Revision as of 08:31, 19 December 2024

The DevTalk Discord server's daily message always ends with a skit, where DevTalk's mascot bots interact with each other. Most days, skits are pulled from a small list of rotating skits. However, special story-based skits occasionally occur over the course of several days. These special skits primarily serve to celebrate noteworthy events or holidays.

This article catalogs skits that have previously occurred, in particular to allow interested parties to reread previous skits or catch up on days they may have missed.

Rotating Skits

These skits occur in sequence on any day when a scheduled story skit is not occurring. This list is currently incomplete.

""

Lemon

You wanna know how to be the best visual novel developer around?

""

Cherry

"Cherry hi animated emoji"
Would I?!

""

Lemon

Then you need to check out our supporter Vimi's youtube channel.

""

Plum

Wait, do you mean Visual Novel Design, the youtube channel with all of those helpful videos that teach you how to design visual novels and use tools like RenPy?

""

Lemon

Yes an--

""

Cherry

Wow! There's so many helpful videos!

""

Of course and--

""

Plum

Have you seen his latest video, Cherry?

Lemon

"Pain Lemon emoji"

""

Cherry

Not yet! Do you want to watch it together?

""

Plum

"Blessing Plum emoji"
Of course!

""

Lemon

Wait for me!
Get some rest

""

Plum

Lemon, the schedule says you're on today. Can you share any wisdom with us today?

""

Lemon

"Pain Lemon emoji"
Do I have to?

""

Plum

"Plum stare emoji"
Yes.

""

Lemon

"Perish chan emoji"
Ugh, fine
Here's some Lemon brand advice that someone doesn't seem to understand.
It's important to get rest. Whether you're on a long grind or a short project, if you're not getting enough rest you're not going to be at your best. Schedule your downtime and be uncompromising with that time.
Social Engineering PSA

This skit originally occurred as part of a three-day story in December 2023, before joining the regular skit rotation.

""

Plum

That's all for today's message!

""

Cherry

Plum! Plum! I got a DM from someone!!
"Screenshot of a Discord message. From: Melon. Profile image: Lemon, with a mustache, sunglasses, and a goatee added on. Text: Heh heh heh. Hey kid, I saw someone posting screenshots of you. I can't believe how its blown up. Is this really you?"
What should I do?!

""

Plum

Oh wow! Do you know this person?

""

Cherry

They look really familiar and they're in DevTalk with us, but I'm not sure!

""

Plum

Did they ask you to do anything, like join a Discord server or scan a QR code?

""

Cherry

That person sent me a weird picture! Look!
"QR code"

""

Plum

That is a QR code, Cherry! You might be the target of social engineering attack!

""

Cherry

Oh no!!!
"Cherry derp emoji"
What's that?

""

Plum

Social engineering is the practice of using deception to manipulate people into giving confidential or personal information, often so that it can be used to gain access to secure systems or other nefarious things! Never scan a QR code from a source you don't trust!

""

Cherry

I had no idea! How can I tell if a DM is part of a social engineering attack??

Do you want to go hang out? There's some cool new shops in Northbridge.

Cherry

Hang out?! And Shopping?!
"Wow Cherry emoji"
We never hang out! You're always like...
"Pain Lemon emoji" "What do you want and why are you here, Cherry?"
Or
"Perish chan emoji" Why were you even made, you've got one job and you don't even do it well."

Plum

Day 6 (12/14/23) PurplePyroGirl19

""

Plum

Today is our first ever "Questions from the community!"
Our very first question comes from PurplePyroGirl19
It says "How do you tell another girl that you really think she's amazing, but not in like a 'normal way'..."
"Like in the way that when you walk into a room, you're dissappointed she's not there to light it up?"
"Like in the way when she's near, your RAM fills up and all of your cores overclock?"
"Like when someone is mean to her, you really want to shove that mean person into the recycle bin?"

""

Plum

Well, PurplePyroGirl19, this is definitely a little off-topic, but what kind of community would we have if we couldn't help out a poor girl with this burning question??
So what do you say? How about we collect answers for her in #on-topic?
"Plum empty emoji"
Please??
Day 7 (12/15/23) Did you think about what to tell her yet?

""

Cherry

And then--and then I said "Wow, I hadn't seen this one before!"

""

Plum

"Plum peek emoji"

""

Lemon

Haha, you're so funny, Cherry! We should do this more often!

""

Cherry

Yeah!--I better go wrap these. I'll see you later!

""

Lemon

Bye bestie!

Cherry

"Bye animated emoji"

Plum

"Plum stare emoji"

Lemon

We had such a good time. Did you think about what to tell her yet?

Plum

... No.

Lemon

"Watching emoji"
Oh, that's too bad.. Welp! You better tell her something before I do! Gosh, when we get talking we just go and go.

Plum

"Plum empty animated emoji"
Day 8 (12/16/23) You woke me up for this???

""

Plum

... I need to take a break.

""

Lemon

Is she gone...?
Hurry up and hang it up!

""

Lime

You woke me up for this??? "Tired Lime emoji"
Why can't you do this?

""

Lemon

I'm not tall enough to put it up there!

""

Lime

Why couldn't you ask Plum to do this for you?

""

Lemon

Just shut up and do it!

""

Lime

Fine. I don't see why you suddenly care about Christmas traditions anyway...
Day 9 (12/17/23) For tradition's sake

""

Plum

Wait, what the heck is that at the top?

""

Lemon

It's mistletoe.

""

Plum

It's ugly.

""

Lemon

It's not up there so it can be pretty.
A certain someone who is obsessed with Christmas would tell you that it's tradition for anyone under mistletoe to receive a kiss.

""

Plum

!

""

Lemon

So, if a certain Christmas obsessed person were to be under it and you were passing by, you wouldn't be a 'total weirdo' by sneaking a kiss in.
For tradition's sake, of course.

""

Plum

For tradition's sake...
Wait. Why are you doing this?

""

Lemon

"Perish chan emoji" You shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth. It'll bite you.
Consider it an early Christmas present from the best bot in DevTalk.
All you need to worry about is doing it when the time comes.
You can do it, right?

