[video] in before eeveelution jokes
[It's late. Or too damn early. Somewhere in that ambiguous area, like 3:00 in the morning, just fine for certain parts of the alien population and a god-awful time for the rest. But here Kid is, addressing the network from the confines of a room in the island-side village.
One can just make out a few figures (Maka Albarn and Rin Okumura) behind him, sound asleep in their bed.]
I have a very important announcement to make, one that simply cannot wait until morning!
[The grim reaper, looking more lively than he has since... well, since the bubble cracked, stoops out of sight of the SFC, and reappears with an Umbreon in his arms. Beaming with the pride perhaps only a father might have for their child, he declares:]
This is Pip, and he's become even more beautiful than ever!
[It is indeed Pip, recently evolved, and he is still fat. He is also a she, but Kid never investigated that closely. Promptly forgetting about the SFC in his eagerness, Kid retreats with Pip in his arms to bend over Maka.]
Maka, Maka! Wake up! I don't want you to miss this!

You're mistaken - I would never speak ill of any number. It's simply not within my nature.
[Do you two even realize how ridiculous you sound right now?]
no subject
This is exactly why.]
There is nothing calming about the number seven, it's lopsided, it looks like someone with a grotesquely broken spine!
And what about the number four?! It's like something out of a nightmare when you've eaten too late at night!
Just thinking about the way five looks is making me feel sick..!
no subject
Perhaps you should look less at what the numbers themselves appear as, and look more at their function. If you spend so much time staring at the outside you never understand what's beneath the surface. Your equations are all basic, there's no substance.
As some one who has formed a connection with such a magnificent creature, a connection that has gone so far as to cause a natural evolution, I would hope you wouldn't be so shallow.
Hijacking...!
Um ,N, do you remember when you said you wanted to make friends...?
I don't think this is the way to go?
o/
... he started it.
[N.
No.]
no subject
Yes but you don't have to agree with him! If there's something you don't like then you can say something like you can agree to disagree with Kid.
Because you don't want to hurt his feelings!
no subject
...It's a lesson both of the boys could stand to learn, actually.]
no subject
... am I supposed to take his feelings in to account?
no subject
Yes, you are suppose to and that's how you make friends! It means that you're not hurting them!
no subject
I suppose I could have conducted myself better in this conversation. Perhaps we could start over.
And discuss numbers another time.
no subject
Why does he feel bad at all?
BIANCA HELP THE NUMBER OF THINGS HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND HAS INCREASED D: ]
... I guess I don't want to hurt anyone...
no subject
Mhmm, that's right so um...maybe we can agree to disagree for now? At least until we can find someway to discuss another time?
N, maybe you can apologize?
no subject
Help, the moments Kid misses having Soul Perception has increased again. D:]
no subject
[Oh right people do that...]
... uhm. I'm sorry. ... Kid, right?
no subject
Mhmm, that's right!
[She just hopes that this goes as well as she hoped!]
no subject
[A beat of silence:]
Not to change the subject, but... What is N short for?
no subject
Natural.
[This is something Bianca probably didn't even know either, since everyone back home just called him N.]
My full name is Natural Harmonia Gropius.
no subject
[Blink blink]
...I never knew that. [Now it makes her wonder if Hilbert knew that...]
no subject
[So sensible!
...What, is Natural supposed to be weird? Come on, one of his best pals is nick-named Soul Eater.]
no subject
[Because everyone else he knows (save for Ghetsis) have at least marginally normal names, if not some slightly exotic ones. He's painfully aware that no one at least within Unova has a name quite like his.]
N is fine.
[He's just going to go hide in a hole or something ok. Are you sure this is how you make friends Bianca?]
no subject
It seems like you two are getting along now! That's how you make friends, N, when you let people in and know who you really are!
[Pause]
But um...are you okay, N?
no subject
[it's a lie, and a pretty obvious one. He's really uncomfortable right now, but he knows if he doesn't push through this he's never going to be able to make any headway.]
... would... would it be alright if I saw Pip some time, Kid? She really is beautiful, and I've never met an Umbreon in person.
