19 ♐ Video ♐ Horse-herding Cat

[aim_exorable]

[Action; Disciple only]

[It's just like any other day for Darkleer. He's just locked himself away in his room for the most part while Summoner slumbers away on his bed. After his matesprit had been kidnapped by the Highblood, he's been even more reluctant to leave his side.]

[So he simply sits at his workbench, sketching out the designs for the hive next door that they are going to steal expand to.]

[Unfortunately, he has no idea that an oliveblooded cat is slowly making her way to him and shenanigans will happen...]

[Video]

[Some time after those shenanigans, Darkleer appears on the network.]

[A very sheepish Darkleer, as a matter of fact, his hand lowering after giving some of his long hair a firm nervous tug. His shoulders are kind of tense.]

Ahem. So.

[A pause. Suddenly, somewhere from off-screen, a pair of hands start to bat at his arm which only makes him shrink back a bit more. Anyone familiar with Disciple may be able to identify those hands and arms as hers.]

I'm doing it, I'm doing it-! Ngh. [A small sigh.] Is... there anyone who is free today who would like to do something?

...That is out of my respite block.

...And my hive.

[On the other side of the video feed is a darkness...

But upon backing up, it reveals itself to be the (relatively) harmless nostril of a red-striped puppy.]

Arf! [This one is always up for hangouts!]

[aim_exorable]

[Oh! It is the little woofbeast from the masquerade ball. Darkleer actually smiles a little.]

Where might I find you, then?

[He lifts his SFC, turning it around to show that he's in the plaza. Around him are several cans of paint, and beyond that one of the fountains appears to be completely covered in colorful pawprints.

He's, uh. He's been painting, y'see!]

[video]

[aim_exorable]

I see.

I'm not very good at painting, but... I suppose I can give it a try.

[He guesses???? Okay he is starting to move there.]

[dualbladewarrior]

... I suppose being social for once wouldn't hurt.

[He's totally doing this by his own volition, this has nothing to do with Cheria getting on his case about making friends that aren't from his world.]

[aim_exorable]

[No, see, he recognizes the signs of a fellow person being forced out of his house. He sees.]

You were interested in other things to do with trolls, weren't you?

[dualbladewarrior]

[It's a terrible state to be in, isn't it?]

Yes, I was.

[lawesome]

Young pale love. How inspiring.

[aim_exorable]

[Sloooooowly raising an eyebrow.]

I'm sorry, you're quite mistaken.

[lawesome]

Am I now?

[She is grinning.]

[bestestfurrend]

[Nothing but a video feed with Nepeta wearing this look.]

[aim_exorable]

[Nothing but a video feed with Darkleer wearing this look.]

[bestestfurrend]

Are you and my Mamacat having fun together ofur there, Dadleer?

[feralfanatic]

[Disciple had been worried about the blueblood. His matesprit was still unconscious with no sign of waking up, and she was pretty sure he had been playing the hermit since Lysunder went under; That would not do.]

[She would go make sure he got out some time to relax, she would guard his sleeping beauty. She was just gonna be at her hive reading today anyways, why not at his instead?]

[She quickly packs a small picnic basket of goodies as added incentive to get him out of his hive. Once it is ready and stowed, she is on her way to his hive. She was not going to give him fair warning, it needed to be an ambush or he would have time to make excuses. Shortly thereafter, she is knocking at the front door of the hive.]

[aim_exorable]

[Initially, he just waits for one of the boys to get it like they do. It's usually one of their friends, anyway. Darkleer's friends? What friends? At least, he doesn't know anyone who he could imagine coming to his hive to find him.]

[After a few minutes, he starts to realize that no one is answering the door. Carefully, he goes to pick Summoner up in his arms like a teddy bear before venturing down the stairs and to the front door.]

[It's a very bewildered blueblood that answers the door.]

...Disciple? Can I help you? I am afraid Nepeta is not here...

[feralfanatic]

[And the door opens, and he is holding him... she should have known. Before speaking she]

I am not looking for Nepeta, Darkleer.

[Disciple has on her determined face as she pushes past him into the hive.]

I am here to kick you out of your hive.

You have been cooped up in here for too long watching Summoner. I understand why you are worried leaving him alone, so that is why I am so graciously offering my day to watch over him so you can go outside and relax, you deserve it.

[She smiles good-naturedly, but her eyes betray her current headstrong mood.]

This is not negotiable, by the way.

[Brooklyn looks puzzled when the feed opens, and a talon rubs at the side of his head.]

You saying you never leave your house?

[Of course he'd gotten the impression that Darkleer was introverted before, and yeah, a bit of a shut-in. But this was a little...theatrical.]

[Video]

[aim_exorable]

Only recently!

[Honestly!]

[...Okay no even he knows that he could and has stayed isolated and be pretty darn content. Shoosh.]

I have been watching over someone who has fallen into one of Vatheon's strange comas. Considering that the second I turned my back, his unconscious body was kidnapped, I believe myself completely justified in this.

[Video]

[mrfastandsteady]

Right, you told me about that.

[He thinks he recalls urging the guy to go out back then too, but his judgement's telling him to not bring that up.]

But that was a while ago. How long has he been out?

[And why would somebody want to kidnap a guy in a coma...?]

[hecklinghare]

[Amused Bunny is amused.]

Someone proddin' ya back inta da social woirld, doc?

[Video]

[aim_exorable]

This is a distinct possibility.

Re: [Video]

[hecklinghare]

Aw, we missed ya too, kid.

[Poor Darkleer.]

Soooo, how's it goin'?

[crabbygenius]

Is someone finally forcing you to leave the house?

[aim_exorable]

To my misfortune.

[crabbygenius]

[Snickers.]

Oh I wouldn't say that~. Even I agree it's a good thing to get out every once in awhile. So who's doing the dragging?
