[Video]

Early this morning, a video might interrupt whatever you're doing. On one side of the screen, there's a beautiful lady with light brown hair. On the other, the pinkest pony ever to have walked the multi-verse.

Hey hey HEY, everybody! It's the start of a new month, and we've had a GREAT time on this planet so far, especially with all this yummy real food! Sooo Kitty and I have been planning a pizza party!

Um, right. So, you should come. I guess. [She doesn't know how to do group invites with ponies. What is life?]

We'll be in this HUGE clearing at THESE coordinates, so bring some smiles, your stomach, and maybe a side dish or snacks if you want too! We'll see you there! And Wrath: we've got chimmy cherry chongas~!

We had to use a few substitutes, but it's still pizza, so you know today's priority. Also a good time to check it out if you've never heard of it.

[And with that, the feed ends and coordinates to the clearing show up on the communicators.]


[Action]

[Local vendors have been generous enough to loan the use of their ovens and some long wooden tables for the clearing. Sure enough, there's dozens of pies, plain or topped with meat or vegetables or both. There's also jugs and jugs of fruit juices and lemonade and punch, and an equally bountiful dessert table including apple tarts, cakes, donuts, and yes, chimmy cherry chongas. And the best part is there's not a single gel-based ingredient in sight. Feel free to add something to the bounty or just come in, grab a slice, and enjoy!]

[ Obi-Wan didn't even know they were acquainted. ]

I don't believe I can be credited for all of that.

[pneumo]

Aww, you're a great dad! [ Sascha pats him on the back!! ]

You're nice and smart and you know a lot of important stuff.

[beardstrokes]

Sadly, I need more qualifications before I can be called an adequate parent.

[ And he's still uncomfortable with that word - Anakin finds it easier to use. Obi-Wan does not. ]

[pneumo]

What do you need to be a parent...? [ Are legit qualifications here that he doesn't know about?? ]

[beardstrokes]

Certainly far more knowledge than one would expect. It's never easy.

[pneumo]

Even when he's all grown up?

[beardstrokes]

So are you, technically.

[pneumo]

I'm not all the way mature for a vampire though...

[beardstrokes]

But you are still technically a grown man.

[pneumo]

...Oh. I guess that's true, huh? [ Forall that he professes to like and enjoy them, Sascha has never actually judged himself by their standards in terms o age. But looking at it now he supposes he is a grown man.

That's so weird. ]

[beardstrokes]

To some extent, at least.

[pneumo]

I'll probably never grow a cool beard like yours anyway~

[beardstrokes]

[ He runs a hand through his beard. ]

Unlikely.

[pneumo]

And I'll never get grey hair...or go bald... No wrinkles... No kids either.

I'm pretty much just tall, huh? [ THIS IS KIND OF A LET DOWN. ]

[beardstrokes]

Normally, not having all of those things is considered a blessing. Most people don't enjoy getting old.

As for children, they don't have to be your own.

[pneumo]

No, but... I'm a vampire. [ Rememner that? ] No one really...wants me around kids and stuff.

[ Geowing old though is something he does not terribly miss at the moment. ]

[beardstrokes]

If you really want to, Sascha, then you can. But you still need to work on your self-control.

That's the most important part about being with children. It's not about you.

[pneumo]

I can't help it... It's really exciting to meet people that don't hate me. And hugs are so nice...!

[beardstrokes]

Which is fine. I'm not saying it's wrong.

But I am saying that with children, it's different.

[pneumo]

But kids hug their parents all the time!

[beardstrokes]

Are you anyone's parent at this moment?

[pneumo]

Well....no...

[beardstrokes]

That's what I thought.

With children, the parents must always put them first and themselves last.

[pneumo]

So...I find a kid to keep, I give them hugs before you and stuff?

[beardstrokes]

[ He sighs. ]

Close. But not quite. There's more to it than hugs, you realize.
