That is very much part of it all, yes. Though I may keep the announcement to the Sinsmas party as a nice middle ground. I will have to ask him if that will be okay first, of course.
[He'd sent Evangeline a text, of course, asking her to meet him at the house - making sure that this was a point in the day where she doesn't have a shift, and hopefully had no plans with anyone else. Didn't tell her why, though. Why would he? That would ruin the surprise!
Once she's in the front door, though... Chipp's there in the foyer, big ol smile on his screen - one hand on his hip as the other ushers her in, because this is also a surprise for you, reading this, what would be the fun if I just had him do this exactly as I suggested he would --]
[He's now just chuckling outright, tilting himself forward a little before pulling his head out of his helmet - very, very particular in how he does it, as if he's trying to hide whatever's inside there...?
But also as if he's trying his best to keep it level, too, like there's something in there he doesn't want to jostle too much.]
- I been thinkin', this place a li'l too quiet! Maybe even kinda... y'know, lonely. So...
[He lifts his helmet, then, between the two of them.]
Here. Go ahead, stick your hand in there - promise it won't bite! ... Or if it does, it won't hurt none! 'S real little, y'know.
It makes me sad thinking you treat yourself that way too. I can't be mad. Because I get it. Maybe we should check in with each other sometimes? Support each other. Would that be something you wanna do?
[She'll definitely bump whatever's in there a little bit, but whatever it is, it's soft and fuzzy and warm - and also immediately starts pawing at her arm to try and climb her EGO suit's sleeve. Y'know, as you do.
If she pulls it out, though... she'll find a sweet little orange tabby kitten in her hand, clinging onto her like she's the best cat tree it has ever seen in its little tiny life.
And Chipp, of course, looks thrilled. ... As thrilled as he CAN look, anyway, but like. Thrilled nonetheless!!]
Ouais, right...!? 'S what I thought! 'N look - looks like he already likes ya, too!
[Considering the little kitten's trying to climb her like a tower, of course. And he's gonna go ahead and plunk his helmet back on!]
So... you wanna keep him then? ... I ain't gonna make ya keep him if you don't wanna, 'course - guy who sold'im to me knows that there a chance I might bring'im back. But, y'know...
I don't know? -But another living being is a lot to be responsible for. I have Mizu and Frills, but they can take care of their own needs to some extent, what if he relies on me and I fail him?
Oh I am so excited. And yes. Though he will want to tell some people on his own. Should I ask the people who I tell at the party to keep it a secret? Would that even work?
Hmmm, I'm not sure... But there's no harm in asking? As long as he doesn't take too long, it's exciting news and I wouldn't be surprised if someone blurts it out without meaning to.
More like you can help in ways plus getting railed. Or railing me. Because this really helped. I realized this isn't really what I like that much. Like the roleplay was more fun than the actual degradation. I'd play this again with you.
