[Accidental Video] Backdated to Midmorning

[ocd_reaper]

[Kid stayed up until the wee hours of the morning straightening picture frames.]

[All of them.]

[In all the public places of the mansion.]

[Fortunately, the image of him is just him being groggy but fully dressed instead of partially dressed.]

[Also, he's glaring at a flower-like chalk drawing on the floor.]

Honestly. Has she no respect for people's privacy?

[He goes to get a bucket and scrub brush. As soon as he leans in, brush at the ready, the chalk drawing glows and suddenly there are flowers all over his floor.]

Okay! I get it! I'll try not to wash them off anymore!

Is there any training or anything you have to go through?

[ocd_reaper]

My father teaches me what I need to know in managing things so that there will be a smooth transition. However, the very basics of the job are instinct to me, so he gives me guidance with that so I make the correct decisions.

I've been deployed on soul collection missions for years now. [Touch of pride at that.]

[chest_rubber]

That's awesome! You must be the bust, since your dad runs the whole thing.

[ocd_reaper]

[Just keep stroking his ego.]

Well, I technically don't have to attend classes since I already know the material, but I'm hardly the best.

[But he's definitely close to the top and it's obvious he knows it.]

[chest_rubber]

[At least he's responding in a positive manner.]

Are you the only one that doesn't have to go? It makes it sound like you're the best, if that's the case.

[ocd_reaper]

Well, my Weapons don't have to go, but we all choose to anyway.

[chest_rubber]

Really? Why do you guys go if you don't have to?

[ocd_reaper]

Largely social interaction. Up until now, my time spent with humans was largely limited. I need to know how to interact with them better.

[chest_rubber]

Oh! That makes sense. Are you getting along with others well?

[ocd_reaper]

Mostly. [Though he and Black*Star have a friendship that causes property damage while sparring.] Having a bit more trouble here though. It's very different from what I'm used to.

[That and he's missing his balances in Liz and Patty. ;A;]

[chest_rubber]

Oh. Are people not as friendly here or something?

[Becky doesn't have a lot of friends at home, the poor thing. She doesn't have that sort of balance with others. Even Chuck ran out on her.]

[ocd_reaper]

No, it's just taking some adjusting. Like the sun and moon don't have faces. Even the magic here isn't obvious with how it works.

So I make mistakes. [Like erasing those symbols.]

[chest_rubber]

... the sun and the moon in your world have faces?!

Well everyone makes mistakes. The smart people just learn from them.

[ocd_reaper]

[He nods.]

And, yes. For instance, next time I'm going to try not to erase what I don't recognize.

[But it'll be hard. Stupid OCD.]

[chest_rubber]

That's a good rule to follow. You might not want to touch anything if you don't know what it does either. Like there's some things that active by touch and, I don't know about this place, but at home anything activated by touch is never good.

[ocd_reaper]

I'll definitely keep that in mind.

[chest_rubber]

Yep! Good luck with everything around here. I hope that you don't run into anything else you can't handle.
