Summary
But Pluey knew that Battat took himself very seriously, and even more than that, he took Mike very seriously. He saw how frustrated the little guy got when things regarding their little act fell through… how would he react to Pluey not being up to working at all?
The thought was enough to make Pluey's heart skip a beat. Battat and Jongler were Pluey's first ever friends; he really didn't want to let them down. So what if he was under the weather? It was just one little shift. What was the worst that could happen?

Summary
Most of the time, Battat's migraines gave him the luxury of starting up about halfway through the workday, only settling into a nauseating pounding around the time he was getting off his shift anyway. Obnoxious, but better than the alternative.
This was not one of those times.

Summary
Honestly, it happened more than they were really willing to admit, but that was mostly just because they were used to it. When they were working with the other Zappers, a gig they were more than willing to get out of with their newfound Mike duties, their symptoms were usually disregarded as laziness, not paying attention, that sort of thing. They honestly hadn’t even considered the fact that something might be genuinely wrong until they started working with Battat, who actually questioned what their deal was.
Granted, it had been a while since they’d had an episode this immediately disorienting. The moment they sat up from their bed, they had to catch themself before they tipped forward enough to collapse onto the ground. Bracing themself against their mattress, they assessed the situation before announcing to themself, “well, that ain’t good.”

Summary
"Battat..."
"H-Huh? What is it, Mr. Tenna, sir?"
"I told you, you can just call me Tenna, remember? I don't mind! Um, and I was just wondering about something I noticed recently... I have noticed that you and the other 'Mikes' are really close. You're all pretty close with Ramb as well... You four hang out all the time and are just... well, close, for lack of a better word..."
"Yes... And?"
"Well, I was just- I just... I don't know. I was just wondering why that is?"
"Well, we've just known each other for a long time. So, I guess, we're just kinda comfortable with each other. And I mean, besides, why wouldn't we be? It'd be kinda weird if I wasn't close with my partners, right?"
"Partners?"
Tenna felt his heart sink at those words; it was as he feared.
Or: Mike was never a real darkner. He never actually existed, and Tenna found himself caught in a web of lies. Tenna lied to the Mikes just as much as they lied to him. After he figures out who the Mikes really are behind the costumes, he wants to get to know their real selves. Tenna, Battat, Pluey, and Jongler now just need to establish the lies from the truths
