HAPPY 11TH BIRTHDAY PAUL!

Its already astouding to me that Paul has been around for 10 years and I dont post here often or talk about him alot as much anymore but I will reiterate he's never left me. Ten was already a special year for making it a decade and past the canon age Dexter is estimated to be in the show. This year somehow topped it. Sometime back @builtperil had contacted me again and we've been talking over the past few years. This year they ever so kindly reconnected me with people I hadn't seen in years. People that were equally glad to see Paul again. Upon talking to them after so long, despite that time being a bit rough, I was overwhelmed with posiitive emotions and memories. Small moments came back to my mind and how much fun writing Paul had been years ago.

Its not summer yet, but there's never a wrong time for a camp reunion. I want to say a massive thank you to @builtperil to reintroducing me to @hcllraiscrs and @voxluntas, I greatly appreciate finding old friends again and even if things have changed over time, what didn't change was your enjoyable company.

Happy 11th birthday Paul, this year it will be with old friends back at camp. A really run down questionable camp with one man holding it together by his passion for nature and making sure a group of wayward kids enjoy their summer vacation.

"Oi, Dextah. This really isn't something you should be doing. You're still growing and you know from the critiera for healthy growing you need at least 8 hours of sleep. It is in current scientific reading, I believe last month's magazine involving a sleep study."

"Do promise me you'll take a nap at least."

[xen1o]

►    —     ❛     how could i possibly rest when i am on a roll ? if i took a break i would've lost all that inspiration & drive ! i don't take breaks on projects like 'dat !    ❜     cue a very big yawn.    

►    —     ❛     ...    if you can keep Dee Dee occupied & away from me i will consider laying down for a bit.    ❜    

[paul-ite]

"Mhm, I do understand this. However you do have to learn to take a break now and again. This is why we have tea time, decaf of course. Caffeine is not allowed to us for good reason."

Paul pats him on the back. "I'll see what I can do. It's rather simple to keep her out of the way if you let her put on a Darbie play for a few hours. I do need to catch up anyways. Last time was quite a cliffhanger."

[xen1o]

    guess who stayed up way too late in the lab again ?               this guy ! guess who's all grumpy because he's tired & he's making it everyone's problem ?               this guy !

_ there is the slight twitch of his brow , indicating obvious annoyance. he wanted an apple. instead he got a paul. ►    —     ❛    thanks    for    'de    update.     ❜ _ he sighs , setting down tools.               no use in continuing projects now if dinner is going to interrupt him.    

[paul-ite]

"Might I ask what you're doing? I didn't think I'd be zapped away so quickly after your mum offered a healthy snack when I walked in the door."

He takes a seat casually as if he were at home, "It does save me the time to try and get past the lock though. I've lost a bit of identifying accent for it to trigger properly." Paul didnt seem bothered by this though as he continued to chew through the apple.

[xtragalactiic]

►    —     ❛     . . .     you    are    definitely     not    an    apple.    ❜     poof    ! someone has been teleported into his laboratory. originally , the goal was to teleport an apple from downstairs because he wanted a snack. looks like something backfired. big time.                             this is awkward.    

[paul-ite]

Paul stood there, eating said apple. "You do know you can walk downstairs, don't you?"

He stepped out of the machine casually and looked around. "Mother's making a wonderful roast by the way. It should be done...within the hour, give or take five minutes."

[paul-ite]

"If I dont do this, maybe I could explode. I could become unstable, my molecules and DNA unravelling. And then what, you witness that right in front of you? Someone who looks similar to someone else you know? Do you really want that?" He was suddenly serious, which was rare to hear a deeper tone from someone so chipper. Paul looked up at Mandark with a somewhat pleading look, "So. Try to destroy the world lately or something? Say, did you ever get that other ray gun working? I remember hearing you'd need to tweak the ion flow for it to steadily shoot properly without sputtering out immediately."

[xtragalactiic]

his expression drops , hands instinctively clutching his tie in discomfort. he genuinely looks disturbed.              then he swallows , & shakes his head . . .     momentarily he is completely lost for words.               he's still reeling over what was said before that he can't keep up with everything else.     

