[ VIDEO ] Kazoo 18

[fun_thementalist]

[ In the video, Gen - looking rather excited - is standing next to Senku - and doesn't waste any time by saying: ]

Good morning, fellow Voidtreckers! We've had ... quite a few days, haven't we? Floods, and fires, and of course that nasty mission ... it's enough to even make me feel bogged down and stressed. My apologies to all of our new passengers - I promise you, things are not usually quite so chaotic. So, perhaps some good news!

Because, honestly, who doesn't want an excuse to party?

My dearest friend Senku-chan - that's the fine young genius beside me - has asked for my hand in marriage, and I have of course accepted. I know a good deal when I see one, mmm? And everybody, everybody is invited.

You don't need to bring anything, or dress up, or do anything except show up. Really. We don't need anything.

Yes - see, where we come from, it's considered good luck to have lots and lots of guests to a wedding. So indeed, my friends, you don't need to bring anyone but yourselves and your appetite. There'll be cake!

And wine.

[Senku sighs a little bit at all of the fuss, scratching his ear idly, but he's there letting Gen have it anyway.]

Our wedding will be on the 24th day of Kazoo. We look forward to seeing you there!

Aw, man, that's wonderful! Congrats, you two! Of course I'll be there!

[fun_thementalist]

Well, thank you, my friend. I'll be delighted to see you there.

You'll have a good time, I promise. [ Winked at her with a grin. ]

[Don't mind Ghost just. Resting his chin on his hand as he leans against the window in his cabin. His phone isn't in sight, but it must be pretty close to the ICP since his voice comes through fine.]

So, lacking anything else, are 'framed prints of your neural scans' an appropriate wedding gift?

[Unfortunately, Senku, he likes you enough that he jokes around with you now.]

[fun_thementalist]

...

I'd say that Senku-chan would be delighted, but I also believe I'm missing, ah. Context?

[ but seriously, whut ]

[10billionpercent]

[ Is that an innocent smile? ]

I wasn't talking about experimenting on you.

[10billionpercent]

I have faith in you Airavata, come and eat lots of food for good luck!

[morganizedchaos]

[Well, at least one of them can look innocent.

It's not the alien.]

And here I thought communication was the cornerstone of a happy marriage.

[This is the 'programmed a kitchen robot to sass' face.]

[fun_thementalist]

[ He's getting teased and he knows it, and he's actually pretty amused by it. ]

[ He pretends to pout. ]

My dearest, by your insistence that you weren't planning on experimenting on me - I'm pretty certain you are planning on experimenting on me.


[ Raised an eyebrow at Ghost - ] I'm sure Senku-chan would've asked permission shortly before scanning my brain.

[sciencegirl]

[Oh thank god, something good! She needed this.]

Congratulations! I don't know you, Gen. But I know Senku loves you a lot! I hope you two have a very happy celebration.

...It's too late to request any tiny bowls or plates, isn't it?

[Well, y'know... you can't always find tiny food. It's alright. She'll adapt.]

[fun_thementalist]

[ He can't help but smile just a little smugly; ]

Ah, but any friend of Senku-chan's is a friend of mine. A pleasure meeting you, my dear. I'm not surprised to hear he's been speaking of me, and in rather fond terms at that. I'm glad I've already made a good impression.

[ A small pause, then curious; ] Tiny bowls or plates?

[10billionpercent]

I would've told you eventually. [ He waves his hand a little dismissively. ]

I was ten billion percent sure you would volunteer. [ Or you know, get told to do it and do it anyway. ]

[10billionpercent]

I told her you're free labour. [ He's a charmer isn't he? Although, he's just teasing, Gen. ]

If you mean like...tiny food, I'm not sure I know how to make any.

[morganizedchaos]

It's for legitimate medical purposes. Senku told me something about your circumstances and, well, I inherited a doctorate in neuroscience, so I offered to take a look.

[No, he's not immediately going to offer an explanation for 'inherited.']

[fun_thementalist]

[ ... Inherited. ]

[ There's a lot of strangeness here but one thing at a time - ]

Truth be told, I would be interested in knowing if our lengthy stone nap had any negative - or positive! - effects on our brains.

Because, of course, my fiance is correct - and I would very much volunteer for such a study.

[ Or get dragged in. ]

It's a pity we won't have a 'before' shot to compare these to.

[herarrows]

Congratulations to you as well. You've certainly gotten yourself quite the catch, haven't you?

[fun_thementalist]

I certainly believe so.

[ Smug little grin ]

Forgive me, my dear, I don't believe I've had the pleasure. I presume you're a friend of Senku-chan's?

[herarrows]

We've not had the chance, no. My name is Selenay, and yes I'm a friend of his. And I may have a secret to tell you, too, though you may already know it.

[fun_thementalist]

I'm delighted to meet you, Selenay.

And what secret is this?

[sciencegirl]

Yeah, but sometimes tiny servings will do.

But I can accept big food. As long as you guys are happy and it's your celebration!

[herarrows]

Well he recently let it slip that he's rather sweet, which I'm sure you already know, though he swore to me he'll deny it to any and everyone and no one would believe me.

[10billionpercent]

That's not what I said and you know it. [ Deny, deny, deny. ]

Don't listen to her, Mentalist.

[fun_thementalist]

Ah, I'll have to agree. Senku-chan is a sweetheart. And I'm certain more people would believe us than he'd think.

[ Knows that Senku is right in earshot, of course, and his smile was playful as he winked at Selenay. ]

[ And grinned wider at Senku ]

I don't know why you deny it, my dearest ~~

[herarrows]

That was my thought as well, but he seems so damn determined to be anything else.

Do I know it, though? [Not getting away with it, Senku]

[fun_thementalist]

[ Sheepish laugh, playing along with being teased -] Free labor! I'll have you know, I demand to be paid in the finest of candy and cola.

[ Hummed a little, considering her request. ]

We are very happy, you can rest easy knowing that. And certainly - don't hesitate taking tiny servings if you'll be more comfortable, my dear. Now that I know your preference, I can remember it for the next party.

[10billionpercent]

I'm not determined, it's just factual. [ He snorts lightly. ] You didn't think I was a sweetheart when you were making 800 batteries, did you?

[ Selenay is rewarded with a look. ]

I did tell you. I don't know where you got this impression.
