“I don't know what happened here either,” one of the Synergetics wrote carefully on the letterhead. “But to answer your question: I have a hunch. Sparkles had realized that one of the new church members had accidentally left the bear cage open after changing the kitty litter, which consisted of shredded pamphlets titled 'How to win at arsenal'. All the strong bears had escaped, and SY4 was just a bunch of pussies. Maybe that was the reason the mighty Sloth left? Sparkles is just farting around here confused. That's all I can tell you!”
The Synergist rolled the letter up small, tied it to the foot of a carrier pigeon and sent the animal off to the chronicler of the bracket in city 652.
______________________________
The increasingly uncertain situation in the city of 641 caused thin nerves among the leadership and a hissy fit for Stabby.
She could no longer control herself, tore open the window and shouted in the direction of 652: “BLACK! You! Yes, exactly you! It's all your fault!”
“Me again“, Black moaned, ”I'm always to blame for everything. What does she want from me again?”
“I know all your secrets! And I'll tell everyone!” shouted Stabbyunicorn, beside herself with rage, ‘I even know your biggest secret that no one can know!’
The Thunder brothers ran excitedly to the windows. It promised to be interesting!
“You're out of your mind!” yelled Black back, ”You just can't lose with honor, that's all!”
“I didn't lose! I have won! Real friendship! Feelings! A family!”
“You've lost your mind more than anything!”
“And you have ugly toes!”
“What?” asked Black, dumbfounded.
“Ugly toes! You have ugly toes! I have proof!” screeched Stabbyunicorn, ”I have photos and screenshots, and I can send them in the Discord to anyone who wants them! Thunder wouldn't look at you with his ass if he knew what ugly toes you had!”
“Can I have the photos?” asked Thunder with interest.
“Anyone who wants them can have them! Black has the ugliest toes in the world! The feet pics she sent you are fake! That's her biggest secret, which she's anxiously trying to hide from everyone!”
Black was speechless, and that was a damn rare occurrence.
Instead, the Thunder brothers stepped in for her in a comradely manner.
“And you!” they shouted over to Stabbyunicorn, ”have a horn on your forehead! People who have a horn on their forehead can't be trusted!”
“Your Lady Evelyne even has two horns on her forehead!” Stabbyunicorn raged.
The Thunder brothers were flexible: “People with two horns on their foreheads can be trusted! Not people who only have one horn!”
“It's obvious that Miss Overarchiever must have two horns on her forehead,” Zax hissed angrily at Evelyne, ”Miss 5-Star House must always have one more than everyone else!”
“What's wrong with you again?” Lady Evelyne hissed back, ”You've been so poisonous lately that I don't even know what's going on!”
“You've become such a bloody striver, damn it! We used to do things together all the time in 656. And now? You hardly have time for me anymore. You hardly talk to me anymore. You probably only talk to important people, huh? Your teacher and stuff.”
“I'm taking lessons there! That's all!”
“Yeah, no, that's clear. Teachers pet, I think that's what you're called now. You're probably secretly doing kill trade with the teacher!”
Lady Evelyne gasped. “That's an infamous insinuation! I'm not doing kill trade with the teacher, what do you think?”
“Oh yeah, you didn't want to make kill trade with me. I asked you,” Zax's voice trembled slightly, ”and you just refused!”
“I don't usually do that either! I'm not that kind of person!”
“Yeah, no, that's clear. I'm just a simple Captain. Of course you don't do kill trade with me. You probably only hang out with the higher-ranking guys!”
Lady Evelyne shook her head in bewilderment. “Tell me, Zax, are you jealous?”
“Me? No, I'm not! It's just that some things bother me! And I feel pushed to one side! By so many things!” Zax ran out of the room slamming the door. Lady Evelyne stared after him, shaking her head.

Marzzzz had gathered the Thunderbrothers in the large entrance hall and cleared his throat.
“Guys, I have something important to tell you.”
The Thunderbrothers belched, farted and scraped their feet on the floor. They weren't particularly attentive, as usual.
Marzzzz sighed. He took a deep breath. “I'm really sorry to have to tell you this today and make this speech here. It's hard for me. I wish I didn't have to do it. You're a really cool bunch. I love being here with you. But unfortunately I have to stop playing this game for personal reasons...”
