[instead of his usual video posts, Sora's turned on only audio this afternoon on account of his hands are full-- the 'gear must be attached to his belt or something, because his voice sounds kind of far off, and almost drowned out by the sound of him shifting around a huge box filled with bottles and trinkets and who knows what else in his arms. as

GIVE IT A LOVE TAP. OR JUST REBOOT IT.

[tiercelet]

[He eyes the pokeball suspiciously, then finally relaxes after a few moments pass]

Well. That was fun. [He smiles ruefully] Sorry I wasn't much help--I forgot our powers don't really work here.

/PUNCHES KEYBOARD UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS

[newhero]

Are you kidding? I've never met anybody who could stare down a dragon before! That was awesome!

/STARTS SMOKING SUSPICIOUSLY

[tiercelet]

[Smiles a bit and ducks his head] It's not that big a deal.

THAT MEANS IT'S WORKING, RIGHT

[newhero]

It was, though!

[he sticks out his hand for a handshake.]

I'm Sora! Er, I guess you already knew that... What's your name?

/EVEN MORE SUSPICIOUS, GREYISH SMOKE COMES BILLOWING OUT

[tiercelet]

Yeah, it'll be hard to forget your name after that fiasco. [Takes the hand firmly, smile bright] Mine's Merlin.

... oh, pokéballs 1/2

[newhero]

Well, I guess I've met people under weirder circumstances... Nice to meet, you Mer--

[newhero]

-- Merlin?!

[tiercelet]

[tiercelet]

...yes?

[newhero]

Holy cow, you lost your beard! I mean-- You're a lot younger than I remember...

|D I KNEW IT

[tiercelet]

My beard--I'm only twenty three! I am not going to grow out a beard anytime soon, thanks.

8DDD

[newhero]

Seriously?

Geez, the Merlin I met back in Traverse Town must have been at least a million, judging by the length of his beard...

....../facepalm

[tiercelet]

I can't imagine having a beard. I...no. No.

[newhero]

But it's--

[and he places his hands by his chin and brings them down slowly in the shape of a beard. long beard is loonnnng.]

[tiercelet]

[Unamused Merlin is unamused. He emphasises this by rubbing a hand over his face with a sigh]

It's still a no.
