♪ Second Song: Juggling School + Home life

[thepurpleway]

[Option A: MAYFIELD HIGH]

[Gakupo, dressed in an ensemble courtesy of Rarity, seems to be a high school music teacher, and what better way to introduce...or...reintroduce himself than with a song.

He wastes no time in trying to find any electric guitar (which is rather hard, he finds something) and setting it up in his classroom. He even came early to do so. Gakupo busts out this melody, rockin' to the beat and not caring how odd he looks.]

[Option B: 1331 BENNY STREET]

[He looks weary, as he walks back home.]

How do humans get through the day on one charge? Is it the food they eat?

[Option C: PHONE]

Are eggplants in season here?

1331 Benny

[splashpuppy]

[Oh. It's the one in the pictures.]

Are you okay?

[thepurpleway]

[Oh, hey, that boy looks familiar...]

I'm just totally drained! I must be in the red zone by now...

[splashpuppy]

The red zone?

[Hajime is... a bit confused]

[thepurpleway]

Ah...it's...a way to describe a depleted battery...

[Even though Gakupo is human, he still can't help but think in such terms.]

You look familiar...are you the paper boy?

[splashpuppy]

I'm supposed to live here. Are you the new person they say is my dad?

[thepurpleway]

...oh...I see now...

[Scratches the back of his neck.]

I guess I am. I'm Gakupo.

[splashpuppy]

I'm Hajime! It's nice to actually meet you.

[thepurpleway]

Likewise! [Smiles brightly] How old are you? You look quite young...

[splashpuppy]

I'll be nine next month!

[He makes it sound so much older than it really is]

[thepurpleway]

You're really getting up there! [Manufacturing wise, Hajime is older than Gakupo!] Soon you'll be old enough to drive a car!

[Isn't that what nine year olds do?]

You're going to have a party, right?

[splashpuppy]

[He looks a bit sad at that]

I... don't know. Himeno gave me one last year, but she's not here anymore.

[thepurpleway]

Is that so... [The mirth from before deflates a bit, but Gakupo's smile is still there. Softer, but there.] You can't have a birthday without a party. It would be too cruel! Let's throw one!

[splashpuppy]

Ms. Ukraine might help. I stay at her house a lot.

[thepurpleway]

[Blinks in confusion.] Who's that? Why do you stay there?

[splashpuppy]

She's super nice. This house has been filled with nothing but drones twice since I've been here and she let me stay at her house so I could get away with them. Drones are creepy.

[thepurpleway]

Ah, well, I'm glad you're in good company! I'd like to meet Miss Ukraine one day and thank her.

[Pauses]

Does this mean you don't want a party?

[splashpuppy]

No, no, parties are good, I like parties!

[thepurpleway]

Good, good! I'll let you pick a theme and a guest list, and we'll just go from there!

[splashpuppy]

There aren't a lot of regular kids at my school, but the ones there are are pretty great.

[thepurpleway]

Then it should be easy to get something whipped up for them!

[Gakupo likes celebrations. It means fun and music!]

[splashpuppy]

No drones allowed. They're creepy.

[thepurpleway]

Ah ha...ha...yes, let's make sure of that.

[splashpuppy]

We probably don't have to worry about them thinking they're invited now that there's no drone lady here.

[thepurpleway]

They would come if there was a drone lady?!

Wait..

Drone lady?

[splashpuppy]

Before Miss Ashlin got here there was a drone lady who kept insisting she was my mommy. And before her was Miss Bazzett and before her another drone lady and when I got here it was Ms Yuuka.

[thepurpleway]

...so...who is Miss Ashlin?

[splashpuppy]

She's the other regular person that's s'posed to live in this house, guess you haven't met her yet. She seems nice.

[thepurpleway]

Oh. I hope to meet her soon, then.

[splashpuppy]

Everyone's gotta come back sometimes.

Mayfield High

[roadroller]

Eeeh, Gakupo's the teacher? ♪

[make her call you sensei, I dare you~]

Mayfield High

[thepurpleway]

[He pauses to address Rin.]

That's Mister Kamui while we're in class, Miss Kagamine.

[roadroller]

Are you serious? ♪

[thepurpleway]

Quite.

[roadroller]

But I know you! That's not even fair. Why are you taking it seriously? ♪

[thepurpleway]

Because I'm getting paid. Now, would you please desist from disrupting the class, Miss Kagamine? [First day back and she's already busting his balls!]

[roadroller]

[sigh!]

Sure, fine. Sellout. ♪

[thepurpleway]

I usually wouldn't, but it seems that I have a family to feed.

[roadroller]

You don't have to do it so properly though. ...We should just spend the whole class singing and stuff! ♪

[thepurpleway]

I was getting to that! Wasting all this time arguing over how to address each other.

Pick a song and we'll sing it, pending the class knows it as well. [Or if they don't, then it suck to be them.]

[roadroller]

Okay, then....... how about Dreaming Little Bird? Everyone knows that song! Right? ♪

[thepurpleway]

I...guess, but we can always teach it to them. How about you bring your chair up to the front?
