Who: opal, nightingale, and you
Broadcast: video!
Action: on the pathstone
When: now!

[When the feed turns on, it’s focused on... so many Christmas sweaters laying on a bed. There are more, hidden beneath those four and out of view of the camera; from what can be seen, it looks like there are at least three or four more. The camera swings around to two girls, one of whom has the most deadpan look on her face.]

I officially hate sponsor drops. I want none of this.

[The other one just looks kind of confused.]

I’m pretty sure this is another Earth reference or something that I’m missing here. What the fuck is wrong with Earth?

[It earns a snort out of Opal.]

There are many things wrong with Earth, and all of them are a long story. Don’t worry about it. Anyways, the point is that someone should come here and take these away because every single one is kind of the worst thing ever? Save us.

Either that or we can throw them out into space. That’s an option too. There’s a sun nearby to hurl these into, right?

[She sounds dead serious about this.]

...Maybe we should at least see if anyone wants them before we toss them into a sun? [But, she smiles.] I am totally saving shoving them out of an airlock as a plan B, though. Thank you for that.

[She glances back at the camera for a moment, though, giving the feed a Look.]

Seriously, though, get these far enough away that I never have to see them again.

[ooc: blue is opal, purple is nightingale!]

Oh! Oh!!

[ Don't look now, guys: Aoko's practically bouncing ]

They're so cute! Aoko will take one!

[robitussin]

If I give you one you're going to wear it around me, aren't you.

[bluediligence]

That's not such a bad thing, right?

And anyway, even if you hate them, you have to admit that it'd be funny to see Kaito wearing one. So maybe I'll take two, instead?

[robitussin]

Define bad.

...Will he actually agree to wear one?

[bluediligence]

You'd only have to see it sometimes instead of all the time.

[ Her grin turns devious. ]

I'm his girlfriend, he doesn't have to agree.

[robitussin]

...Sold. You get two.

[bluediligence]

[ Flashes a peace sign, grinning brightly enough that she could probably power a ship purely via the power of her enthusiasm. ]

Thanks, Opal! You're the best.

[robitussin]

I know I am.

...You have to take a picture of his expression when he first sees it and send it to me.

[bluediligence]

I'd give you a high-five if you weren't on the other side of a video screen.

[ She laughs, hand over her mouth. ]

I'll take a bunch, don't worry!

[robitussin]

We are definitely high fiving in spirit.

You should post them on the network and see what he does.

[bluediligence]

[ Strokes her chin thoughtfully ]

He may never forgive me.

[ She doesn't say it like it's such a bad thing. ]

[robitussin]

You don't sound too torn up about that, really.

[bluediligence]

Some sacrifices are worth making.

[ Making Kaito's life hard is just that important to her, okay. Nobody should judge. He deserves it. ]

[experiencepoints]

..... Did you just call them cute?

[bluediligence]

Yup! They're adorable!

[ She has the best taste, clearly. ]

[experiencepoints]

Aoko, why.

[bluediligence]

What! You really don't think so?

[ She mock pouts. ] They always look like they're trying so hard.

[experiencepoints]

They are ugly, dumb, and I am going to hurl them into the nearest sun.

[bluediligence]

Noooo! Nightingale-san, don't do it! It'd be such a waste!

[experiencepoints]

Give me one good reason not to.

[bluediligence]

Because I can use one of them to make Kaito's life a misery!

[ She clasps her hands in front of herself, head ducked down pleadingly. ]

Please let me keep two!

[experiencepoints]

...

Okay, that's actually a very good reason. Take as many as you want.

[bluediligence]

[ She pops her head up, wide-eyed, a slow, beaming grin spreading across her face. ]

As many as I want? You really mean it?

[experiencepoints]

As many as Opal says is okay, anyway. She might have negotiated some away, already.

[bluediligence]

I'll talk to her!

[ Punches the air, wooping joyously. ]

Opal knows a good cause when she sees one!
