genessia | [Video ] An important announcement

[Cassian and Kay's house is often lively and, while Kay is trying to keep what is happening behind him mostly out of frame, Cassian and some pokemon can be spotted.]

Does anybody know a good blacksmith that can weld my wedding ring into place? [Kay raises his left hand and sure enough, there's a white gold ring around his finger.] It keeps falling off because my frame's too smooth and I don't want to lose it by accident.

[Any attempts at seriousness are ruined when there's a yelp, a shout of] Galantea! Get back here right now! [and then there's a Sylveon wearing a tiny tuxedo throwing herself at Kay smugly crowing Sylveon! Sylveon! Cassian appears a moment later, plucking her from Kay’s shoulder. If you look closely, you can see a matching wedding ring on Cassian’s hand, worn along with the gunmetal-grey ring made of Kay’s frame he’s been wearing since Christmas.]

That’s it, you’ve been wearing this tux since the wedding. Enough now. [For his troubles, he gets his cheek licked– slowly and slobbery and with great relish. He finally notices the phone in Kay’s hand.] If you’re going to announce it, you might as well tell them we’ll be unavailable for our honeymoon.

I don't have the patience to listen to a bunch of sick and injured bitchbabies whine. Half those people are hypochondriacs who are overreacting, anyway.

[As for the lifeguard suggestion, well... He doesn't do great with water.]

Fair enough.

[There is a certain amount of patience the job requires that he just doesn't have, and it's good that he has that amount of self-awareness about it.]

What about lifeguarding?

[He seems to tense up and scowls, looking to the side.]

I only swim free.

Oh.

[She's not sure what his issue with that is, but it's not like she's invested enough to try to push him toward it. She's just trying to offer suggestions that might help him upgrade his skills and have a better shot of becoming Guardian next time.]

Maybe take a first aid course once you've got some spare cash, then. Have you considered getting a job as a security guard somewhere?

[Aka with his quirk. He doesn't really swim.]

Are you fucking kidding me?! Being a security guard would be a step down from my pay grade! [And probably boring as hell. He doesn't argue with her first aid suggestion, however.]

I saw some security jobs that pay pretty well. Unless you mean like...combat skill pay grade. In which case, keep in mind that this is a suggestion for a job to pay your bills with just until the next election.

I make three stars. [Which while one less than Aizawa, ensures that he's not only not a burden, but able to contribute pretty decently.] I refuse to take financial advice from someone who looks like she uses all her expenses up at the closest shitty boutique.

The security jobs I saw were three star jobs...and I only use most of my spare cash on clothes.

[Well, she does now and learned how to budget at Balamb Garden when she didn't have her rich family to hand her money. Previously, she went a little crazy on her purchases.]

Where are you working?

Sounds boring. I don't care.

[Sorry, he's a little shit.]

Attleton Skate Park, as a rock climbing instructor.

Oh, that sounds fun. Is rock climbing something you enjoy doing?

Why else would I teach it!!!

[How did this happen.]

Not everyone is lucky enough to get a job doing something they like.

[She can't help but be mildly entertained, though. Even when they're talking about something he likes, he's a bit of a grump.]

Do you mind giving me an opinion on something? I promise it's not clothes or anything like that.

People who use luck as an excuse for failure are half-assed idiots.

[He sneers a little in impatience. Gotta keep that tough front going on and on and on and]

Spit it out.

You really expect the best of yourself and others, don't you?

[Yup, that's definitely a familiar kind of pride and grumpiness.]

It's a weird...timeline issue. I have two years of memories of being at a military school that was in another universe than my home universe, kind of like how people here are from different worlds. But all the physical changes I went through are gone, like my body got rewound back in time. Except for the muscle memory from the combat techniques I learned there.

I don't know if that makes me fifteen years old or seventeen and it's bugging me.

I don't waste time with people who don't give their all.

[That has him frowning. It's more of a thoughtful frown, but there's also a sense of What The Fuck are you describing.]

You're mentally 17. Or you can settle for 16. Experience and memories are more important. Are you sure you're not just fucking crazy?

[It's okay, What The Fuck is an accurate description of her experiences waking up here and having that in her memories.]

16 sounds like a good compromise. I worried about being crazy, but two of my friends from that school are here now and they remember me even though we're from different worlds. Like I said, it's weird.

[So they're the same age (sort of).]

This isn't the first time you've been pulled from your world? [THIS IS SOME GOOD INFORMATION TO KEEP IN MIND...]

[Plus or minus one year, depending on how you interpret things. Sixteen is a good middle ground.]

Nope. And those two friends of mine were in another place in between our school and arriving here. So that's at least three multiversal nexus points. From a scientific perspective, that's amazing. From a "I just want to live my life in my own world" perspective, it sucks.

Blow it up.

[It seems like the most rational solution to this Fucking Irrational Problem.]

[That is a terrible idea on so many levels.]

The only problem with that is that there are plenty of people where this is their home...and there's also people who come from crappy circumstances back home who get to have a chance at a better life here. I wouldn't want to screw things up for them.

...now, if you wanted to find the people responsible for making this place take people from their worlds at random and threaten to blow them up if they don't send home everyone who wants to be home? I'd be down for that. I'll even threaten to throw a car at them.
