III [Accidental Video; Backdated a few days]

[wilder]

[The feed opens after this scene, as Zelos sets down his bag and accidentally causes the locket attached to open. They look to be in some area of the Station and Zelos is accompanied by what looks like grouchy black cat with a red scarf (who is no other than Mako who accidentally got turned into a cat by a feather). Also there's a baby dragon.]

Jeez- fine, Mako! I'll try! Stop giving me that look!

[Zelos sighs and tries to think how to do this. He's never actually tried to undo a curse or enchantment with magic before - he usually left that up to Raine. Just how was he supposed to do this? But he had to try something, so he makes a thinking noise for a moment before he snaps his fingers]

Okay, got an idea! Just hold still, okay? This takes concentration.

[He makes sure to be standing up so he can concentrate properly. Then, he starts channeling magic. Glowing light and glyphs appear around him. As he does so, water comes up from the ground, clean and sparkling with magic. The water starts to spin around the cat, until it forms a very large spinning bubble around him without getting him wet. Zelos meanwhile, looks like he's trying really hard to keep up concentration as he tries to recite the incantation he heard Raine say a lot]

Root of all creation...grant us the breath of- shit! Wait! That's the wrong one!

[And with that mess up, his concentration is broken. The glowing glyphs immediately dissipates and the sparkly water bubble? Well it immediately loses it's form and the water SPLASHES down on the cat. ]

MRRROOOOW!! [The cat freaks out, sneezing out a fireball in the process]

Whoa-! [Zelos jumps back away from the splashing water and FIRE, looking very startled]

...Oops?

[Flora covers her mouth and tries to hold it in, but her shoulders shake and she's giggling anyway.]

Oh no, that's so cute! And so made up! But so cute. Though I wonder if it's a good idea to call him that.

[Because she could get on board for that if Mako seemed like he would be, but he's already been turned into a cat and had water dumped on him, he could probably use a break.]

Ouch! [Is now comically hopping up and down as he grabs his knee] Looks like not. C'mon Mako- I thought it was pretty good!

What about the Purrfect? The Pawesome?

this is a clusterfuck and i don't even care 8D

[showmeyourwreath]

Maybe clawsome might be better. It's more fierce. [She makes a playful clawing motion with a hand as she says it.]

But are you okay?

[wilder]

Ha, yeah- maybe.

[He stops hopping and rubs his knee] Yeah, I think I'll be fine.

- What's with the caring about titles all the sudden? It's not like you call me by mine.

[showmeyourwreath]

Aww, I'd say maybe get that looked at, but that's actually your job.

[So if he says it's fine, it probably is.

Still, that can't have been fun.]

I care about everyone's titles, it's only respectful. And hey, I didn't know about yours until recently! How does it work as a common term of address? Does it just precede your name, or do people call you something like your excellency, instead?

[She's a little doubtful that Zelos would seriously push to have her use it at this point, but she can't help but be curious nonetheless.]

[wilder]

I wouldn't say it's my j- [You know what? Screw it. Too many words required to explain he doesn't have a doctorate or a job in the medical profession] - Nevermind. But yeah, I can take care of it no problem.

[Unlike...curing Mako of his catness.......]

[He sighs lightly. Manners are silly man. But yeah, he really doesn't care about being called his title. If anything, he prefers his name]

They just call me Chosen. Or Chosen One, if they're feeling extra formal.

[showmeyourwreath]

[Manners are super important!!

But she's not a huge stickler for formality if it's not called for it, either. Half her best friends are royalty, so while she means what she says next, her voice is also perfectly casual. She can go either way, it's no problem, she doesn't want to be disrespecting him unwittingly.]

So, did you want me to use your title at all? [Didn't he say there were a lot Chosens, though? Do they not use their names at all? It seems a little odd to her.]

[wilder]

Only if you wanna put "The Great and Sexy" in front of it!

[That would be a "No"]

[showmeyourwreath]

I think one of those things is more accurate than the other, but noted.

[wilder]

The sexy one, right?

Ahaha~! I knew it! ♥

[showmeyourwreath]

I don't know why I'm even the least bit surprised.

[They've already established that he's shameless.

Anyway, moving on.]

These feathers are really something, though.

[wilder]

That's the best topic change you can come up with?

[So lame]

But yeah, I guess so. Seem more like a pain than anything though.

[showmeyourwreath]

It's a perfectly valid subject! It's topical.

[Curious as she is, she has the mind not to ask what he'd rather talk about. She might regret it at the moment.]

Besides, I found a couple myself. [She scratches her cheek.] Though, they're a little bit different.

[wilder]

[STILL A LAME ONE.]

Bit different? How?

[showmeyourwreath]

[SORRY YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT STUFF!!

But to answer his question.

She seems to fiddle around with something and then vanishes from view, but a stream of fire appears, shooting upward]

That sort of different.

[Still invisible btw.]

[wilder]

[Watching, and-!]

...Huh!

[showmeyourwreath]

[The stream of fire stops and she's visible again.]

Yeah. Fire's a bit different for me. I didn't even mean to use it when I did, it sort of just happened.

[wilder]

Yeah yeah, I guess the fire thing for a Nature Fairy is strange- but did you see yourself go invisible?

Man, just think of all the things a person could do with a feather like that! ♪

1/3

[dat innocent fais]

2/4

[showmeyourwreath]

[...he wouldn't.]

3/4

[showmeyourwreath]

[Naaaaaah....]

4/4 i'm done

[showmeyourwreath]

[Her smile is bright and cheery! She won't assume the worst!!!]

Oh? Like what, Zelos?

[wilder]

[No, she probably should]

...I don't know. Wouldn't telling what I'd do defeat the whole point of being invisible?

[showmeyourwreath]

[Probably.]

It depends! If you were trying to sneak out in the middle of night or break into a palace or something along that vein where it could be hard to track even if you were visible, then not really unless someone took pre-preemptive measures. And, it wouldn't harm you in a fight either. So, enlighten me.

[wilder]

I dunno, Flora. Not sure it's wise to say...

[But he sure will make it pretty clear!]

Hey! Is it true that a lot of shardholders have to share a communal bath~?
