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.

Oh hey look, it's the brat.

[pocketmage]

Oh, hey, it's the jerk. [ Not sounding too enthusiastic... ] My day just can't get any worse, can it?

[wilder]

Oh yeah. We were short on Gald so we decided to sell most of your stuff. [Lying, of course]

[pocketmage]

Really? I guess I won't have to apologize for sticking sap all over your sword, then. That's a relief.

[ Not believing you, Zelos. Do you believe him? ]

[wilder]

...See. This is exactly why I tried to convince them to sell you too.

[pocketmage]

But you're much more trouble to lug around. It'd just be easier to sell you... but then again, I'm not sure if we'd get any buyers.

[wilder]

Ahahaha, please. You'd get more than enough- but the problem is no one could possibly afford a prize like me~!

[pocketmage]

A prize? Oh, brother. [ This is his disbelieving face. ]

Well, if you're a prize, we could always give you away for free. Then you'll be gone anyway.

[wilder]

[an annoyed noise] Watch it, you little brat.

[pocketmage]

Hehehe.

2/2

[pocketmage]

... So what are you doing here, anyway?

[wilder]

Paradisa? Uh, I got kidnapped? Like everyone else does?

[pocketmage]

... oh, so you're going to be there? [ Sob. ]

[wilder]

Yep!

[He'll be moving to grabbing the kid into a headlock]

Aren't you ever so lucky!

[pocketmage]

Gah!

[ He wasn't expecting the headlock, okay. ]

Yeah, really unlucky.

I think my mun hates me...

[wilder]

Didn't I tell you to shut up?

[RUFFLES UP HIS HAIR]

And don't be such a downer. Lloyd, Sheena and Colette are there too! [Your sister too...but with her not remembering you...well, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it]

[pocketmage]

Actually, I don't think you said that. And quit touching my hair!

[ Grumble, grumble. He squirms in the headlock.

But at the mention of Lloyd and the others, he brightens up just the slightest. He makes sure to keep that under check, though, considering it's Zelos he's talking to here. ]

Huh, really? I guess it's not that bad, then.

What's it like, anyway, living there?

[wilder]

What? It's not like I can make it look worse.

[One more ruffle and then he releases Genis from his grip]

Paradisa? Oh, you know...pretty dull when there's no weird stuff going on.

[pocketmage]

[ Glad he was let go, he kind of pats his hair down. Not like that does anything. ]

... Weird stuff? Like what?

[ He's never been in a game before. Poor guy... ]

[wilder]

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.
