[The screen clicks on to a super close up of Pabu's face. The little fire ferret sniffs the screen, then turns a few circles and plots down right on top of it.

Fire ferret butt. Just the way to start your day.]

What do you think, Pabu? I'm not losing my gorgeous figure, am I? [Bolin hmms and hawws.] Of course not.

[a moment of hesitation] Still, maybe you should eat the last biscuit.

[Pabu chitters and jumps off the device to go gobble the last of the biscuits, and you can finally see Bolin. He's standing in front of the mirror in his room, posing and making muscles and oh, yeah, only in his underwear.

Left arm muscles? Looking good. Right arm muscles? Oh yeah, baby. He turns around so he can see how his glutes are doing in the mirror, and that is when he notices the tablet on his bed.

On.

Recording.

He covers his crotch and turns bright, bright red. Oh no oh no oh no oh no.]

PABU! WHAT DID YOU -- [Off-screen, the fire ferret is no help whatsoever. Traitor. Bolin's panicked and frozen and it takes longer than it should for him to think of grabbing a pillow and covering the device.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Bolin has donned his mustache, which has the power to make him unrecognizable to whoever's looking at him. (Literally.) (He's also put some clothes on.)]

I'm sure dat zis is as embarrassing for him as it is for you, madam.

Eh?

[She squints into the camera. Hadn't someone else just been there?

And what's with this accent...] I'm not embarrassed. [She crosses her arms in front of her chest.] He should just be more careful with his video option...

Are you his brother?

Who, me? [AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA nervous laughter] I do not know zis man! I am simply guessing that perhaps he had been looking at his device earlier and then innocently left it on his bed WHILE IT WAS TURNED OFF and it was in fact his fire ferret who is responsible for zis unpleasant situation.

Fire...ferret? [That red panda looking thing?] Oh! That cute little animal.

[She'd been distracted by beefcake, to be honest.] If you say so... [WAIT.]

Are you sure you don't know him? What are you doing with his tablet?

I. Uh. Found zis. On the ground. It was probably dropped by his fire ferret.

Uh-huh.

[She doesn't appear convinced. Something's weird going on...] Whatever you say.

........OKAY FINE. [He still has the mustache on, but he's dropped the fake accent. By this point, the weapon's power is waning enough that while it still feels wrong, Utena can probably figure out that it's still Bolin.]

THIS WHOLE THING WAS AN ACCIDENT.

I knew it! What's with... [She's starting to laugh, sorry Bolin.] What's with that dumb mustache?

It's not a dumb mustache! It's my weapon!

That's your weapon? What did you pick that for?
