003 - ｷﾀ━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━!!!

[Box is on his way to the library. He found some gloves in the ballroom, so he is wearing... well yes, gloves for women, but this case is a desperate one. At least they are clean. Speaking of bathhouse he got plenty of household cleaning products too in a bucket, together with a sponge.

Box is carrying a big ass sword too in his other hand what he found on some 'random table' around the Plane. He can't even lift it with one hand therefore he drags it after himself... but it looked awesome so as the collector otaku he is he took it.]

This whole thing is ridiculous, this can't be true, I swear I've gone mad, there is no way this can be possible this is not real, no not at all, it's like a game, a stupid video game-- well no, not a stupid one I would love to play with it but then I would have saving points, and I could stop it whenever it gets too much, and get some walkthrough hints from the forum, or cheat codes but no--

[It's easier to accept it if he looks at it through a 'screen'.]

Pff, and what's with the stupid question this or that, geez, at better places there are three choices not two, this is just so...

[As he rambles, some blob like thing gets closer and yanking Box backwards and before he knows it he ends up head up in that pile of goo for a few long long seconds. When he finally gets free, he is covered in slime and for a moment he can't even process what happened, or realize that his belongings disappeared, except the sword, apparently Like-Like preferred the bucket this time.]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHhhh!!!! Get it off, get it off!!!

[Freakout time.]

[Sebastian watches, teddy bear in arms, lion at his feet. He blinks.]

It is off now. Isn't it?

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

[Box shakes his head, and tries to get the slime off his body.] No, no no no, no, it's not it's still there, see?! SEE?! [Shows his arms for a moment before he continues his 'cleaning'.] It must abound in germs! Oh, for Anno's sake-!

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

[not understanding] Why don't you go to the bathhouse, then?

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

I was just coming from there--! Damn I shouldn't have left that place, I really shouldn't, that is the only clean place around without the dust, and enough water, and soap, aaaahhhh I need some soap right now!

[Whimpers, then looks at Sebastian, pausing for a moment. Wow such a pretty, foreign face. He looks like a man, but Box really can't tell when it comes to foreigners.] You are a guy, right?

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

[Sebastian frowns a little at that - he doesn't quite understand what Box is upset with, because it seems like real distress, not that vaguely obnoxious distaste some people get when they get a little dirt on their knees. The confusion doesn't shake with Box's question]

Of course I am. I don't think I've ever not been. [He looks down at himself to check if he looks much like a girl.] Why?

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

[Box is used to people not understanding his disorder, what he calls 'safety' but that doesn't stop him to try and explain it to people.]

Good, so you are not a girl, that's good. With you people I can't really tell! My radar is being confused by all the pretty around. [Chats while he takes off his shirt to try and wipe off his face with it.]

[Sebastian is still not comprehending this] I didn't think Catholics were particularly epicene.

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

Catholics, what, no! You Americans! [Because for Box every foreigner is American.] You look so weird sometimes it's hard to tell the gender.

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

[completely distracted from Box's problem at this point] I'm not from America. Aloysius may be from America, but I think that is only rumour, as he does not have an accent and has never said anything very American to me.

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

[Box is distracted from his own problem too--] Alo-- who? That's your name? Why are you talking about yourself in third person?

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

I'm Sebastian. Aloysius is my bear. [He holds up the bear to indicate, and then he nods down to the young lion cub at his feet] And that's Jeremy. How do you do?

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

[Box listens as he is trying to clean his hair with his shirt.] Nice to meet you Sebastian, and uh, Aloysius! [He is talking to his figures too so handling toys as close friends is not strange to him. Though he freezes at the lion.]

...

Aaaaahh!! Is it real!? Oh my God, it's real--! [It might be just a cub BUT IT'S A WILD ANIMAL!!!]

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

[Jeremy growls. Sebastian picks the baby lion up as if it were a relatively large kitten]

He doesn't bite. Do you, you silly old lion? Jeremy has a better temper than Aloysius does, and Aloysius hasn't hurt anyone.

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

[!!! Backs away.]

Aloysius is a teddy of course he is nice but this-- but Jeremy is a lion, a lion those are supposed to be in zoos or in the wild and not--- whatever this place is, thought if there could be dragons around and weird people then maybe a lion cub is excusable, but but but but--!

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

He hasn't ever bitten Charles or any of the servants, and I think he's happier with me than in a zoo.

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

That doesn't matter his place is in a zoo! He will be big once, and and-- he must be pretty troublesome to keep too all the poop and all the things animals are doing.

[Box pales a little thinking about all the fur, and drool, and bug a 'pet' might have, not to mention a lion.]

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

[Now getting defensive of his poor innocent beloved totally not dangerous baby lion] Wilcox will take care of it. I like him. Jeremy has to stay.

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

I didn't say he can't stay, Sebastian, just wondered that these animals are better in a zoo-! And uh, far away from me, at least. I might be allergic to his fur, you never know I never met a real lion before so anything can happen. Don't worry Jeremy it's not personal, but you must understand.

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

You can't be allergic, as you haven't started sneezing.

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

[...really.]

Oh.

Jeremy was lucky this time. But he is still filthy...!

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

He is not.

[If this sounds a bit like a child in a sulk---well.]

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

[Box stares at Sebastian for a few seconds, kinda in loss.]

I only believe that if you give him a bath, and I can see it too!

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

Then we must go to the bathhouse to clean him.

[boxtheotaku.livejournal.com]

[Box nods and takes back on his shirt even if he is shivering of how filthy it is!]

Let's go then, Sebastian, no time to waste anymore in filth! You get sick or worse, I heard there are sicknesses were your whole arms drop off!

[fruitbrandy.livejournal.com]

[he starts off to the onsen at once, somewhat horrified] How am I meant to hold a glass if I don't have any arms?
