ϟ I do that too. when you have a nap under a tree and your eyes don't wake up right away so you can't tell if you're here or in a forest home. ϟ
"Mm, but I did not even know I could nap like that." The dog(?) is talking to them.
"Does that mean I am like you? Like a dog?"
It was strange, being on the other side of the door now, having returned here. Returned, that was what they did. They had slept, and awoken, and now they were here.
They wondered, vaguely, if Agape would threaten them as they had threatened him?
Still, they walked into Source_Code, pushing the door open.
"Agape?"
"I am trespassing, but I believe I have clearance."
@love-shutdown
"Oh, this place again. Was I...asleep?"
When he chose his guardian, he didn't think too much into it. Didn't think that he'd also gain some of the physical attributes of his chosen Guardian.
"What the actual fuck," he whispers under his breath. Okay, so he's warmer, but at the cost of gaining fur...and a tail. If Celine saw him, she won't live it down. "Shit."
They were bundled up in the coat given to them, but their cheeks were red and nose raw. Tilting their head, they looked at the tail. "Do you know Dar'khol? He's also retained cat-like features." And this was his coat. But they were cold, and they could feel the shiver run through their body, and their gloved hands burned against the metal of their mace.
"If you're confused about your ears or tail, he can help. But, why are you confused?"
Honestly he didn't mean to completely vanish on the poor guy. After piecing together how long he had kinda blipped out - Agape was quick to realize Goyou would either be mad or upset at him. Maybe both? Who knew - emotions were tricky and Goyou could be even trickier to read than most people on top of that.
But...he had come prepared! It was a common courtesy amongst humans to bring a "peace offering" in these sorts of situations. Flowers seemed like the most common thing, and Goyou had liked all the flower JPEGS they stumbled across back in the PC, so it was easy just to grab a random bouquet from the store and call it good enough. They'd probably be happy with anything, anyways. Which...was always nice to see.
He opens the door with a grin on his face, lifting an arm up in greeting.
"Goyou-kun! Guess who's--"
His voice cuts off into a shrill shriek as the Virus Buster's mace narrowly misses him and collides with the floor next to him. God, he wasn't sure he'd ever get used to actually being afraid of that big meat hammer now, given this was his actual core body he was walking around with.
"Hah...ha...I know you're mad, but Agape pancakes are off the menu permanently!"
"You are a trespasser, and I am programmed to destroy trespassing viruses." They didn't quite understand the emotion they were feeling, and while normally they swung the mace because they were meant to, but this time they swung the mace and missed on purpose.
So was it because they were meant to?
The chocolates weren't here to tell them, and instead all they had was whatever warmth was welling up behind their eyes.
Their eyes? Yes, their eyes. Certainly...Their eyes.
"You...are trespassing." They pause, hand gripping their mace tightly. The warmth welling up behind their eyes was spreading to their cheeks. It was having an odd effect, spreading across their face and making their central system feel tight. Like it didn't fit.
"You..."
The warmth spilled out of their too-human eyes, and down their too-human cheeks. Ah, what was this?
"Are trespassing."
"Love is...Chocolates?" They point to all of the bright red and pink hearts and specialty chocolate.
"Please explain."
they have taken over my mind and soul>3
Goyou had been sitting on those feelings for a while, the ones the chocolates had made them feel. That emptiness, that...Nothing? No, there was something, but it wasn't nothing. But it felt a little like nothing, leaving the virus buster walking around Source_Code aimlessly.
At least, until the door opened one day.
Mace in hand, they went to destroy whatever intruder had come into the home. It was raised above their head, about to be swung down.
"Trespassers will be destroyed-"
"..."
It was Agape.
They swung the mace down with even more might, hitting the floor near Agape.
@love-shutdown
"Agape?" They called, walking down the halls of their shared home. Everything was dark, and they could feel dread mix with the lingering taste of chocolate on their tongue. They had been out exploring the island in the early morning, where the air was crisp with ice and the plants crunched underfoot.
A hand trailed along the wall as they walked, calling again:
"Agape?"
Pulling out one of their gifted chocolates, they popped it in their mouth, chewing thoughtfully. Agape must be out. They would simply call him. They wanted to talk to him. The scent of chocolate wafted across their nostrils as they pulled out their phone.
But...
Agape's number wasn't in the phone.
"...I don't understand." They murmured. Troubleshooting was important. The virus buster shut down the phone and turned it back on. The result remained the same. And continued to remain the same. Troubleshooting went beyond troubleshooting and they couldn't explain why.
