Short Mission 1 (
Summary[]
Anya eats both peanuts
At the Forger home, Anya is playing spy with her stuffed animals: Director Chimera and the new Penguin she got from the aquarium. They introduce each other as Director Chimera welcomes Penguin to their secret agency, "P2." Director Chimera instructs Anya to bring the offering, a peanut. They split it so they can each eat half of it to show that Penguin is officially a member. Since they are stuffed animals, they cannot eat, so Anya eats both halves. Director Chimera welcomes Penguin as "Agent Penguinman" and instructs Anya to give him a tour of the secret lair.
Anya starts by taking Penguinman to the living room, which she calls the control room, saying it is where she gets intel from watching cartoons on television. She introduces Loid as "Agent Papa," an elite agent who can do anything, and Yor as "Agent Mama," who is good at fighting but not much else. Anya tells Penguinman that they are her best operatives. She continues the tour by showing him the bathroom, saying it is where injuries from fights can be healed, and then her bedroom, where she does her homework.
Anya approaches her parents' bedroom
Finally, Anya brings Penguinman to the most secret place, her parents' room. She tells him that he needs to brace himself since he will not leave alive after seeing the secrets it holds. However, before Anya can open the door, Loid grabs her and sternly tells her she is not allowed to go there without permission. Anya begins to cry, and Loid claims that it is for her protection, which Yor agrees with. Although, really, both just want to hide the tools for their secret jobs.
Anya takes her parents on a mission to the candy store
Anya tells her parents that she hates them and is going to run away. Loid fears for the fate of Operation Strix, so he picks up Penguinman and starts speaking for him. As Penguinman, he tells Anya that for the sake of world peace, she needs to stop crying, and that they could go on a mission. Yor quickly follows suit, picking up a robot toy and agreeing with Loid. Anya stops crying and instructs them to follow her to the candy shop on Second Street so they can stop the "bad guys" who have infiltrated it. Loid and Yor continue the spy roleplay as they follow Anya to the shop with the penguin and robot toys. This garners the attention and awe of several onlookers, much to their embarrassment, and Loid reminds himself that spies must never draw attention to themselves. At the shop, Loid and Yor buy Anya a treat, which makes her happy again, relieving Loid of his stress.
