    Summary

    Pippins have a reputation around the studio as troublemakers. Dice can hardly be faulted for being unpredictable—but one Pippins is determined to set himself apart by proving his worth as the boss's trusted assistant.

    Or: Pippins feels very strongly about Tenna.

    Summary

    He'd stood out from every other Pippins for as long as he could remember, for better or for worse. Not just physically, what with the green eyes and everything; but even his personality didn't quite match up with the rest.

    Where they'd be tossing thousands of dollars into blind boxes and gacha machines, he'd be trying to design his own clothes or learn a new skill. Where they'd be selling illegal merchandise and getting tossed behind bars, he'd be doing the best he could to scrape by using, to everyone else, "strangely" legal means. Where they'd be crafting money-making schemes, he'd be stringing together new information to try and understand these asinine Worlds they lived in that nobody else seemed to question other than him.

    Really, why WAS he the only one like this? Every other Pippins was exactly the same. Every other Pippins had red eyes. Was there something wrong with him?

    Or, my take on how the green Pippins fell into the role of Mike.
