026. [dictated]

[foolreversed]

[it's a while after Adachi discovered his new blank journal that he runs into another surprise: his Christmas present from the castle.

His just closed journal opens back up again as he falls back against his table, knocking it off]

H-How... What... How did you get here!?

[something actually replies back to him, and it sure doesn't sound human... or like any animal. In fact it is very screechy and just bizarre. But at least it sounds... happy?]

Scree!

No... no, no, no! You've gotta go back to where you came from, right now!

...screee?

Go! Oh geez if anyone finds you we are both so screwed.

[a brief silence. TIME TO GET MORE AGGRESSIVE.]

Go on! Get lost! Get the hell outta my sight!

[but then whatever-it-is just makes those screechy noises again. This time very distinctively UNHAPPILY, almost like crying. It also sounds like something just slithered away.]

No! Don't hide behind there! Crap... I'm sorry, I'm not rejecting you! Come on out? Be a good little-


(ooc: so because Adachi had literally nothing he could give a shit about back home, the castle gave him a tame, non-violent baby shadow as a pet. Basically he's got this.)

[GUESS WHO'S OUT CHECKING DOORS IN TERRERE TOWER, NEIGHBOR... Aradia knocks on Adachi's door a few times.]

Hello! Everything all right in here?

[foolreversed]

[Adachi is currently half under his bed (his... third new one since coming here, goddamnit he should just go back to futons) trying to get the Shadow to come out when he hears Aradia.

Shiiiiiiit.]

I'm fine- [tries to get up WAY TOO FAST- HI HEAD MEET BED] Ow!!

[psych0p0mps]

[geez adachi how did you break the first two oh wait probably exactly like this]

[Aradia tries the door. That yelling didn't sound all right! If it's unlocked, she'll just poke her head in.]

Adachi?

[foolreversed]

[he didn't break them!!! ...by himself anyway. the first one was the first gens and then the second was the castle's awful humor when Terezi wished him up a giant ball of cheese

It is indeed unlocked! So Aradia gets to see Adachi slowly start to crawl back out, a dust bunny or two stuck to the front of his suit. He's rubbing his head]

H-Hi Aradia...

[foolreversed]

N-Nothing! Don't worry about it Fluttershy, e-everything's all-

[foolreversed]

...Wait.

Fluttershy

[foolreversed]

[SLAPS A FILTER ON THIS]

W-Wait a minute!! Fluttershy, you really like animals right?!

Adachi

[3_butterflies]

Huh? ... Oh, yes, I do! I love animals.

Fluttershy

[foolreversed]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeven if they're a little weird? And not exactly a "cute woodland creature"...?

Adachi

[3_butterflies]

[you horrid enabler.]

A-huh. No matter the shape or the size, I love all animals... from cute little mice, to big grizzly bears!

Fluttershy

[foolreversed]

[LOOK HE'S IN A BIT OF A PICKLE OKAY DON'T JUDGE also grizzlies what]

O-Okay... C-Can I trust you with something...?

Adachi

[3_butterflies]

[what so maybe in canon she kinda snapped a bear's neck you of all people shouldn't judge]

Or course, we're friends.

Fluttershy

[foolreversed]

[thank you for reminding me of that scene i am grinning like an idiot about it all over again]

Okay... could you come to my room please? I've kinda... got a situation with an... animal of sorts, I guess. I'm afraid someone's gonna try and kill him if they find him!

Adachi

[3_butterflies]

Oh, no! I'll come over right now!

[off she gallops!]

Fluttershy

[foolreversed]

Thanks a lot! It's 2002 in Terrere tower!

[WAITS]

[3_butterflies]

[Moments later, there is a hoof knocking at the door. Gotta be polite.]

[foolreversed]

[cautiously opens the door. He looks relieved to see it's Fluttershy but he does look around to make sure no one else is around before letting her in]

Come in... The little guy's hiding right now. I think I upset him... [DADDY'S SORRY BABY RLY ; A;]

[3_butterflies]

[She carefully walks in, looking around for whatever 'he' may be.]

What kind of animal is it?
