- buttons! Aha! Yes, it is working now, isn't it? Hellooooo?

[The sound of a someone fiddling with the Forge. Then-]

[Video]

[And it's Break! He looks much better than he did last time, at any rate; no more blood, more color in his cheeks. Although he's still no expert cameraman... he's

Comments

[video] idk what Break can/can't see, but it's a video anyway!

[inpiecesofcloud]

[The returning video looks similar, though this face is pink-cheeked and round with a few stands of pink hair hanging into the frame.]

Sweet shop! You like candy, Mister White Hair? I know where all the best candy in the city is!

[video] he can... kinda tell the screen glows more when it's a video. >_> he's trying to blend in!

[break_onthru]

[First guess: CHILD. Just by the voice and what she's saying. He pulls back slightly from the screen, to give the illusion that he can see her.]

Oh, I do indeed! I arrived with some, you see, but I'm all out now. Any help would be grrreatly appreciated!

[video]

[inpiecesofcloud]

I can help, I can help! The best candy stores and bakeries and pastry shops and everything! I know where they all are and they all know me!

[Whether or not that's necessarily a good thing is left unanswered.]

I can show you!

[video]

[break_onthru]

[...Show him, you say?]

Yes! That would be absolutely splendid!

[Video]

[smolder_proof]

[She's glad to see that he's still doing well.]

I can see you're doing fine.

[Video]

[break_onthru]

[There's no mistaking the sound of her voice.]

Rapunzel, hello! Yes, of course I'm fine. It was just a scratch, after all. [He beams at her, although the screen jerks a bit as he pulls it back from his face and settles off-center again.]

And how are you? [He's noticed certain people seem... collectively upset about something, Rapunzel among them, but he has no idea what exactly.]

[Video]

[smolder_proof]

I'm glad.

[How was she...? She wasn't really sure herself.] I'm fine. I just...I found out I've been here before. My mother, too.

[Video]

[break_onthru]

[...Oh. THAT'S interesting. His smile drops to a more serious, thoughtful expression.]

How very curious. [Although, strangely, he doesn't sound like he's surprised.]

But you don't remember being here before, is that correct?

Voice

[strongarmed]

[It's practically a purr of a voice.]

Sweets? I didn't know men craved such things.

Voice

[break_onthru]

Pffft, of course we do! We have needs like everyone else, you know.

Voice

[strongarmed]

How refreshing. Unfortunately, I don't get the chance to indulge very much.

Voice

[break_onthru]

Hmmm, in sweets or in men?

[oopsiatehim]

Like, a candy store?

[break_onthru]

Yes! Same thing, isn't it?

[oopsiatehim]

Sure, why not. There are candy stores all over the place. Except Anatole is totally a backass old world nightmare, so don't expect any MARS bars or anything.

/back two days and already a threadjack!

[girl_unlocking]

Not totally true. I got a Zero bar in my Thanksgiving basket. Maybe there's a stockpile somewhere.

Voice

[i_love_squats]

Well, I guess it depends on what kinda sweets you're looking for. Muffins? Cake? Candy?

There's a few folks here that can show you the way to anything with even a speck of sugar!

Voice

[break_onthru]

[Muffins? Cake? Candy?] Yes!

Excellent! You wouldn't happen to be one of them, would you?

Voice

[i_love_squats]

[And thus, a friendship is born!]

Am I that obvious?

Voice

[break_onthru]

[Oh, it sure is.]

Aha! I was hoping you would say that!
