“…Gonna be honest here, I still haven’t decided what any of y’all’s least favorite superpower is,” Wild shrugs sheepishly, scanning their characters. “And I REALLY don’t feel like doing the squirt-blood-out-of-your-eyes thing.”
“You don’t know what you’re going to write about for today’s daily?” River shrieks. “It’s due in 30 MINUTES, Wild.”
Wild shies away, laughing nervously. “Yeah, yeah, I know… I never get better at this, do I?”
River groans but steps forward decisively, taking control of the situation. “Let me try to think of what my least favorite would be,” she sighs, concentrating.
“I think my least favorite superpower is the ability to constantly witness my author being utterly incompetent,” Rain grumbles from the background.
River pauses her intense thinking. “Wait- that’s it! Rain, you’re a genius! Wild, you can use that!”
Wild blinks in surprise, trying to understand. “So… you want me to be incompetent and force Rain to be subject to it, then write about their experience?”
“Yeah! Or, you know, just write this scene directly. 24 minutes remaining, after all.”
Wild grins. Yes, that would definitely work for them. “Being incompetent but somehow managing to speedrun low-quality work anyway is MY least favorite superpower!”
However, a concern immediately reveals itself to them. “Hold up. I don’t know what to do to look incompetent in Rain’s perspective! How can I get this daily done if I fail at being incompetent?” They lash their tail from side to side in agitation.
“Sounds like you’re fairly incompetent at being incompetent!” River compliments helpfully.
Rain casts a dead-eyed stare at Wild. “It… Really isn’t that hard to make me see you that way. You’re overthinking.”
“But I’m so GOOD at overthinking!” Wild stresses. “I. I guess that’s another ill-favored superpower of mine, huh?”
They reconsider. “Actually, I kind of like my overthinking. It’s sorta funny.”
River nods encouragingly. “Good job! You’re failing to make up your mind! Definitely incompetence!”
Wild perks up. “Wait, so I did it?” The daily’s written?”
“I mean, it didn’t really feature Rain much at all, and she’s the character you were supposed to be writing about. But also, you have 5 minutes left.”
“Oh. Well…,” Wild hesitates. What could they possibly do to fix that? “Rain, just say the last sentence, okay? How do you feel about your least favorite superpower?”
Rain rolls their eyes affectionately. “Y’all are the worst.”
“You don’t know what you’re going to write about for today’s daily?” River shrieks. “It’s due in 30 MINUTES, Wild.”
