002: Cogito/departure

[usagipino]

[Pino is back on the Plane, but she looks a bit different. For one thing, she's now wearing a full-body, pink bunny suit, complete with enormous ears. The lock of hair that is showing beneath the hood is no longer dark brown, but purple. She is looking around the Plane with a mysterious little smile.]

Pino came back! Can Pino play here? Can Pino show Vince?

[The pink ears give a curious twitch and she hops forward onto a star shining beneath the Astral floor.]

Exploring. Hop! [She jumps to another star.] Hop! [Jump.] Hop! [Jump.]

[She comes to a stop perched atop a nebula.] Hm? Cute?

[madamemoiselle]

Very! Adorable, even.

[usagipino]

[Her pink ears twitch.] Is Pino cute? What is cute?

[madamemoiselle]

...You don't know.

Um....cute is.....

{wtf is cute} It's a good thing!

[usagipino]

Cute is good! Is Pino good?

[madamemoiselle]

Oh, that's your name, right? Then yes, Pino is very good!

[usagipino]

Yay! Pino is very good! [She's pretty sure this is a "good" thing.]

[madamemoiselle]

Well, Pino, my name is Diva. It's very nice to meet you.

[usagipino]

Diva! Hello, Diva.

[madamemoiselle]

Do you know what "diva" means?

[usagipino]

Hmmm...nope~!

[madamemoiselle]

It means "a songstress". My sister loved my singing so much that she decided to name me for it, so I sing!

[usagipino]

Oh! Singing! Pino makes music too! Wait, wait! [She disappears from the Plane and comes back with her melodica around her neck. She promptly starts playing a cheerful tune.]

[madamemoiselle]

{Diva watches with a bright smile, and claps her hands at the end}

How wonderful! What instrument is that? I've never seen anything like it.

[usagipino]

Hm? Pino doesn't know! Pino found it outside the dome.

[madamemoiselle]

Ah, you only found it and you can play that well? You're a natural!

[usagipino]

Pino used to play piano! ...Before.

[madamemoiselle]

Before what?

[usagipino]

Hm! [She goes back to playing.]

[madamemoiselle]

{She listens for a bit before she starts to hum along with the music}

[usagipino]

[Pino starts wandering around in circles around Diva, wobbling back and forth but never missing a note.]

[madamemoiselle]

{She laughs a little, following Pino around in a kind of little dance, still humming}

[usagipino]

[Pino starts putting in some twirls and leaps. Good thing she doesn't have to breathe.]

[madamemoiselle]

{Diva is not even noticing that part, but she's having fun with their little musical routine}

[usagipino]

[Finally Pino gets to the end of the song that Hoody taught her. She starts clapping exuberantly.]
