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?"

[ ... ah. ]

I wish you luck with your endeavours.

Won't that cause problems for the other worlds?

SURPRISE ACTION

[dekillerqueen]

Later, Shelly approaches the door to the Shinonome Residence.

With a box that is most definitely cake-sized.

[tyrantball]

"...so?"

[tyrantball]

When Desco answers the door, she manages to keep her red eyes from widening in surprise at the sight of the cake box.

She doesn't manage to keep her golden eyes from reacting, however.

"Oh! Tribute!"

[all_wound_up]

I don't want to go home at the expense of other peoples' homes.

[tyrantball]

Desco's frowning a little.

"...Desco doesn't understand."

[all_wound_up]

That isn't fair to the people who live there.

[tyrantball]

Desco looks at Nano and blinks several times.

She takes a small bite of cake and chews for a while, thinking.

She looks back at Nano.

"...Desco still doesn't understand."

[all_wound_up]

It isn't right to hurt other people or destroy the places where they live just because they happen to be between you and something you want.

2/2

[tyrantball]

"...Desco can make her eyes glow?"

[all_wound_up]

[Nano pats her on the head.]

...And it would make me sad if you solved the problem that way.

[Gotta go with what she understands.]

[tyrantball]

"Oh, okay!"

That gets through to her, at least.

[all_wound_up]

Good girl. Now let's finish this cake.

oh god sorry this is kind of late

[dekillerqueen]

That is entirely too many eyes and Shelly feels like he may never get used to this kind of thing.

"Once again, happy birthday, Your Majesty." With a courteous little bow, he hands her the box.

s'alright!

[tyrantball]

"You're a tricky one!"

Desco's tone is approving as she accepts the box and hands over a party hat.
