Multiversal Tournament, Eldritch Cuttie Brigade

Phoenix

Why does this pillow smell like cotton candy and childhood innocence?

Anya

It's all pink! And fluffy! And I can't hear anyone's thoughts except—

Estir

Welcome, tiny mortals, to Estir's team training chamber~!

Estir

I plucked you two cuties from probability threads! You'll win me the Multiversal Tournament, yes? If you win, you get one wish.

Phoenix

Objection! I cannot stand the abduction of children!

Kanna

If we win, can I wish for unlimited mochi?

Anya

A wish?! I could ask for Papa to be home every Sunday!

Estir

But lose, and your wish belongs to the cosmic void, and I will be sad.

Phoenix

Wait. You two kids can't be serious about going along?! Didn't your parents...

Kanna

Fight now, snack later!

Estir

So energetic little dragon. Let's start the training match: dodge the cuddle barrage!

Phoenix

Wait—did your roar just turn into a squeak toy sound effect?!

Phoenix

I dont feel safe here...I would rather deal with courtroom chaos.

Anya

I can hear where each teddy will land! Left, left, duck—

Estir

Excellent teamwork! Next round: interpretive dance-off against outer gods!

Phoenix

If anyone needs me, I'll be in contempt of this cuddly dimension.

Anya

Operation Wishful Family starts now, Papa-Attorney-Proxy!

Estir

Oh, and Phoenix. You are the team leader now. Would you mind coming up with the team name?

Phoenix

Lady! I'm not— look, why me? Why not pick an actual hero?

Estir

Because you're the only one who'd worry about two random children~

Estir

Your compassion is statistically rare across universes! Perfect for managing my chaotic team!

Phoenix

And if I refuse?

Estir

Then I eat their wishes and send them home... empty.

Anya

He's thinking about someone named Maya... and how she'd never forgive him...

Phoenix

Alright. But we do this my way. No eating opponents, no stealing wishes, and definitely no—

Kanna

Can we keep the cookies?

Estir

Excellent! Second training exercise: survive my adorable onslaught!

Phoenix

Girls, stay behind me. I've cross-examined demons scarier than—

Estir

*Snaps* Begin!

Phoenix

Wait... these are just stuffed animals?

Anya

They smell like cotton candy! The pink one's thinking about nap time!

Kanna

This is training?

Estir

Fine, you passed the 'not panicking at cosmic entities' test. Happy?

Phoenix

Objection sustained. Now, about that team name...

Anya

Team Wishful Thinking!

Kanna

Team Dragon Snacks.
