[The gear comes up and is aimed at an imposing figure in black armor who says nothing, merely tilts its (her) head and crosses its (her) arms.]

I fucking told you I was gonna. See, this is what you get when you do the childish cold shoulder not talking thing. I get childish right back and show everyone what a baby you're being.

[The figure doesn't move. And Church's voice gets unsettled.]

Look, haha, I get that you're mad at me for whatever, but the least you could do is threaten to punch me for that. No? Nothing? Just follow me around like a--

[He turns the gear back on himself and turns around, continues walking wherever in Goldenrod he's going. Over his shoulder, the black-clad soldier dutifully follows.] Do you see what I have to deal with? She's even worse when she decides to start talking, but the whole silent treatment thing sucks. You guys agree she's being a bitch, right? Oh, sure, don't say hi to your ex, just loom creepily. Two can totally play at this game.

[It's not been the most fun time at the Fratlancer house. Gross enough that the trio decided to get all publicly engaged/married to one another. Sure gonna have to spend more time at Tucker's until the schmoop dies down. The Japanese-in-all-but-name festivals didn't appeal to him, because he's not Japanese, and he doesn't want to put on a kimono or whatever, and he doesn't want to fuck with ghosts. Other than Slimer, who was honestly just as content to stay at home with his trainer.

And then Tex showed up.

He can't even say when she did. It seemed like he turned a corner and she was just there like she was waiting for him. He went back around the corner, waited a minute not in complete terror, and then came around again, with her still standing there. Okay. So. Okay. That's a thing that's happening now. He'd tried a few awkward hi's, got nothing in return, which, okay, that's fair, honestly. Any attempt to talk, not at all about the serious things regarding, uh, dying, and giving oneself up for the greater good, and finding out that neither of them were ever really real, just fucked up reflections of other people--just about hey, do you have a poke-partner, what's up with these fucked up critters, bet you like the battling, hey some of your not-friends are here--

Nothing. Just unnerving staring from behind her helmet. Not even bothering to take it off (and...and she has to have a body now, right? he has a body now, and he didn't get to have his armor), can't read her face without there being a face. He's not sure what he'd expect, anyway. He lets her have the silent treatment for a while, which would be better if she wasn't following him around. It's very frustrating.

So, at least for the first day, he's decided to resolutely ignore her. Throw the silent treatment right back at her. But god it's hard. There's so much that could be said, and he doesn't know where to start or what to say.

Selfishly, he hopes she doesn't go away.]

[...Ah. Hm.

Well, if North hadn't already been 100% sure that the imposing, helmet-less figure in orchid and bright lime-green armor following him around wasn't actually his sister, the fact that she didn't immediately pull a minigun out of her ass at the sight of Tex was the last bit of proof he needed.

He seems profoundly unbothered by the presence of the ghosts, sipping his coffee and watching South size up Tex with disinterest, the ghost of his twin sister never straying more than an arm's length away from him.]

Morning, Church. Coffee?

[...What the shit. He'd never seen her face, of course, but that armor's pretty unforgettable. (Seriously, who puts purple and green together? Was the Director blind? That would explain so much.) While North seems extremely uncaring about the armored figures, Church sits up straighter, then pushes away from the table and hops to his feet. He doesn't have armor! He's much easier to kill! (Was it ever hard? Ba-dum-tss.)

South however doesn't give a single fuck and just follows North to the counter. Church has to swallow his heart back down into his chest and finally settle back down. Tex had tensed up at his abrupt motion but settles, also, back down.]

Christ. Y'know, for a purgatory or an afterlife, this is a pretty nice version. A lot less hellfire than a lot of people were expecting.

Um. Coffee. Yeah. Sure. Tex, you want--oh right nevermind. [He huffs and leans on his elbows, hooking a thumb over his shoulder at her.] Silent treatment. Is, uh. She. giving you the same...?

[North is honestly more curious about Church's reaction to seeing South than he is about the ghost herself.

For the moment, he doesn't break the illusion. He knows to tread lightly with the Alpha, has to make sure that he has some inkling it's not the real Tex before he drops a bomb shell.]

Mmhm. It's the quietest she's ever been in our whole lives.

[By now he's learned how Church takes his coffee, so he slides the mug over with his left hand, the one bearing the now-ever present ring.]

[Gross wedding bliss feelings. Stop being casually gross with your casual rings.] That so? I didn't know the bitch much before she-- Oh. Oh. That's--wow, North and South. You're siblings. You look kind of alike. Holy shit. That's fucked up. Thaaaat's fucked up.

[He draws the mug up and continues to squint at South, then at North, and that is uncanny.] Did I mention that's fucked up?

[Same blue eyes, same blond hair (except for the purple tips on South's, obviously). Same nose, same cheekbones. She's even almost the same height as him. Or, well, Pretty Damn Tall, anyway.]

...We're twins, actually. Hence the themed code names.

[He sounds half-amused, and surprisingly unoffended by the offhanded 'bitch' remark. Either he's learning to speak Church or he's honestly used to hearing his sister called that.]

What's so fucked up about it?
