[Yes, Picky does remember that drone-dad in the house. He didn't like him very much. But coming down the stairs for breakfast and seeing... seeing... that guy is a shocker.

What's going on? Is this how it works when drones get replaced by real people?]

...you're... you're going to break the phone, if you keep doing that!

[Looking over to Picky now, but he never stops grinning cross-eyed.]

Forsooth! Surely the baby bells would weep at such shoddy workmanship!

[He's still standing there with the receiver held high, though. Get a load of that lens flare.]

imjustpicky October 31 2011, 05:46:19 UTC

[The man is using words. He's talking English. But the words are kind of jittering around and refusing to play nice in his head.

He stares for a good ten seconds before speaking again.]

Uh. I'm Finch Twoson. I guess you're my dad, now...?

monk_of_keyfu October 31 2011, 05:48:56 UTC

How strange! I do not believe I have adopted a pair of birds!

imjustpicky October 31 2011, 05:55:19 UTC

Uh...

[Wait. Wait, this guy thinks in puns, doesn't he? Picky's eyes go wide at the realization.]

I'm just a kid! I'm not a bird! And.. besides. That's what Mayfield does. It takes people from all over, and, and puts them in houses and makes them be families.

monk_of_keyfu October 31 2011, 05:59:04 UTC

[Key-Fu's head snaps to the left.]

[A beat.]

[Then it snaps to the right.]

[Then he looks back at Picky.]

Then the butts of assumption tell me that this is the field of possibilities you speak of!

imjustpicky October 31 2011, 06:06:12 UTC

[Picky takes a few careful moments to tease the puns apart, creeping the rest of the way down the stairs.]

Yeah. Mayfield. That's what it's called. I don't know why...

What's your name?

[As he asks, he side-steps closer to the kitchen and peers in. Oh, there's the drone-mom, making breakfast. Guess this guy is the only new arrival.]

monk_of_keyfu October 31 2011, 06:09:09 UTC

[Key-Fu puts his fists to his hips in a heroic stance. The phone's base clatters on the ground slightly.]

I am the Monk of Key-Fu! Purveyor all that is pleasant, purging the unpleasantness from the planes of existence!

imjustpicky October 31 2011, 06:25:51 UTC

You're... you're a hero? [If that's the case, that's kinda cool. Picky is daring to grin.]

Can I call you Monk? Or is Key-Fu better?

monk_of_keyfu October 31 2011, 06:38:25 UTC

[Key-Fu nods!]

You may call me Key-Fu!

[Just wait till Picky goes outside and sees that the household name is now "The Monks."]

imjustpicky November 1 2011, 00:30:40 UTC

[At least this means his initials will be the same.]

Okay. Key-Fu. Alright.

[He'll... get used to it.]

I think "mom" is going to have breakfast ready soon. And I don't think it's oatmeal today! We should... go eat?

[Did hero monks even eat breakfast?]

monk_of_keyfu November 1 2011, 00:33:46 UTC

[Key-Fu thrusts out his hand in a "thumbs up" gesture.]

Indeed! Only through partaking in cow's boob liquid may one be prepared to punch the sun!

imjustpicky November 1 2011, 00:55:48 UTC

[Oh. Oh wow. That sounds really gross. And also...]

Wait! Wait, no! You're not supposed to drink the milk!

Or... or punch the sun. You're not supposed to do that, either....

monk_of_keyfu November 1 2011, 01:32:12 UTC

I'm afraid you lack adequate pennies! The creamy lactic goodness is most delectable !

imjustpicky November 1 2011, 03:14:17 UTC

No, I mean it! The milk here that gets delivered is bad! It's... poisoned, or something!

[He wasn't sure of the exact reasons why Key-Fu was insisting that milk was good... but he at least understood that was what was being conveyed. He had to argue against it!]

monk_of_keyfu November 1 2011, 03:20:57 UTC

[Key-Fu's expression doesn't change. But he freezes in the same way any ordinary person would stiffen in shock at hearing shockingly bad news.]

... It is improbable! The putrid pugilists of unpleasantness have poisoned such delightful dairy?!

[Key-Fu's body isn't capable of all his normal antics right now, but the way the sun is coming in through the living room windows, it makes for a damn good background for the following hot-blooded display.]

Unforgivable! For this I must seek out the fowl foes and offer them a free ticket to Spiffyland!

[A free hand is held before Key-Fu, clenched into a fist. With that tone in his voice he could easily be some kind of hot-blooded mecha pilot, if it weren't for the fact he's still grinning. And crosseyed.]
