*sigh* I'm glad this is over... Mattie? You took some of Fortuna's makeup? Aaaah, I should have figured. Well, it is good that you have learned your lesson. You truly are the bigger person, and I admire that.

~EH?! SHE THINKS SHE'S THE OLDER COUSIN?! I AM OVER 1,000 YEARS OLD--~

Uwaah! Calm down, Eralonia! She has learned!

~*mumble* I don't think YOU know about over 4,162 dimensions, do you? No...~ *walks away*

Any-the-ways... we were able to clean up Morris, and he can come inside now.

{OI! THANK GOODNESS, I'M STARVING!}

Blackie as well. *excited woofing* Who's a good Box? YOU are! YOU are! I am going to take him for a walk. Before I leave, good job to Nobody for making it happen. I believe you have accomplished what you were meant to do well. Although... I wonder why it was you that was chosen? Maybe you are Mattie's closest friend, and someone she truly admires and loves to be around. Maybe you are someone she wants to impress, and make sure that she's noticed.

*crunch crunch* {Or she's just an attention hog.}

UWAAH! YOU'RE EATING ALL THE CHAAAAAAPS!

{You say "uwaah" a lot. And they're chips.}

It's how I scream. You say "Oi" frequently.

{Shush.} *crunch crunch* {Mhph, Scilph, check out this Journal entry. Gret liked the party.}

Wonderful! At least it was not a total disaster... maybe I will throw another one, a PROPER one... with the help of Atlantica, of course.

{*reading Journal entry* *mumble* That sounds like a cute top...}

What was that, Morris?

{N-nothing!}

And I will also preform a duet with @Gretel! I will play the ukelele, and eat Green Tea Pocky, drink cold Green Tea smoothies, and we will have a wonderful time~! But I will hold it somewhere else.

{Hmm?}

Remember when we had the picnic under the big Willow tree?

{Oh, Yeah. The Twisty Tree. It laughs sometimes.}

Yes! I will hold it there! Oh, I am excited! I will invite EVERYONE!

{Alright. I'll help you prepare... I wonder how @*Atlantica* will react to your hair.}

...Ah.. I will just grit my teeth and hope for the best. Pixie cuts are nice... right? I will wear my rose flower crown!

*click*

"ACK! LET GO OF ME- EEP! NOOOOO, NOT MY BEAUTIFUL EYELINER! THAT FOUNDATION TOOK HOURS TO APPLY!"

~We've been able to remove the makeup of others around campus... but we're struggling with Mattie's. We've all been smudging mer face with the giant Makeup Wipe... but none of it's coming off. At all! I mean, there are makeup smears on the towelette... but there's still the makeup on her face!~

~We need Nobody... but we don't know what we need her to do! Everyone, keep your closet doors shut... we don't need anyone falling into the abyss. No matter how amazing they look, STAY AWAY FROM THE CLOTHES.~

~Uh-uhm... I need to think over this screaming--!~

"NOOOO, MY PRECIOUS MAKEUP! I WON'T BE BEAUTIFUL WITHOUT IT! I'LL LOOK HIDEOUS!"

~Augh, I can't hear over this--~

~!!!~

~Nobody! I KNOW WHAT YOU NEED TO DO!~

("Huh?")

~C-COMPLEMENT MATTIE! TELL HER HOW YOU THINK SHE IS WITHOUT MAKEUP! REMIND HER OF ALL THE REASONS YOU'RE HER FRIEND!~

("What?")

~H-HURRY! THE DIMENSIONAL RIFT IS OPENING! W-WE'LL GET SUCKED IN! YOU NEED TO MAKE MATTIE TAKE OFF HER MAKEUP HERSELF!~

*static*

*click*

~Very sorry about the confusion, @Kristopher. I will explain everything later. And I'll bet you're also confused about the entire "Mattie being my cousin" thing, as I am a 3-foot tall white cat that walks around on her hind legs in adorable dresses... I'll clear this up soon enough. Anyway, I need any type of seamstress we can get to come up to Dorm 667... bring your own needles and thread. We will be sewing some Psychic Makeup Wipes together. Please come before 7:30. Also, everyone, wear any garment of clothing that Mattie has given you. (I know it might be extremely fugly and smells like chocolate and cheap perfume, but bear with me. Would you rather wear that or be naked? )~

~Now, only Nobody do what needs to be done. We will all help cure the rest of the school, but only Nobody can cure Mattie. I do not know how, but... do what you can, Nobody. I believe in you. Just... just be yourself.~

("Alright. Do you have any sprinkles?")

