Thirty-Third Flare - Video - Deal With A Magician

[prominence_glow]

Gooooooood morning, Vatheon!

[Hi my name is Lea and I am chipper as fuck this morning. Hope my excessive amounts of glee doesn't ruin that barely-awake grouchiness you might have going on!]

[Er. Anyway.]

[Smiling and with a certain little Eevee trying to nudge his head into the shot, Lea gives a small wave.]Looks like the natives are just as

What a fascinating little animal!

[Signless is looking closely at the Eevee in his video screen. This is one decidedly not-crazy troll ancestor, Lea.]

Is that a Pokey Man?

[prominence_glow]

[...It is so creepy to see someone who looks like Karkat but is smiling. so creepy- okay Lea is just an ass like that. After a rather bewildered set of blinks, Lea grins back. Arden is already squirming in his hands to lean close, nose twitching.]

Pokemon, yeah. They call these ones Eevees, but I named him Arden. Sooooo, you one of those ancestor guys, not-Karkat?

[withoutasign]

A Pokemon, my mistake.

[Signless grins at the friendly animal before turning his attention back to Lea.]

Yes, I'm Karkat's ancestor. You can call me Signless. Are you one of Karkat's friends?

[prominence_glow]

Yeah. He's helped me out before and stuff. Nice guy. Yelly. But that makes it fun.

You like animals or somethin'? Since you kinda fixated on Arden right away, heh.

[withoutasign]

Very yelly. But a good child all the same.

I do, and another human showed me his Pokemon when I first arrived. How do they stay in the little balls?

[prominence_glow]

I actually don't have a clue. They're not native to Radiant Garden, where I'm from. I actually got Arden because some trainers here had their pokemon breed, and I was lucky enough to get Arden's egg.

I don't even like keepin' him in a ball anyway. He gets along better with the Chocobos and runnin' wild and all.

[withoutasign]

What is a chocobo?

[prominence_glow]

[He gets asked that so often, you have no idea.]

Lemme show ya.

[Getting up now! And taking the SFC with him, although his hand mostly covers the camera. Moving to the backyard of the Nest... There's a whistle, and the sound of lots of heavy feet can be heard. When Lea readjusts the camera... The screen is full of different colored Chocobo faces peering curiously at the camera.]

[Kweh.]

Chocobo.

[withoutasign]

[Eeeee, birdies!]

They're beautiful!

[prominence_glow]

Well, they're mine, so of course they're beautiful!

[Technically Stein's. But. Shut up. Lea moves into the shot again.]

They're really useful and friendly once you get to know 'em. And the chicks have been growing up great!

[withoutasign]

Would I be allowed to meet one someday? Or would that make them nervous?

[Signless has no idea if they're used to trolls or not.]

[prominence_glow]

Sure! Some of the Chocobos are still a little nervous, because, y'know, stuff-

[Vague handwave. Best not to explain Stein right now.]

-but I've gotten them used to things now, for the most part. Still a bit twitchy, but they're okay. You can come and visit whenever you want. I've moved a lot of them to the Nest.

[withoutasign]

Thank you, I would enjoy that a great deal.

[prominence_glow]

You gonna have any time sometime soon? I know things have been... busy for you guys.

[withoutasign]

Maybe not for a few days.

[He's still recovering; the trip down to the Plaza to get the Disciple ripped open a few wounds in his back, so he's been barred from leaving the apartment until everything is scabbed over.]

They're lovely, though. I definitely look forward to seeing one in real life.

[prominence_glow]

Well, here are some directions.

[Sent!]

You ever wanna drop by, get somethin' to eat, visit the birds, you're always welcome.
