09: He wants to talk to people [video]

[paladaddy]

[At first, his voice sounds very tired, and he looks more drained than usual. Sleep has been playing hard to get for the last few days.]

It's almost April, isn't it? The kids would be starting school soon, back home.

[Even though he's saying that, whatever is weighing so heavily on his mind isn't directly related to school.

But a moment later, his tone lightens a bit, like he thought of something humorous.]

It's a little too quiet around here, with the kids on their camping trip. We should throw a party. Maybe a 'hooray we survived another curse' party.

What, do they randomly transform when under the influence?

[action]

[circumsutus]

[He nods.] And they tend to pick fights.

[action]

[paladaddy]

That definitely sounds like a recipe for trouble.

[Thankfully there are no teenage weapons here.]

[action]

[circumsutus]

It can be, but there aren't too many weapons here right now

[action]

[paladaddy]

'Too many'? I thought there were none.

[action]

[circumsutus]

There weren't four days ago, but there are two here now.

[action]

[paladaddy]

Oh?

[He's met Liz, so he figures she is one, but another weapon?]

Who are they?

[action]

[circumsutus]

Marie Mjolnir. She made an accidental post earlier today.

[action]

[paladaddy]

You mean the lady with the eyepatch?

[He had seen the video, but had decided not to respond. It...seemed like a delicate situation.]

[action]

[circumsutus]

Yes. The lady with the eyepatch.

[action]

[paladaddy]

I didn't know she was from your world.

[She was kinda cute, from what Shiro could see of her.]

Is she coming to live with us?

[action]

[circumsutus]

She is. [Both from Stein's world and coming to live with them.] She and Rin will probably get along well.

[action]

[paladaddy]

Rin gets along with most people, if they can stand his temper.

[But still, she must be a pretty neat person, if Stein is speaking so highly of her.]

[action]

[circumsutus]

Plus, she likes to cook. [Stein's really fond of Marie. After all, she's his weapon.] And Rin should be able to withstand her punches.

[action]

[paladaddy]

I'm guessing I should avoid upsetting her, then.

[He did say Rin could withstand them, not Shiro.]

[action]

[circumsutus]

She's called "the Pulverizer" for a reason.

[action]

[paladaddy]

[Yeahhhhh he's definitely going to be nice and try not to be brutalized by Marie.]

Kid and Maka will have a nice surprise waiting for them when they get home, then.

[action]

[circumsutus]

They will. Marie will probably be thrilled to see them too.

[action]

[paladaddy]

They picked the worst week to go camping.

[action]

[circumsutus]

They did. I'm considering going up to the island to get them.

[action]

[paladaddy]

Nah, let 'em be. They need to go do stupid shit like camping when they're young.

[action]

[circumsutus]

I wouldn't call it "stupid shit". After all, you're planning "stupid shit" like wild parties.

[action]

[paladaddy]

You know, if you don't want any parties to happen here, just say something. I wouldn't plan anything like that if my housemates didn't want it to happen.

[Party pooper. 8|]

[action]

[circumsutus]

Would you believe me if I said I didn't care?

[action]

[paladaddy]

In that case, you should join us. I bet you would be great at cards.

[Shiro's idea of a party: a group of friends hanging out, drinking, and playing poker.]
