[the WAND. they just let mahito grab their hand! good thing mahito doesn't have nasty flea powers here. then again, i don't want to think about whether mahito can shape the soul of a god. maybe sloth is immune anyway.
mahito begins to sort of float an inch or so off the ground!]
Wow... me being the one welcomed instead of the other way around... I... don't know what to say! It's strange! Thanks...!
[Yeah surely a god that shepherds souls would be able to protect their soul from his little demon hands... IT'S FINE!!]
If it's good-strange, I'll welcome you more often! [Imagine being an outsider and listening in on their absolute nonsense conversations. ANYWAY!! HOLDING HIS BUBBLE WAND UP.]
[they let mahito back down and wait patiently for the bubbles. oh. OH?
?!?!?!?!
startled, they visibly jump and scoot back a bit, unsure of what these floating beasts are capable of really.] A-AH! Ahh... ah. Wh-What?! [they're still trying to dodge them for a second, but then...
sort of stop and... hold out a grey hand to see if they can hold one. it pops. :'( they reach out for another, but then pull back.]
[This is the funniest fuckin reaction to bubbles he's ever seen in his entire LIFE. He's absolutely cracking the fuck up, sorry not sorry Sloth.]
Hah, wow! You've really never seen bubbles like this at all before, huh? Don't worry, don't worry! They won't hurt. All they do is float around and then pop! But they're really bitter if you try to eat them.
[DON'T LAUGH, they don't know a fucking bubble like this in their life. their bubbles are like little second plops on the surface of water, or whatever. or bubbles in alcohol. LISTEN. three-headed dog snot bubbles.]
Oh! Well, I'd like to eat one!
[they bring both hands up to cup them together, palms up, like they're waiting for something.]
[WHY THE FCK. WHY DID YOU JUST THROW THAT IN AT THE END I HATE IT HERE
Anyway, Mahito will helpfully drag the bubble wand along the center of one of their palms, leaving a nice streak of bubble juice behind.]
There! Try to catch some with that hand! If the bubbles land on the liquid, it won't break the surface tension so they won't pop for a while! You can eat it too, I guess.
[HE GUESSES?? Anyway, he'll helpfully blow another round of bubbles.]
[???? I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING? THEY WERE WAITING ON A PRESENT, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT YOU'D GIVE ME.]
Okay!
[they let their hands be coated, and then wait for mahito to bestow upon them more amazing bubblies. they laugh a bit when the next set shoot out, and they raise their hands up to try to see if they can get some of the bubbles to land. success!]
This is kind of amazing--wow! I caught one! Whoa...
[THEY HAVE BUBBLES!!! but now... they... don't know what to do. they hold two of them like they're afraid they're dropping a baby or something.]
[NO THE DOG SNOT BUBBLES THROWN IN THERE i typed buttles first im losing my entire mind]
Yeah, you did! Good work! It's fun, right? They'll still pop eventually, though... You can tell when they're about to because the surface kinda starts looking like a swirly rainbow.
[But while Sloth's busy having a crisis there, he'll hold the wand out!]
[they tenderly hold these lil bubbles where they can watch them.... ahhhh. one of them pops which is sad, but there is still one left until mahito offers out the wand. they crush the bubble accidentally in their excitement.]
Yes! Absolutely! [they will take this wand!! and BLOW BUBBLES!] Wooow!
Wow though Sloth and Mahito really vibe, huh. Sometimes you just crush things in your excitement! Anyway, he will applaud for the stream of bubbles that Sloth successfully blows, before reaching up to catch a few in his demon vice grip.]
That's fun too, right? It's too bad I don't have a bigger wand, 'cuz you can blow huge bubbles with those! But the tiny ones are good, too. You can hold those ones, and you can't do that with the big ones.
[they really want to see a big one, but alas. carefully, they take a smash on the ol' bubble wand again to shoot a stream of bubbles out into the air. it makes them laugh, and they reach up with the free hand to paw at one.]
[He holds up his arms to an exaggeratedly large size... Well, bubbles can truly be enormous though! Case in point:]
You can! Not all the way, but I've seen videos where they fill a little wading pool with this stuff and then use a hula hoop to pull up a big bubble over people standing in the middle. Neat, right?
Whoa. [they think about the idea of floating there while someone slaps a giant bubble over them with a hola hoop (they don't know wtf that is).] Whoa...!
That'd be amazing! Wow. I want to try it sometime!
[can they pull a plastic kiddie pool and hoola hoop out of their sleeve?
they lift the bubble wand, but then pause. reaching up, they pull the hood back off the horn and away from their head. a pile of bubbling, curly hair spills out into the air around them. instead of looking like the white, summer clouds before, it all now looks like stormy grey thunderheads.
his skin has started to grey, too. starting at the hands and feet, stretching inward. the horn, of course, is longer and sharper, but he also has grown in some sharper teeth. he blinks black eyes at mahito, the center pupils and irises silvery and glowing. two smaller wings sit at the side of his head where his ears would be.
the bubble wand lifts, and he blows a stream of bubbles directly at mahito's face.]
We can try it, then! Envy had bubble stuff before, and maybe we can use the soaker tub in the spa...
[Why is he giving this so much actual thought. Any amount of thought would be too much thought. God.
Anyway he's absolutely distracted by this sudden face reveal, because sometimes he forgets npcs do in fact have faces! AND WOW.]
Oh! You're so pretty! Hey, let me see your eyes! They're--
[ALSO VERY PRETTY BUT HE CUTS OFF WHEN HE GETS BUBBLE FACED. Which he actually finds very amusing, except for the part where some bubble juice gets in his mouth when several pop on contact. Then he's just making a sour lemons face and sputtering...]
[ahaha, oh noooooooo!! he laughs a bit, entertained by the true face of disgust. it was just funny to blow some tickling bubbles in mahito's face, not get them in the mouth.
it's fine.]
Let's make giant ones sometime. Big enough to stand in.
[he pauses, glances at the wand, and then just
puts it directly into his mouth to have a taste of the bubbles after mahito's face. lmfao, sorry.]
Yeah, okay. Big enough to stand in, right? Maybe we can blow some in the rec room so we can turn off gravity...
[What would an antigrav bubble look like damn HE'S CURIOUS NOW. He's partially distracted by the nasty taste still in his mouth and partially by this new consideration, so he doesn't notice Sloth about to stick the wholeass bubble wand in his mouth until like 1 second before disaster.]
this didn't exactly go like he expected it to go, honestly. when he pulls the wand out, he's salivating profusely from how bad it tastes that it just ends up blowing a big (wow!) spit bubble (spubble) on his mouth.
he lets out an,] AH! [but it sounds weird in the bubble, and the noise immediately pops it right over his face. he starts spluttering a lot.]
[thank you very weird sewer flea man, from one hellpit living creature to another.]
It's a fish that puffs up really big when it's scared! It has little spines on it. Boy, they prick! They have toxins inside them that taste like [he goes BLECK.]
I don't think I want any more than what I've had, thanks!
[he sticks the wand back out to mahito. you can have it back, sir!]

