[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.]

... I've never been to a school. But, Kay, no. I don't think it's the same thing as a computer.

[He thinks it's just a particularly quiet sort of Cybertronian.]

It... How can you tell?

[Action]

[littlecrowgirl]

Maybe Mr. Trion just lent him out to you.

...

Well, he's not taking the blanket off, is he?

[Action]

[thxforthememories]

Then I shouldn't name it. It's not actually mine.

...

That doesn't mean it enjoys the blanket.

[Action]

[littlecrowgirl]

Well, ask him if he has a name. If not, he should get one.

[She folds her arms.]

Who doesn't love a good blanket? Weirdos, that's who.

[Action]

[thxforthememories]

I don't know if it's... going to answer that. It just sort of listens when I ask it to do things...

[Maybe he should have asked Trion to be more specific about this thing.]

This thing is strange, Kay.

[Action]

[littlecrowgirl]

Oh, then this'll be a lot easier.

Just tell him his name is Stumpy! He'll listen!

[Action]

[thxforthememories]

[He looks at the Acolyte, uncertainly.]

... Your name is... Stumpy.

[It just nods.]

[Action]

[littlecrowgirl]

I knew it. He likes the name!

So it's Kay, Kagerou and Stumpy.

...hm. Doesn't really flow as nicely as I thought.

[Action]

[thxforthememories]

How can you tell?

[Oh. Okay. He sort of has to smile there.]

I'm not sure anything 'flows' with... Stumpy.

[Action]

[littlecrowgirl]

...You never read the story of Snow White, did you.

[Everything goes with Stumpy there.]

[Action]

[thxforthememories]

There are a lot of things I've never read, Kay.

[Action]

[littlecrowgirl]

...Oh. Well that would explain it.



Stumpy would fit right in.

[Action]

[thxforthememories]

How would he fit in with... snow?

[Action]

[littlecrowgirl]

No no, Snow White was a princess.

It's kind of a silly name now that I think of it.

[Action]

[thxforthememories]

A princess?

... You can name it what you like, Kay.

[Action]

[littlecrowgirl]

Yeah, the Princess's name is Snow White.


...so. Stumpy it is. Is he part of the family too?

[Action]

[thxforthememories]

Why?

... Do you want him to be?

[Action]

[littlecrowgirl]

[She puts a hand to her chin, thinking.]

Well, he might feel left out.

[Action]

[thxforthememories]

It's your choice. Whatever you want.