~I have a couple of Sour Salmon ones. They're in the pantry.~

("Thanks. I forgot to bring some with me...") *footsteps*

=Feh... got any Kitty Treats? I'm hungry. I snack a lot before impending doom.=

~Sure, Claude. Also in the pantry.~

=Thanks.= *footsteps*

UWAAAAH! DID ATALANTICA SAY SHE WOULD BRING CROISSAUNTS?! ATLANTICA'S BACK?! HOORAH! SOME WONDERFUL JOY BEFORE AN APOCALYPSE!

~It won't be an apocalypse. Think she'll like your hair-- AH.~

Hm?

~I think we should be more worried about the dimension growing in her closet.~

UWAH! I-I will alert the Nurses!

~Mattie started early... which means we have to start early. SEAMSTRESSES, SEW FASTER! WE HAVE A DIMENSION TO DESTROY!~

*click*

~AHA! I KNEW IT!~

Knew what?

~IT ALL MADE SENSE, IT ALL PIECED TOGETHER! THIS WAS THE FINAL SHRED OF EVIDENCE! HAHAHA! Ooh, now I can finally be the bigger person! I can finally do this! I'm right! I was correct all along!~

About wh--

~Oh, but the poor girl... putting up this facade for so long... I will make her feel better. Because I am the older cousin!~

Please explain, Eralonia.

~Not now, Scilph. I'll explain later... right now, I must get Nobody!~

*click*

I am very scared for the upcoming "Dimension Pocket Crisis" that will happen... Eralonia tried to look into the futures to see it, but only saw static. But she knew it would occur at 7:30 tonight, right when Eralonia tries Green Tea, Walls wins at Explosive Scrabble, and Claudette sets a curtain on fire. Eralonia refuses to let me take down the curtain, as it will affect the future.

~It will! Such a paradox will open that--~

I really like this curtain... it is a nice burgundy...

~More of a tawny mauve. ANYWAY, we just need to hold our breath and hope for the best. Let's check the guest list and see who we should warn... @Gretel, @Walls, @Nobody, Claude, Claudette, @Kristopher, possibly @Morris, if the makeup gets hacked off off him... Mattie's coming whether we invite her or not. Miscellaneous part of the list... Gordon--~

Who?

~Gordon? Gordon Gortimer? Don't you remember?~

No.

~Go figure, his power is giving others amnesia... who else... Lupus the "wolfboy" Ventra, the girl with golden wings, a couple of ghosts-- a centaur? Scilph?~

I wanted to add some diversity.

~*sigh* alright... and a few others. Okay. I believe we have no one to provoke even more impending doom.~

Eralonia?

I am fearful...

~... So am I.~

...

~Don't sweat this. I know what Gretel's prophecy means... partly. She's saying how many of us choose to hide our flaws behind makeup, a wall of confidence... maybe to stop her... we need to take off everyone's makeup?~

That sounds plausible.

~Ah... speaking of "taking off"--~

That is a very bad transition. I do not think I want to hear this.

~Just shut up and listen. Mattie said during the "Beautification" our normal clothes will be gone. I think they'll disintegrate.~

WHAT?! I will inform everyone to put on some "fashionable" clothes from Mattie to save us from further embarrassment... Thank you for telling me that. Aren't you going to change as well?

~No. ALL my clothes are fashionable.~

You are so vain.

*click*

I have finished creating the decorations for my party~ It will be such fun!

~I'm excited. Can't wait for this!~

Mhm! I bought this beautiful rose flower crown for the occasion. I feel very pretty with this on~!

~Uhm... Scilph?~

Hm?

~You may not want up get your hopes up about that party. Read this... Mattie's been taking crazy pills again.~

Ah... AHH... OH NO.

~She's... she's becoming Fortuna.~

What?

~I know how this will work. She'll create the pocket dimension... happy with it at first, but it won't be good enough... she'll want to make it bigger, a permanent dimension... she'll get trapped, and then--~

~The circle will continue.~

How do we stop her?

~...~

~I don't know.~

Uwaaah... my beautiful tresses... *sniff* GONE! All four feet of my hair has been lopped off of my head... and all I am left with is a measly... evenly trimmed... pixie cut! This is *sniffle* awful! I have been growing my hair out since I was born... and now they were cut away from my head on one foul swoop! It all happened so fast... *sniffle* Mattie, this was your lowest. I am truly pained by... by this... horrid, horrid crime you have committed! There is low, there is rock bottom, and then there's the core of the Earth!

*sniff* I am not crying. I have mascara in my eye.

I was able to wipe off the remains of makeup on my face. I feel less... heavy... without it. *sigh* but I cannot regrow my hair. *sniffle* let's... let us not talk about that for now. I-I guess... I like this cut... now? Maybe...?

