Hey, all - I see there's some new faces. I'm Shiro, longtime resident here.

[He's seated on a sofa - well, seated is probably the wrong word. He's propped up by a lot of soft things, thanks to being a Warmblood this month.]

If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer - usually I'm on the Waker team, but ah, didn't get a chance this time around.

[Because of feeling like speaking, like moving, is too much effort.]

Anyway, I had a question. I'm pretty good in a fight, usually prefer hand-to-hand. [He is. Hilarious.] Weapons are a little more rusty, and this thing...

[He turns the omni to face a sword propped against the couch.] ... showed up at our house yesterday. And I could use a few pointers in swinging it.

Let's just say 'biology' and leave it at that.

You know there's this amazing place where you can go and they just give you a baby.

And anyway all I was saying was technically you're old enough.

But it doesn't matter because you were voted Trench's Dad, as young as you are. Congratulations! No biology required.

[shiro2hero]

Shockingly, I know. I work at one of those places here.

But
back home, I barely had the free time for a relationship, let alone kids. [Among so many other things. So... so many.]

[And Keith doesn't count.]

You know that means I'm your dad too, yeah?

[dialscientist]

[Keith absolutely counts]

Is that what you want?

[shiro2hero]

Wouldn't have brought it up otherwise.

[dialscientist]

[Huh. That's such a huge offer. Honestly, Min-Gi isn't sure how to answer that. Give him a moment. There are a lot of layers to this.

Or maybe he's overthinking. Let it go, Min. Accept this for what it is.]

Alright then. I accept.

Dad.

[shiro2hero]

I expect a better dad-day gift than a tie. They make me look like a dweeb.



That's also a joke :)

[dialscientist]

I'm not sure you can blame that on the tie.

;))

[shiro2hero]

I'm not that bad.

I have a leather jacket and everything :(

[dialscientist]

Oh well why didn't you say so. That obviously cancels out any and all dweebishness. Just ask Ryan.

[chickenchoicejudy]

only while you're wearing the leather jacket. it's like a cool version of clark kent glasses 🕶

[dialscientist]

That explains so much about you~

[shiro2hero]

Yes, yes it does.



Adam says it does.

[dialscientist]

I'm not sure 'my husband says it's cool' counts the way you wanted it to.

[shiro2hero]

It's true though!

[dialscientist]

Okay, I believe you.

Do you have a motorcycle?

[shiro2hero]

I have a hover bike.

[dialscientist]

[…]

Yeah okay that is gnarly

[shiro2hero]

'gnarly'?

[dialscientist]

[what does he mean, who doesn’t know what gnarly means??]

Seriously?

[shiro2hero]

Yeah, seriously.

[dialscientist]

Well

Ok

It can be either really cool or really intense/hard/gross/difficult, but I mean it in the cool way.

[shiro2hero]

Oh!

Hey, you learn something new every day.

[dialscientist]

Every day is a school day.

Can I see your hover bike?

[shiro2hero]

Sure thing!

You know where we live