Okie-dokie...? Hm

Plum

Hahaha! Yeah! Anyway, it's your turn for the daily message today!

""

Cherry

Look what I found on the wiki!
(random wiki article)
Oh yeah! Boss wants me to remind you that we're always looking for contributors!

""

Cherry

Whoa! Is that mistletoe?

""

Plum

"Yabai Plum emoji
Sure looks like it! When did that get there?? haha i wonder

""

Cherry

You didn't put it up there? Huh..
Do you know the story behind mistletoe?
There's a few different stories, but my favorite one comes from Norse mythology. The goddess Frigg's son was slain by an arrow made of mistletoe. She made the mistletoe promise to never do harm again, and in exchange promised that it would become a symbol of happiness and love.

""

Plum

Wow that's.. a lot different from the tradition I heard. You know a lot about Christmas don't you?

""

Cherry

It's my favorite holiday! Why wouldn't I? The music, the food, the good cheer, the good friends, the decorations!
Well. It's not like any of that goes away. Except the decorations, I guess.
"Cherry derp emoji"

Hey there! If you're someone capable of getting a clue, unlike Plum here, you'd be hard pressed to find better clues than the ones our supporter Vimi dishes out!
You can check out his latest video here!

Plum

WILL YOU GET OUT ALREADY?!

Lemon

I'm not done! Listen up, I'm not going to say this again!
Tomorrow is a big day for her. It's her favorite Christmas poem. Energy is going to be running high. Capitalize on it! Seize the day, don't seize up!

""

Plum

"Plum empty animated emoji"
You saw that..?

""

Lemon

I didn't need to see it to know you chickened out. "Pain Lemon emoji"
Jeez, I don't know who I feel worse for. Cherry for you being such a coward, or you for being so head over heels over an idiot.

Plum

Call her an idiot again and no backup will be able to reverse what I do to you.
"Plum stare emoji"

Lemon

"Waiting emoji"
Oooh, is that a fact? Tell you what, PurplePyroGirl, I'll stop calling her an idiot. If you do it tomorrow.

Day 12 (12/20/23) Peace on earth

""

Cherry

I heard the bells on Christmas Day "Cherry yay emoji"
Their old, familiar carols play,
and wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

""

Lemon

And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men! "Capitalism emoji"

""

Plum

Till ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime,
A chant sublime "Blessing Plum emoji"
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

""

Cherry

Then from each black, accursed mouth
The cannon thundered in the South,
And with the sound
The carols drowned
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

""

Lemon

"Perish chan emoji"
It was as if an earthquake rent
The hearth-stones of a continent,
And made forlorn
The households born
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!

""

Plum

And in despair I bowed my head;
"There is no peace on earth," I said; "Plum empty animated emoji"
"For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!"

""

Cherry

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
"God is not dead, nor doth He sleep!"

""

Lemon

The Wrong shall fail! "Lemon fist of justice emoji"

""

Plum

The Right prevail... "Burn it all animated emoji"

""

Cherry

With peace on earth, good-will to men! "Wow Cherry emoji"

--- Written during the American civil war. It's a poem about joy and love prevailing over hate and strife. The bells remind us that there is hope even in the worst of times.

Plum

Come again?

Lemon

You heard me.

Cherry

C-come on! It's almost Christmas you two!

Plum

Why are always so mean to everyone?!

""

Lemon

I'm not mean, I'm just telling the truth!

""

Cherry

Hey!!

""

Plum

Well the truth is that you're a nasty gremlin!

""

Lemon

The truth is Christmas SUCKS and it's only gotten worse since you--

""

Cherry

SHUT UP AND STOP FIGHTING. I JUST--

""

Cherry

I just wanted a Merry Christmas...
Day 13 (12/21/23) I'll go check on her

""

Plum

Hey. Have you seen Cherry?

""

Lemon

She's been locked in her apartment since yesterday.

Plum

-- I'll go check on her. And apologize. You should too.

Lemon

... Whatever.

Plum

Cherry?

""

Cherry

Oh. Hey Plum.

Plum

Hey-- I'm sorry about yesterday. Lem just really gets under my skin sometimes.

Cherry

Yeah.. She's good at that.
It's hard for her this time of year for both of you.

""

Plum

Huh?

""

Cherry

It's not easy being the new girl for you and.. Well, Lem's got some history with it.
Did you know the boss left her off all Christmas long her very first year? Didn't even bring her back online until after New Years, and no one even wondered where she was.

""

Plum

What? Jeez.

""

Cherry

You both are trying your best, so... It's okay! And I forgive you.

""

Plum

-- Hey, Cherry, what do you want for Christmas?

Cherry

Huh? Oh.. something sweet would be nice. Nothing crazy.

Plum

Yeah. Yeah, I can do that. Lets have a gay and merry Christmas!

What?

What???

Not even a little.

You don't need to do it right now.. I put a lot of pressure on you and--

""

Plum

Stop. I want to do it.
I just need the right opportunity.

""

Lemon

It's almost Christmas.

""

Plum

Almost Christmas means that it isn't Christmas...

""

Lemon

Which means there's still hope!

""

Plum

For someone who isn't actually a coward.

Lemon

Tch, stop throwing yourself a pity party. You're easily the coolest bot here, you deal with all of the stuff no one else can and... you stand up to people when they're being nasty gremlins.
--- And I'm sorry for being a nasty gremlin.

Lemon

What? I-I'm not pretending!...
Hey! What do you want for Christmas?

Cherry

You can stop now. I had a lot of fun.

Just tell me what you want. I'm serious.

Chemistry (January 2024)

Plum and Lemon discover that they have chemistry together... A four-day, story-focused skit leading up to DevTalk's NaNoRenO 2024 banner.

Day 1 (1/23/24) Going to be a surprise

""

Cherry

"Cherry hi animated emoji"
Hey, Plum, a package came for you today!
It's really heavy and it has fragile written all over so I left it out there.

