[See Lea. See Lea looking really rather contemplative on the screen. Something keeps cooing somewhere off screen.]

So. First of all, what exactly do you even do for a wedding? I know Demyx is too much of a slacker for it, and I'm, jeez, I'm just eighteen.

[Pause.]

Almost eighteen. In a few days. Listen, now we're just being picky, but the point is, weddings, how do they even work?

Secondly- oh jeez Arden, c'mon-

[To those who've seen Lea around, they might have noticed a little fox like creature follow him around. What crawls onto his lap doesn't look anything like that. The fluff, the tan and brown, all of that... Not there. What is in his lap and peering into the screen is something else entirely. It's this little guy instead.]

[And then it makes a trademark Chocobo 'waaaaark'.]

So, uh, I think Arden... evolved, that's the word, right? Eevee can turn into seven different forms, aaaand... Espeon. [He snas his fingers.] There we go. I don't suppose anyone can tell me more about this little guy?

[Another wark. Despite looking like a cat, or a fox, Arden certainly seems more prone to making bird noises than anything.]

Also, uh-

[A chirp, but offscreen this time, and a small little ball of feathery fluff flops onto Arden's head. It's yellow, like any chocobo chick, but something seems to... glow about it. Lea flushes.]

The egg hatched. The, uh, chocobo egg that Stein left behind ages ago.

...

[Lea he cannot believe you sometimes. How the fuck do you plan to have a wedding and not even know what to do for one? Eridan knows--well he knows what Karkat told him. Though, he's hardly about to go on about it when all he knows is from a second hand source; a human would be better at explaining it anyways. Instead, once he's done being acquainted with the palms of his hands out of sheer secondhand embarrassment, he plans to ask about something else.]

Is that one a your earth beasts or somethin'? An' what the fuck do you mean ewolwed? Sewen forms? What the fuck kinda beasts do you fuckin' hawe? I mean the damn flapbeasts were odd enough on their own, but what the fuck are you makin'? Some kinda gallery a odd as fuck beasts or somesuch?

[Don't look at him like that! Sob. These things are hard okay. He's never even been to a wedding before, he just has a vague idea of how these things go.]

Heck no, this one isn't from Radiant Garden. [Lea grins as he picks up Arden, letting the chickling flutter up to hide in his red hair.] Arden's from another world entirely! Some of the people who've been here are from this world where they have these animals called Pokemon that can do really cool stuff! When they have enough experience or something, they can turn into a different form! Like growin' up. Or like bugs. I guess. Hold on!

[Bolting off-screen with Arden in tow before he comes back a minute later with a book.]

Also, a gallery of odd beasts would be rad, let's not lie to ourselves here. Anyway... [Flip, flip, flip... Found it! Lea turns the book to face the SFC, where it's opened to a page with a picture of Eevee in the middle and arrows pointing to seven other creatures, Arden's new Espeon form among them.] It's like this!

Normally, evolving Eevee needs a stone or something, but if they're really happy with ya, they can turn into a Espeon or this one called an Umbreon. So I've been keepin' this collar on him that would keep him from evolvin', because I figured he needed some time before he could decide what he wanted to be, but I took his collar off this morning to give him a bath, and, uh...

[Arden makes another, rather pleased Chocobo 'wark!'.]

Well I guess he's happy.

[Wow that was way more than he actually cared to listen to... But, it does make some sense to be honest, because, well...]

So, basically Fidus Spawn?

[But...]

Wait, so baths made it ewolwe? How fuckin' weird.

Fidus what.

[And also? Just a long drawn out snicker.]

Dude, no. Just no.

Fidus Spawn, it's some shitty fuckin' game for losers were you'we these fuckin' beasts that spawn from these fuckin' spheres an' you make 'em kill each other an' they grow and get stronger--I don't fuckin' know. Sounds similar either way with the ewolwin' an' shit.

[A flat look.]

What? You said you gawe it a bath an' it ewolwed!

Edited 2012-03-22 00:23 (UTC)

Sounds cool! Except for the whole killing thing.

[More laughter.]

I took off his collar and that's why he evolved!

[Arden chirps in confirmation.]

It's only right the one that's defeated dies. What's the point in keepin' it around?

[What]

... That's just as stupid, why the fuck would takin' off collars do anythin' a the fuckin' sort? What other meanin'less shit do they ewolwe from? Brushin' their fur? Rubbin' their belly?
