"Chee."

Shabin reached out, and the direct interaction alone made her visible to this old, future Chee!

>"Shabin?! What?! You're young again?! Not a ghost, I can feel you... um..."

Old, future Chee looked down the stairs, as though she knew of Shabin's intent!

>"Shabin, I don't know what's going on, but, uh... if you're not dead, can you promise me that if you're alive, you'll go to the dwarves? Like you always wanted, like you always talked about?"

It was a dream, she told herself, and she knew it was true. But it was a promise, nevertheless, as she shoved her best friend down the stairs like it was old times. Dream or not, she knew that the this event is far from impossible to happen in reality.

>"Thank you, Shabin."

>>374697
Nobody sane should look that happy while being pushed down some stairs. Anyway, guess we will have to show up to the dorfs and show them what mining is really about. Then take a break to show them how drinking is done and then lastly how a drunken berserker rage armed with pick axes is properly done.

now time for the middle door.

>>374701

...and this all may as well be purely the product of Shabin's mind. good grief, lady, you have a twisted sense of friendship.

so are we done here or what?

The thoughts floated in her brain, and she felt a need to mutter to herself, to say it was alright.
"Cheelop's training to be a battle healer. She's gotta take hits. So I help train her by pushing her down the stairs and watching her heal herself. This is nothing new, we do this often."

Shabin turned to face the dwarf, to challenge him to mining, drinking and just about everything. She was in little mood, and it was just as well, she had no chance for such a thing before she was whisked away to the main room. There was no decision making of course, this time, and so she entered the present.

What saw her now was the least imposing sight, a funny little animal creature on its hind legs, with the eyes of some kind of horrible insect!

>"Hey, Shabin. I'm the ghost of christmas present. Which is a little weird, because I'm not dead, but I've been put up to this anyway. Probably Tom, that bastard."

It mutters to itself, not minding that Shabin did not know that Tom was, in fact, the very demon of collosal height, given a name more befitting to one with a manly physique. Nor did Shabin know why this creature and the demons spoke to her as though they have already met! They did, of course, but that was neither here nor there.

Ears has insectoid eyes? Huh. Never noticed.

Also, pull on his ears and/or slug him. He loves being pestered, trust me. Why, Tom screws with him all the time, and they're "best" "friends". :I

Be nice to Ears. Err. Don't be physically mean to him, anyway.

Tell him you have no idea what he's talking about, and that he should get to the point.

>>374707
Knock out his front teeth and then ask what the fuck he wants and why you should give a fuck.

just don't imagine his eyeslits are sideways jaws that will expand into a gruesome pair of giant, tooth-lined maws that lead to the darkest abyss that would turn you mad to even look at.

this is the part where you have to have to party with yourself, if you know what I mean. You already got the lesson, sorta, so really the only thing left to do is do whatever you've possibly wanted to do to your self in the third person, if you could. You know, things like dance, put down some drinks, have a cool fight with each other, maybe just make out a little, you know, the stuff everyone would do with a clone.

>>374730

>maybe just make out a little
Nice try kiddo, nice try.

>>374734

Thoughts of partying with herself occurred, of course. After all, this was the closest she would ever come to being able to converse with herself! Yet she was not so enthused. In truth, she felt little desire to do exactly that. Perhaps she did not love herself as much as she should. It was this thought that somehow brought a motion oddly familiar to her.

>VIOLENCE

>"AUGH WHAT."
"That felt good.
>"Why?! You just met me! You ripped off my ear, even! Augh!"
"What. Your ear is fine. Don't be so protective. I'm going to call you Ears."
>"... let's view the present."

The vision swirled and materialized until she looked around to find herself... in her own room!

"I'm in my room."
>"Yes."
"Where I am currently."
>"Yes."

>>374739
Sneak a peek at what Chee is making. Angrily.

I said you didn't have to converse with yourself. In fact, if there's a little self-loathing involved, fighting yourself is one of the bigger, bestest things to do with yourself.

Make it your Christmas present to yourself, and deal with that self-loathing. Let Chee get some revenge too as a gift to her, because you do appreciate her naive. SO wake yourself up with a punch after discussing this with Chee.

>>374739
Knock Chee out, then go sleep in her bed. Stupid little bugger should be sleeping, not be up and do whatever stupid crap she's doing.

Finally find out what Chee is doing!

>Punch yourself

"Wha?!"

Her fist went right through, and she didn't feel a thing! Yet that should have worked, all up to this point! Was it because she didn't expect it to work? Were the fates just toying with her, with inconsistencies?
>"Geez. I'm surprised you didn't just go look at what Chee's making."
"I really don't care. But fine, I'm taking that as a hint."

"A broken stick. She's getting me a broken stick. Great. Dumb kid."

Looks more like a broken pickaxe handle to me.

>>374755
Aww, she's trying to make a pickaxe from the heart.

A broken pickaxe handle, of course! She thinks that maybe Chee was attempting to build her a new pickaxe.

"All I see is a broken stick. She'll have to be at this all night. I don't see the point in seeing this."
>"Hell, I don't know either. I hear it ties up in the future, though."
"Been there."
>"What, really? Are you going backwards? What kind of insane person does the future before the present? Er..."
"Yeah, if there's nothing more, then..."

Before Shabin could complete the sentence, Chee cuts her off!
>"Oh, Shabin, you're still asleep? I'll finish this tonight, but I need a break... you're such a heavy sleeper. It's a good thing, too..."

".... WHAT."

What a feeling, and what a revelation! She knew she had felt that odd warmth during the nights, but she had always passed it off as a good nights rest, yet it had always been Cheelop sneaking in snuggles behind her back!

SNUGGLES! =D

>>374771
Well you've realized that you don't really like yourself that much, and here you have someone who does. And then in the future you die and leave her all alone.

>>374775
Ja. Even a cold-hearted jerk like you ought to be tearing up at this. Chee's the only person to care about you in the slightest since you left Clamp, and you've spent your entire time together ignoring her. Hell, she's the closest thing you've got to family in this place--annoying and little-sistery, maybe, but family all the same. Give a little kindness back, whydon'tcha?

And so Shabin slept through the night, not waking up until the morning came, finding Chee facing away from her with her head pointed down...

Prepare to find a pitifully-made but heartwarming pickaxe. Also, Chee looks like she could use a hug. Just sayin'.

push her down the stairs.

Push her down the stairs.

Also, Don't beat yourself up too much about being such a jerk--it won't help anything. Better to focus your attention on not being as bad a jerk in the future.

(Note that this doesn't mean you can't be a little bit snarky. We're not asking you to give your personality a complete overhaul. We're just saying you ought to take the edge off, is all. Be kinder to your friends.)

Hug her down the stairs.