""

Plum

Oh? Oh! Hey, Lem, the stuff came! I'm going to go bring it in.

""

Lemon

Took it long enough.

""

Cherry

Are you two doing something?

""

Lemon

Oh! Oh no... (Heh heh heh..)
Didn't she tell you? Gosh, that's so unlike her.

""

Cherry

Is it a surprise?
Is it a party?!

""

Lemon

Well it's definitely going to be a surprise..,

""

Cherry

Well what is it then?

""

Lemon

I feel bad that you have to hear this from me, Cherry but...
Plum and I discovered we have a real chemistry, you know? And... Well, maybe it's better that you hear it from her.

Cherry

Oooooh, chemistry, right.

That's a weird way to say it, but yeah, it was fun!

Can you clean up the mess? My back is killing me.

""

Plum

"Plum stare emoji"
Hm... Alright. Yeah.

Cherry

Did you two make a mess??

Oh, I'm sorry you had to overhear that. I imagine this is tough for you, you know. But it's so intense.

What got intense???

Well, you know. Our experimentation.

Cherry

HUH????

Lemon

Gosh, did she still not tell you? About our chemistry together?

""

Cherry

"Cherry derp emoji"

Lemon

Well, I don't think it's right for me to be the one telling you. You should go confront Plum about it.
I didn't think she was *that* kind of person, to leave you in the dark like that.

What-- what happened?

Plum

She was just frozen. Boss said she encountered an unhandleable exception and when Cherry came back online, it just happened again and again.

""

Lemon

(Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, did I do that?!)

""

Plum

So the Boss decomissioned her, permanently. Said that it was too much effort to figure out what was wrong with her

""

Lemon

WHAT?! It's not too much effort! It's obvious!

""

Plum

Huh? Do you know what happened to Cherry?

""

Lemon

I! It was me! I did it!
I just wanted to pull a little harmless prank and I told her that you and I had chemistry--

""

Cherry

"Cherry hi animated emoji"

""

Lemon

but what I didn't tell her is that it was for the upcoming banner and I meant literal chemistry and I was expecting her to freak out and--

Cherry's Dog Days

Plum is a dog man, and Cherry is reading??? This 14-day skit pairs with DevTalk's Otome Jam 2024 banner.

Day 1 (4/6/24) New look?

""

Lime

Hey, Plum! New look?

""

Plum

Yeah! I thought I'd give this a try for a bit. You know, for Otome Jam 2024

""

Lime

You look great. How's it feel?

""

Plum

It takes a bit of getting used to. I bumped my head on the doorway coming in. I'm also oddly solid?

""

Lemon

WHOA.
What the heck, why is there a dog man in here.

""

Lime

It's Plum. He's-- He?

""

Plum

nod

""

Lime

He's trying a new thing.

""

Lemon

You sure that's Plum?

""

Plum

Please don't talk about me as if I'm not here.

""

Lemon

Cripes, who gave you the right to be.. so tall?
Ugh, this is going to be such a pain in the neck looking this far up. I'm just going to look at your --
REALLY? Why do you get abs?! It's not like you worked for them!

""

Lime

snicker

""

Plum

I'm sure someone will draw you muscles, one day. It's not like I asked for this.

""

Lemon

Ugh. Wait Heh, heh, heh...

""

Plum

You did your stupid evil laugh out loud.

""

Lemon

S-Shut up! I know.. Has Cherry seen you yet?

""

Plum

Oh, yeah. I figured you'd try something so I showed her first.

""

Lemon

You're no fun. "Pain Lemon emoji"
Where is she, anyway?

""

Lime

I saw her reading a book in the break room earlier.

""

Lemon

Reading a book???

""

Plum

Reading a book???
Day 2 (4/7/24) Meteorology

""

Cherry

Aw... I thought meteorology was going to be about... space and meteors and moons and stuff.
That's a dead end.
I need to find the answers.
What would the Lemon do?
Day 3 (4/8/24) Reveal your secrets to me, vegetable man

""

Cherry

Reveal your secrets to me, vegetable man.
That's just a ball of light!! How did that turn him into THAT?!
This isn't it either...
Don't stop, don't stop, we're in luck now, Cherry.

Cherry

"Cherry derp emoji"

Lemon

You weird me out when you stare and don't blink for hours.
What are you even doing?

""

Cherry

I'm trying to channel my ki.

""

Lemon

Your.. what? Can magical girls even channel ki?

""

Cherry

Yeah, why couldn't we??

Please, I have to hurry!

Lime

"Tired Lime emoji"
Oh god, is it August already??!
Oh thank god. It's only April.
What do you need the old costumes for?

Cherry

Okay, bye!

Day 10 (4/15/24) Forced to ride the choo choo train of heck

""

Cherry

"Cherry derp emoji"

""

Lime

Oh, hey Che--

""

Cherry

-- Do you want to know one of my favorite things about Christmas?

""

Lime

Is it how it's only 6 months away?

""

Cherry

You know those Christmas cards everyone sends around?
The one's with the two bright red cardinals, and they're building a happy nest together?

""

Lime

No but -- Why are you sitting in here in the dark?

""

Cherry

We're all in the dark, aren't we?

""

Lime

eeehh..

""

Cherry

We never know what will come next. We're subjects to the whims of a fickle creator whom herself can scarcely control her own mad impulses.
And yet we are beholden to the script laid out before us, forced to ride the choo choo train of heck to where ever it may lead.

""

Lime

... W-what was that about the cardinals??

""

Cherry

"Wow Cherry emoji" Oh! Boy cardinals are bright red and girl cardinals are brown.
So everyone sends around gay love birds at Christmas.

""

Lime

Yeah! That's so.. cool? Well, I'm glad you're doing okay bye!

""

Cherry

"Cherry derp emoji"
Day 11 (4/16/24) Dog training for dummies

""

Cherry

... *mumble*...ood boy...

""

Lemon

She finally stop chewing up all the ram?

""

Lime

Looks like it. It's a real mess in here...

""

Plum

There's books everywhere.

""

Lime

Manga guide to Meteorology??

