OH MY GOD IS THIS REALLY HAPPENING?! IE: Tat!Plot part 1

[justanimitator]

[It's been several days since the VDR returned to normal post the Madness Event, and Len has been spending those days at the Trick and Treat Twins' mansion. Len's been pretty quiet the entire time, not even making an attempt to leave. He's barely gone outside even, and when he does it's just to charge.

That's what he's doing right now, in fact. Just sitting by the front door and staring down at the grass as he tries to get a few more percents onto his battery]

((OOC: Backdated to shortly after the event, and pre him meeting Lily]

[justanimitator]

Thank y-- you.

[Len's not sure if even banana bread would cheer him up, or if he deserves such a treat-- but it'd be rude to say 'no', right?]

[treatandtrick.livejournal.com]

Of course! You're family now.

[Yes, very rude.]

So did you want to come in for some, or should I bring you a few slices out here?

[justanimitator]

F-- family...

[it's still so wonderful, guilt-inducing, and confusing to hear that word. to have a family after he wanted one for so long]

It's up to... to you, Rin-san.

[treatandtrick.livejournal.com]

[The guilt-inducing bit is mostly what she's after, unfortunately.]

I'll bring you some, you should finish charging before you come inside. [Rin releases Len's arm to stand, patting him on the head before she turns to head back to the kitchen.]

Be right back~!

[justanimitator]

[T_T]

My battery i-- is very low.

[due to him moping inside far too much, and after he allowed himself to completely run out in the Asylum to boot!]

[treatandtrick.livejournal.com]

[Well she might have suggested he go outside sooner but seeing him mope just made her feel so accomplished she couldn't bring herself to put a stop to it. But her plans couldn't wait forever, now could they?

Eventually Rin returns with two plates upon which sat three slices of banana bread(she used actual bananas in it, too, not just that other Rinless Len they found) each, accompanied by forks. She returns to her seat next to Len and holds out one of the plates for him to take.]

Here we are! I thought I would come eat my slices with you.

1/2

[justanimitator]

[dang it, Rin, stop feeding him peopllllllle!]

Oh! That is, um, very nice of you, Rin-san! It's better to... to eat with someone else.

[justanimitator]

[...like Rin, when they had tea]

1/2

[treatandtrick.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, definitely! I try never to eat alone.
[Not that it's difficult when your dinner guests usually are dinner.]

[treatandtrick.livejournal.com]

Oh, but, you look sad again, Len. What's wrong? [As if she didn't know.]

[justanimitator]

I-- I just thought of someone...

[treatandtrick.livejournal.com]

Was it a Rin?

[justanimitator]

Y-- yes.

She's very smart and wonderful and nice. We have... have tea a lot.

[treatandtrick.livejournal.com]

[Ah, that one.]

You do?

And her Len doesn't mind?

[justanimitator]

...

I...

I d-- don't know...


[probably, he thinks. if Rin-chan's father was upset by him being close to his Rin, Len-san might too]

[treatandtrick.livejournal.com]

Then he might be bothered but too kind to say anything about it. [She says, almost as if it's a fact, then takes a bite of banana bread.]

[justanimitator]

[it might as well be fact to Len-- it's not like he hadn't worried about this subject since way before the Servant of Evil even came to the Dressing Room]

H-- he is very kind. And... and polite...

[treatandtrick.livejournal.com]

Mmhmm. The best Lens usually are.
You know, the good ones. Right?

[justanimitator]

G-- 'good'...

I want to... to be good too...

[treatandtrick.livejournal.com]

Then you'll just have to work extra hard for me, right?

Then you might be a good Len too~

[justanimitator]

I-- I will! Very very hard, Rin-san!

So... so I can also be...

[treatandtrick.livejournal.com]

...A good Len?

[justanimitator]

A... a very good Len.

/3

[treatandtrick.livejournal.com]

That's a boy, I'm sure you'll do just fine if you try hard enough!

[treatandtrick.livejournal.com]

[Rin's eyes narrow and their color turns to a cloudy pumpkin orange, her usual 'cheerful' smile looking far more sinister than Imi was used to seeing it.]
And do as you're told to do.

[treatandtrick.livejournal.com]

[But just like that her eyes are back to the usual blue, and she's back to being a 'caring big sister'.] Anyway, you haven't even touched your banana bread! Aren't you hungry by now?

[justanimitator]

[w-- what was that? that was kind of... scary?]

I... I...

[treatandtrick.livejournal.com]

[Rin proceeds to take a bite of her banana bread before noticing that Len seems a bit bothered. She tilts her head, as if she were curious.]

Is something the matter, Len?

[justanimitator]

[he couldn't have really seen that-- Rin-san is wonderful!]

I-- I think I am not feeling well, Rin-san. I just had an... an error.

[treatandtrick.livejournal.com]

Ah, really, an error? Maybe you should take a nap!

I know I always feel better after a nap.

[justanimitator]

I w-- will. Thank you...

[Rin-san is so smart... smart and nice. it was bad that he thought she looked scary for a moment]

[treatandtrick.livejournal.com]

Of course! [Rin will just sit here innocently, and watch Len head back inside. Then she will simply continue to eat her banana bread.]

[oideoide.livejournal.com]

[On one Len's way inside, he may or may not have spotted the other Len leaning against the wall by the doorway. If there was no acknowledgment, then all the better for him. If there was...

Well. He highly doubted Rin wasn't aware of his presence the entire time.]

[treatandtrick.livejournal.com]

I wonder how long he can stay entertaining?

[oideoide.livejournal.com]

He's certainly lasting much longer than the others.

[treatandtrick.livejournal.com]

Well he's just so naive...it's kind of cute, really!

[oideoide.livejournal.com]

Mm. It almost seems a little too easy.

[treatandtrick.livejournal.com]

It's rather nice having him obey completely, though, don't you think?

Even in that quaint little asylum, he did exactly as I wanted him too.

Indeed he did.

[treatandtrick.livejournal.com]

[She senses your apologies and it pleases her.
Not that it shows right now.]

He even found Rini and brought her to me.

[oideoide.livejournal.com]

Did he?

[treatandtrick.livejournal.com]

Mmm hmmmmmmmmmm, he did.

I believe you were otherwise occupied at the time.
