[it is different :|a]

Did something change?

Boss decided to do a home improvement project the other day. Hope you liked it.

It's -- I guess it doesn't matter which way we come down.

But this is faster, isn't it?

[nods]

We could probably just stay in the kitchen.

[waves]

Whatever makes ya happy, Buttercup.

W-well--! I don't mind seeing the rest, but I really don't want to run into that kid and Zim, and Slick's probably still mad ...

... kid? Like Wish, or like Lighting?

Not Wish. He's been nothing but gentle. ... ... do you mean Lightning Rod?

Yeah, him...

[blinks]

...you're on the team that he was assigned to take an arm from in that game, aren't you?

And blood, which turned into him nearly killing Allen.

...damn, he didn't even get that? I mean, he didn't seem to be able to string together the stuff behind the arm idea, but...

[shivers. nervously looking around for him]

H-he's -- even if he means well, i-it's still --

Weird? Creepy? Amazing that someone could be that dumb?

Terrifying!

...

Terrifying.

He's allowed to have my cooking tonight, but that's it.

I guess you had to be there, huh.

It might not have happened if someone from your team had been there.

Look, I thought he got it. It's not my fault he's an idiot that the bosses found useful enough to promote.

No. But Allen might have been spared a lot of pain if someone had taken ten minutes to go with him.

And what if the bosses send him out without telling any of us?

Then -- then that's different.

Because the way I see it, we were supposed to take the jobs that were assigned to us and perform them on our own, pretty much. I dunno if that boss would have let us be there the second time, because he really seems to get off on that sort of thing. You know?

Then the first time could have been better. Maybe you only got those orders because we used them, and he only got to go out alone because the Judges wanted him to, but ... he definitely caused unnecessary suffering.
