The Shark House - Chapter 8 - Intrepid Cave Troll

Freddy who worked the Helpdesk at Quarter Bros constantly paid attention to Poppy's work week, when the work day was done, Freddy would return to his apartment packed full of stone statues of Lord of the Rings characters and a setup rig for his weekly news show, Troll News hosted by himself under the name Intrepid Cave Troll; he had a more promising career as an influencer only for an NFT scheme to go horribly wrong and throw him into endless debt, he blames Razzmatazz, another influencer and gamer for the incident and uses his platform to get any chance of insulting him; suspecting that Poppy is the same Popful Kitty that destroyed all Razzmatazz's arcade records 18 years ago, Freddy secretly filmed Poppy during her breaks when she was allowed to play with the other arcade patrons.
"Good evening, this is Intrepid Cave Troll with Troll news with a hot scoop directly from the Quarter Brothers Arcade, Popful Kitty, the very gamer who destroyed the old records of Razzmatazz has returned to the arcade, now we've heard the Razz preach many times that Popful Kitty is the ultimate gigachad but trust this Intrepid Cave Troll as the identity of Popful Kitty is none other than Canadian Marathon runner Popuri Meadows, yes Razzmatazz, the person who destroyed all your records 18 years ago, is not a 6ft tall gigachad with a beard that can light a firework, no! You lost to a five year old girl, who barely games anymore and is from the Shark House of all places, now then Razz, what will you do, Firestorm already signed her to Polygon Express, your Empire is about to crumble" Freddy ended with a sinister laugh.
A kick on the door from Lisa who just returned from a delivery quickly shut the cave troll up.
Popuri was also outside with her cat on her shoulder having just returned from the common room with a snack.
"Ignore the troll, he's always like this every Wednesday night" Lisa pet Poppy's cat Karma and went to her apartment.
Poppy just blinked and went back to eating her cookies.
