♪ 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?

Comments

[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.
