([Narration of sorts])
---

[The video feed clicks on, and oh hey it's the student kitchens in the background. There's two big pots on the stove and a really big rice cooker over there on the counter and oh hello there's a Bulba in the feed now. He's given up on the effort of trying not to seem really tired, and he seems pretty distracted on top of that.]

In case you were wondering um... Kirby had to go back to Dreamland for a while. Something came up...

[He frowns, looking like he really doesn't want to talk about it and makes a motion towards the stove with his head to switch the subject.]

Oh, uh, if anyone's hungry or whatever, I made some curry and... kind of made too much out of habit... There's both spicy and mild so. People are welcome to it so it doesn't go to waste. It's down here in the student kitchens.

Uh... that's it. Thanks.

[And then the feed cuts off.]

That's... huh.

[Completely boggling is what it was. He refrained from asking if Red was okay with it, since he clearly must have been if Vinnie had actually signed up.]

What the heck did you do to get into that kind of debt with Max of all people?

[Shrug.] Wrecked his tank.

[Vinnie looked like he'd rather not talk about the hows and the whys. Because there was a whole can of worms that would follow, and he really didn't want to open it.

And because opening it would mean that he was basically admitting to remembering everything he did that one crazy week.]

You... wrecked his tank.

[He sounded rather disbelieving. Vinnie you are basically crippled how the heck did you wreck Max's tank. It's a tank. And so Bulba is giving him a rather deadpan stare despite how much he could tell Vinnie didn't want to talk about it.]

[Okay, that look of disbelief had been noted, thanks. Just cuz he was a cripple didn't mean he was totally useless. Although technically that week he had his powers again, but that was besides the point.]

Tank treads. Still costs a fuckload to repair.

[Dude still. THAT WAS NOTHING YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOING.]

Why the... Nevermind. I don't think I want to actually know.

[You were pretty much an okay guy now he didn't want to ruin this image with some sort of weird tank wreaking habits or whatever the reason was. It was probably. Something dumb. Don't be dumb.]

Ehh, it's probably best you don't.

[Soon to be ruined by Max. Thank you, Max.]

I'm just trying t'own up and fix whatever I can. Even if I don't get better... I'll climb back up anyway.

Hmm.

[That is enough curry stirring.]

For what it's worth coming from me... I'm sure you'll be just fine. You're too stubborn not to.

Well... likewise.

Except for maybe the stubborn part. I'm just thick-headed, so s'probably a good thing.

Heheh. Maybe, if it's not getting you into too much trouble.

[T-trouble, you say. How much trouble would you define as 'too much'? Because he's sure that getting into fights all the time sort of count.]

That's... kind've debatable.

[Your moe face cannot save you.]

Oh geez.

[What about this face.]

...

[Awkward clearing of throat.]

Anyways, you'll be fine. Things'll get better.

[Oh okay, maybe that one.]

... Yeah.

Eventually, yeah. [There is a nod as if he needs to affirm this.] Spring's supposed to be about starting over and all that, right?

Like wakin' up to a new world. [Vinnie smiled in agreement.]

Even if everything sucks today, the future's still an inherently good thing.

[Okay there. There is a little smile.]

Then we have some things to look forward to at some point.
