21st Sphere: Father's Day

[child_abuser]

[Jecht spends most of Father's Day sitting around in front of his pool.  He knows it's some sort of father-themed holiday from talking to Saya before, and that interaction has put him in a pretty foul mood.  Still, though, he's free for anyone who feels like wandering by.]

"Tch... stupid Father's Day.  What a dumb damn idea for a holiday."

[Just going to be leaning against part of the fence on the side of the yard. It's best to approach this... Carefully, he decides. Someone looks a little tense, man.]

Something bothering you, Coach?

[child_abuser]

Damn kids.

[bornwithskison]

Drones, I take it.

[child_abuser]

Mostly.

[bornwithskison]

Have you tried telling them to leave you alone?

[child_abuser]

I just locked 'em in their rooms. Did the job just fine.

[bornwithskison]

Bolder than I am. I wouldn't have the heart. [It's said with a smile, and he starts picking at some of the chipping paint on the fence.]

At least we can take it easy.

[child_abuser]

You got kids?

Real ones, I mean.

[bornwithskison]

Four million, give or take a couple hundred... Maybe thousand. Well, my citizens anyways.

Biological... No. Only my little brother. I raised him from a toddler.

[child_abuser]

[Just... stares.]

...What?

[bornwithskison]

I'm a nation.

[child_abuser]

"...Not followin'."

[lol how has he missed this explanation]

[bornwithskison]

In my world, well... There's about two hundred nations, if I recall correctly. In most worlds, we don't exactly exist in human form. We're the er... Physical personification of them. I happen to be one. It's a little difficult to explain.

[child_abuser]

"Huh. You don't say."

[It's not entirely clear if Jecht fully absorbed that one or not. In either case, his next movement is a shrug, so it probably doesn't matter.]

"Well, whatever. Sounds like kind of a pain in the ass, really."

[bornwithskison]

Or nose. [Yeah, he still hasn't forgotten that.]

[child_abuser]

"Yeah, or that."

[BUT JECHT HAS!]