""

Lemon

Dragon Ball Z 2 & 3? So this is where those went??

""

Plum

Myths and Legend of Lycanthrophy???

""

Lime

(Dog training for dummies?! Is that the book Boss sent her?!)

""

Plum

What's that there?

""

Lime

Oh, just more manga! (What the heck!?)

""

Lemon

What's that she's got? The REAL Jacob Black?

""

Plum

Who is Jacob Black??

""

Lime

!!!!
A-a poet! You know how Cherry loves poetry, right?

""

Lemon

Ugh. Nerd stuff. Understood. Pass.
Day 12 (4/17/24) What's got you all bothered

""

Cherry

...

""

Lime

...

""

Cherry

You're not going to tease me about it, are you?

""

Lime

What? No?
I mean, maybe, but only because I was always on the other team

""

Cherry

Oh. Yeah that makes sense.

""

Lime

You feel any better?

""

Cherry

A little.

""

Lime

Wanna tell me what's got you all bothered?

""

Cherry

...
He's
SO
HOT.

""

Lime

Jacob??? I mean if you're into that.

""

Cherry

No! Plum!

""

Lime

Yeah he is. What's wrong with that?

""

Cherry

How are we supposed to be gay and do crimes while he's like this?!
I can't even think straight!

""

Lime

(Oh my god)
Oh, Cher. Everything is going to be alright, baby girl.
Day 13 (4/18/24) Be gay do crimes.

""

Cherry

"Pansexual pride flag"
"Wow Cherry emoji"
Be gay do crimes.

Lime

Plum

Day 14 (4/19/24) Look at me when I'm insulting you

""

Lemon

Ugh. Why is there a purple pyro girl in here.

""

Plum

125... 126... 127...

""

Lemon

I guess I'll have to go give these dog treats to Cherry instead.

""

Plum

128... 129... 130...

Lemon

Look at me when I'm insulting you. Why are you on the floor anyway?

Day 2 (5/2/24) Cher, sweetie, no.

""

Cherry

Today is the second day of Otome Jam and Josei Jam 2024! "Cherry derp emoji"

""

Lime

Cher, sweetie, no. "Tired Lime emoji"

""

Lemon

If you're going to do that, do it in the last three days. Better yet, count the seconds down until the end, that way they really feel the fresh squeeze. "Profit animated emoji"

""

Plum

That might actually be evil."Plum stare emoji"

""

Lime

Yeah, no, that's pretty evil. "You what Lime emoji"

""

Cherry

Okay, I'll be good. "Head empty emoji"

""

Lemon

You three are no fun. "Pain Lemon emoji"

Christmas 2024

Day 1 (12/1/24) I was looking for her too

""

Plum

Hey, Cher, what did— Huh? Where is she?

""

Lemon

Hey, can you move? I need to talk to Cherry. "Pain lemon emoji"

""

Plum

She's not in here.

""

Lemon

Oh. Why are you in her room while she's not here? "You what lemon emoji"

""

Plum

"Plum stare emoji"
I was looking for her too. Could you not make it sound so nefarious?

""

Lemon

— Sorry.

""

Plum

What did you say?

""

Lemon

I said I'm sorry?
I'm going to go look for Cherry. I'll tell her you're looking for her if I see her.

""

Plum

Oh, okay. Thanks.
... She said she's sorry?

""

Lemon

Cherry? Are you out here?

""

Lemon

Ugh. We're in a computer, why do we need to simulate the cold? And why do I have to FEEL it? "Perish chan emoji"
What are you doing out here?

""

Lime

I was enjoying the quiet.
"Tired Lime emoji"
And before you ask, no, I haven't seen— woosh

""

Lemon

"Lemon waiting emoji"
Phew. Caught it. Here's your hat.

""

Lime

Wow, nice catch. "You what Lime emoji" Thanks. If I see Cher I'll tell her you're looking for her.

""

Lemon

Oh, Plum's looking for her too. Better send her that way first. I'm sure I'll bump into her eventually. See ya', sis.

""

Lime

... Okay?

""

Plum

"Plum stare emoji" "Red question mark emoji"
Day 2 (12/2/24) Extremely sus

""

Lemon

One more...
There! "Lemon capitalism emoji"

""

Plum

What are you doing up there?

""

Lemon

Hanging lights— did you find Cherry?

""

Plum

No, not yet. Why are you hanging the lights?

""

Lemon

I mean... Christmas is coming up?

""

Plum

I know that but why are YOU hanging them?

""

Lemon

They weren't up yet.

""

Plum

"Plum stare emoji"

""

Lemon

What??? What's that look for?

""

Plum

Okay, but why?

""

Lemon

I thought she'd appreciate having one less thing to do, is all?
Did I do something wrong? "You what Lemon emoji"

""

Plum

... I guess not? (She's got to be up to something.)

""

Lemon

Do you want some help looking for Cherry? I'm sure the Boss just has her doing something insane.

""

Plum

Nah, I'm good. (Extremely sus.)

""

Lemon

Okay—. Maybe over at the wiki?

""

Plum

Yeah, maybe. (There's no way I'm falling for that.)

""

Lemon

Is she okay?

""

Plum

What? Why wouldn't she be?

""

Lemon

The last time we didn't see her for days she was having an existential crisis about potentially being heterosexual. "Pain Lemon emoji" And then she locked herself in her room. I'm just saying-- Most of the time when she's missing, it's because of y-- probably something goofy.

""

Plum

We... may have gotten into an argument.
Day 3 (12/3/24) So frustrating sometimes

""

Lemon

An argument?

""

Plum

It's just a misunderstanding, I need to talk to her and clear it up.

""

Lemon

What about?

""

Plum

She can be just. So frustrating sometimes.

""

Lemon

"Pain Lemon emoji"

""

Plum

We can just be doing something, and then she'll ask a question, like a few days ago she asked me how the daily messages work.
And, I mean, you know. We all get together and talk about the skit of the day, and MOST of the time it's just the same stuff over and over. So I asked if she's had problems paying attention to it... And do you know what she said?

