video ✪ 08

[notjust_risette]

[As the feed comes on, the camera captures Rise holding up what looks like a chrome whistle in her hands as she lay on her bed. The angle of the video seems somewhat off as it lay beside her on the mattress. The video hadn't been accidental. She knew it was on, but had tossed the device aside before the camera had even turned on and dropped herself

[ Cue a very puzzled look. ]

Your... whistle has a sense of humor?

[notjust_risette]

[She shakes her head, still looking a little pouty.]

Not the whistle. One of my friends...

[clumsychosen]

Ohhh... [ A beat. ] Well, that's so nice of them to give you a present!

[notjust_risette]

I totally would've wanted something else as a gift thought!

[Annoyed + bitter? Bad combination.]

[clumsychosen]

[ Alright, Colette is a little more confused. Her brows furrow together. ]

You don't like it...? Oh! It is because you have a hard time making them work?

[notjust_risette]

Oh, it works all right. I just don't want to blow it and have someone running here. Who knows what they'll think. [Eyeroll goes here.]

[clumsychosen]

Ohh, you're right. They might think you are in some sort of trouble!

[notjust_risette]

Yeah, and inside Dusk too. I'm sure it'll be a huge mess after.

[clumsychosen]

Hmm... well, maybe you can blow it quietly to yourself? That way no one else can hear it!

[notjust_risette]

[She smiles a little.]

You really want me to give it a shot, huh?

[clumsychosen]

--- Oh! If it's not too much trouble! I wouldn't want to force anything on you that you didn't want to do!

[ Oh man, oh man. ] I'm sorry!

[notjust_risette]

[She shakes her head. You really do meet all sort of people here.]

No, it's okay. It's okay. I guess one time won't hurt.

[She takes the whistle once more and blows just quietly enough for it not to attract too much attention. When she's done, she laughs]

Sure sounds like an ordinary whistle to me.

[clumsychosen]

[ Collete's smile beams at the agreement before shifting forward to try to hear the whistle from the other side of the Dreamberry.

A gasp, then giggling is a go! ] You're right, it does sound like a ordinary whistle. But this one is very special because your friend gave it to you!

[notjust_risette]

Special in more ways the one, too.

[Yosuke's going to be in for a surprise when he gets back.]

I'll probably have to put it somewhere the dogs can't get it, too.

[clumsychosen]

It's even more special?

[ Oh wow. Serious magical whistle timez. ]

Oh, right! You shouldn't let anyone else touch your special whistle-- it's very important!

[notjust_risette]

Oh yeah, in more ways than one.

It's not that important really. But I've got plans for it if Yosuke-senpai shows up again.
