[The NV clatters to the ground the moment it turns on, and there's a distinct 'oops' that sounded more cheerful than regretful. Instead of picking it up, though, Hope just ducks down into view, looking much happier than he had the previous two months.]

Hey, guys! So, sooo--

[ Oh dear. On the one hand, happy Hope is good, but on the other.. uh. ]

Fuzzy slippers? [ She grins at the thought. ] I don't think fuzzy slippers are for everyone. Well, as for me, I love fuzzy slippers. Anyway, you don't - that weather prediction isn't real, right? It's just a gag, I mean - raining cream pies?

That's kind of messy.

[escapedpandora]

But fuzzy slippers are great! Everyone should have it, and-- and the news said that it powers households! I think? Wouldn't that be great, though?

[He's nearly falling over with the laughing.]

A-and the pies! If it rained pies, no one would ever be hungry again!

Fuzzy slippers power households? I don't think that's right ... it'd certainly be something though. [ A pause, in a bit of concern for such guffawing. ] Take a breath Hope, you're laughing so much you won't have any air for yourself!

Anyway, if it rained pies - well we can't all eat nothing but pies. Sure we wouldn't have any problem with going hungry but you'd have to have someone out here all the time to catch the pies before they hit the ground first.

[Breathing. He's doing it. But that just means stuttering between his words as he breathes.]

B-but then the person catching the pies w-would be all covered! In cream pie! He might eventually look like... a pie zombie!

[ Video ]

[wtf_keyblade]

[ She's CONCERNED Hope. All that laughter isn't healthy if you laugh yourself to an early grave! ]

A pie ...zombie? [ She giggles at the thought. ] Well anyone who was going to catch the pies would have to arm themselves properly, I think. Like with a net to catch them!

[escapedpandora]

[He's making up for the past half year.]

Like catching butterflies?

[That mental image is not helping the chuckles.]

B-but! The pies might just splash through the nets!

[ Video ]

[wtf_keyblade]

[ Well that's okay so long as he didn't overdo it! Which he might. Oops. ]

Well not if the pies rain down in pie plates already. Otherwise it won't matter if you're hungry or not. If it really does rain pies, it's just going to splash down on the ground and no one will be able to eat them anyway. Except for animals, or someone really desperate.

But plates might knock people out!

[And that would be funny. People knocked out all over the city because of pies in plates raining down over their heads.]

C-could be mini-pies! Small ones. Small cream pies. Small enough to catch in bags!

[ Video ]

[wtf_keyblade]

Aluminum foil plates? [ She shakes her head. ] So we'd be back to people having to catch them in modified pie catching nets then.

[ What is this conversation. Really. ]

[ Video ]

[escapedpandora]

[The conversation must be made of awesome. Awesome cream pies.]

Could clean a whole parking lot! [He's giggling at the idea.] Cover it with aluminum foil! Keep it clean! A-and then people can just eat eeeverything that landed there!

[ Video ]

[wtf_keyblade]

... That's ... that's a little gross, Hope. I don't know if I'd want to eat a pie that landed on some aluminum foil- I'd probably rather get it from the store actually. Ah -- you really should probably take a breath again, you've been giggling a lot up till now.

[ And shameful Kairi hasn't done anything to try and calm him down. Or say anything not as humorous. Let's try a change of subject. ]

Um! So how have you been? I mean... before you got into the tainted water.

[ Video ]

[escapedpandora]

But then, it wouldn't be free pie raining from the sky!

[Breathing... giggling... give him a moment to choose.]

Good! I'm great. Today's been great. How are you, Kairi? Isn't today great?

[ Video ]

[wtf_keyblade]

I'm glad that you're doing all right -- barring the um... [ Yeah. ] I'm good! [ Though she hasn't seen Rinoa in forever, and thinks that she's gone home. ]

Today is ... well there have been some unpleasant things going on, but other than that, sure it's a pretty good day!

[ Video ]

[escapedpandora]

Unpleasant? But, but!

But it's great! I mean, there are so many people happy today and I think there's some parade going on!
