6th Episode [Video]

[bamboozler]

[When Panda wakes up, he knows right where he is immediately. He has those same wings that aren’t quite cute enough for a panda. He recognizes where he is, too. He’s not far from the same building he lives in. Yep, everything is normal so far...except it’s a bit hotter than normal. Maybe he accidentally hibernated? That would explain why he’s been dreaming about home for so long! Almost like he’s been back for more than a few months. But that would be silly.

Of course, if he needs food, he has to check his room. And when that’s empty, he head’s to Shinji’s place. It’s also empty. He almost goes into Pilouette's room, but that's just asking for a vacuuming and it's too hot for that. That’s when things go from bad to worse and a panda who doesn’t know he’s been gone addresses the network. For those who know him might recognize that he’s a bit quieter than usual. That won't last long.]

...Shinji-kun is gone. It doesn’t look like he left anything behind.

[Translated: Shinji isn’t home right now. There’s no bamboo at all. Despite the video being on, Panda is fixed on something in the distance instead...]

I'm sure he doesn't want us to be sad, even if he looks like he is all the time. Instead, he probably wants us to talk about me. [The panda sighs dramatically. It's so tough, being comforting...!] It's getting really hot really quickly, isn't it...? That's not good for my fur at all. Eh...it's so much effort to be cute sometimes.

[He looks down at the journal recording him...is he sad? It's hard to tell sometimes, but he sure looks sad. Before he closes it, he makes one last confession.]

I'll be in Shinji's bed if anyone needs me. I don't really feel like walking anywhere, so someone should bring me some bamboo, right?

[And then he shuts the journal and turns to look at Penpen-san, a pretty clear indicator that Shinji isn't back home. They can make their own fun now that Shinji is gone.]

[ooc; forward-dated to a sane time on the 5th!]

[Panda was in Luceti for a while. And now he's back. And Beat is the first person to make him kind of angry so quickly.]

I'm not a robot! Maybe you're a robot! It takes one to think they know one.

voice; 1/3

[skaterbrain]

[Beat is a special flower like that, yup.]

W-!! I ain't a--

[Wait, what if the crazy talking panda was right?! He has to think on this.]

voice;

[skaterbrain]

Well....

[It does take one to know one, so that's good logic. Even if it's coming from a panda.

But does that make him a robot? He thunks his head once with his fist and it sounds normal and not like metal at all.]

voice;

[skaterbrain]

[WAIT NO, HE'S GOT IT.]

HA! I can't be no robot 'cause I'm dead an' robots can't die!

voice;

[bamboozler]

[Wait. That's really weird. Panda stares down at his journal for a long time before shaking his head.]

I'm very sorry for your loss.

voice;

[skaterbrain]

Naw, it ain't no big. We gonna win the Game an' come back t'life 'cause Phones is damn good at his pins and then I'm gonna punch the Composer in the face. So it's all gonna be coo'.

[bamboozler]

[...................]

Are you feeling alright...?

voice;

[skaterbrain]

....Yeah? I'm kinda hungry, but I'm aight.

....You?

voice;

[bamboozler]

Ehhh...there's someone really strange talking to me. I don't know what he's saying, and I don't what to do with him...it's really a bother.

[guess who that is]

voice;

[skaterbrain]

[Nope, not getting it.]

Man, that sucks.

So, why can you talk anyway? 'Cause if you ain't no robot, then you just gotta be a panda, right?

voice;

[bamboozler]

[Beat :| ]

Ehhh...it happens all the time.

I've always been able to talk. Maybe pandas just don't talk to you because they don't like you?

voice;

[skaterbrain]

[Wat :|]

H-Hey! I ain't my fault they don't talk where I'm from! Shibuya ain't got pandas walkin' 'round anyway!

voice;

[bamboozler]

So how do you know they don't talk? Have you ever tried talking to a panda before?

voice;

[skaterbrain]

'Cause if they were gonna talk, then they'd probably be on TV. An' I watched a lot of TV at home.

[BEST LOGIC]

voice;

[bamboozler]

Ehhh...but no one really watches the news, right? You probably just missed it.

voice;

[skaterbrain]

Oh. Yeah, guess I don't watch that 'cause the news's borin'.

[How are you convincing him of this, Panda....how....]

Aight, my bad. Sorry, bro.

voice;

[bamboozler]

It was your fault all along, so it's okay!

[Is that an "it's okay" or further harassment...]

All pandas can talk, though...not just me.

voice;

[skaterbrain]

[Wait, what? B( RUDE

Too bad he doesn't really get it at first.]

Then why they sit in the zoo all day? Don't they wanna, I dunno, travel or somethin'?

voice;

[bamboozler]

Ehhh...I only work at the zoo twice a week. I spend the rest of my time relaxing in other places.

voice;

[skaterbrain]

[Oh, it's a job? Then, wow, they really should get out of there more often. Who wants to do a job???]

Where's a panda go to relax? Ain't you guys pretty relaxed already?

voice;

[bamboozler]

I can relax in lots of places! I can relax at the beach, in my own house, at the café, even in the back of a car.

voice;

[skaterbrain]

...Are cars all that comfy? I hate sittin' still that long when I gotta sit in the back.

[bamboozler]

I'm comfortable everywhere I go. I can sleep anywhere...!

[skaterbrain]

Tha's some skill there, yo. Is it 'cause you got so much fur?

[bamboozler]

My fur is very cute, but it's all about really wanting to sleep.
