Electric Love

T.K.O.'s Profile.

Dendy decides to make an update on her data of T.K.O. (art by kamicat0w0 on Tumblr.)

-------------------------------------------------

At the sound of the doorbell ringing, Carol blinked, heading to the door from the kitchen. Oh, right! K.O. said he had Dendy coming over today after school. Or, well, T.K.O. now. K.O.'s been really frustrated recently, though the reason was unknown, so Carol's little dumbbell was letting his alter ego out more often than he has before. It was starting to worry her.

Stretching her arms over her head, she walks towards the door and opens with the gap-toothed smile. "Heyya, Dendy!" She kneels down to get closer to the kappa's level. "I'm guessing you're here to see K.O.?"

She nods as she takes out a small packet of math homework from her backpack, giving it to Carol. "He left his homework at school again, so I came here to return it to him since he was not at the Bodega." She opened a sky blue holographic screen, displaying a database. "I also wanted to acquire some information on T.K.O. by studying him in person, assuming he is still in his turbonic form."

"Oh... Really? You're sure?" She gave Dendy a look of mild concern. T.K.O. is very dangerous and it didn't seem like she should allow Dendy to do this. However, from what she heard, Dendy was able to handle T.K.O the most. So, a part of her had a feeling Dendy would be okay. Still, there wouldn't be any harm in giving the child a warning."He's actually pretty inactive, at least when he wants to be," Carol explains with a shrug. "I usually just wrap 'em up in a bunch of blankets and give him space."

Dendy nods, typing it into her database. "I'll make it quick, ma'am."

"Sure thing, kiddo." She leads Dendy to the door to K.O.'s room. "Thanks for bringing K.O.'s homework over, by the way. It was real nice of ya."

"You're welcome, Mrs. Kincaid," She says. "perhaps you could give K.O. a backpack so he will not constantly lose his things."

"I'll be sure to get one for him." Carol turns the doorknob with mild uncertainty. "Now, be careful, alright? He's had a bit of a bad day." And with that, she opens the door to let Dendy in.

The kappa steps inside with a nod and closes the door behind her, but doesn't bother to turn the light on. Sun streams in through the blinds, leaving her with ample ability to see. Action-figures, POW Cards, and comic books lay strewn about the floor; it looks like he kept himself occupied. Maybe she could keep him busy in a not-so-destructive way. She'd just need to find a way to calm him down, which right now seemed impossible.

Dendy carefully steps over the various objects on the floor to find an empty spot in K.O.'s now messy room. She soon sat on an empty spot from the end of the bed, which contains a bundle of blue blankets. They shift, and two magenta eyes glowed in Dendy's direction, glaring at her. Just from that, she knew who those eyes belonged to.

A gland of sweat fell down her face. There he was. Almost right in front of her. Now is not the time to be timid, Dendy, She says to herself. this shall be easy and quick. Dendy takes a quiet, deep breath to recollect herself momentarily before waving to the bundle of blue blankets. "Greetings, T.K.O."

The figure snarls and jumps out of the bundle of blankets, showing himself. T.K.O. lunges for the kappa, flings her from the bed, and pins her to the wall. His face laced with rage as he kept a tight grip on her arms. "What do you want!?" He yells, directly into her face.

Her pupils shrank, her fear rising quickly. However, Dendy took a deep breath. "..I'm just here to get some information on you to update your profile."

"Hah! Still your lab rat, huh?" He asks with a deeper growl. A sharp-toothed and sinister grin curls on his face as he lets go of one of Dendy's arms only to raise his hand, a ball of purple energy forming. "Looks like I'll have to teach you another lesson..."
