Call Me Out Post

Potential prompts:
Hospital visit - are you the patient? The doctor? A peer seeking consult?
Fetch quest - Yeah, just get me some of these, shouldn't be any trouble...
Dungeon crawl - hope you're prepared for that boss waiting at the end.
At the playground - those slides look pretty fun.
Stuck in a puzzle room - Seek a way out!
Go wild - make up your own!

[He figured as much!] They're joke presents. You know how certain people like certain things, right? A gag gift is so unexpected - and not something you'd give that person - that it's actually kinda funny.

Thus, the glass rooster. Paco thinks I'll get him a video game, while the Titans expect some of Mom's homebaked cookies. None of them'll think twice about this thing.

[knightofcourage]

Oh.

[Emil imagines himself giving something like that to Marta. ...No, maybe not a good idea. He can see Lloyd or Genis taking such a gift well, though.]

I guess it takes a certain kind of person to receive one of those.

[dentistwannabe]

Definitely. I wouldn't go around giving gag gifts to Mom unless I knew she could take it okay.

If they've got a good sense of humor, they might find it funny.

[knightofcourage]

Maybe I should get something like that for Lloyd. He'd probably think it was funny...I think.

[dentistwannabe]

From what I've heard, he and that... pink guy? [He means Zelos.] They'd like funny gifts.

If you want to, you can. I won't stop you.

[knightofcourage]

[It takes a second for Emil to understand the meaning of "that pink guy", but when he does he laughs.]

Getting one for Zelos might be a better idea, actually. It fits him.

[dentistwannabe]

Then get him something! If you don't find it here, we can stop by the mall real quick and see if there's something that'd be funny.

[Jaime: the kid with all the right priorities.]

[knightofcourage]

Okay. I'd rather just find something here, though.

[He's already looking around, trying to imagine how Zelos would react to a tacky-looking mask (actually, it's not that different from Lloyd's...) or a unicorn hat.]

[dentistwannabe]

What does he like? We could always grab the exact opposite.

[As it is, Jaime knows very little - except that Zelos is more feminine than most of the girls in Jaime's life, which is hilarious in itself.]

[knightofcourage]

[Flatly.]

Girls.

[There's a pause as Emil thinks.]

I know he lives in a mansion with his sister...oh, but I can't get anything that has to do with Seles. If he took it the wrong way, I'd be in a lot of trouble.

[dentistwannabe]

[Jaime nods in agreement.] Seles is younger than him, though, right? You could probably get him a 'How to Flirt' book - it's still funny without insulting his sister.

[knightofcourage]

Oh, that's a good idea! ...I'm pretty sure, anyway. I hope he wouldn't actually read it.

[Because then he'd start having to fear retribution in the form of Sheena. He'd probably deserve it too.]

[dentistwannabe]

From what you told me, I don't think he would.

[Though Sheena's wrath would be more than a present: it would be the best form of entertainment.[

I'M SO SORRY this is why I shouldn't delete RP labels.

[knightofcourage]

[Not if it's directed at Emil. No, thank you.]

I think he probably won't, but if he starts reading it I'll have created a monster.

it's really fine!!

[dentistwannabe]

[Oh right.]

Monsters are bad, yeah. Maybe we shouldn't go forth with that idea... we could just send him a pizza cake.

[knightofcourage]

[A pizza what--]

Where do you get one of those?

[dentistwannabe]

At a bakery? You just ask them to make a cake that looks like a pizza.

[knightofcourage]

Oh! I thought...

[Much better than a pizza-flavored cake.]

Never mind. I guess that'll work.

[dentistwannabe]

There's a bakery across the street that can order one for us. You wanna go ahead and go?

[knightofcourage]

Huh? Is that all right with you?

[dentistwannabe]

Yeah. I don't think I'm gonna find my sister's Christmas present here. She's big into My Little Pony this year, and I'm not sure if anyone here can make stuffed unicorns.

[Unicorns, alicorns, it's all the same to him. Jaime's intent on grabbing Milago's favorite (Rainbow Dash) but he doesn't see anything that'd capture the spirit of a kid's TV show.]
