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~!

Is your mundane planning to send you somewhere else? Or given you indication that she doesn't want you to be there anymore?

[He's curious as to how these muns work because he thought you only left those games when your mun gets bored of you.]

However, you have been working with Liz at the very least, haven't you? It's still a step forward, Kiddo. You're using only one gun willingly.

[soulsymmetrical]

She's contemplated sending me to other places, but not removing me from Somarium. Even so, things could change and I can't grow complacent.

We still haven't properly resonated, and since this world is different from ours, there's no way I could advance her or Patti to actual Deathscythes.

[reaperchop]

Y'know, it wouldn't hurt if you enjoyed yourself every once in a while. Just took a breather and relaxed. It might help loosen you up enough to be able to establish a resonance connection.

[soulsymmetrical]

It's hard to relax when there are threats and dangers that happen at least once every other month.

[reaperchop]

Yes, but when's the last time that you took some time away from preparing for what's next to, say, play a game of basketball with your friends?

[soulsymmetrical]

...

[uh...er... .... .......last real recreational activity was that skateboard race with Beat. ....months ago. of course in the future of this thread he'll be participating in a horror movie marathon and somehow be attacked by three (slightly) older girls but that's for later. ...uh.]

...I suppose you have a point.

[reaperchop]

[Death sighs.]

Please tell me you at least remember the last time you spent time relaxing with friends.

[soulsymmetrical]

[it's Kid, okay. once he's in work mode it's hard to get him out of it.]

Yes, I do.

[reaperchop]

Oh good! I was about to get more worried!

[soulsymmetrical]

There's nothing to worry about, Father.

[reaperchop]

I'm always going to worry about you, Kiddo. I'm your father. It's in the job description. You'll understand when you have kids of your own someday.

[soulsymmetrical]

[Speaking of which, Dad how was I born Who is my mother Am I really just a fragment of your being so I'm like some sort of coral clone How does sex work for a death god Did you really have to tempt me to ask that]

That won't be for a while.

[reaperchop]

[He'll tell you when you're older, Kid. If you look at how long your kind tends to live, you're practically still a baby.]

I figured as much. Really, I'm in no rush to see my grandchildren just yet.

[Assuming he'd be alive for that...]

[soulsymmetrical]

[But Dad. People actually ask me this question I gotta know.

......his father as a grandfather. okay as amusing an image as that would be, why were they even on this subject.]

That's a matter to be discussed at a more appropriate time.

[reaperchop]

[How badly do you want the answer now?]

[He would totally spoil his grandkids. And they're on this subject because you brought it up, Kid.]

Hmm...too true. I'd say you've got a few hundred years before you start thinking about that sort of thing.

[soulsymmetrical]

[...It's kind of flip-flopping.

um. no??? you're the one who brought up about him being a father one day.]


At the very least not until the world has regained its proper balance.

[reaperchop]

[And then you took it to the next level by asking questions.]

A very good idea, Kiddo! It's hard enough being a father while managing death during peacetime. It'd be unfair to do that when it was otherwise.

[soulsymmetrical]

[yeah. well. ...GONNA MAKE IT WORSE.]

In that case, why was I born?

[he's actually not really seeking a serious answer. but you kind of set that one up.]

[reaperchop]

[...Dammit, Kid.]

My reasoning was purely logical at the beginning: making sure that death walked the Earth again. I had to wait until I was sure that if something went wrong, the Academy would survive without me. It's no simple process bringing new life into the world whether it's a human or a death god.

I'm not entirely proud that that was my primary motivation at the start. However, things have significantly changed, Kiddo. You're everything I could've hoped for and more, and I couldn't be prouder of you.

[soulsymmetrical]

[o......kay. definitely not what he was expecting. well, not an actual answer, anyway. the first part made perfect sense and he found not fault in that. in fact it was what he always suspected, anyway.

it was the last part that made him, well, unable to find words. instead he found himself just a smidgen flustered by it and wound up clearing his throat a bit as he looked away a little.]

Er...thank you, Father.

[..yeah he didn't know what else to say other than that.]

[reaperchop]

[He can give a straight answer! Sometimes.]

You're welcome, Kid.
