Thirty-First PSI

[voice, private to Rin Kagamine, Shiraasan, Tavros, and Nanashi]
I  . . . I'm not sure what came over me.  I guess it must have been the town playing tricks again, but I was feeling really strange last week.  I'm really sorry.  Especially to you, Tavros.  We only just met and, um.  You're not even a girl I don't think.  I-I promise I don't actually like any of you, so please don't worry about that kind of thing. 

I mean! Wait!   I do like you, all of you, a lot!  Just  Not.  Um.   You know.  Ah.  Not like...... N-Not ............... I'm just going to apologize and hang up now.

[action]
1.  [It is early Saturday morning and Lucas is walking a dog down the street.  This is standard fare for Lucas's weekends, but Lucas appears significantly more animated than usual as he talks aloud, seemingly to himself.  But actually . . . It's pretty clear he seems to think he's holding a conversation with someone.  The dog is, of course, welcome to tag as well.]

2. [It is early Monday morning on the way to school and there are a few birds sitting on top of Lucas's head and shoulders, tweeting merrily away.  Once again, he appears engrossed in a conversation.]

3. [I'm just going to outright say it.  If you are an animal or own an animal, Lucas wants to talk to you/it.]

4. [In the Mayfield Library, Lucas has a table all to himself and is frowning a little as he concentrates on the task before him.  There are photographs and hand-drawn pictures of people scattered all across -- much more of the latter.  There are at least 30 different drawings, each of probably unfamiliar people.  A blond man with a scarf and a cigarette and a dark-haired young woman feature prominently among them.  ....What Lucas appears to be doing is fitting these pictures into an elegant notebook of some sort.]

I'm Lucas.

[Seeing that she wanted to make conversation, he stops and takes a step closer.]

How about you? And you, too?

Good evening to you too. [Said to Snowflake.]

Can I pet him?

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2011-02-24 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, go ahead. I walk her for Mr. Abel on weekends. She likes her ears rubbed.

[woof woof]

....... No? Oh, um. More to the center than the ears....

So you'd rather like someone who's never heard of you before, huh? To be liked not for your talent, but for being you?

Yeah, that's right! ♪

.... Oh! But they have to think I'm the best, too.

[identity profile] bullsit.livejournal.com 2011-02-24 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, well, if you say so, but please be really careful, uh, anyway? I know I am kind of weak and, um, useless, but she is definitely really powerful. Or was, because she is just a human now.

As for, uh, why, I guess I don't really know. She kind of, um, confuses me, in general.
doudemoe: (um...)

1/2

[...Huh, seems like it's not just robots that understand dog.]

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2011-02-24 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
. . . If I ever meet her, I'll ask. But you shouldn't think of yourself as useless.

[pause.]

And the only reason you might be weak is because of what she did.

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2011-02-24 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
The best singer . . . ?
doudemoe: (we did it)

[personal profile] doudemoe 2011-02-24 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
[But, on to the petting.]

Hey there girl.

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2011-02-24 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Lucas stands back a little as the dog responds to the attention by panting happily.]

She's really wonderful. I'm glad Mr. Abel lets me care for her . . .

[The braver fellow hops a bit closer.]

PSI? Is that like magic? That's what our master says he uses to talk to us.

[personal profile] roadroller 2011-02-24 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
That would be nice, or at least the best Vocaloid. ♪ They better think that if they're going to be my boyfriend or girlfriend.

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2011-02-24 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
. . . I probably shouldn't be surprised that you can use magic to talk to animals. No, PSI is psychic power. They're probably a little similar.

[identity profile] snackaholictank.livejournal.com 2011-02-24 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
I think it was the town. I felt like hitting people all day for some reason.

[identity profile] sanctusdei.livejournal.com 2011-02-24 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe? We didn't know much about it until we met our master. But he uses it every day on us, so we can still speak with him. He calls us 'familiars'.

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2011-02-24 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I-I see . . . And what about if they never hear any of the others?

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2011-02-24 04:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably so you would touch people. I didn't start feeling weird until after I touched Rin, and then . . . It turned into everyone else as soon as we touched.

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2011-02-24 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. I think that's a fancy word that means he likes to have someone to talk to. Who is he?

[identity profile] bullsit.livejournal.com 2011-02-24 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Um, yes, I think that it has something to do with that, because, uh, I definitely feel more confident with, um, legs. Even if it is just fake confidence, that is not real, but that is better than before, when, uh, there was none, at all.

Though I am pretty useless, and it is kind of silly to argue that I am anything but, um, useless, most of the time.

[identity profile] sanctusdei.livejournal.com 2011-02-24 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
His name is Theo! He's wonderful. He's the nicest master.

[Even cowardly crow flaps his wings and speaks up.]

Yes! We love him.

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2011-02-24 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Tavros . . . I don't know you very well, but . . . no one should think they're useless. Maybe there are some things you don't do very well, or maybe you know people who are better than you at anything you can think of, but . . .

You're still not useless. That's not true of anyone, and it's definitely not true for someone who seems as nice as you.

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2011-02-24 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)
That's great, that you care so much for each other. In a place like this . . . I think that's the most important thing.

[identity profile] a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com 2011-02-24 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
((Noooo LJ ate my response. T_T Geez, I apologize.))

[Lucas seems a little relieved at that. His OTP is still intact, anyway. A bit of a laugh in his voice, he responds quickly.]

I'm glad the two of you are on good terms, though. . . . And he does, a little, doesn't he? It must be to balance out how nice he is inside . . .

[which netherlands did you meet, lucas]

Hmm, I don't know. ♪ The others are my family so it'd have to be pretty deliberate not to listen to them eventually, right? I'm not going to order anyone to do that.

But if they say I'm the best Vocaloid and then change their mind, I'll run them over. ♪
