A promise made is a promise kept. Even... weird ones.

Who: Maglor and you
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Huntress
When: Now

[ The video flips on to Maglor carefully setting his communicator down. He waves at the camera. ]

This is for Vash.

[ He tells everyone cheerfully and then backs away, gesturing behind him, to where a vuvuzela sits calmly on a table. Nothing special to see here. He walks away, from the communicator, picks up the vuvuzela, and then the shappy mop of pink on the table, that turns out to be a wig. He straps that to the vuvuzela, comes back and picks up the communicator, and starts to walk ]

As requested, we are conducting an experiment, to see if the wig stays on.

[ He stops by the airlock, where there is a bit of fumbling around, and then the vuvuzela, complete with wig, is shown drifting off into space. The communicator stays on it until it's vanished into the distance. And then Maglor turns around, and you can hear him sigh.

The same vuvuzela, complete with wig, is lying on the floor behind him ]

And now we know.

[ CLICK. Yes. That's literally the entire reason for this post. Blame Vash. ]

[When Vash had told Maglor to put a wig on an instrument he wasn't surprised that he actually did it.

He was surprised that he chose to broadcast the whole thing out to everyone. A delighted surprise that makes him howl with laughter.]

I'm not sure I could have picked a better wig myself!!! HAHAHA HAHA!!!! Oh man! That's great!

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor grins and bows, an unnecessarily theatrical flourish - but he's a performer, at heart. Always has been, and this, he still loves to do. ]

I am glad it meets your approval!

[goldenglasses]

Oh, it does! It does! Hey! Space is really cold right? Is the wig cold at all? I mean, don't get frost burn or anything, but can you see ice or anything on it?

[bythewaves]

[ Maglor considers and then trots over to examine it ]

No, I can't see anything. But then again, ice would require moisture, no? I don't think there was much on the vuvuzela.

[goldenglasses]

We should think of more things to attach to it! What about a really heavy weight?

[bythewaves]

I suppose... but that might make it hard to eject out the airlock.

[goldenglasses]

But maybe you can make it heavy enough to keep it from following you. Or have you tried that already?

[castintoflames]

How could you, Kano? (The poor little vuvuzela!)

[bythewaves]

[ Innocent smiles ]

How could I what?

[castintoflames]

Embarrass the poor thing and send it into space!

[bythewaves]

Vash wanted to know!

[castintoflames]

Then he should be ashamed too! (Just give him the poor little thing. One of his ears is messed up anyway.)

[ Giggling on the inside ]

Inanimate object! Besides, considering how it keeps appearing and disappearing, even if I gave it to you, I'm sure it'd just turn up somewhere else.

I'm going to set it on fire if it shows up anywhere on Twin Roses.

[He swears to the Light, he will.]

[bythewaves]

So far, it seems confined to the Huntress and... well. Me.

[ Maglor's lips twitch in amusement ]

[touchallthebooks]

So far.

[Khadgar isn't so naive as to believe it won't push its boundaries sooner or later.]

It felt fair to warn you. In case you find a lump of melted plastic one day.

[ Maglor snorts in amusement ]

If you can get it to stay that way, my friend, you are welcome to try! But not where my brother can see.

audio

[touchallthebooks]

I don't plan on flaunting the fact that I... killed? A possessed instrument. SO I think your brother will be alright. If it comes down to it, we can find one that won't harass the crews.

[bythewaves]

I would rather we just got rid of it entirely! It has no particular value to it, so far as I can tell.

[tempredmental]

That thing needs to go.

[bythewaves]

You will have to fight my brother for that! He's decided to adopt it and try to train it.

[tempredmental]

[Keith looked miserable at the idea.]

Why the cheese would he do that?

[bythewaves]

Maedhros wants to try and train it. [ Maglor shrugs ]

I think it's some sort of prank by our sponsors, but he's of the opinion it might actually be alive.

[tempredmental]

Train it to do what?

[bythewaves]

To behave, I think!
