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!!

[willynilly]

Hmmmm, any questions...

["what do you look like" feels a bit too obvious. plus she already has an invisible friend back home, so appearance is kinda secondary, anyway.]

You said you get magic and can go fast... what kind of magic can you do?

[airily]

[ As if Zaveid would be upset about describing his hot bod - ]

Wind magic. I use pendulums and make the wind do stuff.

[willynilly]

Pendulums? Like- the hangy-weight things? I've never heard of anybody using those for weapons.

[That's actually pretty cool to envision.]

[airily]

Yeah, but I kinda use 'em like whips. It works far better than you're imagining.

[willynilly]

Whip-pendulums, huh... do you think I could see it one day?

[airily]

Sure, if you can see me.

[willynilly]

...oh...

[shit that's right]

Iiiiiii don't think I can.

[airily]

Aww. [ And he sounds genuinely upset. ] Hm. Maybe if we hang enough you'll be able to. Happened to Fie.

[willynilly]

Maybe! We should try it. I haven't really been around seraphim - at least, not that I know it - so I've never noticed before.

[airily]

How about when me and Fie go make our snowman you come with?

[willynilly]

Ooh! You don't mind?

[that could be fun! and if she can't see him she'll just, uh. float snow over or something.]

[airily]

Nah, it'll be fun. Besides, I've been told I need to get out more.

[willynilly]

Oh, are you shy?

[he doesn't sound it, but who really knows with these comm thingys. maybe it's an in-person issue.]

[airily]

Nah. Just lazy.

[ And incredibly anti social after centuries of isolation, but. ]

[willynilly]

Ooooh, I get you. Sometimes it's hard to get out of bed, or leave the house... but if you need help with that, we can do that! I'll float you out if that's what it takes.

[congrats Zaveid you're arranging your own abduction]

[airily]

How you gonna float a man you can't see, huh?

[willynilly]

I can ask Fie to show me!

[airily]

Aw, damn... You got me.

[willynilly]

Hee.

[VICTORY]

And if I can't see you, then I'll just get Fie or Sorey to draw a picture of you! So no worries.

[airily]

Better trust Sorey on that one. I dunno what Fie might say...

[willynilly]

Ooh! Or I could get them both to draw you and compare the two!

[mostly because if fie's is purposefully off this could be hilarious]

[airily]

... I'd kinda like to see that.

[willynilly]

Okay, then it's settled!! The seraph sketch contest is a go!

[this is of course assuming she can get either of them to do it, but.]