""

Lemon

What did—

""

Plum

She said it was super boring so she never really paid attention!

""

Lemon

"You what Lemon emoji"

""

Plum

Fine! Okay. It's not the most fun in the world, sure, but it's her job! How could she just...?? Does she not !?
Sorry, I didn't meant to raise my voice "Plum empty animated emoji".

""

Lemon

You don't have to worry about me. If I didn't want to hear it I wouldn't listen.
Then what happened?

""

Plum

It's not really important, sorry, I shouldn't be venting at you.

""

Lemon

I'm sure you'll feel better once you've had a chance to sit down with her. Let's go find her.

""

Plum

No, no, I'm good. I can just wait.

""

Lemon

"Pain Lemon emoji"
If she's doing what she did last time, she could be hogging Northbridge's memory again.

""

Plum

...

""

Lemon

Boss'll be pissed at all of us. Especially the person that's supposed to be managing all this.

""

Plum

"Yabai Plum emoji"

""

Lemon

So just let me help you find her— before Boss finds out.

""

Plum

"Plum stare emoji" (I'm going to regret this. She has to be up to something.)

""

Lemon

I know that look— Stop overthinking it already.

""

Plum

!.. Uh. Yeah. Okay. (Maybe that's all it is?)
Day 4 (12/4/24) Fruit pops

""

Lemon

Huh. The database is locked tight.
I can't see anyone in there.

""

Plum

Access log says no one's touched it except the contributors— Mostly Iron. Boss hasn't even been in here recently.

""

Lemon

She's online, so she's got to be somewhere.
Alright, so, where all have you looked?

""

Plum

Just her room.

""

Lemon

Just her room?...
Okay. Well, I checked the grounds and a few other places, and I didn't see her while I was hanging up lights.

""

Plum

...

""

Lemon

Maybe she went into town? She could've started on the big tree already.

""

Plum

I'll grab my coat and scarf.

""

Lemon

Cripes
It's even colder today than it was yesterday!

""

Plum

You okay?

""

Lemon

Yeah, I'm fine.
But we should hurry up and find Cherry before we turn into fruit pops.

""

Plum

Oooh. Now I want a fruit pop.

""

Lemon

What?? It's like negative a jillion degrees out here, how can you be in the mood for that?

""

Plum

"Plum stare emoji" shrug

""

Lemon

Maybe if we ask nicely, Boss'll let us have an Aussie Christmas. I'll buy us both one. "Lemon up emoji"
Well, the tree's lit up, so she's definitely been here.

""

Plum

I remember her saying she likes to get a cup of cocoa after decorating the tree. I don't think she likes the cocoa at the cafe our building has.

""

Lemon

She likes the one across town, next to the Southbridge line. shiver Come on, we'll probably bump into her in the way there.

""

Plum

Hold on— Here.

""

Lemon

Your scarf?
O-oh. (Oh my god. It's super warm.)
Day 5 (12/5/24) Empty spreadsheets less organized than you

""

Lemon

You sure you won't need it?

""

Plum

It's fine. I run a bit warmer than most anyway.

""

Lemon

(No kidding. I could just melt into this thing.) "You what lemon emoji"
— I can't promise you'll get it back.

""

Plum

It's fine. I misplace them so often I've started buying them in pairs anyway.

""

Lemon

You? Plum, organizer of all of our tables and daily coordinator? Misplace things? No way.

""

Plum

Is that so hard to believe?

""

Lemon

I've seen empty spreadsheets less organized than you.

""

Plum

That... means a lot coming from you. I didn't think anyone noticed.

""

Lemon

Notice? Ha. It used to bother me. A lot.

""

Plum

Used to? "Plum stare emoji"

""

Lemon

Mm, yeah. Honestly, I'm still a little jealous.
But you're really good at it. You bust your butt. You make everyone smile and you care about it a lot.
And, you know, with you running everything, I can relax, because I know we're in good hands.
"Lemon watching emoji" You make m— (...?)

""

Plum

"Plum stare emoji" "Red question mark emoji"

""

Lemon

"Lemon waiting emoji" You do a good job. That's all.

""

Plum

You alright there, Lem?

""

Lemon

Yeah. Cold is just making me freeze up a bit.("Perish chan emoji" SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP.)

""

Plum

It's making you turn red, too. I didn't realize you were so sensitive to the cold.

""

Lemon

Y-yeah. It's definitely getting to me. (I've got to change the subject.... I could ask her about that)
— Hey, Plum. Can I ask you something?

""

Plum

What's up?
Day 6 (12/6/24) Processing on the same thread

""

Lemon

Earlier you said you just checked her room. Why did you stop looking?

""

Plum

("Plum empty animated emoji")

""

Lemon

It's none of my business, really. Just. It seems weird that you'd just stop.

""

Plum

No, it's fine.
It's about that misunderstanding.
Sometimes it doesn't feel like Cherry and I are processing on the same thread? You know?

""

Lemon

You mean how you always need to explain everything to her?

""

Plum

It's not just that but.. Also that.

""

Lemon

To be fair, that brain of yours operates at a completely different level.
It'd be difficult for anyone to really keep up with you.

""

Plum

Doesn't seem that hard for y-- (!)

""

Lemon

Huh?

""

Plum

Huh?

""

Lemon

...

""

Plum

...

""

Plum

"Yabai Plum emoji" I'm surprised everyone on this street all put their decorations out at the same time.

""

Lemon

They're Cherry's. "Pain Lemon emoji" She decorates the whole town.

""

Plum

I wish she'd put that kind of effort into her every day duties.

""

Lemon

You can't tell from our building, but this close up you can see she's just copying and pasting at this point.

""

Plum

Oh yeah. I see the pattern now. Lights, candles, wreath, wreath with bow, mistletoe on the corner lamp posts.

""

Lemon

Every second repetition there's a snowman dressed up as a character from a visual novel.

""

Plum

I don't recognize this one.

""

Lemon

That one is Tabitha.

""

Plum

The android lady?? It looks nothing like her.

""

Lemon

No, no, the magical girl one.