An-anyway.. uhm, something else to talk about... oh, how about this! My electrical powers have gone under control. I occasionally make lights flicker, but no more power-outages! I am proud of myself. Morris has been helping me. Oh, and I can also read minds... but I can only do it when I TRULY need to know something. It happens when I least expect it. I cannot control it. What else... I can summon ghosts. I brought Morris here. I can do more ghosts... but I do not wish to. It makes my stomach feel very ill, seeing ghosts besides Morris. It just reminds me of--

Never mind.

Ah, uhm, something else... normal powers? Talents, I believe... uh... I can play the ukelele! Hold on a moment... *shuffling* *ukelele strum* I know a few songs... they are all from Steven Universe. If you would like to listen to me, or have a duet, I would be more than happy to sing with you! Now, let's see, other talents... I can... watch TV very well? I can find many theories (especially-- uhm, only) on Steven Universe. Am I addicted? I am not addicted. It's normal. OH, I AM ALSO GOOD AT ART! I enjoy drawing very much. Whilst listening to soft, gentle music. Loud noises make me cry.

Morris says I get along very well with others! I do enjoy making friends... and Eralonia says I am a very good cook... I love Green Tea. I make that a lot. I should have a party--! Even though Atlantica does it... I'll do it for her! Just because Attie is gone, does not mean there should be a lack of parties! I will throw one tomorrow-- I will play the ukelele and drink Green Tea and watch Steven Universe and draw~! It will be much, much fun!

Oh, thank you for listening, listeners! Talking has truly lifted my spirits. I am joyous now... I will begin preparing for my party!

Goodbye!

*hack hack* ~*loud coughing and wheezing*~

M-Morris-?! Where are you-- GAH! Blush in my eye.... yecch, and lipstick in my mouth. The wounds will take long to heal... who knew Mattie was capable of this. Ripping away half the hair on my eyebrows is a horrible method of torture.

~I can only imagine what she could have done to me! Oh, my beautiful fur...~

*cough* I cannot find Morris.. before she fled, Mattie put up a- *cough* -a blush smokescreen! Everything in our living room is now pink... *clars throat* MORRIS! WHERE ARE YOU?! MORRIS--

{*wheeze* Sc-Scilph...}

MORRIS! Oh, my God! Y-you look awful... you have mascara in your hair...

{*weak chuckle* R-Right back 'atcha. Your face is red.}

From the blush. She was merciless. A-are you alright...?!

{Scilph... I d-don't think... *cough* think I'm gonna make it...}

No, no! You cannot go like this. You must stay strong...

{*wheezing* I-I can't... she stabbed me...}

What?!

{In the stomach... tweezers...}

Morris, nooooooo!

{I will see you again... *wheeze* in another life... BLEEEEEH I'M DEEEAAAAD!}

NOOOOOOOOO! Oh, Morris, a stale biscuit to the end...

{I am not a stale biscuit.}

~While you two were being so dramatic Mattie would be jealous, I made breakfast. Who wants sashimi?~

I DO!

{Yecch, raw fish. But first, I gotta wash this makeup outta my crevice...}

~Too much info. Too much info.~

I call dibs on first shower!

*click*

*THUMP THUMP THUMP*

{She's coming.}

I-I can't do this!

~You'll be alright. You can make this. I believe in you both!~

Wh-why me?! Why us?!

*THUMP*

{We can't control fate.... we just need to get this over with. We will survive.}

Morris...

{And if I somehow die again, I will only let you die in my arms.}

*THUMP THUMP*

~She's here.~

("I-I-I-I-I-IT'S MATTIE!")

*CRASH*

*click*

{Lord have mercy upon my well-rested soul. Mattie is coming over... to give Scilph and I a makeover. This is NOT happening. and on PUBLIC TV?! How did she do that?! *sigh* This is ridiculous. Eralonia, can you-- Eralonia.}

~Yes?~

{Do you have the TV turned to channel 13?}

~...Maybe.~

{Eralonia, oh my god.}

~What? I just want to see how it'll turn out. And I know you'll say I can see into the future, no, I can see POSSIBLE FUTURES. Only when I actually see it happen can I tell if it is THIS future.~

{...Alright. Hey, does Scilph know about this?}

AUGH! NO NO NO NO NO! WHY MUST THIS HAPPEN TO ME--?! I HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG! Morris, help me-e-e-e....

{Sh-sh-sh... it'll be okay... don't worry...}

Y-you're *sniff* just sa-saying that... wait, does make-up even apply to you...?

~It does.~

{Shush, Eralo. That was one time.}

What?

~One night Morris got drunk, he found someone's make-up and slathered it all over him. Probably Mattie's. I had to wash it off his--~

{HUSH NOW, ERALONIA!}

Wonderful. Now we will be doomed together.
