throwing him in paradisa~

[pocketmage]

Oookay, so a magic castle that kidnaps people and slowly chips away at their souls? That doesn't sound like much fun. Not to mention the fact that I've only been in your head for... what, maybe a week officially?

[ Sigh. ]

Don't you think it's a little early to reserve me and start writing that application? I mean, you haven't even tested me out or anything! Can you even write me correctly? I'm pretty smart, you know- and you're at Lloyd's caliber.

[ A pause. ]

You don't even remember all of your multiplication tables. So how are you going to make me look smart at all?

Well, at least I hear there's a lot of people I know there, so I won't be alone... even if that's what made you want to put me there in the first place.

You know...magical antic, monsters, turning people into weird stuff like plants or animals...

[pocketmage]

Well, it could be worse. Everyone could turn into you. [ The teasing tone in his voice is a lot more obvious this time. ]

[wilder]

Ahahaha...you wish.

[pocketmage]

Imagining a castle full of you hurts my brain.

[ It really does. He wonders what all of those Zelos clones would do. ]

[wilder]

[probably a whole lot of bad life choices]

Well ya it should. That's because I'm wondrous one of a kind!

[pocketmage]

[ He snorts. ]

You'd probably all be depressed. No women to harass.

[wilder]

[a sigh]

The lack of beautiful ladies would a horrible downside, for sure.

[pocketmage]

I just hope nothing like that ever happens...

[ Because a castle-full of Zeloses? HOW WOULD HE DEAL. He'd run out of TP eventually! ]

[wilder]

I'm sure it won't.

A castle of short brats would be easier to replicate anyway.

[pocketmage]

[ Okay, that was a low blow. He huffs. ]

Really? They might have less trouble with you. Replicating my brain so many times might be difficult.

[ A jab at Zelos' intelligence? Naaah. ]

[wilder]

Oh I'm sorry, but didn't you admit once that I was smarter than you...?

[Sure it was in shock at this soul crushing revelation, but it still counts!]

[pocketmage]

It was only one problem. [ He still has his pride! ]

And I probably only said that because I was in shock. I mean, who knew?

[wilder]

Uh huh, keep denying it, squirt.

But hey if you're gonna be around maybe I'll actually get to use the gold star stickers a friend gave me.

[pocketmage]

[ ...? ]

Gold star stickers? What does that have to do with anything?

[wilder]

It's an Earth thing, one of the worlds represented in Paradisa.

Apparently if a student gets everything right on their homework assignment, the teacher sticks a gold star onto their paper.

[pocketmage]

[ ... ]

You have to be kidding me. You're not going to be in charge of my homework in Paradisa...

...

...are you?

[ He has no idea Raine's there, and he vividly remembers how she put Zelos in charge of his homework that one time... ]

[wilder]

Probably just your math homework.

[Unless Raine decides to put more on him inbetween the insane and sometimes illegal tasks she gives him. Oh the life of being a TA ]

[pocketmage]

[ Sigh. ]

Ugh, this isn't happening.

[ If only because Zelos being his teacher means that Raine acknowledged him as being better and put him in charge. Sobbbb. ]

Well, I just hope the homework's challenging enough.

[wilder]

[Oh yeah totally. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that Zelos is a decade older and has a college degree. ]

Yeah, yeah don't worry about it. It'll be nice to handle stuff that isn't the multiplication table.

[pocketmage]

[ Nope, not at all. Genis just has the biggest pride. HE IS THE SMARTEST CLEARLY. ]

... I'm guessing that was for Lloyd?

[wilder]

Who else?

[pocketmage]

[ That gets a laugh out of him. ]

Does he even do his homework?

[wilder]

Sometimes....if he can't find any excuse or escape out of it.

[pocketmage]

He probably uses the castle as an excuse a lot. [ He can just imagine that. ]

I'm guessing besides weird things happening sometimes, it's not really busy over there?

[wilder]

It's definitely slower than home, that's for sure.
