Summary
"Sorry 'bout the mess," Battat mutters. "This dressing room hasn't been used since…"
He trails off. A poster on the wall he's seen dozens of times combing through this place catches his eye. It's a photo of Tenna posing under the spotlight. The person beside him doesn't have fluorescent pink and yellow glasses, bright red cheeks on an unnaturally white face, a jaw that swings on a hinge whenever he speaks, a threadbare black blazer over a dirty button-up, or neon green strings visible between his finger joints when he bends them.
But he does have a long, pointy nose and black hair slicked back. He is somewhere around Mike's height, assuming Tenna's at his usual stature. That's… that's about it, actually.
The stranger notices what he's looking at, and his unnaturally wide smile somehow pulls wider. "Mike… [Do you know who I am]?"
It's nice not to have to worry about ads interrupting his speech when Spamton's using a Trojan Horse. But the song references to the Trojan Horse's original creator aren't much better.

Summary
"Spamton?"
It's Tenna. All his nerves immediately shatter, crashing to the tile like broken glass. Tenna doesn't call him often, but when he does, he doesn't inflict Spamton with an amnesic delirium. Still, he doesn't completely let his guard down. In just one word, he can already tell Tenna sounds… afraid. "Speaking. What's up, Cathode?"
"I can't appear on set today. Can you let everyone know? I should still be able to give cues and operate the lights from Mike's room… I think. I hope."

Summary
Ever since he’d first arrived in Castle Town, Tenna had found himself surrounded by friends both old and new. So why is it that he feels so utterly and desperately alone?
In his efforts to carry on through the pain, he pushes himself to the brink in a way that leaves him literally seeing the world through rose-tinted glass. Luckily, a certain café bartender knows a thing or two about color theory.

Summary
And then, as Battat watched Tenna jump at the sound of his voice yet again, the realization finally dawned on him. Tenna couldn’t actually see what was in front of him—he only thought he could.
Or: After suffering a head injury, Tenna’s visual input is desynched, leaving his vision stuck up to 6 seconds in the past.

Summary
Noelle has become strong. Now, a Thorn lodged in her finger, and the hollowed out husk of something that used to be her friend beside her, she stands at the Absolute. With her power, she can see above the clouds, and peer into heaven. Her heart hurts, but that's okay. She misses her friends, but that's okay. Pain isn't a bad thing. It is simply how she grows stronger.

Summary
“You, uh. Sure know your way around a CRT,” Tenna says. “I didn’t know you were a mechanic.”
“I sell cars,” Spamton had replied, back when Tenna was addressing him. “If you talk [Big] with nothing to back it up, people think you’re a hack.”
“Well,” Tenna said, “are you?”
Spamton sprayed the compressed air into his smug face.
That would have been preferable to drowning in insulation foam and getting licked clean by a clown (“HANDS OFF THE [[Officil Merchandise]]!!”). Jevil’s nuisance was missed as soon it was over though, because then all he had was the realization that that was his last chance. To do what, he isn’t sure. To demand an apology. To explain why he ran away. To scream at him. To break that stupid screen himself, just to get it over with, and crawl inside there never to emerge. Then at least they’d be together.
____
An unseen, silent, approximately 4 foot tall individual takes it upon himself to fix the fallen Lord of the Screens. To raise a middle finger to the mysterious phone-calling, prophecy-defining benefactor who screwed him over and made him a living puppet, of course. No other reason.

Summary
After ignoring a prior injury for a little too long, a visit to the repair clinic becomes inevitable for Tenna. But the memories of the traumas that await him are all too overwhelming: the cut of a blade, the severing of wires, the unyielding pull of pliers threatening to rip him apart piece by piece… how can he ever expect to make it out alive when he’s this broken inside?
Sequel to Delayed Frames.
