Transcript

*David stands in silhouette. He faces away from Justin, who follows along with him.*
Justin: So, Mr--
David: Call me Sergeant Rainpop.
Justin: … … So.. Mr. Pop..

*Justin looks up at David, eager.*
Justin: Where are we going? What IS our mission?

*David, still turned away, responds with a stoic expression on his face. He pictures a blushing dog girl with long, curly hair and wing-shaped hair clips. She wears a tiara and a long fluttery dress.*
David: We’ve been enlisted to rescue.. .. A goddess

*Justin’s face falls.*
Justin: A.. goddess?
David: Yes. I had a vision and now it’s our duty to find her!

*David whirls around and grabs Justin’s arm joyfully.*
David: C’mon, let’s gooo~!
*Justin’s eyes go wide, and he grits his teeth.*
Justin: Urk!!!

*They start to walk away, David still tugging Justin by the arm. David smiles at Justin playfully.*
David: So what’s your name, private?
Justin: It’s..
David: You look like a “Justin”.
*Justin looks at David, surprised.*
Justin: ..!! How’d you know?!

*David taps at the goggles on Justin’s head.*
David: The goggles! They just scream “Adventurer Justin”!
*Justin blushes, frowning.*

*David draws back and laughs.*
David: You’re like if Justin and Blinx the Time Cat had a baby!
*Justin waves his arms frantically and pouts.*
Justin: Are you making fun of me?

*David smiles thoughtfully, holding his chin in his fingers.*
David: Don’t worry.. You look twice as professional as the other new guy around here.
*Justin watches him, unimpressed.*
Justin: Hm?

David: This super scary punk my team recently encountered.
*David pictures Augustus, smirking confidently against a dark background. His bangs cover his right eye.*

*David puts his fist in his hand.*
David: Looks more like a “Sephiroth” or a “Melfice”, I’d say..
*Justin grimaces, confused.*
Justin: A wha?

*David juts out his bottom lip and rubs his chin, in deep thought.*
David: Treats the secretary real nice, though.. It’s sad. Seems like my chief won’t ever get his chance at this rate.
*Justin ignores David and walks away, grumbling.*

*David points at Justin and yells, in Phoenix Wright fashion.*
David: Hold it!
*Justin’s fur stands on end.*
Justin: YEEK!!

*David follows after Justin, pointing and yelling.*
David: You dare leave the scene of the crime?!
*Justin sighs.*
Justin: Oh c’mon! You’re just talking and talking and we’re not going ANYWHERE!

*David points at the bushes behind him with his thumb, a confident grin on his face.*
David: Oh, yeah? Look straight ahead!

Justin: That.. bush?
David: Precisely!

*David’s expression turns serious.*
David: The goddess is near. Let’s jump into the bush.
*Justin’s eyes go extremely wide.*
Justin: WHAT?! But--

*David drags them both into the bushes.*
David: STEALTH MODE ENGAGED!!
Justin: Waiiit!