Suddenly there was absolute silence. The Thunder brothers stared at Marzzzz in horror. And in the middle of the silence, there was a terrible crash.
Lady Evelyne had dropped a whole pile of plates from her hand in the kitchen.
Thunder put his hand on Marzzzz's shoulder.
“Brother, I think you should go to her...”
“What?” asked Marzzzz in horror, ”I haven't even finished my speech yet! And she's just throwing plates at my head again!”
“I don't think she's throwing plates at your head today,” said Thunder gently.
Darkevil rolled his eyes. “Go on, then! The boss is right. Go to her! Talk to her!”
“But she doesn't like me at all! Why should I talk to her now of all times? I wanted to give my farewell speech here in front of you, and...”
Lippy rolled his eyes. “ Dude, you're really slow on the uptake sometimes and pretty stupid! Come on now, off to the kitchen with you, talk to her!”
“I told you - she doesn't like me! She's always disgusting to me!”
Lippy grinned. “That's her way, brother. She's just like that. When she likes someone, she's particularly mean to him. Look: she likes me too. Very really. I know that by now. And I'm certainly one of the people who got the worst of it from her.”
“I don't want to go into the kitchen to her!”
Marzzzz didn't stand a chance. His buddies had already pushed him gently towards the kitchen door.
“Get in there now! Good luck!” giggled the Thunder brothers and pushed Marzzzzz through the quickly opened door. Before Marzzzz knew it, he was standing in the kitchen. The Thunder brothers hurriedly closed the door behind him and then clamped their ears against it from the outside so as not to miss anything.
Thunder Horny and Thunder Cock had arrived in the entrance hall a little later than the others and had therefore missed out on a good place to eavesdrop. But the two of them were smart enough to find another solution! They quickly ran outside into the courtyard directly under the kitchen windows. Cock took Horny on his shoulders so that he even had a good view through the left kitchen window. Perfect! They definitely wouldn't miss any of the showdown in the kitchen.

“Look!” said Mamydona to ChampagneMami in amazement. The two of them were unpacking the groceries from Dylan's truck at the other end of the courtyard with the help of several RxG girls.
“What's going on there? Why are Horny and Cock making a robber's ladder under the kitchen window and peeping in there?”
“I don't know, shall we go and have a look?”
“Sure, let's go!”
Accompanied by the girls, the two hastily ran to the left-hand kitchen window, which was still “free” in that sense, climbed onto the rain barrel and upturned flower pots and tried to catch a glimpse of what was going on in the kitchen.
Genny and Black had it best. The general commotion had also alerted them to the fact that something special was going on in the kitchen. However, it had quickly become clear that all the available eavesdropping and spying spots were already occupied by other members of the faction: The Thunder brothers were besieging the kitchen door, Horny and Cock one kitchen window, the girls the other kitchen window. Then Genny had the brilliant idea. The little library above the kitchen! It had its own door to the upper corridor, through which the two of them had sneaked in. Now they both crawled as quietly and inconspicuously as possible on their stomachs as close as possible to the circular opening of the spiral staircase. The spot was perfect. They had a full view and the best acoustics. The show could begin!
_____________________________________________
Marzzzz stood confused and a little unsure in the kitchen, not really knowing what to say. Lady Evelyne opposite him didn't fare much better. She was standing in a sea of broken dishes, her arms crossed in front of her chest and biting her lower lip.
“Ewww...” he said.
“Hmmmm...” she said.
“I can't see anything!” cursed Cock from under the window, ”what's happening in there?”
“Nothing!” Horny grumbled on his shoulders, ”absolutely nothing! They just look at each other and keep quiet! - Ah - now! Shut up! They're talking something!”
The lady was the first to half compose herself and cleared her throat. “Is what you said out there true? I mean... that you want to leave...”
Marzzzz also cleared his throat. “Well, there's no question of wanting to... but there are personal circumstances that force me to. Yes, you heard me right. But why does that bother you at all?”
Evelyne fiddled uncertainly with the ruffles of her sleeves. “You recruited me, you brought me here. I mean... that's pretty special for me.”
