A iPear.
It was an interesting brand of communicator called a 'phone'. Tarble hadn't really been exposed to this kind of technology before, but from what Elena explained to him, this thing held the same properties that his communicators did but it also allowed him to access something called the internet. She showed him a few sites that he could go on to get news from various different planets, allowed him to keep in the loop on different technologies and even a site that seemed to have funny pictures. He thanked her for the device but he was still getting used to it.
However, like many things, he was able to adapt to it fairly easily. But there was the existence of a certain archetype of picture on the internet: memes. The Heretic had never been exposed to meme culture before, but now he was finally getting his feet wet. He had to share it with someone, so that was exactly what he did as he hastily made his way over to Yamato. He showed the demon the screen of his phone.
"Oh my goodness, look at this guy! He's so nice, isn't he?!" Tarble had a smile stretching from ear to ear.
Yamato had been idling around on the Van Eltia, cigarette hanging from his lips as he lounged on the sofa in the living room. Tarble had popped into place just a few feet away, but the demon had been so used to it that it didn't even startle him anymore. Instead, he was greeted with a phone coming into his view. This sort of device he was used to seeing because of Elena, she was often one that was up to date with technology, while the rest of the family stuck to communicators.
But a strange image was shown to him and Yamato slowly lifted his gaze upward to the Saiyan who was merely beaming at him with relative innocence. He called this guy 'nice' and he couldn't help but to raise his eyebrows in confusion. "Nice..?" It was an image of a man with text written over it, how did that make this person nice? "...Tarble, this is stupid, I don't understand." A puff of smoke left from his lips as he playfully swatted the phone away from him.
Tarble was a bit disappointed by how Yamato didn't understand the meme. "It's a meme, you dip!" He laughed at the reference he was making, but.. Yamato wasn't laughing. He let smoke waft into the air and tried to swat the phone away from him. He felt brushed off, causing him to pout. "You don't want my attention?!" He's being a dick right now.. and you're being childish with that phone. You never acted like that when you didn't have the phone. The other Tarbles inside of him were warriors, but the current Tarble was always open to trying new things to learn.
So he decided to push a little bit. "Hmph! I shouldn't be surprised. Elena did say you were becoming a boring old man, I guess there's more truth to her words than I thought!" Of course, there were getting to be around the same mental age now with all the Tarbles inside of him, but who was counting? "So you're becoming an old fart with no sense of humor, huh. That's fine, I didn't want to share my memes with you anyway! Old geezer!" He stuck his tongue out at the demon, acting.. oddly childish all of a sudden.
Yamato felt himself blinking wildly at how Tarble exclaimed about him not wanting Tarble's attention. He was sticking out his tongue and even calling him an old man. Why did it feel like he just pissed off his spouse and not his friend? Confusion was clearly evident on the demon's face, that cigarette hanging limply in his mouth as he stared at the Saiyan, rather dumbfounded. "I, er.." He was called boring and old again and even that Elena had said that he was.
He wasn't fun anymore and had no sense of humor? The demon frowned a bit and watched as the Saiyan basically stomped his foot and had a temper tantrum, shifting from an angry spouse to as if this man was actually his son. "What the hell has gotten into you?" A gentle sigh left him before he patted the seat on the sofa beside him. "C'mere. Show me more of these... memes, you said?" Yamato wasn't a tech savvy sort of person, nor did he look at the internet, so all of this was new to him, so how was he expected to laugh?
Well... he'd at least try and humor him. I'm not boring... he huffed to himself.
Tarble gave a cheer as he suddenly shifted his position and asked to be shown more of the memes. He smiled, sitting beside the demon and beginning to show him his phone. He flipped to another picture this time, perhaps a more relatable one.
"What about this one?" He smiled wide and stared at Yamato, as if waiting for a proper reaction. Meanwhile, another man began to approach them from behind casually with a box of donuts. "Oi, what're you two up to?" He began to lean over the sofa, peering at the phone screen. He stared for a moment.
And then he started to laugh. In fact, he slapped his knee he was cackling so damn much. "Don't like your stupid-- fuck, that's good!" Tears were prickling at the corners of his eyes as he laughed, only to hop over the back of the sofa and sit beside the demon. "Looks like Tarble's got a good fuckin' sense of humor. He's giving you some pointers, baby?" He winked at the demon, wrapping an arm around his shoulder. "C'mon, show us some more, Tarble! I think I could go all night reading over these."
Tarble started to practically cheer in excitement over the fact that he was being offered a chance to show more. It was like a wild ride with this one. The phone screen was moved between them as he scrolled through the page and stopped at another one. Tarble was grinning like mad and Yamato read over the text and stared at the face and its expression. He blinked and cracked a smile, attempting to show that he was enjoying it... when he was inwardly just cringing.
The sound of the door opening could be heard as Rufus entered with the box of donuts he had went out to fetch, jut something to snack on for the evening. As Rufus read over the 'meme' over their shoulders, he started to cackle and lap his knee. Yamato turned around to face his lover in bewilderment, just wanting to know how this was so damn funny! The hybrid hopped over the sofa and landed on the other side of Yamato and an arm moved around his shoulders as the pirate leaned into him.
Was Tarble offering him... pointers? He blinked and then heard the man say that he could do this all night and Yamato couldn't help but to pinch the bridge of his nose. "Merciful heavens, it's spreading..." Part of him wanted to go find Eizen for some sort of salvation. Certainly, he'd understand him more at this rate.
