Chapter Text
ReGect bursts into Ze's room, causing Ze to jump a bit. "HEY. ZE. I WANNA TRY SOMETHING."
Ze looks at ReGect, a look of annoyance slathered on his face. "Dude, it's 1:56 AM, what could you possibly need at this hour."
"Better question, why are you AWAKE at this hour?"
"BITCH WHY ARE YOU AWAKE??"
"BECAUSE I FUCKING CAN BE??? You just hate women clearly and you want me to die."
Ze stares at ReGect for a second.
...
"...You're a woman??"
"NO DUMBASS. IT'S A JOKE. I'M A MALE. I'M NOT ACTUALLY A WOMAN. JUST- DO YOU WANT TO TRY MY IDEA OR NOT???" ReGect practically barks at Ze, an angry expression on his invisible face that you can see when the light hits it just right. Ze never really understood how ReGect's body worked... He hopes to find out some day, though.
"Tell me what the idea is first??" Ze says, rolling his eyes a bit at the entity that stands before him.
"Okay. So you know how like, my body makes no sense?" ...Where could Regect possibly be going with this? "Well, I was wondering if I can come out from your computer and you can maybe help me... I don't know... explore my body a bit more in a world where it might make sense?"
"Wait, you can do that? How is that even possible? Or are you pulling my leg here." Ze seems to not believe ReGect all that much, but who can blame him? After everything ReGect jokes about, you probably wouldn't believe him either.
"Do you want me to come out this computer or not man. I'm feeling super discriminated because of you," ReGect says, crossing his blocky arms. "Maybe I should just hang out with Moe instead."
Ze sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose a bit before looking back at his screen. "Fine, come out."
"I'm gay."
"DUMBASS I MEANT OUT OF THE COMPUTER. I ALREADY KNOW YOU'RE GAY." Ze yells at ReGect, though it's hard to tell if he's just joking around or if he is genuinely angry.
"Alright, alright, jeez! It looks like SOMEONE can't take a joke."
As soon as ReGect finishes speaking, a black, clawed hand comes out the screen of the computer. The computer screen has turned into static. How is ReGect doing this? Ze rolls his chair back a little bit to give room for ReGect to come out, his mouth slightly agape. Why is he surprised? He knew this was going to happen. ReGect gave him a warning and everything, so why is it still such a surprise?
As soon as ReGect gets out of the computer, he stretches a little bit and yawns before looking at his body. His skin is an odd mixture of feathers and fur, some tuffs of feathers tipped with a nice gold color. He's missing a leg, as per usual, but where that leg is supposed is glass shaped to be like a leg. On the inside of the glass is an allium. What is up with ReGect and this small, fluffy flower? More importantly, how does that leg even move? Why is ReGect keeping a small golden chain on that leg? Is it purely for the asthetic? Where half of ReGect's body should be is four, bulky golden ribs, floating in place. How is that even possible? ReGect's body makes less sense here than it doe's in Minecraft! Where there was was nothing on ReGect's neck is now a golden chain collar with black spikes on it. Did he add those himself? Surely if you have chains put on you, they don't just add spikes to the collar. He also has a floating mouth, full of golden, sharp teeth. It looks strong enough to break through skin and maybe even bone... ReGect wouldn't hurt Ze like that though, right?
Ze's wings puff up as he looks at ReGect, a slight blush appearing on his cheeks before he slaps himself.
"HEY, WOAH, WHY DID YOU JUST SLAP YOURSELF MAN??" ReGect exclaims, grabbing Ze's hand quickly. His grip is so firm, yet so gentle. Almost as if he cares about what Ze does to himself...
...
No, that's nonsense.
"Sorry, I was just... Amazed, honestly. I didn't expect you to not be a loser."
"And I didn't expect you to have wings. Why didn't you tell me you had wings?" ReGect asks, letting go of Ze's hand and putting his own onto Ze's wings, stroking the feathers softly. "And damn, when was the last time you preened these??"
Ze looks down for a second, trying to remember the last time. "...Shit, I'm not too sure. Whatever, that's not our focus right now. We're figuring out shit about your body right now man, not mine."
ReGect chuckles a little bit, looking into Ze's brown eyes. "Alright man, but I'm so preening your wings later."
