[News that Guzma had not only invited some seemingly random imPort to join Team Skull, but also appointed them to the position did not sit well with Tupp. Not that he had shared this with any of them when Gladion had been brought back to the Shady Factory. No, instead he let his frustrations stew and choosing to glare at the kid if and when he ever saw him about.
Tupp tried. He tried so hard to keep it to himself, after all he had been trying to earn the Boss's favor for so long now. He was offered the enforcer position as well, he just hadn't proven himself worthy of taking it. He didn't need to go and cock it up by starting stuff when Guzma was around.
So it's about a week or two later when Gladion gets this video. Tupp's anger and jealously couldn't be held back any longer, sorry Gladion.]
YO!! I dunno who the hell ya think you are, but just cuz the Boss seems to favor ya ain't mean yer actually one of us! And ya sure as hell ain't no enforcer neither!
Ya got that?
Video, goddammit Tupp... that's a strong hateboner
[Of all the things to ruin a good morning, it had to be that idiot barking into his notifications. What was this guy's problem with him, always glaring him down whenever Gladion would go to the factory or see him anywhere in the city? He didn't get it, nor did he really care other than the fact this guy got on his nerves each and every time.
A deadpan expression and emotion void in his tone as he rolls his eyes at the mention of never being one of them. Yeah, he's heard that plenty of times already.]
Nice try if you think that'll hurt my feelings, uhh what was your name? Trip, Drip? Tap? [Gladion really didn't care to remember this guy's name, sorry Tupp.]
gestures to the image on my profile... ya know 1/2
[Oh. Right. That was his name, how could he forget since there was a thing here they called tupperware to store food. He'd have to make a mental note to remember that this idiot who seems to have an obsession with the boss's name.]
Oh yeah, how could I forget your name was something that food is stored in? [A smug, gives-no-shits, smirk splits across his face. Is that being rude? Eh maybe. Does he care? Absolutely not.] What's your obsession with him anyway?
Video: time is fake; back when tupp got news gladion is the enforcer

no subject
[He seems absolutely proud that his name is so close to Tupperware. Probably because someone told him it makes him famous.]
Yo, it ain't an obsession. I just got a lil somethin' called loyalty!
no subject
[In case Tupp's too dense to figure it out, he's being 100% sarcastic with the smirk still there on his face.]
Uh-huh, sure. Still sounds like an obsession problem to me. Maybe Wailord sized from how you're acting.