Marzzzz growled, “But you keep throwing plates at my head! You can't really care! You'll find someone else to throw plates at!”
Lady Evelyne gave Marzzzz a shy sideways glance. “I - I don't want someone else to throw plates at. I don't want you to go.”
The girls under the right-hand kitchen window sighed in delight. “That's so sweet!”
Horny rolled his eyes. “I'm about to get diabetes, it's that sweet, yes! Does anything ever happen there, or are they just talking?”
Marzzzz in the kitchen looked extremely confused and puzzled. “Wait a minute - you don't want me to leave? But I thought you were totally mad at me about the spa hotel and you don't like me anyway!”
“Brother, she fancies you!” hissed Lippy from outside the kitchen door, ”everyone here has already figured that out, except you!”
Marzzzz looked towards the kitchen door in irritation. He imagined he had heard something but then dismissed the idea again.
Lady Evelyne drew little squiggles in the broken glass with the tip of her shoe. “I'm not angry. Well, maybe a little. But I haven't really been for a long time. It's absolutely beautiful here and I feel incredibly at home in this city. And yes... you're just one of my most important gaming partners in here!”
Marzzzz stared at Evelyne: “You're serious, aren't you? Damn - you actually like me, don't you?”
“Yes!” yelled the Thunder brothers outside the kitchen door and then covered their mouths in horror to avoid being discovered.
The girls under the left kitchen window shrieked with delight.
Only Horny and Cock were unhappy. “Brother, there's a sturdy kitchen table! Don't mess around, throw her on there and then go for it!”
“No, not like that!” Impel scolded the two guys angrily, “You're the last wooden blocks! You have no idea how to deal with a woman! Marzzzz is a gentleman, he knows that! That's why he's always successful with women!”
“Did you hear something?” Marzzzz asked irritably in the kitchen, ”somehow I feel like I'm being watched and overheard.”
“I don't know”, said Evelyne, frowning, ”but again, I really don't want you to leave. I'd really miss you in here, and so would the other women. You're our Loverboy.”
“That really blows my mind”, Marzzzz said, slightly stunned, ”I wasn't expecting it. I mean... I thought the whole time that you didn't like me, even though I tried so hard. I really did everything I could to impress you and win you over. So to recruit, okay, more than to recruit. Oh, you know what I mean!”
The girls under the window sighed in unison and squeezed each other's hands.
Lady Evelyne giggled and gave Marzzzz a sideways glance. “Really?”
Marzzzz blushed a little. “Yes, really!”
“God, he's so cumbersome!” raged Horny, “Brother, there's still a sturdy kitchen table. DO IT ALREADY!”
“Shut the fuck up!” scolded Mamydona, ”you have no idea about romance! You'll never get a woman with your ways!”
“Exactly!” roared the donkey from the stable, ”that's why those two are gay!”
“The other two are really a bit cumbersome!” whispered Genny to Black at the top of the spiral staircase, “I'm beginning to think Evelyne is still a virgin! Or a nun! Or both! They're both missing the point!”
“Is someone there?” called Marzzzz in the kitchen in irritation, who was now quite sure he had heard something.
With a rumble, the door to the pantry suddenly opened and a bad-tempered Cezar shuffled out.
“What are you doing here?” asked Marzzzz angrily.
“What am I doing here? Yeah, that's what I'm asking myself!” grumbled Cezar, ”It's not like I'm here by choice, right? I've been kidnapped and am being held here against my will. And all day long it's just orders and punches and kicks. The treatment sucks! Ivy told me to clean and tidy the pantry. That's what I did. Now what?”
“Get lost!” said Marzzzz and Lady Evelyne as if from the same mouth, smiling at each other.
“What do you mean, get lost? What's that supposed to mean?” grumbled Cezar.
Marzzzzz grabbed Evelyne around the waist and gently pulled her a little closer to him, at the same time managing to kick Cezar across the room into the next corner.
“See - that's what I meant about the shitty treatment!” howled Cezar from the corner.
“The other night, at the 641 City Hall - you spent most of the evening dancing with me,” Marzzzz whispered into Lady Evelyne's hair, “was that on purpose?”
