Chapter 29 by DeNai DeNai

Quick, point out a single positive quality about Nebula

Actually, you really want to know why she was faking that accent.

"Hey, why were you pretending to be a New Zealander last week?" You say, completely cutting the tension.

"Oh shit! Er... Whacha mean, bruv? I've always talked like this." Nebula said, switching back to a scratchy kiwi accent.

"Stop. Why were you doing it?" You said, grabbing both her shoulders and looking her in the eye. Nebula looked shifty, before sighing.

"You see... All the others thought it would be cool if we all had a trait, ya know? So I thought, 'Oi, I can do a noice kiwi voice, and I do like me a shimp on the barbie' so why not become Kiwi-bula, but then after everything happened, I forgot to-"

Wait... the others? She couldn't mean...

"Nebula, who are the others?" You ask weakly, hoping you were wrong.

"The other Nebulas, duh." Nebula said. "We're all in a group chat on that site I was talking about. There's tons of Nebulas out there! There's Space-bula, there's Were-bula, there's Gnebula, there's GigaChad-bula, but she died... probably..."

You sunk like you were punched in the stomach at the implications as Nebula blithely rattled off more pun-names, but the women around you were interested in knowing more.

"How did that last one die?" Chris asked.

"She pantsed Oskar and took a picture, but after she posted it to the chat, her account went offline. As for the pic... let's just say they don't call it 'ToE' for nothing... hyuck hyuck hyuck." Nebula laughed at her own bad joke, not really caring that it made no sense to anyone but herself in context.

"What about Wer-"

"Gnebula, what does that one mean?!" Zoe asked, suddenly flustered, interrupting Chris.

"She's a gnome." Nebula said, as if that answered all questions.

After an awkward pause, she added, "She comes from a fantasy highschool setting, so we're all different races and can use magic and stuff." Noticing she had everyone attention, she became more talkative. "Yeah, Chris is a disguised princess, Joyce is a drow, Zoe is a... well that one hasn't changed..." You noticed Zoe sigh in relief that Nebula passed over her, "Oh! And mhmhhmmmmgh mhhmmgh mh..."

You covered Nebula's mouth until she stopped talking. You weren't against it, but any more multiverse shenanigans today were going to melt your brain, especially with all the other stressors going on. Slapping yourself on the cheeks, you try and forget everything that Nebula said in the past few minutes, and prepared to take it from the top.

"Nebula! The best thing about you is..."

Just clear your mind... and compliment Nebula...
