You knew I had high standards when you met me.

He's going to regret this, but...

[umi_no_kami]

Happy birthday.

[nobodys_king]

Well, you would make the perfect present. All you need is a suitable ribbon, though I don't think you'd trust me to select one.

[umi_no_kami]

[Here we go, his "Absolutely irritating" mode again.]

You just never give up, do you? I will credit you for that much.

[nobodys_king]

Would you expect me to?

[umi_no_kami]

Yes. Especially as you grow older.

But because it's your birthday, I will humor you this once - what would you adorn me with?

[The question is nothing short of disgusting to him, but. Damn his curiosity, sob.]

[nobodys_king]

Ah, but if I abandoned my quest, I couldn't be considered the same person, could I? It would mean leaving behind my fundamental nature.

I would, of course, adorn you with praise. But since you have to be convinced to remain in one place, there would have to be more...physical adornments as well. At least until you learned to appreciate your surroundings.

[umi_no_kami]

Is that the extent of your respect for me? You would keep me in chains?

[nobodys_king]

Don't be so gauche. The capture devices are works of art themselves, and it would only be until you learned to stay put.

[umi_no_kami]

Works of art? They are merely the physical manifestations of the only thing you feel for me - envy of my freedom.

[nobodys_king]

Funny, coming from the one who took my freedom from me. Though I don't hold it against you. Why, you never even saw my gallery.

I was freer than perhaps any human has ever been and you call me envious?

[umi_no_kami]

You had built a prison for yourself, locked yourself in... and you call that being free.

[Lugia is not angry, either, just not getting Jirarudan's logic, as always.]

[weatheredwheel]

[Oh wow oh boy!]

Happy birthday! Will you get cake?

[nobodys_king]

Perhaps, if--

--oh oh!

...Well, this is a wonderful sight...! I'm humbled by your presence.

[weatheredwheel]

Hello, Humbled By Your Presence! ...Or is it like me and you, where the words switch when we say them, so you becomes me and me becomes you?

[This language thing is confusing.]

[nobodys_king]

...I...if I follow correctly, then yes. My name is Jirarudan, if you wished to call me by name.

But I certainly know who you are.

[weatheredwheel]

[Jirarudan. If Arceus had any concept of things taking any large amount of time and were aggravating for it (and if it learned that nicknames were a thing), Arceus probably would've called him Raru or something.

But that doesn't matter because that magical word 'know' is said and Arceus prances around before it kneels and stares him in the eyes.]

You know!? My parting child, you've spoken to it? When asked who I am I say that I'm me, but I'm asked who I am by many and say the same and they ask the same. If you know who I am, do you know what I am? I have been looking and haven't found my self...

[It hasn't learned about the dangers of assumptions yet. Or lies.]

[nobodys_king]

You don't know what you are? That's no good. Have you lost your memory?

[weatheredwheel]

[Uh-oh. What is this painful feeling?]

...I split my heart with my first child, from whom others were birthed. I used my arms to make things. That is what I have done. It doesn't tell me what I am.

[nobodys_king]

I see...Well, I suppose I can tell you your name and we'll see if that brings anything back. Does...hm, does "Lugia" mean anything to you?

I'm pretty amused that "haay it's my birthday" manifested in a Legendary swarm.

[weatheredwheel]

[Arceus raises its head, straightens. It found it hard to.]

...I've heard what man has named me. You don't need to tell me that. Lugia, though...yes, the name you gave my moon child...it gave you speech, and gave a way of speaking to those who didn't. I hope to hear what I sound like - it would help me know me.

[Arceus, giving you more internal organs than eyes, a brain, and a heart would be a very bad idea. Only so much room for...well. Spoilers.]

He's that kind of guy. Legendary pokemon are his passion, after all.

[nobodys_king]

Mmm, I see. So you know the name Arceus, and have some idea of what is what.

I've studied Lugia for most of my life and I'd never heard that before. Speech?

Adding another legendary to the regret train. xD

[psychic_supremecy]

[Have a Mewtwo just staring, looking exceptionally annoyed at the pointy party hat on his head.]

[nobodys_king]

Greetings, greetings. Hm, oddly enough, you remind me of something else...

[psychic_supremecy]

Yes, I am well aware of your obsession with the original... or, as my mundane likes to refer to Mew... my 'mother.'

[nobodys_king]

Ah, of course! Although, as they say, two is better than one.
