[ 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~

For no reason?

[He scowls, glaring at her.]

Wirt still hasn't ever mentioned you to me. Kind of a red flag.

[He shakes his head.]

Besides, I'm pretty sure pointing out the obvious doesn't qualify as being a jerk. Does he even know you were ever "dating?"

[Yes, there are finger quotes.]

[255000255000255]

[ She glares right back. ] If he's such a good friend, why haven't you asked him about it instead of interrogating me? Maybe you can figure out what's going on in his head, because I sure can't. Honestly, I'm not even sure if it's worth trying anymore.

[ Her brow furrows. It feels weird to say that. Since when does she give up? Still, she presses on. ]

Maybe you should make it more obvious that you love him so much! At least I tried, unlike you!

[ Because that's what's going on here, right? Jealousy? ]

[krmvgivv]

[JEALOUSY IS NOT THE RIGHT WORD HERE. WOW MONIKA. But also he definitely doesn't catch that. He's too busy being angry to catch on to her insinuations.]

I know what's going on in his head. He probably hasn't even noticed you're hitting on him.

[Which is part of why he hasn't brought it up to Wirt. It'll put him in an awkward position. Also because events keep happening and distracting him. Time for that to change, though.]

[255000255000255]

[ She sighs, but she also can't help a laugh. God, her luck. Are there literally no single people in Wonderland? It's always right when she thinks things are good and squared away that she finds this stuff out, too... ]

Well, I can totally imagine why now. He's too busy looking at someone else~

[ Sigh. Another one she'll have to love in secret.

...Semi-secret. ]

[krmvgivv]

Finally, you get it.

[Wirt's crush on Beatrice is pretty obvious to anyone who has eyes. It's not exactly the reason Monika should leave Wirt alone, but hey, if it convinces her to lay off, he'll go with it.]

[255000255000255]

[ Monika makes a face. ] Jeez, you don't have to be such a jerk about it. You'd think that would've make you feel better!

[ God, so possessive. That's such a turn off. ]

I hope he's being treated well, at least.

[ That gets him a significant look. She'll be watching you, Dipper. ]

[krmvgivv]

Duh. That's what I'm here for.

[To protect Wirt from people who won't treat him well. That's what friends are for.]

[255000255000255]

Uh-huh.

[ She crosses her arms with a raised eyebrow. ] Well, I'm glad we settled this. Maybe now you can get off my case a little. The unnecessary hostility was getting kind of old!

[krmvgivv]

We'll see.

[As far as he's concerned, it was very necessary hostility.]

[255000255000255]

[ She blinks slowly. Jeez, Wirt has some really weird taste in guys. ] Right.

I'm gonna get to cleaning my room, then. So you can go breathe or something.

[ His anger issues must be ten times worse than hers... ]
