[o] This Is Stupid

[Scratch is a naturally curious and suspicious entity, particularly to things he is not sure of. And the gift under that gaudy tree in the living room, wrapped in green and addressed to him, is very suspicious. He already was returned his strength for becoming a reclusive, stingy and ill human for that week,

[And Feferi's just passing through on her way delivering presents, and the synchronized - and loud - chiming of the clocks makes her jump, dropping all her things in the process.]

...what the everglubbing shell is that?

[suckers]

[Scratch barely hears Feferi through all the noise, but does end up turning his head toward her direction. He'll have to shout to get through all the chiming though.]

Clocks!

[So many clocks.]

[dreambubbly]

More than I've ever seen. What the glub are you going to do with all those clocks?

[suckers]

Not sure just yet. I think they wanted to play a joke with giving me all of them at once.

[dreambubbly]

Well, there's always breaking them if there are too many.

[suckers]

[He is just
going to give her
a look.

The blank and yet serious kind that says "touch even one clock and I will end you".]

[dreambubbly]

What? It's not like you can fit all of them into one hive.

[She's touching a small one. Just picking it up and looking at it. No intentions of breaking it, she's just teasing him.

[suckers]

[He scoffs and turns his look away from her. Though in the next moment the clock in her hands will vanish in a green flash, and reappear a couple feet away from her on the ground.]

I realize that much. But, you don't break something just because you have nowhere to put it.

[dreambubbly]

Whale, just stack them up. Make a clock tower.

[suckers]

Well now you're just being silly, little Witch.

[dreambubbly]

Come on! It would be fun to make. And it would keep things timely around here.

[suckers]

Oh and here come the time puns, just like clockwork from you.

[dreambubbly]

But your own was only a second later. There's always a minute or two for wordplay, right?

[suckers]

If you waste too many minutes, you will find that they will quickly tick from one to sixty.
