  • Jongler is the last to join
  • i just really love the Mikes and Jongler specifically so I wanted to write them a backstory
  • Jongler uses they/them
  • Battat and Pluey use he/him
  • these guys are big stupid and i love them
  • they think this Zapper they found is dead for a bit
  • but no one actually dies so i took off the major character death warning to avoid confusion

  Summary

  Why is this Mike’s job? Why in the world is any of this Mike’s job?? Battat is out in the wastes outside the studio, ‘checking in on’ what seems to be the dustiest place on earth; between the couch cushions. While he's there, though, he ends up finding something weird...

  a.k.a. Local remote gets lost in the couch, and a couple of Mikes find them.

  Summary

  This is a story about what happens after the credits roll. After the day is saved, and your happy ending has been secured. About two people you’ve never met, who one day become as close as siblings, who should have never had an effect on the story. About how the bonds of friends turned family transcend time and space.

  Kevin is a hapless helicopter pilot, Charles’s friend from college, and the big brother Mello has always wanted. Mello is a lonely ex-Toppat, a pyromancer, and the one who saved Kevin’s life. Henry’s journey is over, so what happens now?