"Blowing bubbles"...?

For now, he lets go of Sloth's hand (carefully) and waits until he touches back down on solid ground so he can uncap his BUBBLES.]
Yeah! Like this!

He will also helpfully reach out to try wiping some nasty bubble spit off his face if he isn't floating too far away to do that. Gross.]
Haha! Wow, that one was pretty impressive! How's the flavor? Are you a fan?
no subject
[he's only floating an inch or so off the ground, so even though he's, like, six foot, mahito can reach.]
Ack! [he sputters a bit again, making a face, tongue out.] It's definitely not ambrosia! Wow! It tastes worse than scuffer toxin!
no subject
I don't know what that is! But see what I mean? Isn't it so bitter? And if you drink too much of it, it makes you really sick!
[Important bubble facts with Mahito.]

Oh! Like fugu! Some people still eat the flesh of those, though. And the spines can kill you, haha.
[DON'T HAHA ABOUT IT. But he'll take the... wand back... with its Sloth slobber.]
Pretty fun as long as you're not tasting it, yeah? And now you know for next time! --Oh, don't get it in your eyes, either.
no subject
Wow! Bubbles are so dangerous! I can't believe I would have to definitely check off people on the list having died from consuming the bubble juice!
How can they be so wonderful, yet so deadly! Exactly like everything else that can usually kill you, huh!
