"Wait, you're leaving again?" The Titan asked the Warlock as she and the Hunter prepared to leave the base.
"We are simply going out for a little while." She answered him as she put a newly cleaned glove on one of her grey hands as she walked out of her room and into the hallway.
"What's a 'little while' though?" The Titan whined, following the Warlock.
"I [i]mean[/i] a little while." She answered him once again. "Roughly an hour or so."
"'[i]Or so[/i]'?" The Titan repeated with disdain. "That means you could probably be gone [i]forever[/i]!" The Warlock sighed.
"Titan, we won't be gone 'forever'..." She assured him as they continued to walk through the halls until she had reached Markus' guest room.
"Hunter!" The Warlock called to him through the closed room door. "Hurry up!"
"Cool it Floof, I'm comin'!" An equally irritated voice called back.
____________________________
"Okay dude, now you know the ropes..." The Hunter said, finally finishing introducing Markus around the base and its rules. "Now you know, you can hang out or whatever..." He shrugged before taking a small stretch.
"Alright." Markus smiled at the Hunter, nodding. "Thanks for showing me around the place!" He thanked him.
"Yeh, don't sweat it." The Hunter replied dismissively as he began to head out the room.
"No, I mean it!" Markus insisted, laughing lightly. "It's really nice, the whole thing that you're--"
"Can it, Nerd Number Two, I've heard it before." The Hunter cut him off as he completely exited the room, the door sliding closed behind him, leaving Markus to himself.
Markus couldn't help but smile to himself.
____________________________
"What am I supposed to do while you're gone...?" The Titan asked the Warlock sadly as they both conversed on one of the living quarter's two-seated couches. The Warlock sighed, crossing her arms.
"I don't know, Titan. What do you normally do while I'm gone...?" She asked him. The Titan put his hands close to his chest.
"Wait for you to get back..." He answered truthfully. That's really all he did. Wait for her to get back.
"Ti--" The Warlock began, until the Hunter came into the quarters.
"Okay, Nerd!" He called to her. "Let's blow this lemonade stand!" The Warlock huffed, standing up now.
"[i]Stop[/i] calling me that!" She barked at him as she made her way towards the base's exit. The Hunter only chuckled, following her lead.
"'Kay, Big Guy, there's some food in the fridge for ya, of your [i]own[/i] portion." The Hunter called to the Titan as he stood near the exit with the Warlock. "If you eat [i]our[/i] food as well, you're gonna get it!"
"Please don't do that [i]again[/i]." The Warlock pleaded as the exit door slide open. "Make sure you attend to our guests, as well!" She added as the exit door slid open, both the Hunter and Warlock walking out.
The Titan sighed as he watched the door slide closed.

Markus sighed happily as he flopped down onto his soft bed, nuzzling the side of his face into one of the pillows.
Suddenly, he felt a chill up his spine as a shadow whisked past his bed. Markus immediately shot up from his bed, looking around his room; nothing, nothing was there.
"Huh..." Markus breathed as he lied his head back down onto his pillow, trying to shake off the feeling that [i]something[/i] was looming in his room.
Suddenly, a gloved hand covered his mouth; he was right.
"We're just gonna do a switcheroonie real quickie, okay?" The voice told him quickly.
____________________________
"Hm..." The Titan mumbled as he lied down in his bed, holding a frame with the Warlock's photo in it.
[i]Still pretty...[/i] he thought to himself as he brought the frame to his face and gently nuzzled the photo. After tens of seconds of face cuddling, he abruptly stopped, setting the frame near one of his pillows as he sat up in his bed.
"Maybe I should give 'em a call..." He said to himself, primarily interested in calling the Warlock. "Ghost, you wouldn't mind, would you?" He called out to his Ghost, who briskly appeared after mere seconds of being called.
"W-we could try, but I don't think it'll work..." The Titan's Ghost moped. "Here goes..." He quietly said before trying to locate the Warlock's Ghost communications. "I think... I found it!" The Ghost announced happily, which was definitely rare, but that happiness was short lived. "I don't think you'd be able to talk for long, I think they've traveled pretty far..." The Ghost told the Titan. "I'm... I'm so sorry..." He finished, drooping low as he returned to his depressed self. The Titan caught the sad Ghost in both of his hands.
"Hey, it's okay!" He comforted him. "We'll just leave a message!" The Ghost looked up at the Titan with his one eye.
"I mean, I could [i]try[/i]. Wh-what would you wanna say...?" He asked him.
The Titan thought for a moment.

Markus sighed. "I don't know why you want to do this, Cosm0..." He told her with exasperation, holding all of his belongings in both of his hands. "Can't you just stay in your room...?"
"Nope." Cosm0 simply answered as she walked out of Markus' former room, finally finishing putting all of her belongings inside. "I need this!"
"Fine, fine..." Markus sighed once again, not interested in getting into an argument with her, especially about something that he had a [i]idea[/i] about why they were switching bedrooms in the first place.
"Oh, one more thing!" Cosm0 said before running into her former room, grabbing something and walking back out. "I'll just throw this on my bed and we'll have our new rooms!" She said excitedly, holding a large pillow in both of her arms. A body pillow; of the Titan.
"You have a [i]body pillow[/i]?" Markus asked her. Cosm0 nodded excitedly.
"Yuh-uh! [i]Double sided[/i]~..." She said with a hint of showing off in her voice.
"But... Why--" Markus began, but Cosm0 quickly cut him off.
"What I do in my spare time is none of your business, you know!" She argued defensively.
"How did you even [i]get[/i] that, though?" Markus asked her, still unable to wrap his mind around Cosm0's obsession to the point of getting a [i]body pillow[/i].
Cosm0 chuckled. "I have sources."
