8th Combo - [Video]

[redcladidealist]

[There's a goofy grin on Lloyd's face when he turns the Dreamberry on. His cheeks are also slightly flushed - but maybe he's just happy?]

DAAAAAD! I found dragon juice! It's really, really good!

[The view shifts away suddenly, and for a moment there's only stone. Then it shifts again - wait. Is Lloyd climbing out of a window? Dressed only in

[redcladidealist]

Yeah! It's what dwarven heroes drink! It feels like it's burning in your mouth if you drink too much. 'Cause it's made from dragon berries!

[There's a hint of a tipsy slur to Lloyd's words, but he's happily oblivious.]

Dad thought they were gone, bu' they're not. I wanna show him that they're real!

[Voice]

[redcladidealist]

Uh huh! Like Omar Thunderforge, who made earthquakes with his hammer! Or Dred Coalspark! He's th' one who used dragon berries to burn dragons away from his mine!

I dunno where they are, but I'm gonna find out! Zelos found dragon juice t'mix with other juice, so there's gotta be some around!

[demonspear]

[Where the hell...THERE HE IS.]

What the-- LLOYD! GET BACK INSIDE! [Grabbing his waist and pulling him back inside.]

[redcladidealist]

[Ack! Hey, cut that out, Zelos! Lloyd twists, struggling against the other's hands.]

Hey! Stop that, Zelos! Wha's the big idea?!

[demonspear]

[NEVER. Zelos managed to get a hold of him, literally picking him up and throwing him on the ground.]

I'm not gonna let you go off and kill yourself! That wasn't part of the plan.

[mumbling that last part.]

[redcladidealist]

[Oof! For some reason hitting the ground makes the room spin more than it should, and for a moment Lloyd just lies there, dazed, before struggling to sit up.]

Damnit, Z'los! [Glare.] I'm talking to dad! I gotta tell him about the juice!

[beats_zelos]

...Lloyd, are you feeling okay?

[redcladidealist]

Jus' fine, Sheena! [See? He's grinning! Look how happy he is!

...why is there a view of his legs dangling off a window sill?]

Why?

1/2

[beats_zelos]

[Her eyes go wider when she sees his legs dangling off the window sill.]

You're acting very--

[beats_zelos]

Get away from the window!

[squaredly]

[A giggle]

Your dad's here, Lloyd-kun?

[... She highly doubts that, but whatever. This is amusing.]

[redcladidealist]

Yeah! Maybe he is! But even if he's not, can't everyone hear you on this thing?

[squaredly]

Well, not if he's not even in this world.

[Pfffffffff.]

So what's this dragon juice like?

[redcladidealist]

Tha's why I have the window open. People can hear better when you're not shouting through a wall. [Hey, it makes perfect sense to him!]

It's kinda hard t'say 'cause it was mixed with other stuff, but it kinda burns a little when y'drink it. Like you can breathe fire!

[chiavarone]

Ahahaha!

Ciao, Llloyd.

Are you all right?

[redcladidealist]

Diiino~ [Lloyd waves enthusiastically, nearly losing his balance on the sill. He catches himself, though, not seeming to mind.] Yeah! I'm just fine!

Hey! I can see you from here! [Or someone blond, anyway, Kind of hard to see from here. But that's obviously Dino. Who else would it be?]

[chiavarone]

You...can? [Glances around, intrigued. Oh, Dino]

[redcladidealist]

Yeah! [He's looking away from the screen, directly at "Dino" below. Shouts at the top of his lungs.] DINO! I'M UP HERE!
