[ The first thing you will notice is a finger on your screen. 'Sup, Somarium? The finger pushes away, showing a very confused Hideki. He knows how to work laptops, okay? Cellphones like this are, like, extinct. ]

This thing is supposed to be a cellphone? Even Sumomo tells you when she's not working!

[ Shaking the DreamBerry. ]

...What the Hell!

[... A quirked eye at caller ID but the actual post makes him laugh.]

Nice priorities.

[tastysidedish]

[ PEOPLE CAN HEAR HIM WHAT? He jumps back a bit. ]

Y-You heard that!? No, no! I was just-- Wondering for a buddy of mine. That's all!

[carnivalcat]

[Some snickering on this end. This could be fun.]

Yeah? You already made yourself a buddy here when you can't figure out the Dreamberry? Must be quite the people person.

[tastysidedish]

[ Turning redder by the second! This sucks. ]

Yeah! I mean-- not really! Um! I don't watch stuff like that, of course!

[carnivalcat]

[A scoff that's accentuated by a flick of his tail in the background.]

And I'm not a cat. Yeah, I believe you.

[tastysidedish]

[ Is that...? No way. ]

That's a relief! I thought you were going to think I'm some kind of pervert!

[carnivalcat]

Sarcasm falls on deaf ears. Or maybe you're in denial.

[THOSE CAT EARS JUST TWITCHED, YEAH. This dramatic reveal is always his favorite.]

[tastysidedish]

Wait a sec...

Y-You're a cat! Seriously? How is that even possible!?

[carnivalcat]

... well tell me this. Where you come from, are there robot girls running around?

I didn't think that was possible.

[tastysidedish]

You mean persocoms? Well that's normal, isn't it? It's not that strange to live with them nowadays...

[carnivalcat]

Wroooooong.

It's not strange to you. It's strange to me. You're not normal, I am. I'm not normal, you are.

[... he has to bring this up. He HAS to. Responsibility sucks.]

... and Chii is both normal and not.

The name ring a bell?

[tastysidedish]

Chii!? How do you know about Chii?

[carnivalcat]

[... truth and morals vs. amusement and lulz. Always the hardest decision.]

You first.

[He'll buy some time for now.]

[tastysidedish]

I found her! She's my persocom so tell me how you know her! Is she here? Don't tell me you're after her, too? I know she's just a machine but to me...

[carnivalcat]

[... LAUGHTER. LOTS OF IT.]

Oh yeah. I'm after her, alright. But probably not in the way that you're thinking. ... though technically, the chase is all over and done now because she's mine.

And I'm not into sharing. Sorry~

[tastysidedish]

What the Hell!? You have her, don't you? You fucker! Give her back!
