[chat I hate that I fw barkbeetle.. but this is kinda a AU of mine where they benefit off of eachother i guess,, hopefully it makes sense anyway G A Y. -✒️]

[Mannequin_Mark's woodworking business has been successful recently! Seemed that the commissions were endless.. while being great for money, it can be alot on his hands. Mark has been trying to figure out how to cut the time as much as he can without risking slacking in the business..when an idea hit him. A scary one, but an idea nonetheless. Ask for help by the bark-eating beetle himself, Pest.]

[Make no mistake, Pest was a natural and holding back his wood eating endeavours; but he always had that scratch that presuaded him. From the way the beetle guest stared at him from across the elevator, Mark knew that he most likely didn't have much days left before he was reduced to a bunch of wooden scraps. The deal allowed Pest to have all the wood he wanted by feasting on his planks and other wood supplies, while Mark gets to skip the lengthy cutting process and only has to sand down the rough edges Pest's teeth make. Its a win win for both]

"C'mon Beetleboy, I'm workin' faster than yer' cuttin'!"

[Mark looked over his shoulder and placed the orbital sander down on the counter and placed the smooth edged wood ontop of the rest. They had a good pile going so far..]
