It's a penguin.

[His voice is clear over the network, and he sounds a little frustrated.]

This thing... climbed on my shoulder and won't leave.

[simulatedsummer]

A.... penguin? [ There might be a what face lingering in his tone. Seriously. He should be used to weird things. But first crying bulls- not to be confused with bowls, of course -and now this? ]

[the_daybreak]

... Yeah, it won't leave me alone.

[simulatedsummer]

It's not... doing anything at least, is it? [ Like- he doesn't know. Uh... Penguin things? ]

[the_daybreak]

No. It just... hangs around. Sometimes it switches shoulders.

[simulatedsummer]

That's... weird. [ But it could be worse, right? Like, uh. Crying bulls. ]

It doesn't disappear or anything? [ He's asking if you can touch it, bro. ]

[the_daybreak]

No, it's pretty much tangible. Doesn't want to leave me alone, and it keeps making noises and protesting when I try to get it to leave.

[simulatedsummer]

Hm... [ There's a good, long pause here. ]

Do you think it has anything to do with the bulls that Paige was seeing?

[the_daybreak]

... I wouldn't be surprised if it was to do with that, honestly.

I wonder what's happening.

[simulatedsummer]

I dunno... [ He wasn't sure if he wanted to find out either, for that matter. All this was just weird... Gonna hope it didn't get any weirder. ]

I might look more at those things on the laptop. Maybe it'll give us a clue? [ Kinda working way in the dark here, but it's a start. ]

[the_daybreak]

Yeah. Tell me if you find anything out, okay?

[He pauses a moment -- and then the smile in his voice is audible.]

You can come and play with the penguin, if you want.

[simulatedsummer]

Yeah, I'll let you know. [ Tobias was about to cut things off from there. But then that last offhand comment from Oberon...

. . . ]

...Are you being serious? [ He caught the smile, alright. And Oberon might be catching the lineface coming from him. The Sora in him totally wants to though. ]

[the_daybreak]

... Of course I am. Since when have I not been serious, Tobias?

[simulatedsummer]

[ ...Oh. Well, uh. This is awkward. ]

...Well, I don't think I've seen one of them before. [ Just after dealing with bulls, ah-ha~ He hopes penguins are a little less on the cling-on side. ]

[the_daybreak]

[What he just said is bullshit -- he's not really sure why Tobias bought it, but then, he supposes that's the Gemini in him.]

A penguin? I haven't either, not in real life.

[It's not even a real penguin. It's more like this.]

[simulatedsummer]

[ Tobias has his Gemini moments. Or does he. ]

...You seriously want to play with it. [ What is he, twelve? But then if it were a cat, Tobias might secretly be all over that. ]

[the_daybreak]

Maybe I do. Come and see it, Tobias.

[There's a little grin on his face, and it's totally audible.]
