[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'd think with all the gods and ponies and even a talking coyote, people would see a candy person and smile while saying hello. ]

I think they're charming and suit you quite well. They match your outfit, at the very least.

No concern here, I'm beginning to suspect that candy people may not be in high population in this area and I'm beginning to get used to people's surprise.

[But Gumball, you eat candy. You don't eat talking ponies and coyotes. Most people would get a little stressed out if their steak dinner started introducing itself.]

That's intentional, but the lines are not.

[Flattery is... nice, but he's still sensitive about his hair.]

How do your people fare in inclement weather? I imagine getting caught in a rainstorm would be catastrophic.

[Puddles of colorful, sugary water everywhere, total carnage.]

[ Well, you wouldn't eat a steak that talked, obviously. But any other steak is fair game for consumption! ]

The lines are natural? [ That's just unnatural. ]

I'm not a fan of wet weather and tend to stay inside. We have umbrellas for that kind of thing. And rainboots too! You have those, right? Some candy people don't fare well in wetter weather but they're advised to stay inside, obviously. Things can get a little sticky otherwise.

[ Said as more of a joke than anything else. ]
