[Those inside 508 Ricardo Street will hear snippets of an argument between Frances and her newly-droned not-dad.] --no, I didn't get ya a present, what do ya think, you're not my real dad, idiot-- What! Grounded! Ya can't-- I'm not walkin' up these stairs 'cause ya told me to, stupid, I'm doin' it 'cause I wanna!

[Someone is lurking in your doorway. Head cocked and pulling at the collar of the pajamas he's probably still wearing.]

...That's not a very good idea, is it?

[tsunbowmonkey86]

[She looks back at him and shrugs.] Nah, I've jumped from windows a bajillion times higher than this tons of times. Didn't even have any rope then. I'm sure I'd be fine-- I just don't feel like breakin' my neck today.

[trappedpride]

R-really? Why would you do something like that....?

[He's the same quiet Selim, polite, respectful and entirely optimistic...]

[But for a second, can you feel it? The blood-curtling sense of bloodlust as he smirks and for the briefest moment his eyes turned purple in the natural way.]

[As he let his true nature show.]

[Just for that second, however. And then he tilted his head further.]

I can't let you leave today though.

[tsunbowmonkey86]

[She didn't notice the eyes, but she certainly felt as if someone had just walked over her grave. She shakes it off and glares at him slightly.]

Really? What makes ya think ya can do that?

[numbuhthree]

What's the matter Numbuh 86?

[tsunbowmonkey86]

The stupid drone grounded me! I've got important business that needs takin' care of-- I can't waste time bein' grounded!

[toughestknd]

And why do you need that?

[tsunbowmonkey86]

'Cause I've been grounded, stupid! I can't just walk out the front door!

[toughestknd]

You coulda tried the backdoor! Duh!

[tsunbowmonkey86]

The stupid drone would see me, moron, and I'd get sent right back to my room! Jeez, haven't ya ever snuck out before?

[lifeofavarice]

What's a kid like you want with a bunch of rope?

[tsunbowmonkey86]

Art project.

I'm sneakin' outta my house, stupid! What does it sound like I'm doin'?!

[lifeofavarice]

Do you really want me to answer that, kid?

What's in it for me?

[tsunbowmonkey86]

No, I probably don't.

Dunno... I'll put ya on my "Will Not Shoot In The Face The Second I Get My Weapons Back" list or somethin'. It's a very exclusive list.

[muertederojo]

Number 86. How rude! To be so mean towards your father on Father's Day...

[tsunbowmonkey86]

What? He's not my real dad. He can't tell me what to do!

[muertederojo]

He's only looking out for you, and raising you the right way while you're here! Leona, my 'daughter', on the other hand, is very well behaved.

[tsunbowmonkey86]

He's a jerk, that's what he is. I liked it better when he was a real person and didn't bother me all the time!
