The kitchen does not have a door that can close, just the hall and the big doors on the other side.

The bathtub careens down the stairs after you and charges Lloyd again, teeth gnashing.

The spoon is very shiny.

[brotagonist]

[I hope that your distorted, upside-down reflection deep in the bowl of that spoon helps you to important conclusions about your reemerging personal identity.

I guess I am doing my best to whale on this bathtub.]

WHAT THE HELL

[heroic_homemaker]

[I DEFINITELY HAVE EYES AGAIN oh wait something is happening. Maybe I should... Yes I think I will try to stab the bath with a spoon, good job me.]

[dramatispersonae]

CLANG CLANG CLANGGGGG you're taking chips and fragments out of it and it's slowing down, but it won't give up!

Light from the rip reflects off Taisuke's spoon and . . . sends a small laser into the kitchen ceiling . . . though the actual bopping isn't very effective.

[heroic_homemaker]

[SPOON LASER IS ALSO GOOD, right in the mouth]

[brotagonist]

[you need this thing's mouth open and pointed towards you so in order to make that happen I'm going to keep knocking chips and hopefully some plumbing fixtures off this bathtub without even touching that last sentence]

[dramatispersonae]

IYAAAAAAAAAAAAAN

Taisuke's spoon laser blows a hole in the bottom of the tub . . . between that and Lloyd's attacks it shudders, takes another half-hearted snap, and then . . . slumps down dead.

You've killed this romance before it was ever even born.

320 EXP GAINED

Something falls on Taisuke's head.

[heroic_homemaker]

Oh, that happened again. [Picks it up. Possibly still firing his spoon laser.]

[brotagonist]

[can I just

take the spoon gently away from you. also, what did he pick up?]

[dramatispersonae]

It's a tiny white chickadee...

[heroic_homemaker]

[Let's the spoon go, bringing the chickadee up to his eye level.]

[brotagonist]

Hey, it's cute.

[dramatispersonae]

It fluffs. "You saved me!"

[heroic_homemaker]

['You', that's right, I'm a 'you'.] We did?

[brotagonist]

...were you in the bathtub?

[dramatispersonae]

"I was . . . trying to find out who I was . . ."

[heroic_homemaker]

You are a bird.

[brotagonist]

Who do you want to be?

[dramatispersonae]

"I'm a bird? -- I don't know."

[heroic_homemaker]

Isn't that okay?

[brotagonist]

[fluffs the bird a little :|a]

[dramatispersonae]

It peeps. "Is it? I want to be someone."

[heroic_homemaker]

But... [Frowns, concentrating.] You are.

[brotagonist]

Yeah! Just by being alive, you're someone who exists in this world!

[dramatispersonae]

Unsure. "...and...?"
