what even is this

Comment with a Servant* and I will write an IC Servant-shaming sign for them, as provided by Master. YOU CAN RESPOND OR NOT, but I'll do it.

* Servants do not have to actually be canon as long as we've threaded before/I'm familiar with the canon.

I'm eighteen. I don't even call my actual dad "Papa." Don't you think it's weird when a guy I barely know asks me to use that?

[fiftyish]

Eighteen-year-olds still have Papas. [Fran calls me Papa!!]

Anyhow, I would say that a stranger applying that thing is truly suspicious and such an individual isn't to be trusted.
But, really, you already knew that about me a the time. And now I'm no longer a stranger!

[fujimaru]

No matter how much we've bonded, you're still a strange old man.

[ She can say that with affection, but jeeze! Moriarty!! Come on. ]

If I call you Papa, that just feels like we're moving into very different territory, you know?

[fiftyish]

That is a fair point. From Fran says it, well, it feels [like the universe aligns and cosmic energy manifests in a way that makes him imagine another universe in which he didn't go down the path of evil and instead found himself a proud parent] natural.

... I now find myself unsure of what I'd experience if you were to say it in sincerity.

[and he hates being unsure of things, unlike mr "i don't need to know the planets" holmes]

[fujimaru]

...

I don't think I could say it in sincerity, though... you're old enough to be my dad, but calling you that is sorta...

[ Weird? Awkward?? Brushing up against a kink that she hasn't really thought about very deeply?! Oh no. ]
