"Ah...is someone there?"
A noise was coming from the kitchen cabinet where Hisoka slept.
"Um...if whoever is out there could be so kind...I may have gotten myself a little stuck in here..."

Dae is just walking by the sink when he hears a voice coming from the cabinet. He puts down some dirty plates he was carrying into the sink, looks around to confirm the kitchen was indeed empty and crouches down to the cabinet.
"What was it? I didn't really hear you well."

"Oh...good morning, Dae," said the voice from the cabinet. "Um...oh, it's Hisoka. Not sure if you remember me. I woke up this morning and found myself stuck inside...I'd appreciate a little help..."

"Hisoka! There's no way I could forget you, I promise." Dae fully kneels down. He grins.
"Let's see... Hmph!" He pretends to pull on the cabinet doors as hard as he can. Looks like he's a pretty good actor too!
"WHEW!! Oh, man... it looks like it's really stuck, even from here... I'm sorry..."

"Oh...that's okay, I'll just go back to sleep then..." Hisoka said, not really understanding Dae's joke.

"W-what? Are you sure? I'm really gonna leave you in there, you know!!!" Dae exclaims, incredulous at the lack of reaction.

"...FINE. You got me! I was just pretending it was stuck! Are you happy?! I'll actually try now... so annoying..." Dae stands up and pulls on the door.
...And he pulls again.
And then a lot more. It won't budge!
"H..huh... well..."

"Nnk..."
Dae's attempts to pull the doors open woke Hisoka up from a restful slumber.
"Oh...good morning, Dae...is it the next day already..?"

"Yes." Dae responds immediately. "I'm really worried, Hisoka... I've been trying to open this door for so long... The others tried helping too but...!"
"Um, do you think Milk and Lotus could help at all?"

"...Oh, that's a good idea..."
A few brief moments passed.
"Who the fuck's out there?" Milk asked rudely.
"You're supposed to ask nicely, Milk," Lotus sighed.

Dae rolls his eyes.
"Hi! It's me, Dae! Hisoka's stuck in there, and I can't open the door from out here, so I was wondering if maybe something's in the way or if you guys could help... at all?"

"...Ehhhhhhh...what's in it for me?" Milk asked.

Dae stares at the cabinet, contemplating if he should really leave Hisoka in there.
"You... get to come out of the cabinet?"

"Fine, I'll help," Milk grumbled. "On the count of three, we'll push from the inside, and you pull. Maybe something sticky got stuck in the doors."

"...Right. Okay!" Dae gets his hands on the cabinet door handles once more. "Lets hope it works!!"
"So, on the count of three... one, two... THREE!!!" He pulls on the door as hard as he can.

The door popped open!
Hisoka tumbled out of the cabinet, falling flat on his face. After readjusting himself, Hisoka sat up, his nose slightly bruised.
"Ah...it worked..."

"WAUGH-" BAM. Dae is injured as well, when his head hits the fancy kitchen island I imagine a big fancy kitchen like this would have in front of the sink.
He groans a bit as he slumps to the ground.

"Oh...good morning, Dae," Hisoka said, forgetting their entire exchange earlier. He let out a small yawn. "...Ah, you came to greet me? That's kind of you..."
|

Post by NIKI on Sept 10, 2023 5:26:58 GMT
"...yeah...hi..." Dae smiles kindly, his eyes glazed over. "...i'm gonna stay here... for a bit..." He sits with his back against the island.
"...so how are you.....did you sleep well?"

"Yes...it's surprisingly comfortable in there once you get used to it," Hisoka smiled. "Why do you seem so dispirited..? You usually have a little more energy..."

"I... I just don't think I should move right now..." He grimaces, regaining a bot of strength. "...I hit my head... um... I guess you didn't see, it's okay..."
Dae's eyes wander to Lotus, the white rabbit puppet, and his eyes begin watering.

"...Oh? What's wrong, Dae?" Lotus asked with a concerned voice. "Tell Lotus what's bothering you! She'll give you lots of good advice!"

"I..." A perfect, sparkling tear falls from Dae's eye. "I have a pet bunny... And, well, Lotus reminded me of her... She's a white bunny too." He wipes his tears with the back of his sleeve, taking deep breaths to regain his composure.
"Her name's Pitaya, but we all just call her Yaya. The guys are taking care of her while I'm gone, but I miss her a lot these days..."
"Sorry for... well, haha! I didn't mean to get all sad like this."

"Oh no! There, there..." Hisoka walked over with Lotus, who placed her fuzzy paws on Dae's face, wiping his tears. Her paws were noticeably greasy, which was definitely kind of gross to experience. Lotus kept wiping and wiping her paw.

Dae shuts his eyes and accepts the kind gesture for a record total time of 5 seconds before he instinctively grabs Lotus and pushes her off his face with slight force. "ALRIGHT- Alright. Please don't touch my face-"
"...Thank you, though. Um, Hisoka, just as a totally unrelated thing, how often do you wash Lotus and Milk...?"

"...Oh...I don't handle that...my puppets wash themselves," Hisoka insisted.

Dae looks like he's about to cry and scream. But he doesn't. "Is that so? I... How does that work if they're attached to you...? Ugh..." He slowly gets up and goes to the kitchen sink to rinse his face off before he breaks out in hives or something.
"How do bunny paws even get that greasy?! Wash them more often!" Dae exclaims rudely as he pats his face dry with a paper towel.

"...Yes, Lotus, I think Dae is right," Hisoka scolded. "You should wash yourself more often. You too, Milk..."
Milk and Lotus stared at each other blankly.
