[Truth be told, Zelda is a little worried about the pile that's occurred on her couch. Zelos, Dhaos, and Duke all simply refuse to move. She's tried urging them gently to at least move up to their respective beds, but to no avail. Time to try another tactic! When the video comes on, it reveals all three men with their hair braided together. She'd threatened to turn on the SFC and that's exactly what she's done. She holds up one of the braids, a white and red mixture created by braiding Duke and Zelos's hair together. It rather resembles a candy cane.]

I seem to have three incredibly unmotivated friends on my couch, here. Is anyone else experiencing something like this?

[She waves the braid.]

Not that it's all terrible. Look how cute they are!

[Aww, such a cute pile.]

[Even if Dhaos had been awake he probably wouldn't have protested. He'd spent enough time with children that this sort of thing doesn't bother him anymore. As it is though, he simply curls up a little more in his sleep, oblivious to the cuddle pile, braiding, and being filmed.]

[chosen_gigolo]

Zelllldddaaaa

[That is, if Dhaos can sleep through Zelos' elongated and childish whine.]

You're messing it up!

[You see this? This is a lazy pouting Chosen.]

[video]

[aim_exorable]

[...Huh.]

You are quite creative, Miss Zelda.

[video]

[zelda_hylia]

I thought the embarrassment might get them moving somewhat, but it appears that's not the case.

[So rather than be worried uselessly, she'll just start on a braid with all three of them. Now it's like strawberry lemonade!

Clearly, Zelda was not affected by the kindness virtue also running around today.]

[crackpotcrocker]

Slackers! What's with them? Aren't they usually out and about?

[zelda_hylia]

Usually, yes.

[And at that she starts tying ribbons at the ends of their hair.]

This isn't normal behavior for any of them.

[dragongrass]

How lovely!

[It does look very nice. Lenna seems very impressed.]

And when they do finally get up, they won't get separated from each other!

[zelda_hylia]

Oh yes, they'll never lose each other now. They can be this close forever!

[The lilt at the end of her statement is the only indication that the idea makes her want to burst out into laughter. Zelos doesn't even like Duke and Dhaos, after all!]

[dotthedisconnect]

Just the person I wanted to speak to. My apologies if this is off subject--and you look like you've got your hands full, heh--but it's about the coral.

If my readings are right, it seems like your running theory is going to need some adjustment.

[Video]

[zelda_hylia]

No need to apologize.

[She nods as he continues speaking.]

I'm getting low levels as well - comparatively, at least. There's never been a curse at this level before. Of course, now that the High Priestess has returned, we'll likely have to rework everything. She seems to have some power over the coral.

[Video]

[tinypinkmenace]

Wow, that's a really pretty looking braid. I think if you added little flowers or little bow, it would make the braid even prettier!

[Video]

[zelda_hylia]

That's an excellent idea, miss.

[Zelda does keep a ribbon on her in case she needs to tie her own hair up, after all. The princess produces a light pink ribbon and ties it artfully at the end of Duke and Zelos's braid.]

[relinquishing]

[...

...





Okay, that wasn't what Guy was expecting to see at all

So um.

Pardon as he fights back a very amused expression.]

Hahahaha.... Ahh, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one babysitting some couch potatoes...!

[video]

[zelda_hylia]

Hello, Guy. Has Luke been affected as well?

[She looks quite relieved to hear that someone else is experiencing this. If that's the case, she can just relax!]

video;

[keepsthefire]

[Well. That's... certainly not how Rin ever expected to see his boss and coworkers, but after the night he had it's good for a laugh at least.

He starts the video intending to say something about it, but it just dissolves in to giggles and snickering for a minute before he can finally regain his composure.]

N-nice couch decorations, Zelda... they're so pretty~!

[... nope. Can't do it. Cracking up completely now.]

video;

[zelda_hylia]

Aren't they just? If I had a hand with makeup, I would attempt that as well.

[Judging from the absolutely wicked expression on her face, she's not joking.]

[Video]

[mad_puppeteer]

Hmmm.

[Relius stares at the camera with a hand on his chin for a moment. Perhaps he's admiring the braidwork. Maybe it's something else. Either way, the man in the mask finally speaks.]

Perhaps we can run a test of their level of laziness.

[Video]

[zelda_hylia]

[She pauses before answering this one.]

I don't think a test is necessary. If this truly is a curse, they're likely to be extremely lazy.

video; and she's commenting after experiencing sloth Rita 8D;

[ofthefullmoon]

Actually, yes ... Rita seems to be in much of the same state.

[ She looks really amused at the braid, though. ]

It's so pretty! Zelos and Duke's hair in particular complement each other quite well.

video

[zelda_hylia]

It looks like some sort of candy, doesn't it? Duke is usually fairly complacent like this, but I can never get Zelos to sit this still.

[She's wanted to play with his hair before, too!]

video

[radiantwingedone]

[ This is Duke making a lazy rumble grumble. He didn't notice Zelda had braided his hair to Zelos's...

Not sure if he can dredge up enough motivation to disapprove more than that. ]

[Video]

[fightforastar]

[Tifa's amused in spite of herself, but managing not to laugh.]

You're being nicer than I might've been. Scissors are awfully tempting sometimes.

[Video]

[chosen_gigolo]

Don't be cruel, Tifa-hunny!

[video]

[trust_the_fuckhead]

[Spider turns on the sfc, not bothering to switch to his usual text mode. He's in his easy chair, slumped into it with a terrible posture. At least he's dressed... well, mostly dressed. Boxer shorts and a T-shirt.]

Yeah. They, uh, motivation issues. I'm hit with that myself. Lucky I'm immune to that, Zelda.

[He gestures at the camera, as if pointing to the three on the couch. A wildly ineffective gesture, but perhaps it gets the point across.]

This curse or whatever is a pain in the ass, by the way.

[video]

[zelda_hylia]

Immune to it? Why is that?

[He can't just say that he's afflicted and then say that he's also immune in one breath without explaining himself! She has to know these things!]