They knew better than that. And yet the chocolate taste on the tip of their tongue almost compelled them to keep checking. The sun set and the house in the Echo went dark.
"Huh?" Their phone screen had liquid on it. They wiped it off, but another droplet replaced it. And then another. The source, it seemed, was from their eyes. "...You didn't teach me this." They murmured, a hand going to their cheek.
"I don't have a word for this feeling. You didn't teach me it. If I had a word, I could maybe understand." But there was no response. Only a faint sweet scent of chocolate.
funny. when this holiday first bloomed he was excited for it; ready to partake and enjoy it for what he believed it to be. a more heart-warming situation to be celebrated with the masses, but that all seemed to sink away. he had purchased goods from stalls, forced himself to try chocolates and drinks to find some sort of spark in all of it.
he found himself in the middle of still trying, a candy held between his fingers, suspended halfway between the box it once lay in and a mouth questioning its consumption. with a sigh, he let it drop back into place in the box. retrieving the cover he closed it back up.
"here," he eventually murmured, eyes picking out a familiar face. extending an arm he offered the box of sweets he no longer cared to try, "don't really feel like lettin' the dust go to waste." // @virusbuster
The cat man who had given them his coat. They were wearing the coat now, and now the man was giving him chocolate. They look at the box of sweets, and then back up at the man.
They wondered if he remembered them. He must, if he was giving them a gift. Right?
But...
Had they introduced themselves. "I'm Goyou." They said as a greeting, hoping to get a name of the person who had made sure they were warm.
"You have...Already given me quite a few things. So I think we should share." They point at the box, and then at the man. "I believe that would mean we are 'friends'."
SHTDN Week 2023 Day 4: Lantern! I'm really having fun experimenting this week
fuyu wasn’t someone who got involved often with random people on the street. if he could go the rest of his life without speaking to anyone ever again, he would! but he can’t help but notice this guy staring into this store window for who knows how long now. it wasn’t like it was a neat store - it was a plain old electronics store but.. ugh. curiosity and all that.
so, he steps in next to the other and peeks into the window.
“ …what are you looking at? ” // @virusbuster
"The computers." They point at the display. The laptops are quite old for the age they're in, although Goyou isn't entirely aware of it.
"The sign says 'used'. The computer I am from is 'used', so I was wondering if it was transported here, too." They turn and observe the blue haired man. He has an interesting appearance, although no horns or cat ears.
"Candy? Sweet-tasting and often sweet-smelling confectionaries. Is there something that makes this one special?" And could they eat it?
relief rolled out with a small breath, one made visible by the chilly night air. to hear the cold was subsiding was good to hear, and although he didn't know the name of who they referenced it was clear to tell it was a welcomed experience. a smile slowly worked its way across his lips hearing that.
"good, good. that means you're warmin' up."
"the temperature goes along with the seasons, and 'tis the season of shivers and roarin' fires to combat 'em. heavily advise dressin' warm when ya head out from now on." slowly his arms crossed over his chest, palms rubbing at his arms. "well, least 'til spring rolls around."
"'Warmin' up'..." They look at the puff of smoke coming out of the other, before blowing air out of their own mouth. It was visible.
Wonder danced in the virus buster's eyes at it. They stopped considering it once more, before smiling.
"There was never anything like this on the computer, and the island's always been warm. Our home is warm, too." But now that the coat was on Goyou, they tilted their head, looking at the other.
"But if I've taken your coat, aren't you cold?"
"tingles is certainly a way to put it. you'll freeze your arse off standin' out here without somethin' heavier on!" the cold is something he can't bear, but he's getting the idea he's more used to it then they were. "here," off comes the coat found in his room and over the others shoulders it goes. "how do ya feel, now?"
"Hm?" They look at the other, tilting their head. Ears atop the head instead of on the side...? But they have hardly any time to contemplate the strange man before a coat is draped over them.
"Hm..."
"...The tingles are subsiding." Is the first thing they notice. And the inside of the coat feels like Agape's hands when he held them. "...It's warm. Like holding Agape's hands, but on the rest of my form."
"It is pleasant. And interesting, since I am in the same environment as before."
"How strange...My skin tingles when I stay outside too long." They are outside after sunset without a coat. Please assist.
❄ "Happy Halloween! When you give me candy make sure you give me double! Because I'm the cutest after all!" She'd gone to all of this effort to dress up as Little Pink Riding Hood! She deserved that candy!
"Halloween...is a time of year when you receive candy for being cute? And you're the cutest?" They are clearly both confused and earnest. "What qualifies you to be the cutest?"
