[video] LOCKED: Touma and Shin

[amomentofsympathy]

[Nasuti is in her apartment's kitchen, donning an apron and traveling between different pots and pans on the stove. Her hair is tied back into a high ponytail. With her free hand, she starts up a video, silently hoping for an answer sooner rather than later. She hadn't anticipated cooking this much for just herself...]

Shin, Touma? Dinner tonight, my place?

[She hadn't talked to Shin since Sirius left. Maybe having the three of them together could cheer him up a bit.]

003 // Tortoise Beats Hare \\ Video

[hecklinghare]

[The feed turns on to show a rather focused looking bunny. He has his little pink tongue stuck out as he concentrates on moving the camera around. The feed shifts slowly as he fixes the angle to show a close up of his thought bubble.

Bugs is pretty used to these so while the feed isn't on him he relaxes and stares up at the bubble.

Inside is a smaller version of Bugs in a large white room. After a moment the smaller rabbit pulls out a sign. "Ready when you are, doc." He looks annoyed.]

Alrigh' Vatee-on. Dis whole bubble ting is makin' everyone gloomy. An' considerin' we are in a tropical paradise, dat don't fit da settin'.

[The Bubble Bugs rolls his eyes and taps his foot, looking down at where his real counter part is off screen. Another glance up at the 'camera' and another sign pops out "I promise folks. It's a short intro."]

Yeah, yeah. Anyways. I figured I'd use dis ting to show you dat thought bubbles ain't so bad once you get the hang of it. So.]

[The sound in the bubble kicks in and the Bubble Bugs clears his throat before jumping up and pulling down a movie screen. Then this starts to play. Complete with credits. When it ends the screen rolls up and Bubble Bugs grins.]

"And dat's the end."

[The camera shifts to normal Bugs laying comfortably on the ground. He shrugs.]

Good night Folks.

[And shuts off the feed]

[ Mindfang is very, very obviously drunk when the video comes on. Her face is flushed very blue, and her smile is lacking its usual malicious edge. Her thoughtbubble is pretty much bouncing around, glowing a soft sky blue color - her paranoid side is subdued right now.

The SFC feed pans up to reveal she's also kind of lounging on Darkleer's lap. Darkleer is also incredibly drunk. ]

Heeeeeeeey, Gamzee. Equius. Those're the right names, right?

Mindfang. [Darkleer sounds distinctly scandalized. Also drunk. Was that mentioned?]

Yeah so we are out drinking! We have a giant mechanical spider to ride and a whole lot of beach to travel! And he was whining about oh noooooooo he can't just leave you guys so. Yeah! That's where we are. The island. It's pretty great.

Mindfang!

[ She adjusts the SFC back to her face, staring at it as intensely as her inebriation will allow. ]

And yyyou. Lysunder. He wanted to tell you too. Chiron. Chi-ron-us. He was worried about you. You guys have stuff to talk about and you'd better be good to him, okay? So. Yeah. You should do that soon! The talking thing, I mean.

Inansa! [Facepalming! Also crud broke his glasses by accident.]

Okay I'm done. How do I make this thing all fancy and private now?



[ Cerulean is Mindfang, navy is Darkleer. Takes place after this. ]

I. Power and might [Text]

[One thing about Councillor Gorthan is that he is still very unsure about Vatheon and its people, and in general doesn't like hanging outside very often. Also because he may find himself getting hungry for the residents' emotions, and he is trying to maintain a low profile for the moment.

So here, Vatheon, have a short, simple text.]

Is anybody here able to recommend any good books?

I am particularly interested in poetry, philosophy and epics.
