Blue── Er, well, Pixel, turns around to the source of the voice. He seemed hesitant at first, shoulders rising up to his ears. He never expected another version of himself to visit him, let alone an adult one. He looked so… Odd. Pixel couldn’t put his finger on it.
As soon as the other greeted Justine though, Pixel felt himself relax more. It seems like this was safe, seeing that the player gave a thumbs up back to Blue.
Pixel listens, thoughts running around, especially when Revvy was mentioned. It’s painful to hear his name uttered from someone else, but he can manage it. It’s rude to make faces at a guest, so Pixel bites his bottom lip to keep his expression neutral.
“So it's… it’s you, right? The um,”
Pixel gestures over to Blue,
“It feels nice that I’m not the only one── I mean! Obviously it’s, it’s not great but, it’s just nice that there’s other people like me, I guess? Or are me? This is weird──Not that you’re weird!”
He nervously chuckles, he can’t help but smile. Taking a step or two closer, the child leans side to side, studying Blue. Super tall, lanky. Pixel wondered if this is what he could have looked like if he were to have grown up someday. Would he have hair like this? Clothes like that?
Would he still have his eye if he didn't…
Ah! A question was directed to him, and he was staring!
“Sorry!”
C'mon, Pix! Be polite! He mumbles, giving out some “um” and “uh” noises as he wiggles his hands,
“It’s um, it’s nice to see you, first of all sir── sir? I um, I dunno what you call you, sorry── but to answer your question,”
He glanced back at the player, who holds the 3DS patiently. Justine blinks and directs her attention to the bottom screen. Oh whoa, Pixel projected a little drawing down there!
“I wanted to delete my game, and Gramps wanted to also. We talked about it before I talked to Justine about it, but… she really didn’t like that idea.
She convinced me that the game doesn’t have to be played normally to… function? I think that’s the word. But um, yeah. We pretty much talked for a while and it turned into a habit where she’d visit me everyday before she went to school.
She showed me some cool stuff from her world, like other games, some TV shows, and movies. I really um, I really like hanging out with her! She helps me sort out my thoughts about… about the stuff that happened in my game.”
Pixel smiles warmly as he explains. While talking, he lightly rocks on his heels,
“I really am lucky to have someone like her. It makes me sad that some other beings like me and you don’t have that kind of a player out there.”
Pixel’s smile alters once he glanced back up to his older self. He gulps, a finger pointing up── no wait, that’s rude too. He pulls it back,
“Please let me know if this is rude to ask but um…
Why are your hands … Blue?”
