Testing, testing, 1...2...3 and 7.

[chokmah]

Good. Yes! ♪

Now tell me, that wasn't so hard was it? Mmm? Keep in mind I could've snuck out any time, but it'd have been dull with you still moping around. So then, what next? Since we're here, we'd better check in on everyone. Besides, it'll help you get over your stage fright.

[Don't look like that, Mundane. It's almost exactly the same thing.]

No worries, I'll handle all the talking. You just follow my lead. If you start feeling anxious again, you can hold onto Luke for me. He likes having his ears scratched.

Luke?

[Wait what? Ion was going to properly greet you Peony, but that comment about Luke and ear-scratching has distracted him.]

[chokmah]

[Now there's a face he hasn't seen in a while.]

A fitting name, wouldn't you say, Fon Master? My Luke may be young, but he's got an adult appetite. He'll munch his way through a bowl of carrots in three minutes flat.

[Of course, he also likes rolling in mud and upsetting the houseplants. Not much can be done about that.]

[7th_was_closest]

I suppose it is a fitting name.

[Oh right, the rappigs. Ion smiles and stifles a soft laugh.]

Have your been well?

[chokmah]

[See? See? And you all told him naming his pets after other people was a bad idea. Shame!]

Well enough now that the council isn't breathing down my neck. [Have a dismissive wave of the arm. Sorry Sesemann.] And you, Ion?

[You don't mind if he calls you by your name, right? Good.] Things must be very different for you here than they were back in Daath.

[7th_was_closest]

[Well, only Jade said that. Ion was just amused by it.]

I'm glad to hear that. I'm doing well. [As much as he can anyway.]

I don't spend much time in this place. My player has me passing between three others at the moment. But they are very different.

[chokmah]

Good, good. And no longer being chased down by the six God-Generals, I hope.

[He's still new to all this mundane business, but hey, it isn't so bad. Probably.]

Three others?

[7th_was_closest]

No. I've seen Sync recently, but he's gone now. [Because he kinda died.]

Yes, three. It means meeting a lot of interesting people.

[chokmah]

Sync, huh? [Things just keep getting more interesting. Better take notes, Mundane.]

Sounds like a good time. Wouldn't mind exploring a few myself, but it'll take some convincing to get my friend here to go for it.

So, have you met any nice girls?

[fonistfondler]

My, my!

I dare say I've never seen such a pretty face. Well, not since this morning in the mirror.

[chokmah]

[Don't mind the humorously exaggerated scrutiny. Tan complexion, check. Blond hair, good good. Royal bearing - yep, all there!]

Hey! Excellent job, man. You look and sound just like me.

[fonistfondler]

[Good, good.

He expected as much.]

I was just going to say the same thing. Seems like you've read my mind.

[chokmah]

Ha. Wonder if you can read mine.

[Sure beats sitting around waiting for something to happen. He grins and holds up a hand.] I'll give you three guesses!

[fonistfondler]

[Guess number one...]

How cute Jade gets when you scratch under his chin? [With his cute little tail and that adorable oinking?]

[chokmah]

That's true. He does get especially adorable when given a chin scratch. [Who can resist a happy rappig?] ...But that's not all of it.

Next!
