Homeless, Possibly Forever

[reaperchop]

So you went through all that trouble to put together this account for me for no reason other than to have some fun from time-to-time?

Well, I can't argue with that! It's good to get out and stretch my legs so to speak!

And stop fretting over the name you entered in my profile. I've been around the block long enough to have earned a variety of names! Really, you'd be surprised how many ways different people address me. As long as they're familiar with who I am and it's not too rude, I don't mind~!

Comments

well I was thinking about it anyway!

[perfectorder]

[just. going to ignore head!twin and amnesia!twin feud up there...wait does that make the set triplet. whatever. FOR THE RECORD MY ANGST IS GREATER—]

It's...good to see you again, Father.

[a bit strained but he otherwise looks collected as always.]

Pfffft. What is this, an angst contest?

[reaperchop]

[He's going to be all bouncy but stops before he starts. Something's...off.]

Hello there, Kid! Always good to see you and those cute stripes of yours. How've you been?

he can be competitive o:

[perfectorder]

[even though he always hated it when his father mentioned his stripes let alone called them cute, for once he doesn't even show his usual sign of annoyance.]

There have been better days.

Against himself. Selves. ...How the hell does this work?

[reaperchop]

[Uh oh. No stripe reaction? Something bad must've happened.]

Why don't you tell me more about it, son?

i gave up trying to make sense of that a looong time ago :D

[perfectorder]

[tell him what? that in his universe, no—their universe his father was...

...no, he couldn't. though perhaps his mun might fill him in.]

There have just been a few difficult missions that have recently happened with a third on the way. But we are continuing our preparations and things have been going in a positive direction.

Actually, I picture this Death being more from the manga, but the argument with Asura kind of threw

[reaperchop]

((OOC: me off. Bad mun, no biscuit. Though who knows? Maybe it'd be better if he was from the anime rather than the manga. Less to keep track of if nothing else.))

Hmm...that's good to know.

But you know, Kid, that tells me how the Academy is doing. What about you?

fffff up to you man XD

[perfectorder]

I'm fine.

[stop asking that.]

I will have to think it over and decide, I suppose. XD

[reaperchop]

[Death slumps, sighing.]

If you're sure...

[If a death god can give puppy eyes, well, you're getting them right now, Kid.]

[perfectorder]

[no he's not, actually. but he does feel a bit more confident than he did about a week ago.

...also that is not helping. they are affecting him, but not in the way that it was probably intended for. talking with him, seeing him—after almost ten months it was difficult.]

I'm certain.

[a lie, but seriously. it's not like he could tell him the truth.]

At any rate, I see you've been rather busy here.

[deflect. yet another tactic he learned.]

[reaperchop]

Oh come now. I'm never too busy for my son.

One of my sons.

...

Well, you get the idea.

[perfectorder]

You must find it confusing.

[reaperchop]

A bit, yes. To suddenly go from one son to triplets takes some adjustment.

However, that doesn't mean I'm displeased by it. It's just the family growing, after all. The more the merrier!

[perfectorder]

You do realize we are still essentially the same being, correct?

[reaperchop]

The same root, yes, but not necessarily the same person. It's much like you and me. We are, in essence, the same being but we're not exactly the same. We're like different leaves on the same shamrock!

[perfectorder]

...

Father, that entire dialogue would have sounded better had you not included that shamrock analogy.

[deadpan voice is deadpan.]

However, what you say is true.

[there are differences between them all, no doubt about that.]

[reaperchop]

I thought it was a rather good analogy personally!

[perfectorder]

In a sense, but still inappropriate for the context and tone of the dialogue.

[reaperchop]

[Considering this. Hmm...]

Well, I suppose you have a point there, Kiddo.

At any rate, I hope you yourself haven't been too busy.

[Gonna try and get info on your situation in a roundabout way? You bet.]

[perfectorder]

[of course he has a point.

but Father, no, stop it. can't we just pretend things are normal and not have angst? how is he supposed to answer this? does he take yet another page from his father and also skirt around the issue? or be more like he usually is—direct and straight to the point? clear and concise? but how can he be that way about...this?]

Things... [there's a slight pause there—as if there wasn't enough hesitation to begin with.] Things have settled a bit.

[not a lie. not exactly very specific or detailed, but not a lie.]

[reaperchop]

[...That's probably the best he's going to get at this time. His boy has learned well and for once Death wishes Kid wasn't such a good student.]

That's good news indeed! Gives you plenty of time to relax!

[perfectorder]

[...this is killing him. he can only "not lie" so much and he can't do this for much longer. divert divert!]

Not as much as you likely have been lately—or will if your mun truly has no plans for you.

[reaperchop]

Well, she thought about sending me to that dreamworld place that other Kid is in, but she's afraid of...um..."munches"? I don't really understand it.

But, for the most part, she's planning to keep me around for just fun in memes and museboxes and here.

[perfectorder]

[slight arch of the brow.]

...Munches?

[...yeah he can't figure that one out either.]

Though to be honest, I would have to wonder what you would do within another world. After all, you wouldn't be tied down to anything and you would have to abide by its rules.

[which...actually was a good thing. strange, but he wouldn't mind seeing his father free roaming once more.]

[reaperchop]

[Death listens as his mun flails her arms and repeats a word.]

Oh! "Muncest"!

...I still have no idea what that means.

[He does take a moment to think over that last part.]

Y'know, Kiddo, I never thought that much about it. Being tied down to rules is no trouble for me, but to be able to move beyond the boundaries of Death City would be a treat.

[perfectorder]

[...ah.]

It's because she has Liz there. It's likely she's concerned that Liz and you would have to interact.

[.......okay that sounded really weird. and he's not as "used" to this whole fourth wall thing as his headtwin since he doesn't get out here as much.]

...In any case, it seems to be a rule and frowned upon for muns to have muses that have a close in relationship in one place. I'm not sure how much of it would be affected in this case, but it is an issue to heavily consider.

[and of course his father would just think of it as a "treat."]

I suppose it has been a while for you, hasn't it?