◇    —     ❛     i    uh    . . .     no    ,    i    haven't    got    the    ray    gun    working    yet.    but    it's    . . .     on    my    list.    ❜    

[paul-ite]

The small boy picked up quickly he had disturbed the taller one. Admittedly it was a little funny, nobody usually expected something so dark from someone with his appearance. No doubt Mandark had at least one wrong assumption about a clone insistant on bothering him. "I surely hope that isn't a long list. But inventors are often quite busy. And I imagine you have other responsibilities as well." As dark as his humor was for a moment, it was only fair to not leave him that traumatized. "Hey. I'm not going to do anything but continue to stand here. There's never been an instability issue. It's not an excuse though. I do think there's still a bit in my DNA this feels natural to encounter and...not crave. But simply just needing to do something or your whole day is off."

[paul-ite]

Paul slightly budges and keeps to the same spot as best as he could. "I never said it made sense. And I dont know how long it lasts. Sometimes...I just have to. Like hanging out but to bother you."

He was rambling. Rambling that was familiar and a bit squeaky in tone.

[xtragalactiic]

◇    —     ❛     that's    a    pretty    stupid    excuse.    ❜ . . .             he nearly calls the redhead dexter , but stops himself. that's not dexter.     but it's close.                                                         annoyingly so.     ◇    —     ❛     ──     go    away.    i'm    not    in    the    mood.    ❜    

[paul-ite]

[paul-ite]

"Deep down inside something insists I stand this close to you. I dont know why. This feels normal."

[xtragalactiic]

◇    —     ❛     Yeah    ,    well. It's     weird.     ❜ He's    using    his    foot    to    push    Paul    away    a    little.    

[paul-ite]

[xtragalactiic]

◇    —     ❛     Hey    ──    ! Ever    hear    of    personal    space    ?    ❜    

[paul-ite]

"Deep down inside something insists I stand this close to you. I dont know why. This feels normal."

[paul-ite]

"Dextah, kindly tell me WHY you think thats appropriate to just do." He knew the fact. He knew it was disgusting, but it was hardly the time to say it.

[xtragalactiic]

►    —     ❛     What    ?    It    was    a    cool    fact    ,    don't    you    think    ?    ❜     Clearly    he    fails    to    see    what's    wrong    here.    

[paul-ite]

He stares at Dexter blankly as hes trying to eat a sandwich. Paul gestures as much, pushing it forward to show that factoid did not go with eating time talk.

[xtragalactiic]

tells    you    the    most    disgusting    vile    science    fact &    smiles    at    you    like    this.    

[paul-ite]

"Dextah, kindly tell me WHY you think thats appropriate to just do." He knew the fact. He knew it was disgusting, but it was hardly the time to say it.

A shocked gasp, "It's not propoganda! It's simply another perspective! Mother did always say to try something to know you like it. Now with tuna though, it is best you make it into a salad with mayonaise and the like. But I suppose in a pinch tuna itself isn't so bad between bread or on crackers. It might be a bit bland though."

[xtragalactiic]

►    —     ❛    'Dats    just    it    ,    Paul    !    ! I    have    tried    it    ! ──   &    it    is    still    icky    !     ❜    

►    —     ❛     'Dere    is    no    way    ,    no    how    I    am    trying    again.     You    can    keep    your    fishies.    ❜    

[paul-ite]

"Surely, there is some way you'd enjoy it. There is cooked salmon as well. It makes a fancy looking dinner without costing too much. At least I think it does. There's also grilled salmon and both are quite nice with lemon added. You don't need particularly much to make it taste lovely."

He sighed.

"But I suppose, our palates are quite different and changed as we are two seperate people. And I know you're quite resistant to change or different foods. Perhaps shredded and canned simply isnt the flavor and texture you're comfortable with." He gave a sympathetic pat on the back.

[xtragalactiic]

@paul-ite entered the lab !      ➤ "Now now Dextah, tuna is a wonderful thing especially on crackers! Though it is more appropriate as a lunch snack I suppose than something to have with your tea. Or it might be lovely on a picnic! Yes, a picnic might be the best place for it I think." -Paul    

►    —     ❛     I    will    not    be    falling    for    your     tuna    propaganda.     ❜
