[abnormalizes]

Probably! I caught myself before starting to ramble, go me, social skills success.

[wroughtandtempered]

You usually do pretty okay.

[abnormalizes]

Thank you! That's good to hear, it's definitely something I think about consciously. People who are just good at social skills without ever thinking about it are like, magic.

[wroughtandtempered]

No fucking kidding. ...I worry about that shit a lot, so.

[abnormalizes]

Well, at least we can sort of relax around each other since we're both not great at this?

[wroughtandtempered]

A no judging zone, yeah.

[abnormalizes]

Works for me.

[scritch scritch scritch]

-Oh, I met your parents? Representations of your parents?

[wroughtandtempered]

Wh— shit, really?

[ blearily considers that ]

Donnie did have his siblings in his head... I guess my parents aren't that weird. ...What'd you think?

[abnormalizes]

Your mom seemed nice! She was very sweet about me falling over myself to try to be polite after belatedly realizing who she was. And your dad was cool? If I hadn't been busy helping I would've loved to talk nerd things with her.

[wroughtandtempered]

... sounds about right.

[ a little wistful. she... definitely feels some way, thinking about them still being enough of a part of her to do things like that. ]

Choco-chan's getting us a shitton of memory share items sometime? If you ever want to see either of them going full nerd, I wouldn't mind using a few for that.

[abnormalizes]

I'd love to sometime. -I could probably show you a memory or two of my parents in exchange, if you wanted.

[wroughtandtempered]

[ hello it's Puppy Dog Eyes Time ]

—if you wouldn't mind? I...

...I know they worked their asses off for you. So it'd be kind of... an honor? ...shit that's kind of sappy, sorry.

[abnormalizes]

Nothing wrong with sappy. I'll pick out one of my favorite bedtime stories from Mom, probably.

[wroughtandtempered]

Cute. ...I'll give you one of the times dad and I had to try to drag mom away from work. For them. And maybe one of my learning sessions with dad.

[abnormalizes]

For Dad I've got... Oh! The time he made me a princess dress for my birthday.

-I also got to see you as a kid in there, and you were adorable, so it seems fair to show you what I looked like when I was little, too.

[wroughtandtempered]

[ wags once— ]

...as a— oh, fuck. Yeah, I'll take that trade? My poor fucking dignity.

[abnormalizes]

Betrayed by your own metaphorical representation of yourself.

[wroughtandtempered]

—oh, I thought it was like. A memory or some shit.

[ though she did get the one of her making dumbass decisions, 14 wasn't that young. ]

That's still kind of embarrassing, but. Probably better?

[abnormalizes]

I got a memory of you as a teenager, but no, little Eve about this big. [She briefly pauses scritching to gesture.]

[wroughtandtempered]

Teenager's fine. I was still a dumbass, but as a kid I was especially dumbass.

[ she was a kid, that comes with the territory.

...squinting at the measurement... ]

Holy fuck, that's like... 5? Maybe? Actual puppy me. Why.

[abnormalizes]

Itty bitty! I wished I had a camera. -Well, and a way to take any photographs into reality.

[wroughtandtempered]

[ opens her mouth

shuts it. ...does she want baby pictures of her to exist...

after another moment she offers: ]

With a memory camera, maybe...?

[abnormalizes]

Oh! -I mean, if it's an actual possibility, then I'd have to ask your permission?

[wroughtandtempered]

If it makes you happy, it's fine, as long as you don't show it to... shit. I guess anyone that wasn't in the heart game? ...Fuck, I'm gonna have to figure out who the fuck was in there.

[abnormalizes]

Send me a list sometime, yeah. I'm sure Korone would love to have a picture and I'd be really surprised if she wasn't pulled in.
