Ten Pies Flying // .. Part of this is totally not what this looks like.
[It starts with a loud clattering, followed by an old man's laughter.] --missed, Meryl!
[The video flickers on after the audio, the camera focusing from the floor on a bed and two old men holding... pillows?]
[Yes, pillows. And then one of them goes to whack the other with them.] That's because my target is so tiny -
[Direct hit! And the other goes to smack him right back.] Aha, that is only an excuse--both of us know that you have excellent aim! Perhaps you are just simply out of practice?
Gah! [or maybe he's just bad at dodging.] You - hold still - ! [Over-the-head swing!] I think you have too much practice -
[Gyatso blocks with his own pillow, then goes for the other's chest.] Experience is necessary if one is to keep up with his young charges--!
[CRITICAL HIT! The mage falls onto his back against the covers; but he's not out yet, and he tries to whap Gyatso in the stomach. Experienced pillow fighters will note that he's not very good at this. What can you expect?] Maybe the charges do this because of the mentor!
[Another hit--which only makes Gyatso laugh again. He puts one knee onto the bed to start beating Meryl with his pillow.] Not true! Pillow fighting is in the blood of Airbenders! [Whack whack whack!]
[fdkljgslf nooo!] Agh! I surrender, I surrender! [But he does give one last swing with his pillow, a wild one because he's being so beaten....]
[And it smacks Gyatso's pillow right out of his hands and sends it flying through the air. It lands on the communicator and smothers the view.] Ah! [Mock horror voice.] You... You have...!
Aha! You are weaponless, good sir! [And Meryl is back!] Checkmate?
[A pause, followed by a gentle chuckle.] A most excellent checkmate, indeed! You have made me proud, Meryl!
Ha. [Well, now that our ego has been restored....time to deflate it again.] Never too old to learn a few new tricks, hmm?
[Footsteps. Gyatso's voice grows closer.] Perhaps. And perhaps it was just 'beginner's luck'. [He sounds more amused than upset, however.]
'Beginner's luck'? Pah! Perhaps you're just a little too far out of that 'beginner' phase...
... Oho, that I am indeed! But it is you who is the late bloomer in such things as these. [And something shifts across the camera before being removed, Gyatso's face peering down at the camera instead.] ... What's this? Did we knock you on the floor, little one?
Well, I....what? [Hello, there's a Meryl in the background.] Are you talking to your device aga...[....] ....Gyatso, that thing is on, isn't it...
[A long moment.] I believe it is. [He sounds unconcerned.] It must have turned on when it fell....
[There's some more mental keysmashing from Meryl...] Ye gods, Gyatso, turn it off and erase it -
[Another pause, and then Gyatso smiles a bit mischievously at the camera.] Whatever for? It seems perfectly happy as it is.
[DKSGKKTGKFDGHB.] How can you even tell I - Gyatso I will beat you will this pillow - !
[Gyatso turns to look at Meryl, sounding innocent.] Is there something wrong, Meryl?
[Oh dammit. We hear those tildes in your voice, Gyatso. Time to make good on his threats, then. The pillow's flying.]
[Gyatso laughs and ducks, managing to just barely miss getting hit with the pillow.] I was only teasing, Meryl. [His hand can be seen fiddling with the device.] Of course I'll remove it.... [And then he pauses, looking confused.] ... Except it will not let me.
[And this is Meryl looking a cross between horrified and murderous...]
[Gyatso gasps rather loudly.] In fact, I think it's about ready to pos--
[And that's when the transmission abruptly ends.]
((OOC: Gyatso = Blue, Meryl = Green. ... And yes, they share the same bed (to save space for others that may move in!). And they're both men. ... And they have no clue what that even could LOOK like to other people. 8D))
