Episode 2: The Tsums Invade! II

Exterior Hallway 2F
Azul Azul	That reminds me... Kalim. Regarding those creatures, what do you believe is a suitable approach to handling them?
Kalim Kalim	You mean this li'l fella? It looked like it had fun dancing to my phone's text notif ringtone just now, you know. I think it's got good vibes and is a fun one to be with!
Azul Azul	No, that's not what I meant... Personally, I feel that we should protect them. After all, there doesn't seem to be any harm in doing just that, so treating them with the spirit of benevolence should be appropriate. I do wonder what the headmaster would say, however...
Lilia Lilia	I believe there should be no issue in that regard, because Sebek also took care of the one resembling himself in accordance with the headmaster's instructions.
Azul Azul	Is that so? That is reassuring to hear, Lilia.
Kalim Kalim	Man, you really are such a nice guy, Azul. You even thought seriously about what to do with these guys!
Azul Azul	Oh no, not at all, I am far from the magnanimous figure you believe me to be. It just isn't in my nature to leave anyone or anything just floundering by themselves. Kalim, Lilia, if either of you ever encounter any difficulties in the handling of those creatures, please feel free reach out to me anytime. Because I will gladly take up the mantle of caregiver for all of our creatures free of charge!!
Lilia Lilia	Hoh? No compensation required at all? Such impressive statements are rare coming from you. Did you come up with a fun idea by any chance?
Azul Azul	A fun idea, you say? Why, I have no clue what you mean by that.
Kalim Kalim	Thanks, Azul! I'll make sure to reach out if any trouble does happen!

Headmaster's Office
Footsteps
Azul Azul	Apologies for disturbing you this late in the night, Headmaster Crowley. Is now a good time?
Kalim Kalim	So like, a bunch of odd creatures actually fell out of the sky just now. It's these guys...
Crowley Crowley	Yes yes, this is about the Tsums, correct? Sigh... Really now. Just how many of them have arrived this time? It's not as if I have time for this either, and yet...
Ortho Ortho	Good evening. Mr. Kalim Al-Asim's group is also here, it seems.
Rook Rook	We were just about to spend the night discussing about the mysterious set of circumstances surrounding our dear guests and the beautiful phenomenon which occurred this evening.
Jade Jade	Oh my...Azul. I see you have found the creature that resembles yourself as well.
Azul Azul	Indeed. Going out to search for a possible Tsum on my own after encountering the one resembling you turned out to be the right call.
Deuce Deuce	So I wasn't the only one who found a Tsum after all... I didn't think there'd be so many of us who did, though.
Kalim Kalim	Hey, is the "Tsum" thing that everyone's been mentioning supposed to refer to these fellas by any chance?
Crowley Crowley	That is correct. It refers to the mysterious creatures that appeared out of nowhere in tandem with a dazzling ray of light. For some reason, they assume forms that resemble our students as well... As to where they came from and how they managed to slip through the college's barrier... They both remain unknown. ...How is it possible for the barrier to be broken through AGAIN considering I'd reexamined it after the Tsums returned the last time, though?! I can't stand this!
Jade Jade	It appears it does not end with that. The Tsums are climbing onto the backs of other Tsums, which then proceed to climb onto other Tsums...
Deuce Deuce	Mysterious creatures... If that's the case, then how do we know that these creatures are called "Tsums"?
Crowley Crowley	Ahh, that's...
Azul Azul	...Oh? Please, have a look. The Tsums have all gathered in one place at some point while we weren't paying attention.
Jade Jade	It appears it does not end with that. The Tsums are climbing onto the backs of other Tsums, which then proceed to climb onto other Tsums...
Kalim Kalim	They climb so skilfully~ Take care not to fall over, okay!
Tsums Tsum
Lilia Lilia	Ooh, this is quite the fine pile they have made... Hm?
Rook Rook	They appear to bear quite the striking resemblance to how stones are stacked in monument signs. ...Oooh!
Ortho Ortho	Perhaps the creatures have a tendency to stack themselves upon other individuals... Ah!
Azul Azul	When they gather in one location, they pile themselves up on each other... For as many individuals as there are, one after another...
Kalim Kalim	I see, so that's why they're...
Everyone	TSUM TSUMS!!!!!
Crowley Crowley	...That's right. Which is why for convenience's sake, we called these creatures "Tsums" in turn.
Kalim Kalim	So that's why. I think its a good name that's also easy to understand.
Azul Azul	Now that we have solved the mystery of its name, I believe it's about time we moved on to the main question at hand.
Deuce Deuce	The main question?
Jade Jade	Correct. The question right now is who exactly should be in charge of taking care of these Tsums.
Azul Azul	We too have heard from Floyd regarding the circumstances surrounding the previous encounter. It is likely that the Tsums to remain with us until tomorrow night, correct? Which is to say, someone is required to look after the Tsums until then.
Crowley Crowley	It is exactly as you said. Just like the last time, all of you students will be in charge of looking after them. Each of you, please take the respective Tsum that resembles you and take care of it.
Kalim Kalim	Ohh, sure! Sounds kinda fun anyways.
Azul Azul	Having to add Tsum care on to my work at the Mostro Lounge... It will be difficult, but I understand. I shall accept this responsibility for the sake of our ever-caring headmaster with open arms!
Kalim Kalim	Good for you, Azul! You did want to look after the Tsums after all.
Rook Rook	The ability to coexist with an unknown creature is nothing short of fantastic. I, too, welcome this proposition warmly. There is simply no reason for me to turn it down!
Lilia Lilia	I do have expertise in creature care myself, so you may depend on me for this task. Kehehe, it seems that I'll be able to have fun afterwards.
Ortho Ortho	I'm excited as well. I was just thinking about how I'd love to conduct extensive research on what the Tsum species is like!
Deuce Deuce	So I'll have the Tsum to care for on top of my homework and class prep? I'm not very confident, but I'd never be able to become an honours student if I quit at this stage.
Jade Jade	I have little to no experience with the care of living beings that are not plants so I am nervous as well... However, I shall endeavour to fulfill this responsibility to the best of my ability.
Crowley Crowley	Ohh... How unbelievable this chorus of eager agreement is! It touches me oh, so deeply. Oh, to be blessed with such sincere and good students! Well then. I will be counting on all of you to take good care of the Tsums for the sake of the school's order!
