Ah...Mun...what am I doing here? I-I mean, I'm flattered that you like me so much. Even though I'm...not human. But you don't really have any plans to put me in any of these "games." I'm not comfortable being kept here just so you can "play around with" me.

If it's not necessary for me to be here then I'd rather be home. With my parents and Kotetsu and...

[....oh dear god what is this.

Did he just...stutter? Oh god, he did. Is he drunk? He doesn't look drunk. Is he drunk??

....

Wait. He just said his parents. Barnaby's parents are dead, and--

--lsdkjflskd he said 'not human', too, didn't he, WHAT IS EVEN GOING ON, Kotetsu is so confused.]

...Bun...ny?

[robobunny]

Kotetsu! [OH THANK GOD a person he trusts. Don't mind Barnaby, he'll just be over here with his friend where he is more comfortable and less crippled by social anxiety. Kotetsu will protect him from strangers.]

Is something wrong?

PFFFT I LOVED THAT SERIES YOU ARE AWESOME

[rookierabbit]

[...well, this is really weird. He didn't really expect that he'd meet himself, though he had been warned about it. It's still a pretty big shock, though.]

I can't say I understand that tendency of theirs, either.

[eyeofwildtiger]

...you feelin' okay?

OH WHY NOT hi~

[thejakeisalie]

[There is so much wrong with this situation. So much. But Barnaby chooses to focus on two tiny little words that weigh heavily on his mind.]

Your... parents?

What can I say, he got in my head and I had to share the love

[robobunny]

[Seconding the weirdness sentiment, other Barnaby. Especially since you're still apparently human. It's enough to make him go a bit deer-in-the-headlights.

...alright, that might be as much because of social anxiety as surprise. Give him a minute.]

Are most muns this...spontaneous? Because I don't think she has any plans for me at all right now. Just a few ideas of what she'd like to try. I really don't like them.

[robobunny]

Yes, Kotetsu, I feel fine.

/rolls in love

[rookierabbit]

Unfortunately, yes. I can't speak for all of them, but mine shares that same tendency. You get used to it.

[...well, they're both socially awkward, just in different ways. But he is totally sympathetic to your plight.]

Fancy meeting you here

[robobunny]

[…you're a human version of him. This is getting to be really confusing.

As soon as Barnaby gets some control of his crippling shyness: ] Well...of course. I don't want to be separated from them for no reason.

[Or at all, preferably. Don't you feel the same way, human-me?]

[eyeofwildtiger]

You seem... [He gestures randomly with his arms for a moment, trying to find juuuust the right word.]

...different.

Such a lovely day, wouldn't you say?

[thejakeisalie]

[This person is not him. He acts completely different...]

I... suppose that makes sense. [If they hadn't died 20 years ago, he might feel the same way.

Time for a distraction/subject change.] If you're me, why do you seem so different?

Oh most definately, it's just perfect for a stroll

[robobunny]

[WAIT WHAT IT'S THAT OBVIOUS OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD.

Calm down, calm down. He's probably just talking about the personality difference. He hasn't noticed anything else. Right?

Oh god hide me]

W-well, a few years of isolation can affect a person's development... [Or a sentient AI made from a person. Same thing, right?]

Shall we take one down by the river?

[thejakeisalie]

[Don't worry, he's just noticing the stammer... and the panic he can see the other-self's body language is a big clue.

Though if RoboBunny's acting doesn't get better he might notice more than that soon enough.]

That's true enough, but... [He frowns.] Why are you being isolated? [Are our parents not treating you right?]
