[First, there's nothing on the screen except blue stripes on more blue. They fidget a bit, before a hand covers the screen and picks up the gear. The owner of the hand seems to be in the middle of speaking.]

--ou about stepping on my stuff?

[Through the fingers holding the gear, an annoyed teenage redhead is visible, frowning down at the Wooper previously visible. After a second he sighs, then looks at the screen.]

It's on? Rrgh, how did you -- [A sigh. He shifts his grip, moving the screen-obscuring hand. He looks kind of annoyed, the combined efforts of the Wooper and this...waking up in what he assumes is someone's idea of a joke thing. But he resists snapping at the public.]

Uh, hi.

....

Anyone else get one with a listening problem?

Comments

[imprinting]

Huh.

... So what do you do?

[stupidera.livejournal.com]

I'm the Tenth Vongola Storm Guardian so I defeat our enemies with a relentless stream of attacks that never falters. And I protect the Tenth.

What about you?

[imprinting]

... Uh. [The Game probably doesn't count now that it's over, damn. He feels lame in comparison.]

I hang out with my friends.

[stupidera.livejournal.com]

[ The Reapers' Game is still pretty cool, Neku! ]

Yeah I do that too, I guess.

[imprinting]

[Kinda hard to get into conversation, though. 'Oh hey so a week ago I was dead for almost a month, it was a thing.']

Not as exciting as your flawless attacks, huh.

[stupidera.livejournal.com]

[ True that. 'I once got shot by God or something' probably wouldn't work well either. ]

You've got that right. But the Tenth likes hanging out with us so I don't mind it too much.

[imprinting]

[Twice, even; still not good smalltalk. Neku's life is hard.]

Right. That's, uh. Exciting, I think.

[stupidera.livejournal.com]

It is. Doesn't mean it's not pretty damn lame sometimes, though.

[imprinting]

Well, now you've got a fun new pet to babysit.

[stupidera.livejournal.com]

I'd rather have Uri back.

How's your pokémon treating you? Aside from the whole not listening thing.

[imprinting]

It's kinda stupid, but it hasn't done anything completely horrible yet.

[stupidera.livejournal.com]

That's a good start. Mine just looks like an angry version of a pokéball.

[imprinting]

....

That's pretty lame. No offense.

...They can evolve into cooler looking monsters as they grow. It'll be worth it in the end.

[ Those are the words of someone who has never seen an Electrode. ]

[imprinting]

[Poor, unsuspecting Gokudera.]

Always a silver lining?

[stupidera.livejournal.com]

[ It'll be a great surprise ]

Yeah. Maybe your Wooper'll change into something cool looking too.

[imprinting]

Yeah, hopefully. It's just kind of stupid looking now.

[stupidera.livejournal.com]

Let me know if it does evolve. I'm kind of interested.

[imprinting]

... Okay. Lemme know when yours turns into something cooler, too.

[stupidera.livejournal.com]

Deal. Just try not to be jealous when that time comes.

[imprinting]

I'll try to contain my envy.
