This is Evangeline! Sorry, I'm a little busy right now, but leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!

[abnormalizes]

Oh good, I'm not very subtle.

So you're dating someone here! Congratulations.

[kingside]

[Subtle is definitely not the word to describe Evangeline, and oh good, it's all his nightmares at once.]

I am, yes. Thank you.

>Yes, he's aware that she's likely about to ask who and he could probably make this a lot easier for himself by just saying so now, but. No.]

[abnormalizes]

Who is it? What are they like? Is this a new thing or were you dating at home?

[kingside]

[Why this.]

It's Suzaku. He's... an old friend. It happened because of those experiments they were doing that had people sharing memories, emotions, and so on.

[abnormalizes]

Those are good for emotional honesty, yeah.

[Not that she's implying he has a problem with that normally (he absolutely does).]

Are you happy?

[kingside]

[Among other things, and that... sure is a question, isn't it. No sense in answering too honestly, but.]

I believe so.

[abnormalizes]

That's good. That's really all I needed to hear.

[kingside]

[Maybe a little surprising, but also... well.]

You might encounter him at the bakery. We were already living together before all of this.

[abnormalizes]

I'll say hi if we run into each other! I promise I'll be on my best behavior.

[kingside]

[He has Concerns, but.]

I appreciate it.

[abnormalizes]

What else are friends for?

[kingside]

Fair.

If you see him at the bakery, he'll likely be wearing a name tag, but if he isn't, he's the young Japanese man with brown hair and green eyes getting bitten by one of the cats.

[abnormalizes]

Ouch. You have so many cats, too.

[kingside]

The cat Pokémon don't bite him, at least. Well, Zuriel sort of nibbles? It doesn't look painful in the slightest, anyway.

[abnormalizes]

Oh, so you got some Pokemon too! They're super cute. I'd get one myself but my survival instincts from the City will not let me use an unmarked vending machine even if I'm 99% sure about what's going to come out of it.

[kingside]

[Wow does that sound like a nightmare he doesn't want to share. Time to breeze past it.]

They are quite cute, yes. We have a Sprigatito and a Litten.

[Please don't explain why vending machines are death dealing abominations where you're from. Please.]

[abnormalizes]

[Technically they can only canonically make you experience death and can't actually kill you! That we know of in canon.]

What are their names?

[kingside]

[why]

The Sprigatito is Zuriel, and the Litten is Malik.

[abnormalizes]

[capitalism hellscape]

I'll be sure to give them some extra love next time I come by the bakery.

lulu unfortunately doesn't know Pokémon pass the Harkness test but also they're babies so

[kingside]

[okay fair]

Malik unfortunately is unlikely to allow it, but Zuriel will. By all means.

she's very good at determining Baby at least

[abnormalizes]

Do they have any favorite treats I could bring them?

ye also what the fuck do pokemon eat uh /cheats

[kingside]

We're still determining that, so by all means bring a selection. They'll love you for it.

berries??? cupcakes.

[abnormalizes]

Ooh, experimenting to find the best response! It's like I'm back at work.

OH RIGHT i forgot about that minigame thing. oh no, now tempted to have bakery start offering them

[kingside]

Perhaps you can give us tips.

they should tho

[abnormalizes]

Happy to provide my expertise!