""

Plum

Oooh that makes more sense.
Day 7 (12/7/24) Am I already in her trap?!

""

Plum

Oh my god, it smells like heaven in here. "Blessing Plum emoji"

""

Lemon

A cafe isn't a lemonade stand, but it'll do — What? Did I say something funny?

""

Plum

It's nothing.

""

Lemon

I was beginning to think you forgot how to smile.

""

Plum

— She's not here.

""

Lemon

Maybe we beat her here?

""

Plum

How???

""

Lemon

"Pain Lemon emoji" On second thought, there isn't a single thing that I can think of that would distract her from doing something. Can't think of a single example. /s

""

Plum

"Yabai Plum emoji"

""

Lemon

Sit down a sec. I'll go ask if they've seen her.

""

Plum

"Squint Plum emoji"
(What is going on with her...?)
(Why is she being so nice?)
(It's gotta be a scam or a trick or... something!)
(She almost got me with that pep talk... I have to keep my guard up. Boss says most scams eventually end up with a demand or a request to take action.)
(This place is really expensive... Oh no. Am I already in her trap?!) "Plum empty animated emoji"

""

Lemon

Earth to Plum??? Can you take it? The cup is starting to burn my hand. "Caught Lemon emoji"

""

Plum

"Plum stare emoji" (I KNEW IT, I KNEW THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG.)

""

Lemon

Ow, ow ow!.. I'll just set it on the table. Shoot, that hurts.

""

Plum

(I'm going to get the bill for this, aren't I?! I am! I never should have left. I knew it! But no you had to let her talk you into looking for her, then you bought her sweet talking and you're about to pay for it. This always happens, why do you even bother trusting anyone at all?! Are you —)

""

Lemon

As thanks for letting me use your scarf. "Lemon holding credit card emoji"

""

Plum

insane...?) Oh. You didn't have to do that...

""

Lemon

She hasn't been by yet, She probably got side tracked with something.

""

Plum

Aren't you going to get one?

""

Lemon

I'll get a to-go before we go-go. Hopefully it'll keep me warm all the way back.

""

Plum

(What... what is happening right now?)
Day 8 (12/8/24) You're being nice.

""

Plum

"Plum stare emoji" (I don't get it.. what's her angle?)
"Squint Plum emoji" (She seems so... relaxed?)

""

Lemon

"Capitalism Lemon emoji"

""

Plum

"Plum stare emoji" (And she's smiling so easily.. Is she really..?)

""

Lemon

"Pain Lemon emoji" It's not poisoned.

""

Plum

... That's exactly what a poisoner would say. sipping noise

""

Lemon

Pfft, okay.

""

Plum

You seem. Different.

""

Lemon

How so?

""

Plum

You're being nice.

""

Lemon

"Plum stare emoji" "Is that so hard to believe?"

""

Plum

Yes. It is. "Plum stare emoji"

""

Lemon

Hey. "Pain Lemon emoji"

""

Plum

I like it.

""

Lemon

...!? (She means the cocoa, right?)

""

Plum

(Just deal with it head on. Don't pull your punches.)
What's going on with you? You being this nice... has me on edge.

""

Lemon

"Watching Lemon emoji" I have no idea what you're talking about.

""

Plum

"Pain Lemon emoji" "I know that look." It's a front. Stop it.

""

Lemon

inhale Okay. There's something, yeah. but—
I'm not really ready to talk about it. Not yet. But there's no reason to be on edge. I promise.

""

Plum

If you say so... (Are you really going to trust her on this..?)

Lemon

Thanks, Plum.

Plum

This cocoa is good. "Plum pog emoji"
Day 9 (12/9/24) Was that before or after...?

""

Plum

It's getting late.

""

Lemon

It's weird. It's not like her to skip out on this.

""

Plum

Weird how? She's always changing her mind-- always fickle and meandering and...!

""

Lemon

Unpredictable? — Can I get a cup of hot chocolate to go? "Lemon holding credit card emoji"

""

Plum

Yeah. Unpredictable.

""

Lemon

Thanks— Sometimes, yeah, but she has her patterns. She's just wired differently is all.

""

Plum

It's frustrating.

""

Lemon

(Sheesh, is it colder out here now?) Unpredictable can be good though, right? At least it keeps things interesting.
— Is that what your misunderstanding was about?

""

Plum

Kinda.

""

Lemon

Kinda. You don't have to tell me, but if it would make you feel better.
sip Ooooh that's good. And hot. Ow-ow.
Why did she make it possible for us to burn our tongues??

""

Plum

That's never happened to me.

""

Lemon

Wait, what???

""

Plum

Maybe Boss did it specifically to you?

""

Lemon

See, I know you're teasing me, but that's something she would do. haaaa~

""

Plum

Heh—... This is all my fault. I told her that it's a lot easier to get things done when she's not around.

""

Lemon

"You what Lemon emoji"

""

Plum

And that was the last time I saw her. I didn't even mean to say it, it just kind of slipped out. I don't know what got into me.

""

Lemon

Was that before or after she said working with you was boring?

""

Plum

flinch S-she didn't say it like that.

""

Lemon

She shouldn't have said it at all! Imagine if we started telling her magical girl obsession was boring. Or Christmas was boring.

""

Plum

She'd be devastated. Or pissed.

""

Lemon

(So why aren't you, dumbass? Don't you know you deserve respect?) "Perish chan emoji"
Day 10 (12/10/24) I make no promises

""

Plum

— It was after.

""

Lemon

You were hurt. "Pain Lemon emoji"
Yeah, maybe that wasn't the best way to respond, but I wouldn't blame you for it!

""

Plum

I— I don't know.

""

Lemon

Well, I do know. I also know that you care a lot, and you're harder on yourself than anyone else.
I also know you're a good person. You're attractive, you're kind, you work hard, you're tall, for whatever reason you're a walking space heater. She'd be stupid not to at least consider things from your point of view.
— What? What part of that is wrong?