She smiled slightly. “Perhaps? Anyway, it was a wonderful night.”
“And what am I supposed to do now?” complained Cezar, still from his corner.
“Go to hell!” scolded Lady Evelyne, ”can't you see that we have something important to discuss? Find something to do! Outside! Curry the donkey! Sweep the yard! Make yourself useful somewhere! But outside!”
“What do you mean, outside, and what exactly?” asked Cezar, who was clearly not the smartest of men.
Lady Evelyne wheeled around: “Watch out, if you don't manage to find yourself a task OUTSIDE right now, I'll give you one! Then I'll send you to Candycane's bedroom with the order to satisfy him in any way he asks of you! And that will keep you busy all day! Do you understand that now?”
That worked. Screaming loudly, Cezar fled from the kitchen, fortunately through the back door, otherwise the Thunder brothers' heads would have been bumped on the corridor door.
Marzzzz put on his most charming smile and gently ran his fingers through Evelyne's hair. “We really should repeat the dance at the City Hall soon.”
Evelyne blushed a little and whispered, “I'd dance with you all night.”
Marzzzz leaned forward and took her hand. “If you give me that as a promise, I'll conquer every City Hall in the world for you.”
“Oh my God, that's romantic!” sighed the girls in front of the right kitchen window, ”that's the sweetest thing a man can say to a woman!”
Mamydona whispered, “And she's shy! That's so cute! You wouldn't think so when you meet her otherwise!”
“Ghost never said anything so sweet to me!” grumbled Genny at the top of the spiral staircase, ‘He just said: ’Now my house is next to my best buddy!” - That was the most romantic thing I've ever heard him say! He never said to me that he would conquer every City Hall in the world for me!”
“Ghost just ain't Marzzzz!” whispered Black back.
ChampagneMami sighed: “Remember when Black said to Biochest that she wanted to dance with him on a thousand corpses? That was soooo romantic too!”
Lady Evelyne looked shyly at the floor and paced back and forth a little. “I have to tell you something... I've never said this to a man before... and I haven't done it very often, actually only once, but...” she gave Marzzzz a shy sideways glance, ”... you're the only one I can even imagine doing kill trade with.”
Outside the kitchen window, two of the girls were fainting with romance.
Genny whispered to Black: “Ha! I knew it! And now I'd like to marry them off directly to each other, just like she did to me. Through a cheap Elvis impersonator in Las Vegas! That would serve her right!”
Black just put her finger over her mouth. “Shh, I want to hear more!”
However, nothing more could be heard from downstairs. Genny carefully crawled forward a little, but the spiral staircase blocked her view.
The Thunder brothers outside the kitchen door were also getting restless. “Are they kissing now? Why can't we hear anything?”
“Move aside!” cursed Boo and Bobo, who were trying to hear from behind. The Thunder brothers angrily squeezed each other aside and pushed harder and harder against the kitchen door.
“I'm sure I heard something”, said Marzzzz from the kitchen. Then there was a crash and at least ten Thunder brothers fell straight into the room, along with the kitchen door, which had been torn off its hinges.
Evelyne and Marzzzz looked at each other with barely suppressed laughter and winked meaningfully, while the Thunder brothers hurriedly tried to come up with a thousand excuses as to why they were lying on the floor along with the kitchen door.
Marzzzz unceremoniously climbed over his comrades and headed back into the entrance hall, while Evelyne, without batting an eyelid, grabbed the broom to clean up both the Thunder brothers and the broken dishes.
Thunder, who was leaning against the wall in the entrance hall as if by chance, , apparently studying a Synergetic mission magazine intently, looked up briefly as Marzzzz walked past. “Weren't you going to make another speech, brother?” he asked casually.
“Speech?” Marzzzz asked, confused. “What? Oh, yes, that. No, that's done.”
Thunder nodded. He looked over to the kitchen and a satisfied smile played around his lips. There were definitely some personnel decisions he never regretted. On the contrary.
“Oh, brother, one more thing“, he turned to Marzzzz again. “You should go back into town and do some shopping. I have the impression that we urgently need new plates.”
