Uhm, okay?

[...is this about the jam? Or the extra cupcakes he gave out as samples?]

\[Luckily for Rin, this isn't about that. That's for next week.]

Something has been bugging me about you for a while now. I've noticed it every so often since we've known each other so I'd like to ask about it now. Since I know those weird weekends aren't some twisted mass dreams at this point...Why do you have a tail?

[...next week...?!

That's. Uhm. That was the very, very, very last thing he expected to hear. He actually looks behind him to see if it's there now. Maybe he didn't notice since he's so used to having it??? Nope, still no tail. Still completely human.]

We've known each other for how long, and now you ask me? [DUDE, HE THOUGHT HE WAS IN TROUBLE. DAMN.]

I don't know why I have one. ...I never asked. I figured it was a demon thing. But I'm half human too, so go figure.

[Killua, if he didn't know you as long as he has, there would be no easy way to mention this.]

I never got around to bringing it up. The only reason why I remember to now is because of the new marketing poly, that we'll be doing soon.

[This is why, you never assume with this weirdo.]

You really can't blame me for asking, I mean the fire didn't seem to atypical. It's just the random lion like tail seemed odd.

...Wait now that I'm remembering, did you try to hide from those random Espurrs that one time because you didn't want me to find out you are a Magical hybrid?

New marketing ploy? What's that? [He only cooks, Killua, don't talk to him about synergy.

...Oh, but he remembers all that? Rin just barely recalls the Espurrs.]

Dude, it's blue fire. It's not exactly normal. And it's not random, it's mine. It was a long ass time ago, I don't remember. Maybe. It's not like I wanted anyone to know back then.

...I'm not magical!

Marketing poly is a way to reach out to customers, like when places run raffles and crap. We're going to be having a cute contest to bring in the customers.

[Hey he started with something simple, he wasn't going to talk about market shares and the fiscal year.]

Rin, I'm like a living battery, I can shot out electricity and suck it up just as easily. Blue fire is not that odd to me.

You said you were part demon right, I'm pretty sure that counts as magical.

A cute contest? [...there's just one problem with that.] But all of the pokemon are cute.

[That will make his head hurt. Does Killua want to make Rin's head hurt?]

Demons aren't like genies or fairies or anything! Those things are the magical ones!

We aren't judging Pokemon or people for being just cute. We're judging them based on a cute theme they'll be trying to do.

...I guess those would count as magical beasts, but that's not really why I called you magical.

Oh. Okay, that sounds cool. [cute theme something poly whatever something -- hey wait] What does me having a tail have to do with a cute theme?

...And why am I magical? [IT MAKES NO SENSE.]

Apparently wearing cat ears and putting on a tail is cute? Which reminded me that you had one.

[He shrugs.]

Magical beasts are creatures that display unusual or supernatural abilities, but are also not humans. At least in my world. That is the simplest way to explain it.

You want us to wear fake ears and a tail.

[ . . . he can't being to describe how odd that sounds to him. HE HAS A TAIL ALREADY??? WHY WOULD HE WEAR A FAKE ONE??? He would much rather just have his tail back, gosh.]

Oh. ...Okay, I get it. Since you have electricity, wouldn't that make you magical too?

Yeah, though you can pick what you want. If you don't want cat stuff, there are always bunnies.

[It's just for the contest so it's not really too bad in his mind.]

...I guess so, the electricity thing comes from how I harness and transform my life energy or aura. Anyone can technically learn how to their harness their aura in different ways back home, if taught. So I guess if you learn to use nen you could be considered a magical human.

Though on the human side of things, I'm pretty sure my family might have something weird in our genetics. That has little to do with using nen.

Do we all have to enter? [Unless this is part of the job requirement...]

Nen sounds confusing. [BUT HE GETS THE GIST] ...So, basically, you're a human pikachu.

Yep. [There is no getting out of this one.]

It's hard to explain without being able to show you.If you could use nen it would probably be something completely different then what I can do. But yeah, I'm like a human pikachu.

[Which is ironic since he never got himself one.]

[. . . he'll let this sink in later. no use thinking about potentially wearing a fake tail. when. he has a tail.] Alright, when's the contest?

I guess that would be like explaining how my flames only burn what I want it to burn.

It will start next week, I just need to ask around for some themes.

It would, if it's your life force is being turned into flames. So you would have a grasp of one of the basics.

Besides cute?

[It's been a while since he last spoke about his flames. Or anything concerning his powers.]

It's - not really my life force, I think. That sounds like I'd get tired of using it real quick. They're... me.

The themes have to do with cuteness, otherwise things become to generalized. [Just saying send us cute things isn't too productive.]

...Hmmm if it's as you describe, it might be part of your life force or soul that just leaking out without you thinking about it.

So just be cute but with a theme. Like candy or something. Got it.

Uhhh... I guess? [He'd mention the whole SWORD = DEMON HEART thing but he's still trying to process that information]

A candy theme would work consider what we sell.

Next time I see you I'll try to explain a bit better about nen. If Gon can get it, you should able too.

[He pauses looking at his gear]

Wait a second someone sent me a text.

[It takes a minute for him to get back.]

I nearly forgot, there was something specific we had to do for contest. Rise just remind me about it.

[He was just about to ask who this "Gon" person was when Killua interrupted him about some text. Rin would roll his eyes but it takes that minute to think about what kind of candy would be good. Maybe lollipops? He'd have to ask Botan how to make those... Ice pops would be much easier.

But the mention of "specifics" brings him back to the conversation.]

Specific? Like what?

All employees are going to wear cute dresses for one of the themes, so you don't have to worry about the fake tail anymore.

[That's what you wanted right, Rin?]

[NOT QUITE...]

All employees gotta what?

Wear a dress and take a picture in it, it's super easy.

[The easiest thing to do.]

Pi-Pictures? . . . Why?!

[WROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH]
