1) [Announcement]

[There's something coming on everyone's screens. Oh look its Mad, looking drunk - oh dear he fell over with a thump before crawling back up into view.]

Hey... everyone... I'm guessing you all know who the hell I am... bet I caused a lot headaches and shit and ticked off a lot of people...

[Mad takes a deep breath and...belches, quickly rubbing his mouth.]

But what I gotta say is really important... the truth is... I'm a girl... I made a promise when I was a kid and... honestly that shit hasn't worked out for me at all... so.. fuck it. I'm just done with it. I figured you guys should know...

[SHE turns around but holds up a hand drunkenly.]

Now that thas over... I got something to say to Doc 'yame and Marxhene... KISS MAH ASS!!! Can't blackmail me anymore CAN YA?!

[With that she promptly moons the screen and.. well.. lets just say you can all definitely tell she IS a girl. There's a loud thump as Mad falls over and the feed shuts off.]

2) [Action]

[Mad groans in pain as the hangover sets in... she's now wandering around the halls of the chalice scratching her rear and rubbing her face.]

Fuuuuck....my heeeead...

[Confront her about her announcement?]

[Pit seems a bit dizzy, but still, he looks at Mad, concerned]

So, uh, Mad... are you okay?

No... I'm not... but I'll get better.. I guess...

[Like pulling a band aid - it'll hurt for a short while before it gets better.]

Don't worry too much about it angelcakes.

Well, if you say so. I AM going to worry, though. [Not very convinced, though]

Still, why did you lie about that? [He clearly has no idea of why. Gender prejudice is so far from Pit's mind it'd need a hyperspace drive to reach him]

...Cause I made a promise featherbrain...

[Another tap to Pit's head.]

I promised that I'd be a hero like my dad. He was a man... I was a little girl who couldn't do anything right.. just like the women in the stories he told me.

So I figured.... why don't I try to be a man?

That's... pretty dumb.
Now, Pit. Prejudice of that sort is sadly all too common among humans.
But it makes no sense! I'm not even talking about the stories - though that too! But you've been fighting every bit as much as everyone else - while being a girl! Isn't that proof enough? A hero is about what's in your heart, not about... what pronoun you use!

I-....

[Mad honestly tried to come up with something to throw back.. but she honestly couldn't...]

Maybe it is... but I didn't know that before...

I guess that makes sense. I've done a lot of dumb things too, and I'd hate to break a promise.
If a promise is hurting more than it's helping it can be time to let go, though. Or think on why the promise was made.
That's true. [He looks back at Mad, patting her in the back friendily] So, I know you probably don't have the energy to do a lot now, but, how about breakfast? There were a lot of leftovers from that banquet yesterday, including icecream!
He means he took away and saved most of what was left over.
Well, the Chalice's kitchenpeople wanted to toss it all away! How can you even think of tossing away so much food without guilt? That Tsukasa man is evil!
Well, if nothing else, I bet that Resnick man would have approved that reasoning, and the food was from his people.
See? [He takes Mad's hand and tugs a bit] Come on, you look like you really could use something to eat and a bit of water. And don't worry, if anyone tries to give you a hard time on having fooled them while you're still too tired to get them, I'll just give them one of my super secret angelic suplexes!

[And she might notice how there is absolutely no change in how Pit treats Mad. Man, woman, who cares - she's a friend.]

[Mad smiles a little... food sounds good. Pit's chipper attitude helps as well. He'd find the blonde ruffling his hair with a chuckle.]

Sure you won't hurt yourself trying? Those arms of yours look kinda scrawny.

[She's just teasing though.]

Come on... I need to see if that ice cream has any cherries in it.

[TO THE KITCHEN!]

Hah! Most people would kill for muscles like these! [Pit jokes back, boastfully flexing his apparently scrawny arms - of course, he's also being perfectly truthful, because Pit can put a fist through a steel wall, but people tend to not believe that until they see it.]
Be careful, though. We don't want to really hurt anyone.
Absolutely, Lady Palutena! [A salute to his goddess, and then he turns] C'mon, Mad, let's go!

[And so Pit guides her to where he'd put all the stuff he could save from yesterday. That's a lot of tupperwares. He opens the freezer and starts checking the remaining icecream.]
Let's see, cherries, cherries... aw, looks like there aren't any with cherries left.
Are you sure, Pit?
Yeah, afraid so.
Let Madeleine check, will you?
Madeleine? Oh, right! Is that your real name? [He moves to let her check, though. And when she does... yes, there's cherries right there. How did Pit not see them?]

[Mad looks at the ice-cream then at Pit... Pit - she flicks your forehead once. and then AGAIN.]

First one was for missing the Ice-cream. Second one was for calling me Madeleine.... just sounds weird hearing people say that.

[After going by Mad for so long...Madeleine was just weird...]

[This time, however, he dodges, flicking his tongue out playfully. He's then surprised at seeing those, though]

Hey, where did those come from?! They weren't there when I looked just- wait a moment. Lady Palutena, did you put those there when I turned?
I thought she deserved a little treat after today.
Hmph. [Pit grumbles a bit. He clearly can't argue with that, but obviously would have preferred it if Palutena had made those three seconds before]

[To the second bit, it's Palutena who pipes up, though]Really? I think Madeleine is a beautiful name.

Edited 2012-08-27 16:56 (UTC)

[Mad makes a mock threatening gesture at Pit.]

Oh you'll get it someday feathers...

[Once Palutena tossed in her two cents Mad blushes and mumbles softly - trying to distract herself with the ice cream]

Its.. I haven't. Even. Been called that for years...

[a light shuffle]

Feels awkward..

Perhaps, but it won't be you that does! [Pit shoots a mock challenge back before getting some of yesterday's pasta and starts digging in. He then points at her with his fork]
Well, you have to get used to it again anyway, don't you? Now that everyone knows?
Pit has a good point. Can't go around with your own name sounding awkward.
Well, unless you name is like, Joe Buttbottom or something. There's no real way to have that sound not awkward.
Thankfuly, that's not the case, and instead you have a beautiful name. So we're going to be calling you that until you get used back to it. No protests.

... Fine... but I won't like it...

[Mad mutters softly and looks away. Some red dusting her cheeks.]

Really? You don't sound all that annoyed by it... [Naive Pit is not aware of tsundere]

[Mad just shakes her head.]

Just... nevermind ...

[For now she concentrates on the ice cream. It was a very welcome and delicious distraction from everything indeed.]
