I AM ON THE RADIO

Deet deet deet, boop boop beep boop. But-tons but-tons...

[The video comes on but it's just a shot of the top half of his helmet and the sky above because he's holding his comm like a walkie-talkie.

He puts on a 'authoritative' voice.] Hello. Yes. This is Captain General Fourth Class Caboose. I need you to deliver to me at least fourteen new friends, stat. ASAP, and...BYOB. NASDAQ. Over and out and in, amen.








[...the video continues with just a shot of his armored foot on a grubby sidewalk and his voice further off.]

OH MY GOD FRECKLES LOOK! An outside party!

[A grating mechanical voice answers:] Hostiles detected.

Dude! Mabel's great!

...Also, seventeen sisters? What?

[buildsfriends]

YOUR SISTER IS MAYBELLINE? Okay, that's okay then. She is pretty great.

[ursawhiner]

Yeah, she is!

...How did you meet her already, she was right here.

[He yells offscreen to where he thought Mabel was.]

MABEL?

[buildsfriends]

MABEL WHERE DID YOU GO? [helping]

[ursawhiner]

Please stop yelling. If you see a girl with a bunch of pigs, that's her.

[buildsfriends]

Okay! I'll tell her to go home right away. [no he will forget immediately]

[ursawhiner]

You don't have to do that! I was just surprised she left so suddenly.

[buildsfriends]

Is it your job to know where she goes? Yeah, Red Team does that. They're not great at it. Donut is always going places without telling anybody. You should probably get a radio, that helps with finding people. [helping 2.0]

[ursawhiner]

Well, she's my sister. We kind of do stuff together.

...And we're on Blue Team.

[buildsfriends]

OH MY GOSH REALLY

I HAVE TO GIVE YOU A TOUR [caboose a tour of what you don't even know if blue base exists here]

[ursawhiner]

[This guy is so enthusiastic. It's a little scary.]

I think Wash said we could come over sometime and he'd teach us how to use our laser camera.

[buildsfriends]

I can do that! [He cannot do that] I put my best friend into a laserface once. It was neat. [ok that he actually DID do]

[ursawhiner]

By best friend, you mean Church, right? Laserface...?

[buildsfriends]

Hover Church grants the wishes and dreams of children across the nation.

And shoots lasers from his face.

[ursawhiner]

Y'know, I can totally believe that here. I mean, I've got a laser.

[buildsfriends]

Still? Man, I thought lasers were just SO overdone. Like, five years ago EVERYBODY had a laser.

[ursawhiner]

H-hey! It's not like I chose my powers!

[buildsfriends]

Everybody definitely does NOT laugh at you.

[ursawhiner]

Dude! That's totally uncalled for! Besides, I don't need superpowers to be awesome.

[This child's self esteem is so fragile, WHY CABOOSE.]

[bestever]

[WEARY SIGH.]

It's a long story.

[ursawhiner]

Wait, you actually had a laser?

[buildsfriends]

LaserFACE. But he was just a face? So mostly he was a laser with sometimes a body.

[ursawhiner]

That sounds really creepy and gross. Please tell me you're not talking about a human face.

[buildsfriends]

[angry gasp!] IT IS REALLY RUDE TO CALL SOMEONE CREEPY AND GROSS, DIPDOP!

[ursawhiner]

I don't want to think about someone's face just floating around!
