2:30 ❖ Video ❖ Hope you enjoyed him being nice.
[ Peter is, to say the least, furious. There's the sound of running water and scrubbing furiously coming from his apartment onto the SFC. He'd begun to learn how to use it. When he reappears, he's wearing a checker-patterned long-sleeved shirt, and his tail is twitching with his back to the camera. He holds his hand up to the SFC--his gloves are

... Peter. I see you're back to normal.

[ This tone... it is dangerous. Luckily, you're off his hit list. ... For now. He's irritated... if that wasn't apparent. Still, that barely psychotic smile is a warning to everyone. Everyone. ]
Am I correct in assuming you know the cause of this... whatever it was?
Reply
Yeah, back to normal.
...
It's the coral.
[He doesn't want to get shot and just because... because they were nice to each other during personality switches does not mean that he's not going to be killed by this rabbit. So he just watches, a blank expression on his face.]

That coral... hmhm. I suppose it makes sense...
[ He sighs, crossing his arms, muttering something to himself after it occurs to him what happened, and why. ] I cannot believe that child pushed me into it...! I will not let my guard down so hastily again.

... Really now?
[He's still trying to gauge his reaction to their whole conversation from before, now that he was normal. Oh god, but the rabbit keeps smiling and it's just creeping him out more.]
Reply
Oh, yes. After all, if it's their deity, I'd suppose the most logical answer is that it cursed us. Don't you think?
[ Oh, no. You see, he's in a good mood. Really. Besides, you'll have to be more forward if you want to be able to tell how he really feels--it isn't very often he shows others his emotions, unless you're Alice, of course. ]

C-cursed us?! No way! I'm not cursed! I just... oh boy oh boy oh boy... I'm not cursed, am I?
[I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS, PETER.]

Oh, I'd say it's fair to assume that. Those glowing marks probably was because we both messed with that plant, one way or another. Or perhaps it's just poisonous.
[ He sighs in a rather tired, grumpy manner, regarding the broken gold chain unhappily. Almost... with remorse, actually. ] Though really, I wish that spike-headed blond idiot had stayed away from it. My poor watch... now I've got to make Julius fix it. God only knows what sort of favor that bloody mortician will make me do in exchange.
[ Grumblegrumble. It's clear he's not happy with this situation one bit. ]
Reply
Shit... shit! [He bring a hand down on the nearest hard surface by him, which is a cover of a book and he lets out an 'argh'.] I knew there was some sort of magic going on here!
[He frowns to himself before picking up on that Peter was talking, tuning in quickly.] Your watch? ... That gun you carry around is broken? [Surprised expression! He never would think Peter would be the one to get his gun broken either.]
Reply
[ He looks surprised, before his thoughts return to the broken gold chain and watch on the nearby table, and he scowls distastefully, huffing slightly. ] Yes, well... his other arm is actually a gun. I didn't expect it, so he managed to nearly break my hand, as well as a one of a kind pocket watch. Really, how am I supposed to keep time now?
[ Grumblegrumble a physical representation of time itself, an hour, unable to keep time what is this shit. ]
Reply
I'm a logical kind of guy, Peter. I'm a lawyer.
[A sigh and he runs a hand through his hair, watching the screen before... wait, back up.]
... There's a guy with a gun for an arm here?
[Yeah, he totally doesn't care about your watch anymore. GUN FOR ARM > GUN FOR WATCH.]
Reply
[ He doesn't seem too concerned about Vash, more... confused, really, as if he'd discovered some neat new thing, on one hand. On the other, his precious gun... ] Usually people just choose their favorite objects to be their weapons... or the other way around.
He seems to normally be a cheerful idiot, though, so I'm sure you'll both get along just swimmingly~
[ Whether that was sarcasm, a joke, or something in between, you may never know. ]
Reply
... [No comment at all on the whole weapon thing. He is too dumbfounded.]
... [Argh, Peter, you're making it hard to like you.] I think I'll stay away.
Reply
[ He makes it hard for anyone to like him. :| Thing is, that's perfectly fine, as far as he views it. Why does he need anyone to like him except Alice...? ]
Ah! I almost forgot. Where do you suppose one would find tools to fix a watch? I don't think Julius was expecting to be plucked from his Clock tower. It isn't like he leaves it ever, anyway.
Reply
...
The hardware store, maybe? Or a hobby shop or the market, even. I'm not sure where one is, but if you ask any of the villagers they can probably point you in a direction. This... Julius guy is going to fix your watch?
Reply
... Julius Monrey, yes. He's the keeper of the Clock tower; the Neutral ground. [ He absently waves a hand, as if disgusted by the thought. ] It's a messy job; I can't imagine anything bloodier than collecting the clocks of the presently dead just to fix and replace them.
Most don't like him. Neither do I, but for entirely different reasons. ... Though Gowland and the Knight of Hearts seem to be on good terms with him.
