Calling the Old Man Out
[Goro has barely been seen since getting back from the Fissure, only leaving his room briefly to eat a couple times a day, coffee in hand and looking half asleep. Now, though, he seems to finally be properly awake...at approximately 8PM.]
Good...erm, evening, I suppose. I’m sorry I’ve been so absent lately, that Fissure must have taken more out of me than I thought.
But, now that I’m recovered, there’s something important I need to tell everyone. The last batch of new arrivals included a man named Masayoshi Shido. He’s my father, and a truly despicable man, who has had numerous people killed for his own convenience or benefit. He even had my mother killed to cover up the scandal of my birth.
[Here he holds up a phone, showing a picture of Shido...with what looks like avocado and cheese smeared on his face and a shrimp up his nose, wearing the most tiredly Done expression as he reaches for the offending crustacean.]
I injured him in the forest in retaliation for the things he’s done to me, one of my boyfriends, and countless others, but don’t mistake him for someone who deserves your pity. He’s physically not much of a threat, but he is a skilled schemer and manipulator, and-
[ Which is the moment that the video will shake, and a very brief flash of a familiar face (spoiler: Akira’s) can be seen. Off-screen, he’s gently pressing a kiss to Goro’s cheek, whispering that he loves him. Don’t mind the view of a ceiling for a moment, guys - it’s a nice ceiling, at least?
… He’ll properly make it up to Goro, later, if he can? For now, though, he gently brushes the fingers of one hand through his boyfriend’s hair. Akira’s face can properly be seen, after he takes a quiet breath. He looks… well, how most would remember? Only with a bit more of a tiredness to it, maybe.
Though, that’s not taking away from how serious he looks as he speaks. ]
... and, while Goro is right about all of that, there is one more detail I feel should be taken into account. Shido isn’t a good person, but he’s well-aware of that now. He’s done unforgivable things, but his eyes were opened to all of it after his ass was kicked.
[ JUST SAYING… ]
Anyway, nobody has to worry about him. Besides, he knows if he tried anything, he’d have to answer to all of us from his world, and then some.
[ JUST SAYING... ]
[This is the point where Goro takes his tablet back, looking a bit huffy.]
It’s true, he isn’t likely to be a threat now. But he absolutely doesn’t deserve anyone’s kindness or sympathy.

Yanno, I had older half-siblings back in my home universe that have no idea who the fuck their sperm donor is because he was such a raging dick that the whole world was better off without his existence. So my mom was all "you know what, fuck that guy", and to be honest, I don't think anyone in our family even actively thinks about him at any given point in time.
[ "No father is better than a bad father", as they say. Marla doesn't know the part where the people she thinks are her half-siblings are actually her biological cousins who were adopted after Marla's aunt died, and also Marla's mother fed their biological father to a monster jellyfish and hid the evidence, but details. She also is perfectly aware that her own father recently got in touch with a daughter he didn't even know existed until recently, but shush.
Basically, everything her family does is really fucking hardcore. ]
I'm just saying, man. I think in your case being some deadbeat rando is actually your best option.

[also, self-flagellation,]
Perhaps I am being redundant at this point, but I must face the consequences of my actions.

You know what, I think we've got better to do than have to do this callout party every time a bunch of new people come in, so maybe I'll actually get to work on that.

Hey bro, what's your input?

So like.
Have you ever thought about... wearing condoms?
I mean in general.
[ Look. One illegitimate kid she can chalk up to a misfire. Two suggests some sort of pattern, and... he suggested there were others, and that's rather worrying.
IT'S A VERY OBVIOUS QUESTION THAT NEEDS ASKING. ]

...one of the robots is a doctor.
Get yourself tested, dude.
[She sighs deeply and gives him the most judgmental lineface ever.]
I can't believe I'm giving this talk to a guy the same age as my dad.
