Summary
Silently, you choked on your spit. You would’ve dropped the fucking liquor bottles in your arms if you were any less careful. It didn’t take any sort of concentration to recognize that voice. Anybody in TV World would know that voice blind.
Quickly, your head shot up. You made eye contact - or, well, kind of - with the lone customer. So, your ears hadn’t been deceiving you. It was him.
____________
Or, you own a bar in TV World. You get a special visitor and try not to lose your mind about it. He doesn’t make matters any easier when he repeatedly visits you.

Summary
It’s a CRT television, the kind with buttons that control everything down at the bottom. Usually, you don’t use a light to find the buttons. You just run your hand along the bottom until you find the first one. That’s the power button. The TV itself is a bit broken. The antenna has a piece of cloth holding it in place, and there’s a small crack at the bottom of the screen that you only really notice when the TV is on. Still, you got it for free from a neighbor. And despite the wear and tear, he works like a charm. Tenna, they called him. It felt weird to call the TV by the name at first, but soon enough it became second nature.
Reader got an old busted CRT TV from a couple of teenagers and is really starting to love it. Though, as they fall asleep, they slip into the Dark World. [Alternate universe where the Dark World doesn't have to be reached through a fountain and just kinda exists separate from the Light World.]

Summary
"In case you didn't know," MC speaks after a while, forming a scoopful of bubbles into a beard on their face. "I can wash my own hair. Crazy, I know right?"
"Oh," Casper sighs dramatically and rolls his eyes. "Can you really? Because using the cheapest shampoo you could find from the supermarket is not washing your own hair."
"It gets the job done."
"Clearly not if your ends are splitting like a tree branch."
"Ouch."
A list of observations MC has made about Casper now that they live together.
(they/them for MC)
