1 ♡ video/action for new bark!

[ It's evident that Orihime adores her Happiny by the way she's holding the Pokemon up in the air by the waist. ]

Ahaha, you're so cute! [ Happiny squeals happily in response as Orihime inspects the Pokemon at eye-level. ] Ohh, you're so tiny, I could just pack you up in my bag and take you home with me!!

[ But her excitement is short-lived,

Comments

1/2 you're just racking up these icon combos, man

[guitarnero]

[ ...that's Kyrie's voice. That sure as hell isn't Kyrie, though. ]

2/2 [voice]

[guitarnero]

[ Hey there Orihime, have Ichigo's voicetwin. ]

You're as stuck as the rest of us. Better get used to it.

[ Other people would apologize upon delivering this shitty news. Not Nero! :D Admittedly, his curiosity softens his tone. ]

[voice] oh my god i know right, i came home to all this gloriousness

[hibiscushield]

[ And ironically enough, that's Ichigo's voice she's hearing. The words don't quite sound like they'd be his- they're a little more aggressive, a little less understanding- but... it doesn't hurt to check, right? ]

I-Is that you, Kurosaki-kun...?

[voice --> video] I meant to type video in the first place, go me orz

[guitarnero]

[ Her question makes him pause. Realizing he has audio-only on, Nero makes a frustrated noise and fixes the feed. Unfortunately for Orihime, the face that greets her is white-haired and pale-eyed. ]

Never heard of him. You've the wrong guy.

[ If that's even a guy...Koo-roh-what? Moonspeak, how do. ]

[video] hahaha no worries ♥

[hibiscushield]

[ And when she sees his face, she can't deny that she's disappointed. It would have been nice to see him here, somewhere where he's safe and away from that man. But she'll try not to let the circumstances keep her from being friendly. ]

O-Oh!!! Aah, I'm sorry! Y-You just sounded a lot like him, so...

[ Orihime should teach you some Moonspeak Japanese later on. :| ]

[video]

[guitarnero]

[ Ffff, more people who are unhappy to see him. Just great. ]

You sound just like someone I know, so I guess we're even. [ A pause. ] I'm Nero.

[video]

[hibiscushield]

[ Nooo Nero don't take it the wrong way ;n;

Laughs a litle. ] Strange how things work out that way, hm? It's nice to meet you, Nero-san.

[video]

[guitarnero]

[ ...she even acts like Kyrie. Goddamn, now he can't be all surly and rude to her. ]

It's just Nero. [ He has surprisingly yet to be addressed with a suffix! See, look, that teaching opportunity is coming sooner than you think. ]

[video]

[hibiscushield]

[ She might as well Kyrie's long lost twin sister, or something. ]

A-Ah, um, okay, Nero...! [ It feels weird not using a suffix! But... if that's what he wants, then that's okay, too. Just don't be surprised if it pops up habitually. ]

[video]

[guitarnero]

[ Fffff, is she wearing her white dress? Because that'd be too much. ]

...you don't have to be weird about it.

[ DID I SAY 'NOT SURLY AND RUDE' BECAUSE HAHA HE TENDS TO DEFAULT BACK TO 'GRUFF ASSHOLE' WHEN THE OPPORTUNITY PRESENTS ITSELF ]

[video]

[hibiscushield]

[ Nah, not right now. She did have a very similar outfit at one point in canon, though! ]

W...Weird?! H-How am I being weird...?

[ OH, NERO. B( IT'S OKAY. She's dealt with grumps a lot worse than you before, so this isn't a huge problem. Heh. ]

[video]

[guitarnero]

[ Awkward nose scratching. He does that when he's uncomfortable. ]

It's just a name.

[video]

[hibiscushield]

[ He is so much like Ichigo rn it's not even funny ]

Um, well, honorifics are used to show respect! So, um, I-I think it would only be fair for me to use them with you. B-But if you don't want one either, that's okay, I guess, Nero-san!

[ Oops. Here we go. B( ]

[video]

[guitarnero]

[ Fffff-- ]

So you tack that onto my name to make more honorable?

[ He is so good at cultural understanding... ]

[video]

[hibiscushield]

Well- It's not- [ And she is so good at explaining... ]

It's just a standard way of showing respect! Um, the -san suffix is used more often than the others, I think.
