Chapter Text
Polkadon’t: Okay, to take advantage of the…
Polkadon’t: I hesitate to call it ‘grace period’.
Utter Cat-astrophe: How about ‘break in the storm’?
Polkadon’t: …
Polkadon’t: Okay, so taking advantage of the break in the storm following Dark Tyrant.
Utter Cat-astrophe: ✩ᗜ✩
Polkadon’t: Don’t push it, kitty.
Utter Cat-astrophe: ✩w✩
Polkadon’t: …I feel it’s best I make an announcement.
Polkadon’t: Since the Reality Check incident with Rikai Agreste, I have officially been assigned as the new Guardian of the Miracle Box.
Polkadon’t: While that doesn’t mean you’re getting permanent Miraculous assigned. It does mean I have more freedom to hand them out, and I will be making use of that.
Polkadon’t: Me and Chat will be handing out Miraculous on a rotating cycle outside of Akuma attacks and will be working with all of you on training exercises and patrols to get you more familiar with your powers as well as experimenting with new ones..
Polkadon’t: I get why the old Guardian was insistent on his original decision of only calling you when needed, but it’s left our only allies in the fight against Hawkmoth with little to zero experience to work with their powers and we can’t really afford that with him upping his game.
Polkadon’t: Shipmaster, Dutch, Revelation. These are just the start of a shift in the dynamic between heroes and villains, and while thankfully it seems that HM still has standards to not make anything like Dark Tyrant, it doesn’t take from the fact our enemy is evolving. So, we need to evolve with it.
Trixx Up My Sleeves: Awww heck yisss!
Trixx Up My Sleeves: I’ve been hoping to see Trixx again! Little guy is my freakin’ spirit animal!
Trixx Up My Sleeves: …oh, and I guess getting to use the superpowers some more outside of life-and-death situations is kinda neat, too.
Lesbeean: wow, way to
Lesbeean: wait, no.
Lesbeean: the fact that your first thought was about being able to see your friend and not about the power the fox gives you is an honestly positive set of priorities. It’s seriously nice to know you care for Trixx more than what his miraculous provides.
Lesbeean: proud of you, Rena.
Trixx Up My Sleeves: …
Trixx Up My Sleeves: I have so many conflicted feelings…
Hero In A Half-Shield: she’s not wrong tho, babe. I’m proud of you too.
Trixx Up My Sleeves: Less conflicted now.
Dem Kitties~: Okay, I’m probably expecting it, but what about me and… Queen Bee? We… don’t exactly have Miraculous?
Polkadon’t: Oh right! Thanks for reminding me, Sabrina.
Polkadon’t: Also as Guardian, I’m making an adjustment to the identity rule.
A Rule has been edited:
No topics that will result in identity reveals, if you can’t keep it vague enough, don’t post it.- Excluding Chat Noir and Ladybug, all heroes are allowed to share their identities with each other if comfortable, that being said, no-one is obligated to share and shouldn’t be pushed to do so.
Trixx Up My Sleeves: …
Trixx Up My Sleeves: I’m Alya Césaire, HOLY SHIT it feels so good to actually let that out on here!
Hero In A Half-Shield: Nino Lahiffe here! Nice to finally say it.
Snake Charmer: You guys have no idea how much it was killing me to not say who I was, Luka Couffaine.
Polkadon’t: I know it’ll probably take a while until you’re comfortable saying who you are but
Polkadon’t: Oh, well just fuck me I guess.
Utter Cat-astrophe: I mean can you really blame them?
Polkadon’t: no, but I thought it’d take them at least a bit longer for them to spill the beans so quickly.
Lesbeean: Well then, guess I should go ahead and spill too.
Hero In A Half-Shield: we know who you are Chloé, you and Sabrina kinda outed yourselves day one in the chat.
Lesbeean: Yes, but I am also Honey Bee, so I figured I should mention that.
Trixx Up My Sleeves: I…
Trixx Up My Sleeves: actually you know what?
Trixx Up My Sleeves: you’ve honestly been pretty chill both here and in your civ-life so I’m not actually upset about that.
Trixx Up My Sleeves: a little surprised, but not upset, glad to have you on the team, HB.
Lesbeean: yeah, sure, whatever.
Hero In A Half-Shield: wow, don’t sound too enthused now.
Dem Kitties~: Oh Chlo’s currently tearing up with a big watery smile right now and muttering about how she’s happy you don’t hate her.
Lesbeean: BABE! don’t out me to the group chat like that!
Utter Cat-astrophe: Relationship Goals.
Polkadon’t: shush, kitty.
Polkadon’t: Anyways, to answer Sabrina’s question, I’m actually thinking of assigning her one of the other miraculous. Both in the sense of the utility of the miraculous itself, but in how I know she’ll use it.
Dem Kitties~: …wow…
Dem Kitties~: Thank you, Ladybug I’m… I’m really honoured.
Polkadon’t: trust me, you’ve more than earned the chance.
Lesbeean: so, what’s my Sabrina going to be sporting in the fight against Hawkmoth?
Polkadon’t: Well, after some deliberation, and some feedback from Chat and the Kwami, we agreed Sabrina would work best with the miraculous of the Dog. it holds the power of Adoration which holds the innate ability ‘fetch’, allowing the holder to mark a target to then later retrieve no matter where it is.
Polkadon’t: It should be a good way for us to hold onto important items or work around getting an Akumatized Object without needing to play a risky game of tug-of-war with the transformed individual.
Lesbeean: hmm. Yeah, I can see it. Sabrina’s always been able to support me and provide what I need even when I don’t deserve it. The idea that her reliability and eagerness to help will be a great benefit to the team sounds wonderful.
Trixx Up My Sleeves: And seeing Sabrina dressed up in a form-fitting cute puppy girl super-suit isn’t part of the reason you approve?
Lesbeean: I plead the fifth.
Trixx Up My Sleeves: We’re not in america.
Lesbeean: anyways, none of that matters unless Sabrina is actually willing to take on that kind of role in the team, and I won’t push her to do it either if it’s not what she wants to go for.
Dem Kitties~: …
Lesbeean: …Sabrina?
Dem Kitties~: Gimme a sec.
Dem Kitties~ has changed her name to: Sweater Puppies~
Polkadon’t: ?!
Utter Cat-astrophe: HOLY SHIT! *wheeze*
Hero In A Half-Shield: No hesitation, god damn.
Trixx Up My Sleeves: I WAS DRINKING WATER YOU CAN’T JUST DO THAT!
Snake Charmer: heh, give it an 8/10.
Lesbeean: …
Sweater Puppies~: …c-chlo?
Lesbeean: …
Lesbeean: I’M
Lesbeean: SO
Lesbeean: FUCKING
Lesbeean: PROUD
Lesbeean: OF
Lesbeean: YOU!
Sweater Puppies~: E
Polkadon’t: E?
Utter Cat-astrophe: probably was meant to be ‘eep’ or ‘eek’ before Chloé tackled her and… physically expressed her approval.
Hero In A Half-Shield: lol.