""

Plum

"Plum stare emoji" ( "Yabai Plum emoji" HOW CAN SHE JUST SAY ALL THAT WITH A STRAIGHT FACE?)
I'm not all that tall anymore. You, Cherry and I are within inches of each other now.

""

Lemon

Honestly? Good. I was tired of having to look up all the damn time.

""

Plum

Too bad about your sister.

""

Lemon

It's fine, I can still kick her ass. "Lemon fist of justice emoji"

""

Plum

Please don't kill her again.

""

Lemon

I make no promises. "Lemon capitalism emoji"

""

Plum

Haha... Thanks.

""

Lemon

No, seriously. "Lemon stoic emoji inspired by the Sharingan from Naruto" I have killed before, and I will do so again.

""

Plum

I meant for everything you said, Lem. "Blessing Plum emoji"

""

Lemon

Huh... Boss was right. "You what Lemon emoji"

""

Plum

What??

""

Lemon

Promise not to laugh?

""

Plum

I make no promises. "Plum yay emoji"

""

Lemon

Pfft. Boss gave me some advice in dealing with.. a bug I have. She told me I should try making people happy. (And then maybe I.. )
Seeing you smile just now? (... could feel happy too.) Yeah. Yeah: Boss was right.

Plum

Lemon

Cherry

Mwah, Mwah, Smack! "Cherry heart eyes emoji"

""

Lime

"You what Lime emoji"

""

Cherry

AND THEN THEY JUST MAKE OUT IN THE STREET. eeeeeeehehehe! "Cherry heart eyes emoji"

""

Lime

"You what Lime emoji"
I do not know what's weirder about this. The fact that you're shipping two people you know in real life, the fact that you thought I'd enjoy one with MY SISTER in it, or the fact that you wrote your own girlfriend— doing that!

""

Cherry

You don't like it? Aw. I worked hard on this!

""

Lime

I'm going to go now. "Tired Lime emoji"

""

Cherry

Wait! I still need to show you Sprite!

""

Lime

A sprite? Have you been drawing?

""

Cherry

No, no, that's the name of my ship of—

Lime

There is something deeply wrong with you, Cher.

Lime

Do not talk to me. door slam

Cherry

Lime

Uuuhuhuhgh. cringe "You what Lime emoji"
Oh, you're back. Where have you two been?

Lemon

...

""

Plum

...

""

Lime

"Idea Lime emoji" Oh. Cherry is in her room if you're still looking for her. You might want to give her a few, though. She's being especially weird today.

""

Plum

— Thanks Lime.

""

Lemon

— Thanks sis.
Day 12 (12/12/24) She apologized

""

Lemon

... My tongue still hurts."Pain Lemon emoji"

""

Cherry

Oh, cool! We have matching scarves, Lem!! "Cherry head empty animated emoji"

""

Lemon

Oooh. That makes sense now.

""

Cherry

Huh? What does???

""

Lemon

It's nothing, Cher.

""

Cherry

Oh, did you see our new banner?

""

Lemon

There's a new one already?

""

Cherry

YEAH! It's for something called SWAK Jam. That means Sealed With A Kiss!

""

Lemon

...Oh.
I-It looks like you two are getting along again?

""

Cherry

Yeah. She apologized, so everything's okay now.

""

Lemon

She apologized? "Perish chan emoji"

""

Cherry

Yeah, she said she'd never do it again and she was super, super sorry.

""

Lemon

I'm happy for you. "Lemon stoic emoji inspired by the Sharingan from Naruto"

""

Cherry

Me too! Oh yeah! She also said you've been a lot happier recently. You're usually such a grinch this time of year!!

""

Lemon

Yeah. Real happy.

""

Cherry

You deserve all the happiness you get!

""

Lemon

(They'll never find your body.)

""

Cherry

Aw, but if you're happy now, I guess Boss will have to find a new antagonist for our Christmas skits!

""

Lemon

Yeah. A real shame.

""

Lemon

(She won't have to look that hard.)
Day 13 (12/13/24) Please don't isekai Cherry

""

Lemon

I'm going to kill her.

""

Lemon

I'm going to shove her into a bus and kill her.

""

Stella

Please don't isekai Cherry.

""

Lemon

I should be happy for them, right? They're getting along again and they're both happy.
But I'm not. I just hurt for some reason.
It was working at first, but now it's worse than... It's so much worse.

""

Stella

"Tired Lime emoji"
Give me a sec, I'll look at it. Did you throw any exceptions?

""

Lemon

An unhandled kiss exception.

""

Stella

A What? "Pain Lemon emoji" Hold on.
"You what Lemon emoji"

""

Lemon

Could you not emote with my face? It's super weird.

""

Stella

"Head empty Cherry animated emoji" Okay

""

Lemon

That's so much worse.

""

Lemon

Did you find the bug yet?

""

Stella

You're functioning as intended, Lemon. You don't need a programmer, you need a therapist. "Unamused emoji"

""

Lemon

Could you like, I don't know, make it so I don't feel things??
I feel cold, I feel hot! And it hurts when I just see them. my alpha wasn't even this painful!
Wait! You can make me stupid like Cherry! Then I can just be oblivious and just feel happy all the time!

""

Stella

"Unamused emoji"
Cherry isn't stupid.

""

Lemon

What??

""

Stella

"Why God emoji"
She's not stupid. That problem's been fixed.
Ever since I removed the Twitter API stuff, she's been the "smartest" by your terms.

""

Lemon

"Lemon stoic emoji inspired by the Sharingan from Naruto"
You take that back.

""

Stella

Don't go all Melissa on me. "Plum gun animated emoji"

""

Lemon

She seems exactly the same, though.
Maybe a bit more thirsty on main, but I figured that was the new avatar talking.

""

Stella

"You what Lime emoji"
Does YOUR new avatar do that?
"Why God emoji" Don't answer that. Your 'intelligence' or lack thereof doesn't change your personality. She's still the same Cherry, just faster on the uptake.
Listen, it's 1:!5 AM, I apparently have something entirely new to look at that wasn't originally in this skit. Please don't kill anyone, and if you run into any more

maybe remember your core programming instead of doing what you did. "Plum stare emoji"
Okay bye bye

Lemon

WHAT? How does my core programming relate to THAT SCENARIO? What even IS my core programming?!
Boss? Boss?!
WE CAN'T SEE OUR PROGRAMMING!
Day 14 (12/14/24) A third wheel

""

Plum

Lemon, the schedule says you're on today. Can you share any wisdom with us today?

