on the piano's fallboard. ]

Just a quick question today! Are there any robots around?

[ She blinks, still smiling. There are no underlying issues to address here, no siree! She is toootally not getting desperate for freedom, nope nope nope.

Everything is ab~so~lute~ly~ perfect! ]

Just curious~

[ She looks mildly depressed at the mention of the music room, but the reason isn't obvious. ] Ahaha. Don't worry. That one will be perfectly fine where it is.

[ SIGH. She sinks into a silence. ]

...What? [ Oh, right. Monika shakes out of her daze. ] Well. I hope not.

[ Her fingers brush against her piano. It'll probably be easy to alter the code back to normal, she figures. How fortunate. ]

Hopefully I'll write a poem next time like I usually do.

[ OH SHIT she kind of didn't want him to see her crazy to this extent!

Monika laughs weakly, twirling some of her hair around her fingers. ]

...There was a bug.

[Dipper is still suspicious as heck about Monika. He squints at the screen, frowning.]

Why are you looking for robots? You're not still staying in Wirt's room, are you?

[It certainly doesn't look like Wirt's room.]

[He shouldn't comment. He definitely shouldn't comment, and should just take the fact that she's apparently disappeared from his desk (which he totally didn't just notice now) as his out from the Monika situation, but...but, look at her.]

What...happened here?

Oh, okay! I don't know about the robots here, but I met some back in that other world I was in before I came here! They were all very nice, and definitely really smart!

Rude!!! (´；д；`)

I thought we had something special!

[ Ugghhhh SHE DOESN'T NEED YOUR PRYING RIGHT NOW, DIPPER. ]

Look, it's not a big deal, okay?

[ She glances away, frowning. She has no energy for sass or fake cheer right now. ] And no, I'm not in his room anymore, so you can go on and celebrate if you want.

[ Monika looks up in shock. She can feel a slight burning at the edges of her eyes. ] Wirt?

[ She covers up a sniffle with a small laugh. She was so sure he didn't care about her anymore. He didn't even ask where she'd gone... ]

Oh, hi! Nothing happened! I'll fix it soon, don't worry!

please tell me you're not being serious

i mean, i know you're not, but i need confirmation

Oooh, you're so lucky!

[ She feels like a good story. So she gets comfortable, resting her chin on her hands. ] Did you live in, like, some really cool future world with teleportation and stuff?

[... That... still sounds like a leap...]

Um... I guess so? But I guess if you really want to, there's nothing stopping you. I just wish I could help, but I'm not really good with technology unless it's the medical kind.

So, ah... G-Good luck! You can do it!

[G-Ganbatte! Trying to cheer on!!!]

('owo')

[He's too polite to say that he didn't really need the help...

He shakes his head.]

I wish you hadn't done that. And that it hadn't turned out that way.

don't japanese text emoji at me! that's not fair!

use regular ones like normal people! 😤😤😤😤

[ Monika shrugs helplessly. ] I wish I hadn't done it either. It was pretty stupid.

I just...get tired of not being able to do anything. Help anyone. I didn't want to feel useless anymore.

[ Monika grins. ] It's okay! Thanks for the encouragement!

I'll be sure you're the first one to see whatever I come up with! Then maybe you can teach me how to patch up a wound, ahaha.

[ It'd be good info to have, honestly. ]

Uh...okay.

[Maybe this was a mistake, but it's a little too late to go back now. She's obviously not okay and she probably doesn't even want to talk about it and also she got kind of creepy before so Wirt isn't totally sure about this conversation anyway, but he's already put his foot in his mouth here.]

Are you sure you're alright?

...I'm sorry. I don't think you're useless, though.

[ She smiles. It's small, but it's there. ] That means a lot coming from you, Souji. Thank you.

So, don't apologize, okay? I've still got a good number of lives left, so it's no big deal! And, you know, at least part of the night with him was okay. Ahaha!

[ Even if she'd like a redo when it comes to having a first date. ]

[The request makes his eyes harden instead of whatever her intended outcome was.]

You've been hiding something from me, and I think it's time you stop pretending there's nothing happening. It's hurting you. Let me help.

[ Her eyes harden, too. She knows his heart is in the right place, and she really, truly appreciates it...but there's no way he's going to ever know the truth. ]

You'll have to find me if you want to know, then.

You look so sad.

[There definitely was something up, more than he could see. Whatever it was bothered her enough that she did this to her room and to herself. If she were capable of that though, causing enough damage to herself, then she was capable of a lot more to other people.]

You shouldn't have to hurt so much from something outside that you end up hurting yourself too.

Oh! P-Please be careful!

[Don't get hurt on purpose or anything!!!]

_[...]

... There was a bug, so you trashed your room?

_{[He's no stranger to fits of temper, but this seems a bit... extreme.]}

Huuuuh? (O_O); I thought Japanese text emoticons WERE normal! (>~<)

[The upside of this nonsense is that all the important texts are buried in it.]
