07: suddenly hats [video]

Okay, it might just be me, but doesn't anyone else think it's strange that all these hats are sticking on people's heads? I'm pretty sure it's another curse, but 'oh look you have a hat stuck on your head' just seems a little...I dunno, weak?

...

You know, I wonder what would happen if you put a hat on top of another hat that someone was wearing.

[Clearly someone should do this. For science.

But not Nanaki, no. She is not the wearer of hats.]

Yeah, he did. [He'd say when and where, but that would give away Davesprite's gift for her.] Was he not supposed to?

I guess I didn't tell him not to tell anyone, but I didn't want everyone to make a big deal about it, which is why I haven't exactly gone announcing it to the world or anything.

[She's modest about these kinds of things.]

But you said you had a present, right? If you want to bring it over, that's fine. I'm at home right now, so I'll wait here.

This is me totally not making a big deal of it. It's a small gift. It's not like I'm throwing you a big party or anything. [Thumbs up. Don't worry. He's not gonna throw her a party, but maybe put a party hat on her head when he arrives?]

Yeah, I'll bring it over in a few.

Okay, see you soon.

And thanks, for not making a big deal out of it.

[That would be evil because then Nanaki would be making a big deal out of birthday things.

But she is waiting at home, completely unsuspecting of the terror that is to come.]

[He gives her a thumbs up before turning off the SFC and heading over.

He has a small gift box tied shut with a ribbon in hand when he knocks on her door.]

[] She opens the door, and then steps aside so Leo can come in.]

Hey there. It looks like you've made it so far without a hat.

[He steps in and laughs.]

Nah. I've tried on a lot of hats. I just don't have one on right now.

You have? But I thought you couldn't take them off by yourself.

That's what the locals and friends are for.

Anyway. [He hands her the package. Inside is a celestial bronze bunny shaped charm for her SFC. He will show her the trick to it after she opens it.] Happy birhday.

[Clever, Leo.

But she will take her present and open it, and her face lights up when she sees it.]

Wow, it's so cute! Thank you, this is adorable.

You're welcome. [He looks a little excited as he continues on. Mostly because he can't wait to see her reaction.] Push back the ears until you hear it click.

[Once she does, the rabbit casing will open up and a small stand to hold her SFC will pop up. It looks much bigger than the rabbit could logically hold. Behold the power of celestial bronze.]

[That sure is an amazing feat of engineering!]

Woah! How does that even work? There's no way that all fit in a tiny charm like that!

[Not as amazing as turning a giant dragon into a rolling suitcase.]

It's the material. Celestial bronze. It does some wicked cool shit.

[She's inspecting the stand legs now.]

Apparently 'wicked cool shit' includes 'bending the laws of reality.'

[He nods.] Pretty much.

Still, it's really cool. I can't believe you found something like this in the city.

[She fiddles with it a bit to get the legs to retract, and then she's going to work on attaching it to her SFC.]

I didn't find it. I made it with some celestial bronze I got at the Nostalgia Nook.

[He considers telling her the trick to retracting it, but she figures it out before he can say anything.]

Anyway. I'm glad you like it.

Woah wait a second, you made this?

[She is downright amazed by that. She didn't know Leo (or anyone else she knows, for that matter) was skilled enough to make something like this.]

Yeah. Took me like a day or two. [He shrugs. He doesn't see what the big deal is.]

That's amazing! I've never known anyone who could make something as cool as this! You've got a real talent, Leo.

Thanks. [He might be a little elated by the compliment, but you know, gotta play it cool or something.] Probably could have made something cooler if I'd had the time.

I dunno, this is still pretty cool.

[She'll have to remember that Leo likes building things, though.]

Good. [A big smile and a thumbs up.] It would've sucked if you didn't think it was cool.

There's no chance of that happening.

[Leo is cool, and this was made by Leo. Ergo, it is cool automatically.]

I could have gotten bum advice about you liking bunnies.

[Awww.]
