Kid 02 - Icarus improved [Video]
[Night. The PCD appears to be hanging from some sort of strap around his neck, swaying slightly back and forth with his momentum as he leaps easily from roof to roof. You can't see his face, but he sounds as cheerful and indomitable as ever.]
I confess I've never been able to keep my feet on the ground for long.
[Below, a mass of angry looking gnomes have gathered and seem to be staring up at him. A smirk is quite clearly evident in his voice.]
Hm? Oh yes, the would-be jailers. Pity you're all down there, isn't it~?
[Suddenly, a gnome goes whizzing past the PCD lens and the view jerks crazily as Kid scrambles to avoid the gnome projectile - they've decided to toss each other up at him to get him down. A veritable volly of gnomes follow, a few landing on the roof and chasing after him on foot.]
Ack! Tenacious little things aren't they?
[One gnome actually hits the PCD and manages to grab on, beginning to climb up the strap.]
Alright, alright, I'm going back!
[The view makes a wide arc as he turns back around. The gnome doesn't let go of the strap until his feet touch back down on the window ledge of his room. Kid plucks it from it's perch and allows it to sit almost complacently in the palm of his glove. His face comes quite near to it as he grants it an amiable smile and a nod.]
I thank you for the safe escort, back home - I fear I might not have made it without you.
[A small poof of smoke and the gnome has a mini parachute (that looks suspiciously like a handkerchief) attached to it with the design of a white rose sketched across it's surface as it floats safely to the ground with the rest of it's kind.]
Au revoir my friends~
[He closes the window behind him and picks up the PCD from where it's hanging skewed around his neck, looking straight into the lens and smiling.]
Well that was certainly an exciting adventure, wasn't it? Reminds me of those little eye robots.
[With another, almost vacant smile, he ends the feed.]
