[ livio has animals with him at the park, btw. don't know how much of this d can see but there's a red duckling on his head and two rats in his pockets ]

I heard the maid outfits were your idea. Somehow I'm not surprised.

[onlypets]

[i

HELLO????? Going in and out, shimmery D is HOVERING. Cute... He's a hippie, sue him.]

I-- Excuse me? My fault? I only wanted everyone to meet in the maid cafe! It was the place with the most sweets...

[crimebaby]

Ya really like sweets that much?

[ the red duckling is nested very comfortably in his hair. and livio has had character development, because he's petting her ]

Her name's Poppy. I was teachin' her how to swim.

[onlypets]

Yes. Nothing is better than sweet tea and dessert...

[POPPY. He stands still so long looking at her that he winks out of existence completely.]

Usually it's best for ducklings to at least be five weeks old to begin swimming. Or... so long as they can walk in and out of the shallow water comfortably. Let her splash in a shallow dish or sink or tub.

[crimebaby]

[ two rats poke their heads out, too ]

[ d.... hippie ]

Yeah, that's what I've been doing. Shallow water first, but she's pretty good at it. Simon actually sent us some tips. But if ya have more, I'll listen.

[ he'll take notes on his phone, even, which is hard while he's trying to concentrate d there ]

[onlypets]

Of course he did.

[Mr. Animal Handler.

Wiggling a almost transparent finger at the rats even though it does nothing.]

I'm glad you have two. They are very social creatures and should always come in pairs.

[crimebaby]

If it's one thing he knows, it's animal training. [ a bit wryly ] Like I said, I'll take any tips you have to offer.

[ livio is a responsible pet owner. poppy quacks because livio is not paying enough attention to her, so he carefully lifts up a hand to pet her softly ]

[ the rats are also well trained, livio gets them to climb up onto his shoulder, stand up on their hind legs and do the rat equivalent of a wave at d ]

[onlypets]

It sounds like you've had good instruction.

[For as awful as Simon can be, the man knows the animals.......... even if D has a distaste for circus culture in regards to animals. Anyway.

He laughs gently at the rats, but it's a genuine laugh. Funny hearing his laugh and not seeing very much of him.]

[crimebaby]

[ d is such a nerd... livio also seems pretty happy. he likes animals, and he's not currently afraid of hurting them, so he's having fun with his lil posse. also i think we determined that circuses don't exist in trigun so he has no frame of reference ]

So what have you been up to, on the other side? Aside from making everyone dress up as maids and eating chocolate.

[ he is joking ]

[onlypets]

[There's a disembodied huff of exhale.]

Why do I keep getting blamed for that? We decided to meet on Monday, and the maid cafe felt like the best place is all. I didn't make anyone do anything...

There were sweets, of course.

[crimebaby]

Does seem like something ya would do. [ sticking his tongue out a bit... but teasing ]

... Ya guys had to dress up as maids to go into the cafe and meet? [ ???? ]

[onlypets]

[A transparent, in-and-out hand comes up and through Livio's face, almost like he's trying to grab the tongue but obviously can't.]

Yes. It was a requirement to be in the cafe. We had to dress as maids and butlers and say, "How can we serve you, Master?"

[crimebaby]

[ making a face at d while sticking out further.... don't ghost grab his tongue that's weird? ]

.... Oh.

[ suddenly, things make sense ]

I guess weirder things have happened.

[onlypets]

[Don't be sticking it out at him if you don't want it ghost grabbed, Livio!]

I think much weirder things happened on your side anyhow.

[crimebaby]

[ don't ghost grab tongues, weirdo!! ]

.... Can't deny that. I didn't dress up weird, though.

[onlypets]

[Hmmmmmm.]

Perhaps you already dress weird, so there was no need.

[crimebaby]

[ normally he'd get self conscious about this but he seems weirdly incapable of it ]

I've got pretty good fashion sense. Ya didn't complain when I gave ya my hat.

[onlypets]

Mmm.... It was a bit small...

[It fit his head fine, but he is surprisingly tsundere for a guy who is emotionally competent.]

A little out of fashion for me in particular.

[crimebaby]

What would ya have me wear? Robes?

[ imagine this turns into shopping trip ]

[onlypets]

Oh, it's fine on you, Mr. Livio. I just mean on me. I don't look very good in Western clothing.

[MAYBE IT SHOULD BE A SHOPPING TRIP, THOUGH. Help Livio.]

[crimebaby]

[ awww ]

Well, maybe ya should give them a chance.

[ how did this happen ...... ]

[onlypets]

I assure you, I have, and that is exactly how I know they look atrocious on me. No thank you.

[He will stick with his very fancy Chinese clothing, including the dresses.]

[crimebaby]

Ya do look nice in what yer wearing now.

[ from what livio can actually see when he's flickering into existence ]

T-chan is with ya, right?

[onlypets]

You can barely see me, Mr. Livio, so that almost feels like a lie.

[Teasing.]

He is, yes. Do you want to say hi?

[crimebaby]

I saw ya earlier....

[ no teasing allowed ]

Sure. Just wanted to make sure he was okay, too.
