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 no that's adorable. ]

Just, seeing your impact on each other.

[ it's sweet, in a buzzkill sorta way. ]

[experiencepoints]

[She's so confused, but... This is good, right? This sounds good. (She still has to grapple with the idea that someone might think she has a good impact on anything, but.)]

You're starting to sound like Silver, and that is very worrying.

[winn]

[ it's good. he loves both of them dearly. ]

I dunno, sounds like this Silver person knew their stuff.

[experiencepoints]

I am going to pretend you didn't say that.

[she likes silver, but the idea of him knowing stuff is just too weird.]

[winn]

Now you have to give me context.

[experiencepoints]

Silver was a giant guy from the last interdimensional shithole who I knocked out a lot.

[winn]

Well, I'm no giant so knocking me out a lot would be bullying.

[experiencepoints]

You forget that I am a bully.

[winn]

You forget I know you.

[ and knows she wouldn't really hurt him. ]

[experiencepoints]

Oh? What do you know, then? I've done it to friends before, after all.

[SHE TOTALLY WOULD, SHE'S TOUGH AND BADASS, REALLY. (no.)]

[winn]

Friends who could take it.

[ HE BELIEVES IN YOU NIGHTINGALE, #DEALWITHIT. ]

[experiencepoints]

Do you really feel like taking that risk? Besides, Sleep magic doesn't do any HP damage.

[stop believing in me!!!!]

[winn]

You'd miss me too much.

[ never. ]

[experiencepoints]

What if I also miss peace and quiet?

[well now she is just in tsun mode for tsun's sake.]

[winn]

No you don't, you'd be bored out of your mind with nothing to complain about.

[experiencepoints]

I do more than just complain, you know. Maybe I could make progress in updating that old guide or get more into those books Opal got me.

[winn]

All this is just further proof you and Opal are meant to be.

[ shaking his head at her, both of them just won't admit defeat. ]

[experiencepoints]

[dammit winn now she's flustered again.]

Yeah- Well- I mean- Good?

[she knows how to do banter, but not how to handle people saying nice things.]

[winn]

[ ha! he found her cheat code~~ ]

Definitely.

[ he smiles. ]

Opal and I are gonna go caroling, wanna come with?

[experiencepoints]

[this is rude and cheating!!!]

... Um. Caroling...?

[winn]

[ hence the term 'cheat code' ]

Basically we're gonna sing Christmas songs at people.

[experiencepoints]

[well, now she seems suddenly very nervous.]

I'll go with you, but I don't sing.

[winn]

I'll take it.
