⠀ ❝NO! G-GuH-gUh-GO AWAY! YOU’RE NOT WELCOME IN TU-tU-TUFF HEADQUARTERS!❞ [The scientist shouted in response, followed by the dramatic sound of BOARDS being NAILED across said door. Man, was he terrified of the female gender.]

⠀ ❝. . . Are you t-tA-Ta-talking about 𝙢𝙚?❞

⠀ [The lab fell silent for a minute . . . before the wooden planks were being sheepishly torn down, the door slowly swinging open. An awkward smile on Keswick’s face as he moved to adjust his glasses.] ❝My mistake, Miss Possible! A w-wA-Wa-warning would’ve been nice.❞

⠀ [𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 idiot, except he’s not an idiot at all. Keswick happens to be the scientist of a top-secret agency called *𝐓.𝐔.𝐅.𝐅! Yeah, take that while he enjoys a spoonful of unrefrigerated mayonnaise.]

⠀ ❝. . . Perhaps, I’ve made a m-mi-mI-Mi-miscalculation and a lapse of my judgement.❞

⠀ [He may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer. Oh, God, cue the nausea and dry-heaving again.] ❝Guuuhhhhhh . . .❞

⠀ ❝H-Hey, now, no slandering Agent P-Pu-pU-Puppy on the premises!❞

⠀ [He blinks a few times, taken back by the sudden undivided attention in him. That’s when his cheeks turn slightly red, bashful as a hand moves to rub the back of his neck.] ❝*𝑯𝒆𝒉~ well, I 𝙙𝙤 tend to have that effect on w-wO-Wo-women.❞

⠀ ❝Keswick!❞ [He beams, extending a hand to accept the offer of a shake.] ❝It’s very n-nI-Ni-nice to meet you, Three! I also like how you’re named after a n-nU-Nu-number!❞

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀✎ ⨾ ─ writing keswick without his stammering is considered ableist in my eyes. ✨

⠀ ❝Oh, that better not be the villainous f-fI-Fi-fiend, 𝙎𝙣𝙖𝙥𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙥!❞

⠀ ❝*𝑯𝑨𝑯─! Says the v-vI-Vi-villain who begged me to fix his disgusting h-hE-He-headquarters, and was dumb enough to think I’d b-bE-Be-betray my T.U.F.F. family!❞

⠀ ❝Why, thank you! Although I haven’t spoken to my m-mO-Mo-mother in ages, she sure was creative!❞

(( TUFF PUPPY RP! YEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHH /VPOS

⠀ ❝Oh, did your D.O.O.M. posse disband? G-gO-Go-good for them! You were a t-tE-Te-terrible boss and an even worse villain!❞ [The unknown animal scoffed, crossing his arms as a smirk graced buckteeth.]

⠀ ❝Not if Agents Puppy and K-kA-Ka-Katswell have anything to say about it, fiend!❞ [Man, was that evil laugh a perfect mix of diabolical and annoying. But Keswick was just as confident as his foe; if not, more.]

⠀ ❝That, unfortunately, is an answer I c-cA-Ca-cannot tell you.❞

⠀ ❝Hmph. At least 𝙤𝙣𝙚 villain has m-mA-Ma-manners!❞
