[ Susato puffs her cheeks slightly with a hmpth. ]

Well, you're not a mistake, and this isn't Elmore. This is literally a world of your dreams.

...And I want to help you.

[nulland]

[Rob should really be feeling much more upset right now. But oddly, he just has a small "what are you gonna do about it?" sort of frown. He really wants to be more troubled by this fact, but he just can't bring himself to be so.

So he'll just casually reply.]

Oh, I am a mistake. That was already decided. But...you're right. It's not Elmore. It's not Gumball's "amazing world"...

...Thanks? Don't...really know how to respond to that. I haven't heard it since...right when I became a villain, actually.

[judicialassistant]

[ Somehow, him not knowing how to respond is a boon. The fact that he admits it makes it even more so. Susato will take that as a victory, for now. ]

...Alright. Who is Gumball, and what makes his world so amazing?

Is he the one who decided you are some mistake?

[nulland]

He's the most selfish, egotistical, and annoying talking blue cat in existence.

[Despite the effects of the drink, his anger still comes through. But it's much more toned down.]

I don't know what makes it "amazing", that's just it's called. And somehow the children apparently just looooove him.

The world is what decided I was a mistake, though.

[judicialassistant]

[ A... blue cat that talks? Now that does sound like the stuff of dreams. Or children's TV shows, if those existed in her time. (They didn't.) ]

Children do love cats... [ Trailing off like she's conceding that much, at least. ] We had one named Wagahai back home.

[ Man, she misses that little scamp. ]

...She never spoke, though.

[nulland]

[Not that he liked the topic, but wow that was a quick change. And sorry about this, but the drink has him just saying what he thinks now.]

Honestly the way you seem to just insert yourself into people's problems and insist on helping even if they don't want it reminds me of him. Just that part, though.

[He's pretty sure he won't hate you forever? You never know.]

[judicialassistant]

. . . Thank you, I think.

[ Said rather dryly. Please don't hate her forever. ]

Sometimes you must insert yourself into others' problems to get to the truth, and to find the solution. Though I admit... your problem may take me a bit longer to understand.

[ Normally this would bother her, being "stumped," but hey, that fizzy drink is working on her too. ]

[nulland]

[You'd have to be full Gumball for that, should be pretty safe.]

There's also just asking and leaving people alone outside of that.

I know, it's weird. Just like everything else about me and the place I'm from. [Shrug.] That's just how it is. I'm pretty sure they market Elmore for that on travel ads.
