Nobody sounds real if you describe them with, like, two things about them. I could do that with anyone.

[Including the rest of SEES. How weird is that?]

[homerunning]

Guess you got me there, but...quiz time.



Do it with Ken.

[khajidont]

Mmm...

[Jaime closes his eyes, and holds up one finger, ready to list it off.]

Cute twelve-year old with the vocabulary and personality of a forty-year old, secretly likes cute things and candy, not-so-secretly loves the colour orange.

[homerunning]

Man, it's like you're describing every detail about him!


I'd say you'd forgotten his love of eggs, but we're trying to be minimalist, aren't we?

[khajidont]

Are you kidding me? That was the sparksnotes version!

[Look, buddy, he cannot just say one thing about his son.]

He totally sounds like some character when you put it like that! You know, take a character, make 'em cute, give them a quirk...

[homerunning]

[No one can, Jaime. He's finding out that your son/his bro leads a more complicated life than anything he could've ever cooked up for him.]

You call em quirks, I call them ...what's the word....tropes?

[khajidont]

...what does that mean?

[Teach him, Junpei. Teach him how to be even more meta than before.]

[homerunning]

Tropes? They're like...kinda like stereotypes.


You know, like 'Team dad' or 'ice queen'.

[khajidont]

Oh... so which one are you?

[homerunning]

....Dude, isn't it obvious?


"Comic Relief."

[khajidont]

What? C'mon, it's not like you start spouting off catchphrases all the time, or, like, wear a stupid hat. [He surveys Junpei.] I mean, you wear a hat, but it's not a stupid one.

[These are the parameters for being the comic relief, clearly!]

I think you're only a comic relief compared to the rest of your team. Minato's pretty funny too, though, he's just sneaky about it. And mean.

[homerunning]

[As soon as Jaime starts rattling off that list, his hands go to his face, and then to his hat. Oh my god you're fulfilling his prophecy, Jaime. Stop stop st-]

Wait...you think it's pretty cool?


[He has to think about that for a moment.]


Minato's got the dry humor thing going, I think. It's why girls like him so much. And...guys too apparently.

[khajidont]

Yeah, yeah, everyone thinks he's a heartthrob. It's weird, but eh, whatever works for him. And I dunno if I'd call your hat cool... it's just a baseball cap, right? It's just normal.

[Sorry, Junpei, but he's not going to compliment you just yet! Plus, that cap is about as generic as they come. He wouldn't think twice if he saw Junpei walking down the street back home either.]

[homerunning]

Wow man, I almost wish you called it lame. Nothing worse than being 'normal'!!


And here I thought you could help a bro get recognized!!

[khajidont]

You kidding me? Never complain about the normal part, dude. Normal's great.

[Said by a guy who is, for the record, extremely happy whenever he can be normal, or even when he can pass as normal. He still thinks of himself as normal -- just with a really, really dangerous part-time job, and maybe some unusual companions kicking around in his head.]

You gotta embrace it. C'mon, if you really wanna get recognized, you can be the boy next door. That's totally a thing.

[The boy that you bring home to introduce to your parents... well, Junpei fits that definition better than anyone else in SEES.]
