#she calls it 'baobei' (meaning baby) as a joke and after that the Creature does not respond to anything else

[journey-to-the-attic]

THE ELDRITCH HORROR AND IK BFFS THING IS SO SWEET. if the eldritch creature and ik managed to stay together it would be great. everyone else is scared but theyre inseparable now. ik gives it a little bow and it wears it so its a horrifying creature with a little bow on it's head.

AW THAT'S SO CUTE

the exchange students leave the rad and the purgatrio can only watch in resignation as ik immediately sprints off to greet her bestie who is about the size of the rad's entrance hall. a demon at the school looks out the window of his office on the top floor and sees its tiny bow and just about passes out

#answering asks #anon asks #the Creature doesn't communicate via language so much as intention #as in it doesn't comprehend words but rather the intention behind the words #basically i'm using this to justify what ik ends up naming it #since Creature will understand her even if she pronounces things wrong #ik talks to it in chinese to practise (she can speak it but only basic household convo type stuff) #she calls it 'baobei' (meaning baby) as a joke and after that the Creature does not respond to anything else #so then: #belphie (yelling): 'IK TELL YOUR FRIEND TO PUT YOU DOWN IT'S TIME FOR DINNER' #ik (yelling back from high up in Creature's loving eldritch embrace): 'TELL THEM YOURSELF' #belphie: 'YOU KNOW IT DOESN'T LISTEN TO ME' #ik: 'CALL THEM BY THEIR NAME' #belphie: 'I'M NOT GONNA CALL IT FUCKING BAOBEI'
