[So. Mattress herding. Sounded easy enough, right? I mean hell, Ichigo figured 'herding' was another name for 'carrying' or something. You never knew with all the aliens around here, and it would take his mind off of what happened to his homeworld.
What he didn't expect was for the herding aspect to be literal.
He also didn't expect the mattresses to be sentient and able to speak, even though the alien he was working under told him they were slower mattresses than the ones they normally got. To which he'd asked 'in speed?' and got the answer 'no, in brains.'
So he was herding around retarded Mattresses. Great.
On his break, he decides to open the Guide, hitting the switch for video by accident (although can you blame him? The button for it was right next to the button to search entries), causing everyone on the network to see an intent orange-haired teenager staring down into the camera.]
What's the entry about earth on this thing...ah. Here.
...'Mostly Harmless?' That's it?
[With a snort, he was about to close the guide when a mattress suddenly appears behind him, rubbing it's fabric against Ichigo's brightly colored head.]
Hmhmhmhhhhh, Orrrannnge~
[And of course, it has the effect of scaring the hell out of him, hand flying to the handle of his sword before realizing it was just another mattress.]
For god's sake...hey, shoo! Get out of here, I'm on my break!
[The mattress doesn't care, however, simply rubbing and humming contentedly against his skull. And even as he flails and tries to push it away, more appear on screen.]
Oooooraaange~~~
Wh-Get off-help!
[Funny thing about Mattresses-they appear to just love the color orange.
Well, at least they're mostly harmless.]
