[Dulcie's living room is unusually full of baby things today. Nathan isn't exactly an unusual feature, but Stephen Stills' cat probably is. Little Neil is held up to the camera in a more than slightly ridiculous Christmas outfit. Nathan has claw marks across his face, but that doesn't seem to have any impact on his mood. He looks tearfully proud of the unhappy cat in his arms. For once it looks like it might even be genuine.]

Isn't he the cutest? I think he's got your eyes. And your smile.

[The cat is... definitely not smiling. He's pretty confined in his current position, but that doesn't stop him grumbling warningly. Nathan doesn't even notice, leaning forward to kiss Dulcie, who's giggling from the other end of the camera. Nathan's obscuring the view at this point, but an angry hiss can be heard as Neil struggles free, and the camera refocuses on him stumbling his way over to the other side of the room. Stupid elf shoes.

After watching Neil find a suitable hiding place, Nathan turns back to beam at the camera.] He's coming along so fast. I can't believe how well he's crawling already.

[ooc: Both Nathan and Dulcie are affected by it's a Boat, it's a Bug, it's Ours. Dulcie and Little Neil godmodded lovingly with Marion's permission.]

I think you'll find that's P-U-S-S-Y. Pussy.

This is a baby. You should be nicer to him.

If that's your baby, you shouldn't be saying such shit in front of him.

Fine, what's his name?

video;

[designedtoparty]

Why? It's not like he can understand me.

Neil. I told you already.

[awkwards]

He's a c - He can understand you, you twat. How do you think babies learn how to say 'mum' and 'dad' and all that shit?

Just checking to make sure this isn't one of your bullshit stories.

[designedtoparty]

He's not saying anything yet. It's fine.

Bullshit? Is that any way to talk about your only godson?

[awkwards]

He's a cat. Cats don't -

What?

video;

[designedtoparty]

He's not a cat. He's some sort of human-angel hybrid.

[awkwards]

What was the other thing you said? About me?

video;

[designedtoparty]

I don't think I said anything about you. Did I?

video;

[awkwards]

Yeah, you did. In relation to your ca - Child.

You said I was his godmother. You for real?

video;

[designedtoparty]

Well, yeah. Who else am I going to trust with him?

video;

[awkwards]

You trust me?

[ Give her a moment, please. ]

This still doesn't make us friends.

[ She just had to throw that in because oh my lord it is a lie! ]

[designedtoparty]

Sure it doesn't.

[You're such a liar, Alisha. It's lucky he loves you.]

[awkwards]

When people are friends, they usually like each other. Do you like me?

[designedtoparty]

...yes. Why would you think I don't like you?

[Why are they even having this conversation?]

[awkwards]

Maybe because you're always such a prick to me?

[ Blame Barry. ]

[designedtoparty]

Am I?

[He sounds genuinely surprised.]

[awkwards]

[ She's a bit taken aback. ]

Well, yeah. You do all that stupid shit and make fun of my power. I never really thought you liked me.
