Pilbis Shonley/Relationships

NBC
{{#tag: tabber| Guy Jones=

Guy Jones
Starting off as enemies in the Burger Shot days, Guy was the first person that Pilbis ever assaulted— attacking him on a crane in defense of Four Tee. After spending time together while hunting they became friends. Guy would eventually invite Pilbis to NBC alongside Peanut. Peanut=

Peanut
Peanut first met Pilbis at Burger Shot and by getting him to help with blind scams. He, alongside Guy, invited Pilbis to NBC and would eventually adopt Pilbis as a son (perhaps only to be able to tell him what to do). Salem=

Salem Barghouthi
Pilbis met Salem at PDM, though they grew to be friends only after NBC was founded. Pilbis started calling Salem his grandfather, which Salem quickly accepted. Brad † =

Brad Bett †
Pilbis met Brad through NBC, where Pilbis immediately made fun of him for looking like Riff Raff. The two quickly became close friends— despite Brad's insistence on their relationship being romantic and sexual— and would often have "P & B Episodes," usually resulting in arrest.

On the 19th of August, 2022, Brad Bett suffered a gunshot wound to the head after holding up Officer Suarez at Ottos Autos and later succumbed to his injuries. Shortly before his passing, Brad gave Pilbis his ID and NBC chain. Pilbis currently wears Brad's chain in place of his own.

Family
{{#tag: tabber| Domenic Toretti=

Domenic Toretti
In early 2022, Pilbis began following Toretti around in the hopes of a ridealong, although Toretti was against the idea and admonished Pilbis for being a criminal. Pilbis randomly began referring to Toretti as his father which Toretti was defiant of until Pilbis chose Toretti as his best man at his wedding with Mercury Frost on March 1st, 2022. It seems that after regretfully shooting Pilbis during the event Toretti began to think fondly of him and would later come to call him his son. On March 6th, 2022, Pilbis was reeducated by Toretti, John Copperton, and Peach Chee in SDSO. Fingle Dan=

Fingle Dan
Upon meeting Fingle Dan, Pilbis requested he be hired at Burger Shot because he was funny. At some unknown point Fingle adopted Pilbis as his son, therefore adding him to a large family. In May of 2022 Fingle decided to unadopt Pilbis because he was "45 years old"; Peach - also Fingle's daughter -requested that Fingle "unabort" Pilbis, but Pilbis refused, instead asserting that Toretti was a much better father. }}

Romantic Interests
{{#tag: tabber| Andi Jones=

Andi Jones
- Confessed feelings on March 9th 2023 - Became officially dating on March 20th 2023

Carmella Corset=

Carmella Corset
Carmella began frequently hanging out with NBC in early 2022. On February 7th, Carmella gave Pilbis a love potion; although it allegedly wore off, Pilbis's apparently romantic feelings towards Carmella persisted afterwards. Pilbis was very jealous towards Carmella's relationship with Vasily and often attempted to sabotage it. After Carmella broke off her engagement with V, she began spending more time with Pilbis and soon showed interest in him. After a period of being in an unofficial relationship, they began dating on March 23rd. They broke up on May 3rd, 2022.

Ensley Alton=

Ensley Alton
After forcing Brad to admit a crush on Ensley during the Scamazon/Amazoom arc, Pilbis began to express interest in getting a "cop girlfriend." He began to pursue Ensley and eventually went on a single date with her, though this ended when his relationship with Carmella began. Lana Valentine=

Lana Valentine
Pilbis and Lana became friends very early on when Lana and Paris helped Pilbis with petty crime. Pilbis, according to himself, later began to gaslight Lana— he would end every phone call with a proclamation of love and when she eventually said it back, he called her weird and never said it again. Jean Steele=

Jean Steele
Pilbis's relationship with Jean occurred over his first couple of months in the city. He met her at Burger Shot, where she was apparently smitten with his shy and awkward demeanor. Given her marriage to Jordan Steele, Pilbis was constantly afraid of repercussions and at one point created the alter ego Floyd Dreamer (who Shelly Smith fell in love with) to hide from Jordan. Their "relationship" ended after a few weeks, when Jean stopped coming into the city. }}

Friends
{{#tag: tabber| Headphones=

Headphones
Pilbis and Headphones became unlikely friends after meeting one another through Dodo Logistics. As polar opposites, the two share a unique— and occasionally strained— relationship. Flighty and absentminded, Pilbis has a knack for forgetting to maintain plans with Headphones. In turn, Headphones' anxious and reserved nature makes communicating these frustrations difficult. However, despite their differences, the two can often be found hanging out together and seemingly enjoy each other's company— with Headphones often opting to tease and make fun of Pilbis for his incompetence.

Despite Headphones and Pilbis' insistence on their relationship as just friends, many people within their mutual circles implore that the two are dating or are romantically interested in the other.

Pilbis accidentally found out Headphones' name after Alexander Campbell revealed it in casual conversation. Pilbis, respecting her desire for privacy, chose to avoid referencing it— only calling Headphones by her given name twice in private conversation (to mixed reception). }}
