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?

Comments

[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! ♪

[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~?

[showmeyourwreath]

[She puts her hands on her hips and takes a tone that suggests that she would love nothing more than to drag him away by the ear right about now.]

Zelos Wilder, don't you even think about doing something like that!

[wilder]

What? What?

It's an innocent question!

[No it's not. He knows damn well it's not]

[showmeyourwreath]

Oh right, that's you, the big paragon of virtue.

[If she rolls her eyes any other, they'll fall out of her head.]

[wilder]

Of course! I'm a downright angel! A saint, even!

[A beat]

So...about how common are these invisibility feathers?

[showmeyourwreath]

[OH OH SHE KNOWS WHAT SAINTS ARE! SHE GETS THIS REMARK!]

Patron Saint of Peeping, maybe.

[This guy.]

Oh yes, I'll get right on answering that after hearing your pure and virtuous intentions! [She hmphs, then adds.] Forget it. I am not telling. You have legs, don't you?

[wilder]

Oh hey! You actually got a reference all on your own!

[GOOD FOR YOU GIRL]

Aw man, that's no fun. [Even though he 100% expected it] What do my legs gotta do with anything?

laughs2self

[showmeyourwreath]

Thanks!

[Yes!! Like a proud student, she starts to sm--HEY NO WAIT BUDDY SHE'S STILL PEEVED AT YOU! >8( ]

You could use those legs to look for yourself.

[SHOCKING]

[wilder]

[SUCH A GOOD LITTLE HONOR STUDENT.]

So...you're encouraging me to look for some invisibility feathers?

[he whistles] Wouldn't have pegged you to be into that sorta thing, but I guess people can always surprise you.

[showmeyourwreath]

[TY PROFESSOR PERV /o/]

I'm not encouraging you! I just won't play a helping part in it! I'm not into sneaking in on like people like that! That's terrible!

[She'll do other things, but not that.]

[wilder]

[And he responds by...laughing]

Man, you're fun to rile up.

[showmeyourwreath]

And you're something else, you know that?

[She pouts frowns and blushes lightly because she's starting to think she's been had, but she can't be all that grumpy about it. He has a nice laugh. The fact that it's at her expense should only sour her further, but it doesn't.

She exhales deeply, and while she's not quite smiling, she's not frowning, either.]

I think you need other hobbies.

[wilder]

Heh, yeah. I get told that a lot.

[And he shrugs!]

Please, like I have time for hobbies.
