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...?"

[heroic_homemaker]

Is knowing who you are important?

[brotagonist]

[pats it]

Half the fun's in searching and finding out. You don't need to know all the details right away, right? You're already you.

[dramatispersonae]

"...it's important...I have to have something to start out with."

[heroic_homemaker]

Do you have a name?

[brotagonist]

A name's a good start. Or something you want. Or both.

[dramatispersonae]

"I don't have a name. I don't know what to want except to know who I am."
