“Oh miiiike~! I have a new segment i need your opinion on!! Come here! Now!”
Battat heard tennas loud and OBNOXIOUS, silly voice. “Shit.. whos mike today?”
Jongler and pluey were busy doing their own thing, before pluey responded: “🎷🎷🎷🎶🎵🎼🎺🎷🎵🎷🎼🎷🎷🎵🎵🎤”!
“OH of COURSE its me! You twos don’t even do anything! Pluey doesnt even have to talk! And.. I don’t even know what tenna does to you.” “Oh, tenna usually jus gets distracted by the light on my head a forgets, so I aint gotta do notin!”
“YOU TWO ARE THE L-“ “MIKE!! COME HERE!”
“SHIT I forgot about that ok I’ll go- COMING MR. TENNA!!”
“Finally, you’re here! I was 𝒮𝒰𝒫𝐸𝑅 excited to show you this!” Tennas nose bloomed a pink and yellow flower in joy and happy! “Is that why you yelled REALLY loud for me to come here after only 3 minutes of waiting?” “Precisely!” Tenna wagged his tail.
“Whatever, just what is it you want to show me?”
“Wwweelll, I was thinking we put in a hypnosis segment! Yknow, cuz it’s ɑׁׅ֮ᨰׁׅꫀׁׅܻ꯱ׁׅ֒ᨵׁׅ ꩇׁׅ݊ꫀׁׅܻ ꯱ׁׅ֒ɑׁׅ֮υׁׅᝯׁꫀׁׅܻ!“
“And you called me here because..?” “I well, wanted to test it on you! And that’s what Mike is for, helping the boss!”
“Well- I don’t-“ Tenna had already shrunk 3 times his size at “don’t”, the flower on his nose wilting. “OK FINE!! I’ll be your little “test subject”.
“ ๏ђ ฬ๏ฬเє ฬค ฬค!” Tenna grew back to his original size and grinned. “Ok, let’s get 🇸🇹🇦🇷🇹🇪🇩❗“
A spiral pattern emerged onto his screen. “Just stare deeep into this spiral.. feel yourself getting more and more tired the longer you stare..” (battat thought “this is bullshit, but whatever”.)
But to their surprise, they actually started to lose their train of thought as he stared. “Thaaats it, just drift for me..”
After about 5 minutes, Tenna thought he was FINALLY ready to see if it worked! “Ok, hmm.. command ideas.. I KNOW! Mike, if your REALLY hypnotized, say “I love tv!”
“Ii llove tv…” Tennas tail started wagging upon hearing this, for 2 reasons. “W-well I gotta make sure.. s-say it again!” “I love tv…” “again.. say it again.” “i love tv..”
Tenna started to shrink a little bit, antenna pinned back. “S-say it again. Say your gonna keep watching tv.. say you love tv and you won’t stop watching it, even- even if it bores you, or- or i-if it isn’t good enough, say you’ll stay..!! Please..” “I’llll neever llleave.. I’ll keep watching…”
At this point, the spiral had been flickering, going from static, to the spiral, and to a crying face for about 30 seconds, while the trance had been losing its effect. Battat stared at Tenna, who couldnt even see them because he was crying too hard.
“..hey boss..?” “…” “i think this uh, this would be good for the show. Good job.” “OH GREAT!! You can go back to the mike room now, byeye!” Tenna dismissed mike, who was a mixed of freaked out from getting hypnotized and sad that Tenna felt like that. “Whatever, i got work to do.”
