CHEAP DRAMA
[Everything's Gonna Be Okay]

Amidst the hustle and bustle of the event, socks had so far been making himself quite busy just lending a hand to anyone who seemed to need it. It was almost tough to count how many new friends he'd made in the last few days alone! This was probably a new personal best after all consideration.

Now that he'd finished his work for the moment though, he was thinking about paying a visit to some of his new friends.

W-3259
"Hmmmm, I wonder how Mr. Poet is doing? >w<" He tapped on his mask in idle thought for a moment.

With a hop and a skip, he headed towards the main stage- that was where he last saw his large, feathered, friend... or at least future friend. Willpower was an incredible thing, and Socks' wouldn't be giving up without a fight (metaphorically). Perhaps from there he could find a trace of where Mr. Poet had disappeared to previously?

The Poetnix had remained on his stage in an invisible state. He picked up his birds but could find no muse for them. Each bird had closed its beak shut.

This time without action controlling strings of all things to enforce actual real life consequences for cheap drama.

He couldn't write. That's what his critics said. His stories were "cheap drama." His characters as flat as cardboard and their motives unknown. People were more excited to see a minor deity than him.

He was

cheap drama.
Poetnix
He liked what he created. He thought the stages and their plays were amusing and fun! Who doesn't like a little cheap drama in their life? Would they all prefer to be bored?
Poetnix
The Poetnix grabbed one of his puppets. His muse. His device of cheap drama. He liked what he did. He liked his stories. A fire grew within him.
Poetnix
He would make cheap drama a reality.

This was harder to do without an artist do do the recoloring for him. Oh well.

While approaching the stage, Socks watched a new bird rise. The bird of CHEAP DRAMA.

As enthusiastically as ever, he gave his biiiiiiggest wave! A greeting to a new friend should always be special after all!

"Oh, oh, oh! Hullo there!"
W-3259
"I know this one! We're at the writing festival! And this is the stage! >W<"
Poetnix
"WRONG. YOU'RE WRONG! FOR THIS FAILURE, YOU ARE TRAPPED IN MY DOMAIN, WITH (almost) NO EXIT IN SIGHT. ARE YOU FEELING THE FEAR IN YOUR SOUL YET, MORTAL?"
W-3259
"Hehehe, Oh, of course! I fear..."
W-3259
"THAT WE'RE GONNA BE GREAT FRIENDS! My name is W-3259, but my friends call me Socks! What's your name? >w<"
Poetnix
"You....feel no fear.....YOU ARE RUINING MY FIRST SHOWCASING OF MY POWERS. MY FIRST ENTRANCE!

I WILL GIVE YOU SOMETHING TO FEAR. I WILL GIVE YOU FEAR, AND I WILL GIVE YOU ANGER. I WILL GIVE YOU PANDORA'S BOX."
Poetnix
"Except not the actual one, that one got lost."
Poetnix
"I WILL BE GIVING YOU A RECREATION OF PANDORA'S BOX."
Poetnix
"WITHIN THIS BOX IS ALL THE EMOTIONS YOU HAVE BEEN MISSING.....BUT.....actually there's no prize inside the box, this is a recreation."
W-3259
"Oh! A present for me!?" He pulls a folded up piece of paper from his pocket. "I actually brought one too, but I cant seem to find my friend to give it to them. >w<"
Poetnix
"LET ME SEE THAT."
W-3259
"Oh, do you know mister poet too? >w<"

"WAIT NO I'M NOT GOING TO ASK YOU TO SEE IT. I'M EVIL."
The bird of CHEAP DRAMA steals the paper.
W-3259
"Nice to meet you, Evil- hey! >w<"

The slightly crumpled paper is folded into quarters. Opening it up, it appears Socks has made an attempt to write a poem for "Mr. Poet".

W-3259
"Please be careful! I have to give that to Mr. Poet!! >w<"
Poetnix
"ONE MOMENT I CAN'T FUCKING READ IT FROM THIS ANGLE. DON'T DO ANYTHING." The bird of CHEAP DRAMA hops over to the invisible Poetnix so he can eat it.

Socks just can't help how excitable he is about presents. He picks up the box from the ground and gives it a light shake, trying to listen for a sound inside. Surely, emotions aren't something that can be wrapped up. Maybe the birdie meant it was like... an emotional gift? Oh! Maybe there was something fun inside!?
W-3259
"Maybe there's some cool snacks in it- I could share them with Beeatrix and Apmeke, and Mr. Poet, and the manager an-"
Socks opens Pandora's Box.

"Oh this note you've given me is actually quite sweet." The Poetnix looks up from his note as Socks opens the box. "NO YOU FUCKING IDIOT. I'M SUPPOSED TO BE THE BIRD OF CHEAP DRAMA. YOU CAN'T JUST OUT CHEAP DRAMA ME LIKE THIS!!!!!"
Socks has gained all of the emotions that had never been allowed to him due to his W-class heritage.
W-3259
"H-huh... It's empty. >w<"
W-3259
sniffle sniffle "I-is it because I'm an i-idiot? >w<"
W-3259
"H-huh?" He drops the box and looks at his hands, and then to the bird. The puppet. Even through his mask, the disbelief is written plain as day.
W-3259
"W-what's wrong with me!? >w<"
End.
No one is typing.
