27 ♐ Video ♐ Loss and Gain

[It's sometime at the end of Friday that Darkleer makes this post. He didn't want to ruin the festival for anyone beforehand, but now that it's coming to close, he thinks it's a decent time. For once, Darkleer is appearing on the network without his glasses willingly. He's honestly an open book without them- blue on yellow eyes filled with a bit of sadness, loss, and tiredness. Normally he wouldn't take off his glasses for anything, but- she was his auspitice. She deserves his all, even if...]

Princess Zelda of Hyrule is no long in Vatheon. I imagine many of you knew her, as she was well engaged in much of the community, including the Welcoming Committee and crafting the tunics which assist in breathing underwater. It is also thanks to her that we have been able to find out more about our situation trapped in Vatheon. She was an excellent leader, a keen and intelligent woman, and the finest auspitice one could have asked for. We will all be blessed if she is brought back to Vatheon at some point in the future, yet even if not, we were all fortunate to have her in our midst. I doubt I can take her place, but if you have any questions about Vatheon and its purpose, I will do my best to answer you.

Coincidentally, if there is anyone in Vatheon who possesses a calm head, knows how to settle disputes evenly, and isn't afraid of clowns, please contact me.

Mr. Captor, I would also like to speak with you.

[There's a moment of silence, and then he takes a breath before reaching down for his glasses. He puts them on again and feels the better for it.]

With all of that said, Vatheon, I would like to make you all an offer. In order for this to make sense, however, please allow me to explain a device known as a syalladex.

[Behind Darkleer, what almost looks like a stack of pecular cards pops into existence. The top one seems to show a picture of a bag of bird seed.]

On Alternia, every troll has a sylladex, which is a storage system you carry with you everywhere. It is composed of captchalogue cards which are organized into a deck, a fetch modus, and a strife deck.

The captchalogue cards are where you store your items. You can often find them for sale in the Nostalgia Quarter. The number of items you can hold in your sylladex depends on the number of cards you have, although you can store multiple objects in one card so long as they are similar in nature or purpose.

[He gestures to his deck, which seems to shuffle until another card is on the front. Are those.... Is it a picture full of robotic hoofbeasts? Yes. Yes it is.]

You should be warned that if you do such a thing, then you must bring out all of the items stored on the card even if you wish to retrieve just one.

The size of the item you wish to store is limited, and I would not recommend attempting to store your hive in it. That would be silly. However, depending on the type and quality of your sylladex, you can store large items in it. If you are not sure what kind of items you are capable of storing inside of it, please contact me and I will advise you.

Now we will move onto the Fetch Modus portion of the sylladex. Fetch modi are the methods in which your cards are organized and in what fashion you can retrieve them. There are a variety of fetch modi, as many prefer something which suits their personality or preferences. For the purpose of this demonstration, I have equipped my sylladex with the Array fetch modus, which allows me to pull an item from any of my cards without much fuss. You can equip your sylladex with multiple fetch modi if you so choose. For example, I often use this particular fetch modus.

[He kind of just... reaches over to grab his cards, fiddles with the back for a second, and- pop! The cards are now a different color, what do you know. The deck shuffles again until the card shows, for a moment, a stack of freshly laundered towels. It then immediately shows a screen of a chalkboard with what appears to be a very complex math equation. Darkleer lets it be shown for just a moment before seeming to nod slightly and out pop a whole pile of towels.]

I will attach a document with this broadcast with a list and explanation of a few more fetch modi types. This is not a complete list, and if you have a different idea for a kind of fetch modus that would suit you, I am willing to listen.

Lastly, we have the strife deck, which contains its own specibus. This is where you store the weapons you use for battle, although it should be noted that a deck only contains one particular weapon of its kind.

I am explaining this to all of you because I have made quite a few sylladice during my stay in Vatheon for a few individuals not from Alternia. After the disaster of the flooding, I thought it would be prudent to distribute them out.

If you are interested in possessing a sylladex, please respond to this broadcast and we can work out the details. If you wish to pay me in some manner, I will accept it.


[After the post completes itself, a document containing a list of different kinds of fetch modi becomes available.]

[Ahh, that reaction was priceless.]

Okay, so what I'm getting here is that you're in a hatemance relationship with an asshole clown but you don't wanna do the nasty, so you need a middleman to cockblock you both. That sound about right?

Whoah now. I'm just stating truths, man. Making sure I've got my facts straight and all that. 'Sides, I didn't think you were such a prude.

In that case, I must offer my most humble apologies, good sir. It was only in jest.

[Is that a British accent he's talking in? It sure is.]

[Oh fine, he'll stop.]

Still only in good-natured fun, man. I do that sometimes. It's like a spasm. Can't control it. [Yes he can. He totally can. He just doesn't want to.]

[There's another question on his mind and while he knows he's better off just ignoring this whole ordeal, morbid curiosity gets the best of him yet again.]

Hang on, if it's a hate romance involving three people, does that mean the third person needs to have romantic hate feelings for the both of you? Or just one of you? Or...?

Right. Uh. [He can't believe he's saying this, but...] If you can't find anyone else in this whole damn bubble and things get too hot to handle, just hit me up and I can play referee. I mean, I dunno if I actually wanna be an auspitice 'cause I don't wanna get sucked into too much weird romance bullshit, but I can at least stop you two kids from pulling each other's hair and all that. Something tells me things get real ugly when two huge trolls start duking it out.

Yeah, really. [He rubs a hand past his face in weary manner.]

You wouldn't be askin' around on a public network if you weren't desperate to find someone. 'Sides, it's a good excuse to kick fat clown ass. I hear he's got plenty of butt worth whooping. But you'd better think twice before accepting the offer, 'cause I won't hesitate to wreck your shit if you can't keep that hateboner in your pants either.

Sounds cool. Just so you know, I'm not gonna go around keepin' an eye on both of you. I've got a life that needs most of my attention. But yeah, if I see you two caught in a showdown of sadomasochistic tension, I'm steppin' in.

Lemme know if you find a legit auspitice and I'll relinquish my duties.

That ain't surprising. Clowns already make people uncomfortable. In fact, there's suckers out there who have legit phobias. Comes from watching Stephen King's shitty clown movie when you're just a kid. If said clowns are huge, violent assholes who can flashstep, it gets pretty damn close to nightmare fuel.
