... As I am every day?
You'd want a plush as plain as that? I suppose I could make it one you could change the clothes out on, if you wanted... to make it a bit more interesting...

[Not that he thinks he's plain - just, y'know. He feels a plush based on his normal ol' everyday self would be.]

Of course I do. I want a regular plush of you to hug when I'm upset, Ol Bliar.

...

[He's thinking about that, obviously, bringing a hand up to tap his chin a little as he turns that over in his mind.]

... I suppose I could do that for you. But if that's the purpose you want it for, why wouldn't you just look for me?

Sometimes you're busy. -I know you would make time for me even if you were with someone else, I remember our conversation, but if you're on a mission or a quest in the Segments...

[Sometimes it simply isn't possible to hug him right then.]

Ah - in that case, I can understand. It's not as though I can just will myself across Ellipsa for you, after all...
Would you want it weighted?

... It's nice, sometimes. Having something weighted to hug like that.

I know you would if you could. -And probably will once you learn spring fast travel, honestly.

[Would Louis ditch an important mission to go hug her? 100%. She doesn't think he'd even hesitate.]

Weighted would be perfect.

[He wouldn't even pause long enough to think it through, really. He'd just be there, and THAT'S when he'd realize he probably fast-traveled out of something he shouldn't have.

(It's probably a good thing he doesn't have his fast travel yet.)]

Weighted it is, then. ... And I'll start learning that fast travel ability, too - if only so I can be "on hand", so to speak, when you need me.
It would be useful, anyway - I like using my bike to get around, but many districts in Nightwake just aren't made with wheels in mind.

[Honestly, there's a couple districts that he just outright avoids because of that.]

I'm a big fan! I use it all the time to be over at the hotel in two minutes.

[For the obvious reasons she visits him.]

Your bike definitely looks way cooler, though.

You certainly make it look easy... I must admit, I'm worried about "fast-traveling" into a wall or something equally as harrowing.
A bit like a glitch in a video game, but messier.

[Something something Bethesda something something.]

... If I could just use my bike wherever I wish, that would be so much easier.

Hmmmmmm.

Okay, this might be stupid, but given the ridiculous technology and magic levels available, maybe you could get your bike modified to fly? Then it really wouldn't matter what the roads were like.

...

[...

Considering the look on his face, it's clear he's never considered that idea. And he's now considering it very hard.]

I... could potentially make it fly. Couldn't I? If I were to tap into the bike's Remnant, perhaps... or possibly buy a second Remnant from home?
I wonder if Nine could figure that out...

I don't know what a Remnant is, please describe it to me in nerdy detail.

Ah - the leftover energy of a soul. When you collect a soul, you're sort of "cutting" is essence out of an energetic shell, and that shell is the Remnant.
It's our main power source among the dead, though it can also be used for various purposes based on its color... for example, a Red-colored Remnant could be used as the heating element in a little, personal heater.

[...]

At least, that's what I know of it. That's more, ah... Violet core territory, as it delves into technology and the like...

Ohhhh. Not totally dissimilar from enkephalin, it sounds like? That's the energy source created from work with Abnormalities.

Well - what is enkephalin comprised of? If it's anything related to consciousness, then I'd say it's likely very similar.
What with everything being made of psychoplasm and all.

[Psychoplasm being the matter that forms consciousness, of course. ... Has either of them explained that to her?
Who knows. Probably.]

That sounds about right! Higher brain activity produces more enkephalin.

...Although, since I have no interest in selling power to people here, its main use here is getting immortals drunk.

- Oh?

[Pausing, thinking, turn that over in his mind -]

... Oh. That must be the main ingredient in MK's cocktails, then.

Yep! I'm his supplier.

[She hasn't been giving it out for free recently, so it's probably fine to say it...]

Ahh, I see - that makes much more sense, then. I'd wondered how he was able to mix thing even I could have...
At least, without it being made of magic from among the dead, at any rate.

[It's not as if Grim Reapers don't get drunk, after all. Just, y'know... they get drunk via magic booze, because that's all they have.]

I mean, he is some kind of divine stone monkey with absurd powers and friends with equally absurd powers. I wouldn't be surprised if there was something similar in his world.

Also very true, yes. ... Though, from what I've seen of his powers, I'm not exactly sure I would want to consume anything he made using them.

[Back during the whole Labuwu craze, Louis was watching the guy set up a stall with those ultra-perceptive eyes of his - and saw the split-second, nearly-invisible instant where that stall turned to hair.
Just... hair.

He thinks about it a lot.]

... That said, he does produce some very nice wines with his Pokemon's help. Have I shared any with you?
He gave me something close to four bottles for my birthday.

Yeah, I guess the thought of drinking hair isn't great, even if it's obviously not going to feel like that. I have a monster-pattern bikini that he made me and it's a treasured possession.

You haven't! I don't usually drink anything heavy enough to get me drunk, but if it's at home with you...
