Who: Sorey, Mikleo & y'all!!!
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Selvin-9
When: Early January


[The video starts out jostling and blurry, like some kind of snowed-in Blair Witch project. There’s even screaming- oh no, that’s just excited screaming, and it’s more like breathless squeaks than screams.]

Mikleo- Mikleo! Get it get the- you got it?

I’ve got it. I still think this is ridiculous…

[There’s a jostling movement as the communicator is transferred from one to the other, and for a moment it lingers on a seemingly-empty wolf kigu, its wearer invisible but sounding as unimpressed as the costume’s expression. It’s gone in a flash, and Sorey suddenly darts into view, wearing a goblin kigu, running through the snow with the clumsiness of a person unaccustomed to winter weather, over to a truly ugly snow sled…with wheels.]

Do you see this?! [Sorey seems unable to contain himself, gleeful and giddy, posing in front of the sled with a peace sign in front of a rental shop on the slope.] This is the coolest thing ever- ohhh, I wish we could buy it!

[Sorey suddenly gets closer to the camera, grinning a grin that precludes any rational decision-making.] Hey Keith! I challenge you to a sled race! Or anybody, anybody who’s game! I’ll bet rental fees and hot chocolate that I can beat you!

[There’s a long-suffering sigh - albeit mildly affectionate - from behind the camera. Mikleo’s done this song and dance before, it’s old hat.]

I'm the goblin king! And this is my cart, and I'm gonna put an ice cannon on it.

[the_tailor]

Ok, goblin king. This otter is gonna kick your butt. And hey, ice cannons are my thing! ...or, they were my thing...

[NOPE. Nope, not going to get sad about that now.]

You know that means I'm going to need an ice cannon too and we're going to have to duke it out.

[monolike]

I will ask the fiendish Lord Mikleo if he will bless us with ice cannons. [somebody bouta get they ass whooped]

[the_tailor]

You know, calling your boyfriend fiendish is probably a fast one way track to the dog house.

[tempredmental]

Have you tried?

[the_tailor]

I enjoy our cuddly sleeping sessions waaaaay too much to risk that.

[tempredmental]

Gotcha. I'll keep that in mind if I need to punish you for something.

[TEASING.]

[the_tailor]

Keeeiiiiiiiith!

[tempredmental]

Too late.

[He was so amused right now.]

[monolike]

[he sees that down there]

Are you and Keith dating, Lance?! I didn't know that! Congratulations!!

[the_tailor]

[YES TALK TO HIM ABOUT HIS BOYFRIEND HE IS HAPPY TO GUSH.]

Yeah, we are! I would have made a huge announcement but...well. You know Keith. He'd probably banish me from his room and that's, like, the exact opposite of what I want now.

[monolike]

Oh yeah, I definitely get you. Mikleo can get so bothered whenever I try to brag about him to other people. What's the deal with that?

[the_tailor]

I don't know! It's like, relationships are a good thing, why would you not want to share that with the universe?

[monolike]

I get that he wants his privacy...but at the same time, I wish I could just tell everybody all about him. What he loves to do, what he's good at, cute stuff he does...is it that way with you guys too?

[tsunergy]

Agreed, congratulations.

[apparently dating is a big deal to people, so might as well treat it as such when other people get to enjoy it.]

[the_tailor]

Thank you, Mikleo!

[It is a Very Big Deal, okay.]

Me and Keith should totally go on a double date with you and Sorey one of these days!

[tsunergy]

Is double-dating some kind of cultural standard? It's surprisingly popular.

[he hears about it a fair bit. well, maybe it's good to shake up the norm now and then.]

Regardless, I don't mind. I imagine it'll be less awkward than last time, since Sorey doesn't have to hold your hand...

[the_tailor]

I guess, yeah. It's a good way to bond with your friends and spend time with your significant other.

[He gives a little laugh at that last part.]

Good thing I've spent enough time on the Huntress by now to actually see you. Because, yeeeeeeeeeeah, awkward.

[tsunergy]

Don't you mean I'm going to put an ice cannon on it?

[or are you gonna try

please try

he could use the laugh]

[video]

[monolike]

Please, Lord Mikleo, will you grace us with ice cannons on our super awesome sled?

[tsunergy]

[hmmmmmmmmm.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.]

How will you make it worth my while?

[monolike]

[THINKS.]

...I'll build you that sectional bookcase you wanted for your cross-referencing projects.

[tsunergy]

[....!!!

holy shit he was just joking but]

For real?

[monolike]

[lmao buddy] Yeah for real. With the plates on it so you can swap out labels, right?

[tsunergy]

[loOK you can't judge you're a fucking book nerd too]

Yes, exactly! I'll draw you up the specifications of exactly what I want later.
