VIDEO | trion's temple

[This isn't the roof of the Police Station -- in fact, this is a pretty nice room. Where did he get that?]

[Despite how nice it looks in there, Kagerou is looking at something off-screen.]

[And appears decidedly unsettled.]

I... don't know if I like this thing. How do I--? How do I make it... leave?

[By way of explanation, he turns the Link around, to show more of the upgraded quarters...]

[... and an Acolyte. Standing in a corner. Or, at least, it looks like one. It's sort of hard to tell, what with the tarp it has thrown over its head.]

[Kagerou how did you get one of those in your room.]

[What's going on here.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Omg Kagerou you brought her home a pet you're like the best dad ever for srs. She's hopping around the new room, among the stacks of things that they had to transfer over to Trion's--the move was easier than you'd expect. Kay didn't mind going back all that much--but by far she's going ga-ga over the Acolyte.]

It's cute! Can we keep him? C'mooooon, What's his name? You can tell me, I'm a master at keeping secrets. In fact, I just steal them!

[Another circle around the creature.]

Kagerou! What can it do?

Maybe he can sit.

SIT!!

[At first, he felt bad moving Kay all around like he had. First out of the temple, then up to the roof, and now back to the temple again. But he'd done this for her sake... At least she's taking to it well.]

[She even seems to be taking it better than he is, considering he's staying on the opposite side of the room from the Acolyte.]

[... and he threw a blanket over its head.]

It doesn't have a name. It's... just meant to follow me. I think.

[He tilts his head. That's actually a good question.]

Mm. Sit.

[AND LOOK AT THAT. IT SITS.]

[Mother.

fuckin.

Magic.]

OH WOW. HE SAT!

[She runs over to the Acolyte, starting to try and climb up it as it...sits there. Seriously, it's like they just got a giant already-trained dog.]

He needs a name.

Kay... I wouldn't--

[He steps forward, to try and pick her off the thing. Just in case.]

It's not my place to name it.

I don't... think.

[And she's plucked like a little peach off of the Acolyte. She's gotten so used to it that it doesn't even phase her anymore.]

Fine. I'll name it.

[She puts a finger to her chin, tilting her head as she's held in Kagerou's hand. There were so many names she could give it. Maybe something simple like Steve or Jake, or...something symbolic like Kagerou's name was... Whatever it would be, it had to be perfect.

After all, these things live forever, don't they?]

Stumpy.

[He sets her up on his shoulder without thinking about it -- it's second nature to him, as well.]

You'll...?

[Well, there's no stopping her. And there's no harm in letting her. Is there? Trion won't be angry with something so simple as naming it. Right?]

[How bad can it be--]

[Oh.]

Stumpy?
