Meet the Pyro: Coming sometime between now and the end of the world.

[notintehkitchen]

Hey, mun.

I know my super amazing introduction is about to unfold but you keep saying two words that really confuse me.

"Meet the Pyro" I understand "coming", I also understand. Now, this "Valve time" I don't! What is it? It is not something I can translate or understand properly....

They can't help it, they just want human brains like I want bacon. I feel bad for them. Maybe I can keep one for a pet.

[hasstandards]

You can think for yourself. They can't. There's a difference.

[notintehkitchen]

Well, maybe they need the brains to think better.

[hasstandards]

They'd need 'em in their heads, not their stomachs.

[notintehkitchen]

We don't know how zombie anatomy works. Maybe we should ask Sensei.

[hasstandards]

You can ask 'im. I'm not goin' near a Medic if I don't have to.

[notintehkitchen]

How come? I like Sensei he's funny and cranky like you are.

[hasstandards]

Never really gotten along with 'em, honestly.

[notintehkitchen]

But you don't get along with anyone except dogs.

[hasstandards]

I like to think I get along with you well enough.

in bed. because I have thighs.

[notintehkitchen]

I don't know why you like me, I act completely different from you.

[She doesn't even like throwing pee.]

There, too.

[hasstandards]

Well, you wouldn't want me to be just like you, would you?

I like you because you have thighs and I think you are the c-word but won't say it. /tsun

[notintehkitchen]

I wouldn't want you to be a girl.

[hasstandards]

Me either.

The point is that even though we're pretty different, it's not bad, right? Y'know, us?

[notintehkitchen]

As a...?

[Couple?]

[hasstandards]

[His brow furrows as he waits for her to put it together.]

Together. Us. You and me.

[notintehkitchen]

Of course! I love you!

[hasstandards]

You say that to a lot of people.

[notintehkitchen]

Fine, I'll only say it to you and Jell-O... and Teriyaki.

[hasstandards]

[A pause. He wasn't expecting that.]

But would you mean it?

[notintehkitchen]

I would. I promise. I won't look at anyone else.

[hasstandards]

It's not that I don't want ya lookin' at anyone else. Well, not like, um.

[His face reddens. He'll try that again.]

You're welcome to talk to whoever you want, pumpkin. I just... Hm.

[Words are hard.]

I suppose what I'm tryin' to say is that I want to mean as much to you as you mean to me, Momo. It's hard for me to say things like that because I'm not used to it. I wouldn't say it to anyone but you.

[notintehkitchen]

Alan is the jealous type, isn't he? That's cute.

[And there she goes patting him on the head and nuzzling up against him affectionately.]

[hasstandards]

[Watch him try not to smile. Just watch.]

Maybe just a little.

[Understatement of the year.]

[notintehkitchen]

...

[Pyro looks off far in the distance for a long period of time. Her mind trails to something her mun told her. If it was true, their relationship would be a little more realistic--at least that's what her mun keeps telling her.]

Hey, Alan.

What happened if I really was a girl?
