[yesterday was a very busy day. First Teddie hallucinating all over the place, and it turns out that was because he drank the milk. Then when she went outside, she encountered these horrors. Somehow, she's learned that's what happens if you don't drink the milk.

So, it stands to reason. She's pretty eager to see that the milk gets drunk.]

[947 Beulah St.; morning]

[Rin is the first one up - that is to say, she didn't go to sleep, but you couldn't really tell by looking at her. The milk goes on the counter. She stares at it a moment, then picks up a bottle.

She's a robot, what's the worst that could happen? She's pretty sure she can't be poisoned or drugged.]

Well, bottoms up! ♪

[Not finding it necessary to breathe, she chugs it all down at once. She barely feels the spider's little legs brushing her throat as they go down.]

See! That wasn't bad.

[oh, but look! There's a spider or two that managed to cling to her esophagus and start to scuttle of her mouth.]

-- KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! ♪

[her scream is very loud, shrill and piercing. It wouldn't be surprising if the whole street heard it... anyone who walks in on Rin will find her batting them off her face and generally flailing.]

[Phone; about an hour later]

[Rin's managed to calm down. Maybe it was just a couple spiders, yeah? The worst was over. Now she just needed to call and address another issue - after all, she wasn't at all happy about her Len-doggy being liquidated.]

Uh, is everyone else hiding in the house yet? I have a b-bit of a question... um. ♪

Do ... pets come back to life? Someone killed my puppy, and I just. Want him -

[she's trailing off, distracted. By what, you ask? Well, the spiders she swallowed are apparently still very much alive, and have recovered from getting tossed around in her body. They're starting to crawl around in her stomach.]

- Ugh! Suddenly, I'm like...

...

No! Oh no! Oh, this is so GROSS!! Aaaghhh!! ♪

[she continues to panic. What will you do?]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

R- Rin-chan! What's wrong?

Th-th-th-the!! ♪

[She's pointing at a huge spider on the ground with one hand and covering her mouth with the other.]

Ahhhhhh!

[He very helpfully joins her panic, but also steps on the spider. So that one's dead, at least.]

Wh- where did that come from?

I-It crawled out of my FACE! ♪

Out of your face?!? They can do that?

They're not supposed to!! ♪ They must have been in the milk...

Seriously? That's- that's horrible! How can we get rid of them?

[He's a little frustrated.]

I don't get this place at all. Why would they tell us to drink the milk and then put weird things in it?

Because they're terrible people. ♪

But what can we do to get rid of them? There must be something!

I don't know if there are any more spiders on the ground... we can throw out the milk bottles now that I drank one.

But someone has to drink one, or they'll go crazy and start melting puppies... ♪

.......

[There are several seconds of shocked silence.]

That's what happens when no one drinks the milk? They melt puppies?!?

[He just. Does not even.]

[well, you don't see Rin's puppy around do you...]

Yeah! Plus, I think all sorts of insane things could happen... the milkman is some kind of magical sadist. ♪

S- so.... we're gonna have to drink the milk.... all week?

I ... guess. ♪

[she's not happy about this either, obviously.]

What if.... what if we just pour it out? If we get rid of it, how would they ever know?

Mmm... ♪

[well, it makes sense, but reality isn't exactly logical in Mayfield. Is that a risk they can take?]

Well, I don't mind trying that! ♪

[Lenlen's already dead, so what does she have to lose?]

Okay! It's decided. Tomorrow, we'll just pour all the milk down the sink, and leave the empty bottles outside.

[Or he'll sleep late and Yosuke will wind up drinking the milk. But it's the thought that counts.]

[no it is not the thought that counts, tomorrow is razor blade day

but they can still be energetic about it!!]

Yeah! After all, who would drink it after it had a spider? ♪

Exactly! And I'm still not sure what was in the milk I drank...

Well, I don't know either, but you were acting like you were on crazy pills. ♪

Really? I don't remember a whole lot from that day......

Well... You thought the wallpaper was alive, and then you ran off to god knows where. ♪

Was it foggy? I remember a lot of fog...

It's not really foggy here ever.

Never? Not even after it rains?
