"Bestie, please," Ewron said, his voice already a booming rumble that could be heard three plots away (somewhere, in spawn, Nexe's ears raised then pressed back down with a sigh as he continued checking his work). "Look at this fucking-Look at it! It hurts my eyes to even stand near this... this thing!"
"Excuse me?!" Katie gasped, instantly bringing a hand to the lapels of her suit. She blinked rapidly, her lower lip trembling as she tried to force tears to fill her eyelids; the ram horns shifting on her skull, replaced by now floppy doggy ears, "Bestie, you are literally breaking my heart right now. It is a masterpiece! Y'all should thank me for all I've done for this community."
"IT IS A PINK BOX WITH MISMATCHED ROOF TILES, KATIE!" Ewron yelled ignoring the crocodile tears (is not as if they were new; the changeling was well known for them) "It looks like some bullshit! It is so ugly that it is actively lowering the property value of the entire district! The land prices are crying! Ja nie mogę- I am genuinely worried for anyone on this island looking at this and dying because it's SO UGLY!"
"You are just a bully!" Katie cried out dramatically, stomping her hoof down. "You want me to feel bad so I stop my inter- imper- wait, what's the word- BUSINESS drive!" She huffed out a frustrated sigh, crossing her arms over her chest; if it weren't for the happy wiggle of her tail, you would think she was truly angry. Ewron knew better. "Say three nice things about my building right now or I am telling Don you're being mean!"
"NO! I WILL NOT!"
Just then, a familiar figure started strolling past the plot, looking entirely deep in thoughts as he mumbles to himself in quick Polish.
"MULTI!" Katie shrieked, her voice shifting from 'tragic victim' to 'overexcited pup' in a second. "Multi, get over here! Help me!"
Multi blinked, his train of thought completely derailed. He looked at Katie, then at a very red-faced Ewron, and then reluctantly walked over, a nervous, high-energy laugh escaping him. "Uh... hi guys? What is... uhh... what is going on here? Everything- everything good?"
"Multi, tell this man that my building is beautiful," Katie demanded, moving to stand right next to him, peering up with wide, pleading eyes (which he avoided).
"No, tell this craze woman this is atrocity!"
"He's trying to make me tear it down. He's being mean!"
Multi looked up at the building. His brain, usually capable of complex nuclear physics, completely short-circuited.
Okej, Ewron wasn't wrong. It was a visual war crime. It looked like someone had just used all the blocks they had and called it a day; mismatched textured and colours were everywhere. He had seen the use of textures and tones before in other buildings and they make it look pretty.
Katie didn't.
But Multi also knew better than to cross Katie B when she was in a dramatic state.
He shifted on his feet, letting out an energetic, slightly frantic chuckle, his hands waving as he searched for the English words. "Uh... well... you know... it’s... Kurwa, it’s... uhh... it is definitely like... a thing! You know?"
"Multi!" Ewron barked loudly, stepping closer. "Don't lie to her! You have eyes! You actually build! TELL HER IT IS AN EYESORE!"
"It's... uhh... it is not an eyesore!" Multi blurted out quickly, waving his hands defensively as Katie started whining, "It- it has like... uhh, unique character! It's, how do you say... abstract? So artistic, yeah."
Katie immediately beamed, looking smugly at Ewron. "See?! Multi gets it! You're just a hater!"
Ewron just stared at Multi, a look of profound, loud betrayal crossing his face. "MULTI!"
"What?! It has a lot of personality!"
"Co ty pierdolisz?! Personality?! It looks like a-"
A quick set of footsteps cut him up. Ewron raised his sword, then paused and his ears lowered from their frightful stance.
From around the corner, a small egg with white bear ears came sprinting into the plaza. Nacho had a steel knife casually held on his little hand. The moment he saw Multi, he let out a joyful squeak and changed directions.
He quickly pulled out a sign, scribbling on it with furious speed before holding it up high:
DADA
"Nacho!" Multi’s previous exhausted voice shifted to a delighted high pitched voice as he dropped to his knees, opening his arms. "Hey, buddy! what are you doing here?"
Nacho turned around in a quick circles, crouching up and down rapidly, before running over to Multi and hugging his leg. Then, the little egg turned his head towards Katie.
The Egg paused, looked at Multi, looked at Katie, and then excitedly whipped out another sign, thrusting it right into Ewron's face:
MAMA
Then another sign,
MAMA AND DADA TOGETHER
The zone went dead silent for a fraction of a second as Nacho did the club penguin emote.
Multi’s jaw dropped, glancing at the red panda. "Wait—Nacho, no... uhh... no, no, no—"
Katie, realizing the absolute goldmine of chaos that had just fallen into her lap, instantly leaned into it. Her eyes lit up as she dropped into a high-pitched, incredibly doting baby voice. She knelt right next to Multi, opening her arms toward the egg.
"Oh, my baby! Sweetie... you caught us!" Katie cooed dramatically, her voice dripping with affection. She reached out to gently pinch his little ear. "Look at you! You are just the most adorable little sucker, aren't you? Yes, you are! Come to mama, you precious little thing!"
Nacho blinked, completely thrilled by the extra attention, and began to hop up and down even faster, tilting his head happily.
Ewron’s brain completely stalled. He looked at the egg leaning into Katie's doting, then at Katie, and finally at Multi, who looked like he wanted to dig a hole and hide in it forever. A rare, uncharacteristic flush of sheer, indignant shock crossed Ewron's face, and then he exploded.
"CO?!" Ewron screamed at the top of his lungs, his voice cracking completely. He threw his hands up in the air, practically vibrating with fury and jealousy. "CO TO MA BYĆ?! MAMA AND DADA?! SINCE WHEN?!"
"Ewron, wait... like... it’s not like that... uhh... ja cię błagam-" Multi stammered frantically, raising his hands in a total panic, his English completely breaking down as he tried to untangle himself from both Nacho and the situation. "It is... uhh... a misunderstanding! Like... totally!"
"I KNEW IT!" Ewron snapped loudly, stepping right into Multi's space, his chest puffed out. "First you defend this hideous, ugly piece of garbage building, and now this?! You are compromised, Multi!"
"IT'S PLATONIC!"
"PLATONIC?! HOW IS THIS PLATONIC?!"
Nacho, sensing the loud, angry voices directed at his favorite people, immediately pulled out a fresh sign, holding it up with an aggressive stomp of his foot:
DO NOT YELL AT DADA OR I STAB
He pulled out the knife Multi had given him time ago, as Katie chuckled.
"See? Even our perfect eggy defends my architectural vision," Katie purred smoothly, standing back up and smoothing down her outfit, completely enjoying Ewron's absolute meltdown. She patted Nacho affectionately on the head. "Good boy, Nacho. Tell the loud panda to leave our beautiful building alone."
Multi sighs again, wishing he could just make Katie shut up, for the panda wasn't letting go of his frustration with her but on him. He glares at the redhead, who right at that moment had the ram hoofs, her favourite horse tail but little white panda ears at the top of her head as she kept making those baby noises at the dancing egg.
The scene could almost filter out the screams from Ewron.
"KURWA MAĆ -!"
Almost.
