Episode 5 : Yearn

Better Halves | Ft. Cable and Yarn
"Forever?"

April 6th, 2025



A blue yarn ball object with cat features stands next to a giggling electrical plug object in a grassy area. The plug object asks "Why do we have to come here now anyway?" The yarn object says "Because I wanna see the lights!" to which the plug object says "If you say so!" A firework is heard launching in the background as Blaire also known as Yarn aged 28 pronouns she/her and they/them says "Climb on." to the plug object.
Fireworks detonate in the background and in surprise Blaire hisses and throws the plug object. The plug object Pepper also known as Cable aged 29 pronouns they/them says "Calm down baby it's just fireworks." as they comfort Blaire.
Pepper says "That must mean they're doing something exciting!" and Blaire's ears perk up. Pepper says "Let's go and get a good spot to sit." and Blaire growls as she walks on all fours. Blaire sits in a fenced off area as Pepper says "I thought you would be more excited honey." to which Blaire responds "They don't have the cool lights this year."
Blaire mutters "Can't even hear her..." as Madeline is seen speaking. A stop sign object comes from behind the two and says Please move please." and thanks Blaire as she does so.
Pepper says "I wonder who that was." and Blaire responds "Some guard late to her post probably. Or an assassin." Blaire looks nervous as she continues "Let's get outta here before they do more fireworks."
Pepper and Blaire hear a voice say "Last object alive."
Blaire, panicked, runs away as Pepper shouts "Honey! Honey! Come on let's go home and assess."
Blaire hides under a bed as Pepper stands in front of her and says "Honey... I know it's scary. I'm so so scared too. But you're the strongest person here or anywhere."
Pepper sits next to them and says "It's gonna be okay." Blaire mutters "Pepper..." as they continue "Blaire. Nobody can beat you except you. We're gonna win, I promise."
Blaire says "Pepper... you're all I have anymore... Please stay with me... I can't stand the thought of losing you... or hurting you." Pepper says "You could never. I promise."
Cut to black. Blaire is sweating in her sleep.
Blaire reaches out for a battery object facing away from her as they fade.

COMIC GUIDE

Hypertherian
A large object who only has a therian form, due to a birth condition that triggers feral DNA. Hypertherians tend to act more rambunctious than standard objects. They are recognizable by their large eyes.

Mechanical Object
Robotic objects created by angel objects. They are made of object parts wrapped inside mechanical parts and are built to varying levels of quality and humanity, depending on when they were made and for what purpose. Unlike their creators, they can bear children. They're typically considered 'creations', though some angels may consider some mechanical objects their children.
