When the feed switches on, it shows Desco wearing a party hat, her tail wagging fiercely behind her.

"Hello, Desco's adorable subjects! Today, Desco turns five! Therefore, you are required to come give her tribute! There will be cake for all successful tributeers!"

She pauses slightly.

"Oh! Also, Desco now lives at the Shinonome residence, since the rest of her family has disappeared. So come there, got it?"

Desco is busy nibbling at a square of cake, but once that is done (and she's dabbed away the crumbs with her napkin) she grins at Nano before (very seriously) informing her of something.

"Desco likes being here! She is seriously considering digging the house up and using it as her Grand Space Castle in the future!"

There's a slight pause as Desco's voice drops down a little, shyly.

"...does Sis want to live with Desco in space?"

[dekillerqueen]

Then perhaps I will pass by.

[And deliver his gift.]

[tyrantball]

"Yes! You are always welcome to offer tribute to Desco!"

[press_start]

[Ah, yes. T-shirts were something she could get her hands on. Not that she didn't want to try to source for Force Multipliers, if she could figure out if there was such a game mechanism available around here....]

"Mmm, I see. What colors does Queen Desco look the best in, then?"

[all_wound_up]

But all of our friends live down here... wouldn't it be lonely?

[thirdarrow]

Celestia? May it be a land in your home realm?

[tyrantball]

You humans usually call it Heaven! It's where angels live.

[tyrantball]

"Oversized t-shirts have to be white!"

[tyrantball]

"Space is healthy! And Desco used to do part-time work as a Dimensional Gatekeeper, so she knows how to set up quantum tunnels to all sorts of places!"

[all_wound_up]

Could you connect one to my world?

[tyrantball]

"Desco would have to actually go there first."

[all_wound_up]

Maybe we should try to use that Trapezo... thing... sometime.

[dekillerqueen]

Tribute...? Who is to say that is my intention?

[tyrantball]

"The Shining Trapezohedron!"

Desco pronounces the name with no difficulty, beaming proudly.

"Since Desco is a fearsome and adorable avatar of Yog-Sothoth, she naturally has information on all things related to the noisome boundaries of time and space!"

[tyrantball]

There is a long pause.

"...Desco's rules are very firm: no tribute, no cake. But since Desco likes you, she will allow you into her presence, okay?"

[all_wound_up]

Do you know how it works?

[press_start]

"Okay. Desco will be waiting to receive tribute at the... Shinonome Residence, right? See you."

[thirdarrow]

[ Heaven... in Abrahamic religion, the promised realm of eternal life for those of virtue. ]

Why is it the target for your conquest, then?

[tyrantball]

"Not this one! The one Desco knows about is just something that summons Nyarlothothep when light shines on it! So all her knowledge really amounts to is how to pronounce Trapezohedron properly."

[tyrantball]

One: Mommy is there! Two: Big Sis's will is to extend her dominion over all of existence!

[tyrantball]

"Okay! Desco will prepare a slice of cake for you!"

[all_wound_up]

...Oh.

[Nano looks a little downcast.]

[dekillerqueen]

That is exceedingly kind of you, Your Majesty.

[LITTLE DOES SHE KNOW... OF HIS CUNNING PLAN.]

[tyrantball]

SHE WILL COMPLETELY APPROVE OF HIS CUNNING PLAN

when she finds out

"Yes it is!"

[tyrantball]

"Don't worry, Sis! Desco will make a tunnel to your world even if she has to brutally tear down the walls between every reality that exists!"
