who left them unsupervised

[willynilly]

Who: Ochako & Fie / OTA
Broadcast: Video
Action: On Selvin-9
When: Dec 27ish


[The camera clicks on and is pulled back to reveal Ochako, with Fie behind her. They’re seated on a sled, and once Ochako has the comm where she wants it, she taps first the sled, then her clothes, and then Fie’s shoulder, and reaches up to grasp the rope at the front of the sled, hands braced on the wood frame.]

Okay, I’m ready! Are you ready?

Yep.

Right. Here goes- Collab move Shooting Star, attempt #1, counting down! 3… 2… 1… GO!

[There’s a sudden rush of movement as they push the sled off the hill, and together they go down, down, down, down. Ochako twists the camera around to show the view, and at the base of the hill there’s a… cliff? Yeah, that’s totally a cliff that they’re careening towards with no sign of stopping. They’re picking up speed, actually. Closer-- closer--

At the last second Ochako twists the camera around again. She’s laughing, and the sled pitches upwards as they go flying off the edge.]

Blast off!

[The cliff behind them vanishes - no, explodes, a burst of fire and splashing fluff stretching out behind them - and off they go, soaring through the air at record speed. A flying sled.

Yep, that just happened.]

Best. Birthday. Ever!!

Hey! I said 'sure'!

[sylphid]

It wasn't convincing.

[airily]

I guess I haven't really explored it that much.

[sylphid]

Weird. Since when do wind people like being cooped up on space ships?

[airily]

When wind people have got their own room with plants and stuff.

[sylphid]

That's still super depressing.

[airily]

It is not! Don't be rude!

[sylphid]

It's not rude. It's honest.

[airily]

There's nothing wrong with my plants!

[sylphid]

[Fie clears her throat and speaks in a deeper voice that is obviously supposed to be mocking him.]

Hi, I'm an invisible wind man and instead of exploring the wide open skies, I prefer to stay in my small metal room with no windows and tiny tiny plants.

[airily]

Hey, I like my plants. [ Scoff. ] And I've been outside!

[sylphid]

I like plants, too, but I still go out.

Be outside more.

[airily]

Are you asking me out, Fie?

[sylphid]

You caught me.

[airily]

[ And now he's laughing. ]

Aren't you a little young, huh?

[sylphid]

Excuse me, I'm a fair maiden capable of doing what she desires.

[But she snorts.]

You've got a week to come up with something fun or I'll drag you outside myself.

[airily]

What counts as 'fun'?

[sylphid]

Something you'll enjoy doing with me outside.

[She cares, okay.]

[airily]

[ HMMMMMM. ]

We could build a snowman.

[sylphid]

We could. If you wanted.

[airily]

Then why don't we go and do that?

[sylphid]

No quickly putting it together with wind to get out of it, either.

[airily]

Pfft, that's boring anyway!

[sylphid]

Glad we agree.

[airily]

Where we gonna do this?
