[The following is a rather frantic voice transmission]

This marking wasn't here last night. Where did it come from? And what does it mean? Maybe its' symbolic... Or it could be a rune. What if it's runic? It looks like it might be vaguely runic.
Who would fix runic symbols to people without their knowledge? And why?

And why am I wet?

[......Oh. No.

Oh no.

It's not just that Papa had to be one of the first people from their world to come back to Vatheon, especially considering recent events, but how--? How is she going to explain everything that's happened to her in this time?

The short answer is not to. Save it for later. He doesn't remember Vatheon, chances are he's not expecting her to be the way she is now. So...he'll get a grouchy voice reply from his beloved baby girl.]

Great, you had to show up? We don't know what the tattoo symbolizes...it's just there when we come here.

And you're wet because we're under the ocean, idiot.

[keepsthefire]

[Man, that's a lot of babbling. Rin is just going to stare at this transmission for a while before rolling his eyes and letting out a sigh.]

It ain't "runic" or whatever the hell you said. It's the mark of Vatheon. And you're under water. That's why you're wet.

Answer your questions enough?

[daddydeathscythe]

Maka? Did they give you a sinister runic marking too?

Wait! Where are you? I'm...

[There is a long pause, filled with quiet, frantic shuffling noises. ]

In front of a bizarre coral structure. Don't worry! I'll come find you right away!

[heartandsoul]

Papa, stop! Get a towel, find a brochure, touch the coral and calm down.

[A beat. Maka's already rubbing her temples. That's just great, Papa's as emotional and overreactive as ever.]

And I'm in my apartment, I don't want you coming over here at all. Just wait there and I'll come get you, I guess. [Not like she wants to or anything.]

...Rin, this is my dad.

cue the comment spam! 1/idek

[keepsthefire]

Oh, it's your--

2/5? yeah we'll say 5

[keepsthefire]

... [what]

3/5

[keepsthefire]

... what.

4/5

[keepsthefire]

Your dad is--

5/5

[keepsthefire]

Shit--!

P-pretend I didn't say anything!

[heartandsoul]

Oh no, I don't care how to talk to him. He's an idiot.

I just...figured now would be the best time to introduce you guys.

[keepsthefire]

... oh.

Uh. You sure about that? He's kinda spazzin' out really bad already...

[Meaning: is this really the best time to tell him you've got a boyfriend here?]

[heartandsoul]

WELL, he needs to know that I haven't been alone here this whole time and I've been with some good friends!

[Read: No he is not going to learn about that until much much much later.]

[keepsthefire]

... [give him a second. Processing. Processing...]



... right! You've got a lot of good friends to look out for you! Me, all your troll friends... any dad would wanna know his daughter's not alone in some weird place!

[Read: No, I get it, you're right. We can save that for another time. When he's less likely to attempt to murder me.]

[heartandsoul]

Yeah. Don't worry about him, he's an idiot. And a pervert, he'll probably get distracted by some woman here in no time.

[keepsthefire]

Ugh. Seriously? Hard to believe some one like you came from him.

[says a Prince of Hell.]

[daddydeathscythe]

But I'm not a pervert! Or spazzing out! I just want to kn-- Wait a minute! Who are you?

And how do you-- Maka, who is this boy?

[keepsthefire]

Geez... chill out. [totally has a finger in his ear] I'm a friend of hers, okay?

[heartandsoul]

Haven't you been listening? This is Rin, he's my friend.

[daddydeathscythe]

He is?... Where did he come from?

[He pauses contemplatively for a moment] Is he from the ocean?

[heartandsoul]

...You idiot. Don't you get it yet? People from different worlds are all pulled here to Vatheon to be an energy source for the coral.

He's from Japan, not Atlantis!

And stop ignoring him! He's much better company than you'll ever be anyway!

[daddydeathscythe]

I can't 'chill out'! We're trapped underwater!

And you never answered my question. How do you know Maka?

[keepsthefire]

Yeah we're trapped, so what? It's not like freakin' out is gonna do a damn thing about it.

[aaand video! Rin and Maka are, surprise, sitting in the same room! Right next to each other! About thirty seconds before that his tail was around her waist, but like a good boyfriend pretending to not be a boyfriend, he's moved it and it is now behind his head, the fuzzy end curled up.]

She's. My. Friend. See?

[I'm guessing this sort of brings all the threads together]

[daddydeathscythe]

I'M NOT FREAKING OUT. I'm--

[Oh look! A video! But he does not switch to a video transmission. He does not know how the video function works. And he is too busy taking a long, hard look at this 'Rin' fellow to figure it out.]

Yes... but-- That still doesn't answer my question! Why are you avoiding it?... Are you hiding something? What are you hiding?

[Sniffle]

[heartandsoul]

[............And that's when Maka grabs the fluffy end of Rin's tail and pulls it out in front.

Dead center.

It's almost as if a choir of angels should be screaming singing.]

He has a tail, Papa. That's all.
