[parasite............]

parappa?

[passio]

”Pa” for “pa”rasite?

[ just so dextera makes sure he gets the reference. ]

[starrypoint]

yup!!!
parapara is a kind of like, pattery sorta noise, and thats the kind of sound your pet looks like it makes too
when it clacks on tile
paraparaparapara

video (sorry) then back to text!

[passio]

[ dextera doesn’t immediately respond, and when he does, it’s not in text. welcome to an unannounced video of the horrible creature in action, subaru!

in the video, dextera has his sleeve rolled up, and the parasite is sitting on his arm comfortably without an apparent care in the world. it doesn’t know that there’s a video camera on it, and also doesn’t know what a camera is. the video is completely silent, but the parasite has a little bounce to it as it just wiggles on dextera’s arm. every now and then, its “tail” lashes, and are those… wings? the wings flutter.

dextera moves his arm a little, and the parasite jumps off to sit on a nearby table: and the point of the video becomes clear, because there’s a soft clack where its feet land. it’s like a horror movie, honestly. dextera cuts the video. ]

It does patter.

oh............................

[starrypoint]

[That video was

a lot to unpack. Seeing a picture is one thing, seeing it in action is another, but Subaru already said they could come so they can come. Besides! The wings are cool! And it does patter. So Parappa is fine.]

wooooooooooooow
parappa is one unique pet!
can it fly?

[Say no.]

i wish the videos could be extremely lo fi

[passio]

I think so. It can definitely swim.

[ it’s not that dextera has intentionally taken a bath with his parasite, but sometimes it just slips into the water because he loves courting death. ]

me too. i want it to be a cryptid.

[starrypoint]

[So... No one is safe. Not on land, not in the air, not even in the sea.]

is the beach too much for it?

[passio]

[ no one was safe from the moment dextera brought parappa in as a teeny tiny little worm in his pocket. ]

I think the ocean would be dangerous, but I bet it would like to be in the sand. It’s used to dark places, since I usually keep it under my clothes.

[starrypoint]

doesnt that feel weird
bc of its little claw things

[passio]

It’s kind of nice.

[starrypoint]

huh
i kinda wanna try it too then
if the gatherings popular enough ill host it at the beach and we can have some fun!!!

[passio]

[ just make sure parappa doesn’t schlorp right into you, subaru ]

That sounds like a lot of fun.

It’s nice of you to try to organize something like this. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a dog.

[starrypoint]

what kinda sad life have you lived that youve never seen a dog????????
do you wanna see daikichi?

[passio]

[ you don’t know the half of it ]

Yes. I do.

[starrypoint]

[Poor guy...........

Subaru'll send lots of pictures of his dog, including some he took off his regrettably dying phone... Like this one.]

thats the latest one besides the pics ive taken here
he was helping out w/halloween!!

[passio]

[ the last picture is very cute, but it raises a concerning point. ]

Does he like wearing clothes?

[starrypoint]

loves it
just stuff like that tho, he isnt a suit kinda dog
and its only for special occasions too
hes usually naked as the day he was born, collarless and free..☆
back home, a good friend of mine would make stuff like that for him
but i guess i gotta buy it now huh
have u tried dressing parappa up?

[passio]

[ collarless and free… ]

I don’t think anything comes in its size. Hold on.

[ that “hold on” could honest-to-god mean anything, but when dextera “returns,” it’s in the form of a picture of parappa with a piece of tissue paper tied around its tail. très chic! ]

[starrypoint]

[ah

that's kinda]

thats pretty cute!!!!
does parappa like it too?

[passio]

I don’t know if it “likes” things, but it’s not trying to take it off, so I think it doesn’t hurt.

[starrypoint]

good enough ミ☆
try a ribbon or s/t if you have one?
i think thatd be pretty dandy

[passio]

[ there’s another long pause, and then…

wow… ]

[starrypoint]

[w... ow................ wow.]

looking good!!!!!!
parappa's a pretty chic pet like that ミ☆
u could even enter it into a beauty pageant and itd place, i bet!!!

[Like, as an honorary participant.]

as long as it doesnt mind the ribbon too much, u can probably try all kinds of different things
something to rly bring out the natural cuteness of ur pal

[Hm.......................................]

[passio]

[ dextera regards his parasite—“parappa”—more properly upon reading subaru’s effusive praise. he’s not sure that parappa could win any competitions at all. ]

I know it’s not very “cute.” Honestly, I was horrified the first time I saw something like it. But you’ve been really kind about it, all this time.

[starrypoint]

[HE'S A KIND PERSON......... YOU DON'T JUST CALL SOMEONE'S PET, EVEN A PARASITE, UGLY...........]

well, it is pretty terrifying!
like s/t out of a horror game!
the sort of thing thatd latch onto ur face and eat ur brain!
but i think that anything and anyone should be loved u know?
even if theyre a parasite like parappa
its lonely being unloved
probably! haha
