[ the audio comes first, recording sounds of fumbling and annoyed muttering. ]

C'mon, work you stupid--

[ there's a click and the video feed turns on, showing a red haired man looking into the device. he stares for bit, trying to figure out what exactly the thing is. ]

Is that it? ... It's not doing anything. Shit. How am I going to

... You're Maka's dad?

You?

... I can't believe this.

[failpapa]

WHAT'S SO UNBELIEVABLE ABOUT IT?

[kyudousha]

BECAUSE YOU'RE FREAKIN' LOUD.

And dammit, if the intelligence gene had to come from somewhere, and it sure as hell wasn't here!

[failpapa]

OF COURSE I'M LOUD, I'M A FATHER LOOKING FOR HIS DAUGHTER.

--and I'll have you know I used to read to her every night! There's a damn good chance it came from me.

[kyudousha]

WELL FIND HER QUIETLY

Then it's probably her own genius that let her understand anything that you read to her.

[2/2]

[kyudousha]

Besides, don't tell me you're this loud with her too. Because if you are, I'm kinda surprised if she hasn't gone deaf yet.

[failpapa]

I've already found her! not even a place like this can keep me from makaaaaaa

Of course I wasn't this loud. I used to read to help her fall asleep~

[kyudousha]

Well, good for you. ... and this is obviously just proof I'm not missing out on anything.

And she actually fell asleep while you were reading to her?

[failpapa]

Sometimes! She'd fall asleep on my chest, and I'd tuck her into bed.

[kyudousha]

Huh, to make someone fall asleep while reading them a book.

You must have been a pretty boring reader, then.

[failpapa]

HEY, KIDS FALL ASLEEP ALL THE TIME. And I bet I gave her beautiful dreams!

[kyudousha]

Yeah, but while listening to someone read? To me, that obviously just shows her disinterest in the way you read. If you're going to read to her, you might as well make it more exciting, right?

[failpapa]

SHE DIDN'T ALWAYS FALL ASLEEP.

[kyudousha]

And that's something to be proud of? No offense, but your standards are kinda... low.

... Whatever. You guys come from a world called 'Shibusen'?

[failpapa]

THEY ARE NOT.

--Shibusen is the name of our school, actually.

[kyudousha]

THEY SO ARE.

-- 'our' school? So, what, you're a teacher there?
