I don't think squealing, guh, about the appearance of familiar faces around here is a very wise way to spend your time. Tiiiie. Muh.

And watching our television show? Even more useless. The aliens are even more implausible than those on Star Trek. Additionally, I'm rather insulted that the writers seem to think there's nothing more to me than a love of food and an addiction to popular human culture. I am a warrior, they should remember that! Hat.

Have your forgotten your mission to complete this application? Need I remind you that you have failed before? I would like us to succeed at some point. Though I would prefer my superpower have something to do with eating food rather than weaponizing it. Weaponzing. Zing!

It's totally wise.

Television is a waste of time when you can be doing much cooler things, though! Get her to get you into the city, Ax! You'll love it there!

[gorillawarfare]

You saw my hair on that show, right? I mean, at least they didn't give you bangs.

[sixthanimorph]

Lucky you. Some of us didn't have to worry about showing up in that charade.

[Yes, he will be smug forever about this. And who are we kidding? He'll be smug forever period.]

[omnomnombunzuh]

I disagree. Watching television is almost always a wise way to spend time.

Except when it is as bad as this.

She assures me she's working on it, Colette. Let-Tuh.

[omnomnombunzuh]

I would be more concerned about your coat. Ooooat. I would have to consult with Rachel, but I do think big and orange has ever been a good look.

[whatsupcroc]

I don't know, you've got a certain kind of weird priority toward your television in my opinion...

Good! Let her know I'm cheering her on!

[omnomnombunzuh]

[ No patience for your smugness, David. Never any patience. ]

Yes, I'm sure that's a comfort to you, traitor.

It would have been awful, lul, to ally yourself with even more incompetent Yeerks.

[omnomnombunzuh]

It's not weird! It's a vital tool in learning about humanity!

[ SO OFFENDED. Oh my god, Collete, how could you say that about TV?! ]

I will pass it on.

[whatsupcroc]

Oh, so what've you learned about humanity through television so far?

[ She doubts it's gotten any more believable since the last time he knew humans through their media. ]

Thank you!

[sixthanimorph]

[That's okay. See, you don't have a tail blade right now. So he feels free to mouth off.]

Traitor? Harsh. You lick Jake's boots with that mouth?

Turns out I don't need to ally myself with any Yeerks. I took you down just fine on my own.

[omnomnombunzuh]

[ That's fine. He's more than ready to demorph if he has to. ]

Prince Jake had never been sort of leader. Lee-der. If he were, I wouldn't follow him.

Don't be so certain. We've beaten you before. We can do it again.

[omnomnombunzuh]

[ Defensive. ] Many valuable things. Ask any of the others, they will confirm it.

You are welcome.

[sixthanimorph]

[And he'll be ready to run away morph to lion and fight you to the death!]

Oh, don't kid yourself. Jake's exactly that kind of leader. And you're his best bootlicker. Pretty neat trick for something with no mouth.

You never beat me. You tricked me. One on one, I could take any of you. I already proved it.

[whatsupcroc]

Marco, what valuable things has your friend Ax learned from television?

[whatsupcroc]

Okay, I'll do that right now!

[ ... so she asks Marco because David doesn't count as a friend WEIRD HOW THAT WORKS OUT... ]

[gorillawarfare]

Ugh, that coat. I had it blocked from memory. Somehow they seemed to get mine and Cassie's wardrobes mixed up. Oh, the humanity. Bring on the Yeerks but save me from that coat.

[gorillawarfare]

Mainly a lot of dewy stares and messages we can be brought back to.

[whatsupcroc]

I asked and neither of those count as valuable, Ax.

Unless dewy stares generate dew. That'd be kind of awesome!

[whatsupcroc]

Oh he's going down, neither of those are remotely valuable! Except to advertising companies. And corporate America!

[gorillawarfare]

You'd be surprised at what a dewy stare can do. He does have my eyes, after all.

[whatsupcroc]

Not too surprised, I hope.

[ For her part, she's simply amused. ]

You must be so proud!

[gorillawarfare]

It's true. After we get him to stop eating cigarette butts the come-hither technique will be flawless.

[whatsupcroc]

He's going to come-hither all the cinnamon buns away and that's just terrible, Marco, just terrible.

[omnomnombunzuh]

[ How cowardly brave of you, David! ]

I don't always follow orders. Errs. [ The memory of knocking out Jake is, frankly, a little too clear. ] But if that is the delusion you insist on clinging to, I suppose I cannot change your mind.

Oh, I see. When you a launch a cowardly surprise attack, that is not trickery, but when we retaliate, it is. How very convenient.

ufhiudh I LOVE YOU

[omnomnombunzuh]

[ asdfghjkl COLLETTE he didn't think you actually do it! ]

I think it would be a sign of terrible illness, sssss, if my eyes produced dew.

B- Besides, that's not all! I've learned other things!
