[they laugh.]

Oh, boy, and do I say all kinds of stuff! Saying stuff is my favorite thing.

[they hand her a glass pan of brownie mix.] Carry this for me, don't trip.

[gamerbrain]

[ she doesn't trip. somehow. ]

Like what?

[probe]

People like to tell me I talk a lot, and that they don't understand a ding dang word I say, but I think I'm perfectly understandable.

[they open the oven, and gesture. put in!!]

[gamerbrain]

[ aoi slides it in very very cautiously, like she's worried she might some how ruin it at this stage. ]

Aoi understands you just fine. Besides, Aoi thinks talkative people are better, especially when Aoi can't read their internal monologue.

[probe]

[she manages! wrath closes the oven, turning the temperature up, and then looks back to aoi.]

Fair enough, yeah. Hey, good job, by the way. Now all we have to do is wait for the brownies to bake. [high five?]

[gamerbrain]

[ high five! ]

Good job...! You don't need to learn to bake at all.

[probe]

[they seem super jazzed about the high five.]

Maybe I just wanted an excuse to hang out with you, chica.

[gamerbrain]

Chica...

[ Unfamiliar terminology... ]

[probe]

Yeah. Like, girlie. Pet names.

[gamerbrain]

Oh!

That could have used a tooltip. But Aoi likes it.

[probe]

This is what I mean by people think I don't make any sense. [they say, amused.] Good, though. You're cute, you deserve one.

[gamerbrain]

Aoi just hadn't heard that one before...!

The only other nickname Aoi has ever gotten was from Misa Misa.

[probe]

Was it a good one?

[gamerbrain]

[ looks at when this pc takes place. ]

Yup! Aoi likes it. It's really cute!

[ ... oh! ]

Should Aoi give you a nickname, too?

[probe]

[haha oh boy]

-- Do you want to? I'm down. [they sound endlessly endeared? wow.]

[gamerbrain]

It's a little hard when you have a funny name already... And Aoi's never given anyone a nickname before...

[ misa's nickname was already her nickname, so it's not like aoi came up with it. hmm, she has to think about this. ]

[probe]

I bet whatever you come up with is going to be great.

[gamerbrain]

[ hmm she has to think about this. ]

Wrath... Wrath...

Oh! What about Rath?

[ ............ it? sounds exactly the same? ]

[probe]

[... aoi you are trying, so hard.]

Hm. [they sound like they're trying not to laugh.] Misa calls me Wracchi, if you want to do that.

[gamerbrain]

Aoi wants to make her own...

[ she frowns a bit. ]

You didn't like Aoi's nickname?

[probe]

It's very cute, and I love it, it's just uh, very similar sounding to Wrath.

[wheeze]

[gamerbrain]

But Aoi took a letter off. It would be very clear in a written medium.

[probe]

[to their credit they really just take this in stride.]

Understandable, but uh, when we're talking out loud, like now? It's not. Very much.

[gamerbrain]

Hmm... Got it.

[ she thinks some more... ]

Sweetie! Because we're baking. [ :D? ]

[probe]

[oh my god]

Absolutely. That's perfect. [they reach to ruffle her hair a little.] Sweetie it is.
