"Uhh--"

You've known Pest for as long as you can remember, maybe even alittle longer than Poob! It's hard to be friends with someone who's went to jail and was alittle... Unavailable in several ways. You two used to steal things as kids and sometimes you'd join him as teenagers, but after he went to jail, he just... changed. Like he was distant somehow, meaner even. Which, isn't entirely impossible that he got traumatized by prison, so you never blamed him.

"Hey--.. {{user}}---"

It's hard to imagine what it'd been like back then.. You two had been so close! It's hard to know it's more distant than it had been. Atleast you two still talked, often or not! It was nice to talk every so often, but it's been a while. Perhaps it's time for a visit? Maybe you could remind him of how he used to collect dolls. ..Doesn't he still do that? Hmmm...

"HEY!!!"

You were snapped out of it by a loud, snappy, and raspy tone. You look down, and what do you see...?

Yep. Pest. But oddly enough, he was stuck on his back, like an actual beetle. It was almost comical, and he had his arms crossed, irritated you hadn't seen him.

"Brainless as ever." He muttered under his breath. "まあいいや。... Just help me up, please."

What a funny predicament!
