Fifth

[akapeanut]

[Considering the whole non-permanence of death thing, not to mention the closets, George isn't too worried about her track record with pets. And after all, she kept her frog for a long time! Like, two years!

It might be that overconfidence that made fate decide to fuck with her, though.]

Hey. Uh, if anybody finds a yellowish-orangeish frog about

[second_first]

I will look.

[akapeanut]

Thanks, Rei. You don't have to touch him if you don't want to.

[second_first]

I don't mind.

[akapeanut]

Just figured I'd say. Some people get grossed out.

[Not that Rei really seems like...that type.]

[second_first]

[She nods slightly.]

...Why a frog?

[akapeanut]

He hopped into my life. I dunno.

[Shrug.]

[second_first]

[That makes so much sense to Rei.]

...I have never had a pet.

[akapeanut]

You could get one now if you wanted.

[Rei seems like she'd have small rodents or something.]

[second_first]

[She shakes her head.] I think I shouldn't.

[akapeanut]

I think you'd be good with animals. You're quiet.

[She means that in the best possible way.]

[second_first]

[Rei is quiet for a minute. She doesn't think she could take care of a pet, since she's learned that she really doesn't even take good care of herself. But she doesn't know how to express that.]

...Maybe.

[akapeanut]

[But George knows what "maybe" means in Apathetic.]

What? What's wrong?

[second_first]

...It's a lot of responsibility.

[Never having had parents, that isn't just Rei repeating what she's heard. She really means it.]

[akapeanut]

Yeah, but eventually they're just part of the family, or whatever.

[second_first]

[Rei is quiet a moment, then turns the device to pan the camera around her room. Maybe that will speak for itself.]

[akapeanut]

[...]

Dogs don't mind if it's messy.

[Okay she knows that was lame.]