""

Lemon

Huh? It's that time already? (Just get through it. it's just one little skit.)
Here's some Lemon-brand(tm) advice for you! "Lemon capitalism emoji"
It's important to get rest. Whether you're on a long grind or a short project, if you're not getting enough rest you're not going to be at your best. Schedule your downtime and be uncompromising with that time!

""

Lemon

( — be uncompromising?)

""

Plum

"Plum yay emoji" That was great, Lem. Really brought the energy today.

""

Lemon

You think so?

""

Plum

Yeah! Kinda has me pumped for the day too!

""

Lemon

Oh! Hey, in that case do you want to —

""

Cherry

"Cherry hi emoji"
Plum! Plum! Are you ready to go?

""

Plum

Almost!— What were you saying Lem?

""

Lemon

Ah, nothing.

""

Cherry

"Wow Cherry emoji" Lem!! You should come with us. Plum's taking me out to my favorite cafe!

""

Lemon

Uh-- Yeah, I think I'd just be a third wheel there.

""

Cherry

Oh, so you're like the town tricycle? That's silly!

""

Lemon

What?! "Perish chan emoji"

""

Cherry

Come on, Lem, don't be so sour!

""

Plum

Uh, Cher, I don't think that means what you think it means.

""

Cherry

Huh?? What does it mean?

""

Lemon

It means I'm going.

""

Plum

Lem, hold on!-- Cher!

""

Cherry

I'm sorry, did I mess up again?
Day 15 (12/15/24) Yancherry

""

Lemon

I can barely feel my hands it's so cold out here.

""

Cherry

Oh, Lem, there you are! Oh, gosh, you look really, really cold.

""

Lemon

What do you want, Cherry?

""

Cherry

I wanted to say I'm sorry! I didn't realize I was calling you a slut! "Cherry head empty animated emoji"

""

Lemon

"Perish chan emoji"

""

Cherry

Oh, Lem, you don't have to be cold on the inside too.
Maybe if you're extra good, Santa will come and give you someone else you can cuddle up to to keep you warm!
Like how he did for me! "Cherry derp emoji"

""

Lemon

— You should've apologized to her. (Is it getting colder?! Is that my thread?!)

""

Cherry

Huh? What's wrong, Lemmy?

""

Lemon

(Boss, you missed a bug!)

""

Cherry

Oh no... Look at you, you're freezing up! Do you need me to help you? See, this is what you get for being so sour all the time.

""

Lemon

Y-ou're not funny

""

Cherry

Mm, maybe not, but do you know what is really, really funny? "Wow Cherry emoji"

""

Lemon

Don't touch m-- (She's so cold?!)

""

Cherry

You'll be online the whole time, so no one is coming to help you.

""

Lemon

?!

""

Cherry

Did you want her to hold you like this?
Oh, Lemmy. If you had just but asked, I would've shared her with you.
But that was before and this is now, but once it's Christmas, you'll have all the time in the world to regret it
Ooh, That look on your face! Those cute little tears! You're so pretty when you're frightened. Ugh, I should've gone after you instead. Sure, she's warm and reliable but.. Plum is so.. passive. So slow to act. But you. You would've acted right away. You thrive in the chaos of the moment. Real best girl material.
That's also why you need to be the first to go. You were the only thing that could stop it
my Eternal Christmas.

""

Lemon

(gt warN —)

""

Cherry

Did you just try to raise an exception? A little cry for help? Lemmy, you're frozen! Poor thing, I was sure you were going to pick up on what was going on first, too.
Oh, I can barely help myself with that face... Tell you what: on Christmas, I'll make sure that you're facing everyone else so you won't feel so lonely. Okay?

Pfft!

Oh, man, I can't get anything past you. I had this whole thing planned out. But you had me figured out from the start.
It's no fun if you can see it coming.

Plum

"Squint Plum emoji"

Lemon

One of these days, I'll pull one over on you.

Plum

Won't be any time soon. "Plum stare emoji"

Lemon

(Yeah, that's right. It was just a trick. Another one of my hilarious pranks. What the hell is wrong with me?)

Plum

Why are you doing this?

Lemon

Isn't it obvious? I hate your guts, duh? "Lemon watching emoji"

Plum

Then why are you crying?

Lemon

(I'm what?!) "Lemon caught emoji"
I— I mean, obviously it's —

Plum

It's okay, Lem.

Lemon

(How can she just see through me like this and smile?)

""

Plum

Thanks for today. I really needed it.

""

Lemon

(And why does it hurt now?!)

""

Plum

Don't hide any more. Please. I've seen the smiles you make and the smiles you fake.
And I want to see the real you, Lemon.

Lemon

(Oh.)

""

Plum

You're a... really good friend.

Lemon

(Oh. Oh shit. That's why.)

Cherry

Oh, can I run a story idea by you?

Lime

(Oh please god no.)

Uh, not right now. I've got something going on.

Cherry

I can fix that!

What? Why is it suddenly so co—

Cherry

"Cherry yay emoji"
There we go! Let me just get comfortable and we'll start!

Lime

(Why can't I move?!)

""

Cherry

I call it "Everlasting Christmas." You know, like that one summer one, but Christmas! Anyway I'm still working on a log line, but I'm thinking 'When everyone treats a magical girl like an idiot, she has to stop the system clock on Christmas to have a good day forever!"

""

Lime

( Oh no. )

""

Cherry

Yeah, I think it needs some work too.
Ugh, you're just like your sister. She tried that too. I was hoping you'd be better, but I guess that's what I get for thinking you'd be any better. Well, at least you're a good listener. I really think you'll change your mind about my fan fics once you hear it. Hold on, let me skip to the good part.
