SCRAMBLE 01 :: video :: open to both courts

[The face that appears on the locket is that of a boy, barely thirteen. Despite that, he manages to put on an air of someone much older than he should be. He pauses for a moment, wondering momentarily if the message is going through and then feeling a little nervous. He doesn't seem to be very good at addressing people, it would seem.

But there's something on his mind-- several somethings, so he swallows it down and let's out a breath.]

Um. I guess I should start with introductions, right? Everyone else seems to... I'm Ao, Ao Fukai. It doesn't mean much here, but I am an IFO pilot of Generation Bleu's rescue task force Pied Piper. [A beat.] I mean, I was? I don't think I am any more...

I hope no one minds, but I have a few questions. They'll probably sound strange, but they're important.

Has anyone heard of things called Scub Coral? Or Scub Bursts? Secrets are fine, too, they usually appear after a Scub Burst. Scub Coral are sort of like a plant, they're dangerous to the people nearby. Scub Bursts happen when Scub Coral appear and then Secrets appear. That's usually how it happens.

They don't seem to be here, but i anyone's heard of them back home I'd like to know.

[He lets out a breath and rubs an eye.]

The next part is for this place-- How do they expect us to fight in a war that's not even our own? I'm not going to fight someone no matter what or who they are. And I'm definitely not going to let someone else die or something as stupid as this. We're all living here, after all.

[Making a face, he opens his mouth-- closes it-- and then tries to figure out what to say. The next part is weird to ask, but potentially just as important as the last two questions. Rubbing his eyes once more, he drops them from his face and considers. Then he just decides.... not to. And finishes up.]

I'm Ao. I don't care which side you're on, but I'd really like to get to know everyone here. We're more important than some sides they decided to put us on for convenience.

【 the face that peers at you through the device today has many freckles and really big, green eyes. rapunzel will peek at the device, squeal and disappear from sight.

...only to come back a moment later and clear her throat. totally confident.

she will lift the locket and narrow her eyes, trying to decide what to do. while she does that, you might notice she had began to paint on the walls of her room. you might also notice what seems to be an endless length of golden hair. 】

Ah - how do you do - er - Caer Glaem a-and Caer Scima, too! I - think.

Anyway! my name is Rapunzel and I thought you could sort of help me out. If you want to and you don't have to I mean that would probably sound rude, haha.

I need help locating some things, er -

【 hold on, she'll take out an actual list and try to sound formal 】

Your assistance is needed in finding: chameleons answering to the name Pascal, paint of any and all colors especially yellow and orange, pine nuts, sea shells, hair brushes, fabrics, needles, blankets, scissors, paper, candles and paint brushes!

【 she takes a deep breath. that was kind of a lot, wasn't it? 】

All of these are very important and they might have a little to do with my birthday that I postponed because the fairies came and asked for my help and I thought, well, a person can have so many birthdays but so few adventures with fairies even though it seems you had your hands full perhaps a bit too full...

Um! anyway. There would be cookies as a - er - boon for any help provided!

-- thank you.

[Hello fellow Draubworld residents! Have the face of an eager looking blonde teenager on your lockets. She's hanging out in her rooms, sitting on top of the chest at the foot of her bed in fact. Behind her are several dresses tossed on the bed pretty haphazard. She's opted for men's wear, though it looks a little big from her- nothing is exposed, though!]

So three questions- or, wait... technically four, depending on how you answer the third.

First question: Is anyone here interested in some dresses? [She glances back over her shoulder and only now, belatedly reaches back with her free hand and straightens one of them out across the cover, then turns back again.] This is what they brought when I asked about clothes, but I'm not really big on dresses. It seems dumb to just let them collect dust and go to waste and I figure someone here who can actually appreciate them is bound to be my size.

[Yeaaaap. So there's that. She holds up two fingers, wiggling them playfully.]

Second question! Does anyone here know where I can find a good tailor? Or, I don't know, if anyone watching this knows how to do it I'd be glad to pay for some comfortable clothes that fit.

[At which point she smirks, and there's definitely a glint of challenge in her eyes this time when she holds up three fingers.]

Third question. So the faeries bring all sorts of people here, right? I'm looking for people to train with. I know how to use weapons like lassos, swords, and spears, but what I'd really like is to find someone else who knows how to fight hand to hand. If you're up for it just let me know. My name is Cassie, and you can find me at Caer Glaem. Later!

[And then she waves at the locket with a grin and snaps it shut.]
